79 is exactly exactly the same thing as I do. So darn funny to me.
Loved the list and congrats on the big 100. And your not addicted. Your a die hard fan of blogging.
I like the new background. Sorry I didn't mention that.
very, very interesting. I like the 100 list, it's always intersting to get to know peoples intersting facts.
If you think you love people mag, try people.com, now that's fun.
I'm going to offer Nolan a piece of gum next time I see him.
That was so much fun to read!
whoa! Thats a whole lot of Terra and Jon I feel like we are related now! I don't think I could come up with that many interesting things about me! :)
We too are huge OFFICE fans. How'd you like that finale? I swear everytime I won't keep watching if Pam & Jim don't get together.
It was neat to learn more about you, I may have to steal this idea when I get up to 100. I agree on the Twilight one, it's hard to eat when I'm enjoying the book so much! I think I lost a couple of pounds from reading The Host too.
i love that you are willing to share so much about yourself and your family! we will be visiting #98 in three weeks...you and i will have to talk about this very soon :)
