Wow! Good Job! I don't think I could make such a big list about myself. So intresting, one thing I disagree with is the ironing. I hate that job and I've had a pile of clean clothes sitting on my chair waiting for me to iron them for a month. Bad me, i know.
Wow, that is quite the list! I just purchased a book called`101 things to do with your kids before they leave home.` I`m thinking of creating my own list and taping it to a cupboard door. That way we have goals and they aren`t even big things. Simple things like teaching your children how to write a thank you note, having a pillow fight, etc. Great list Andrea. I learned some new things about you.
k!

Andrea, I really loved reading this post. So many things that made me go, Yup that's my Annie! And others that made me a little teary eyed. The things that you fear, being really honest. I missed the reference to the chocolate chip, pudding, wheat germ, coconut shavings, "diet" snack. Remember? That was your ultimate health food. Geez, I should just go and make some in honor of you! Thanks for posting this; it's inspiring.
What a list! Amazing and so personal. Thanks for sharing but I have to admit that after I read your one salad a day I wanted to fix you a hamburger. Props to you for being healthy and for growing in God. Thanks for sharing.
wow! i really enjoyed your list.I flet like it was me for the a good chunk of it:) i'm so amazed that you take out 60 books a week!! that's awesome!
Wow! I loved reading this. Okay, I was right we are SO much alike!!!!Ugh.Ugh.Ugh. Wish I could shrink the miles....I thought about you this morning as I was praying and thanking God for friends...and you came to my mind. I thought, but I have never met her God? And He said...pray for her. I did. And I felt like I knew you so well. Crazy, I know. Maybe one day :)
This list made me have 101 question for you too....ugh.
I thought I would leave a quick message...I'm not even sure how i got here, but I'm glad I found your blog. We have some things in common in looking at your 100 list. What a brave accomplishment--your list is fabulous!
Have a great weekend!
That's an awesome 100 Andrea! I enjoyed reading it! :)
