Great 100 things!

Joanne said...

Happy 100th post! Thanks for letting us get to know you better.

I LOVE Gone with the Wind! And I've been wanting to go to Fuddruckers for a while to see why people like it so much. And totally creepy...but I LOVE the song Brandy, too! I love oldies...I sometimes think I was born in the wrong decade. :)

The one thing on my Christmas list is a Wii. That thing is addicting. Good luck on your first contest.

I wandered over here from SITS - I saw your comment this morning and thought I would stop by.

DiPaola Momma said...

stopped by from SITS cuz you said you'd posted your 100th post and I was tre impressed.. THEN I found out we have these things in common. #1 and 3.. and 4 (only the 2nd 2 have a different daddy, but both GREAT guys). I'm 37 now, I took my oldest (who will soon have his temp lic.. eeeekkkk) to SEE Fall Out Boy last year and WOW what a show. My BFF's hubby is Avril Lavigne's drummer.. so we have that music thing in common. My hubby's dog growing up was named Brandy after that song! I am ALWAYS on the sofa infront of the TV on Sunday w/my hubby for football season. Wish the pack would have won last nite! So the VIKES had a better shot at the post season. Though hubby is the V fan I'm a Charger fan (life long, not band wagon). Aaron Rogers is a hunk. I love dressing up but hate my figure. Wow I need to follow your blog huh?!

DiPaola Momma said...

oopse I forgot to tell you one thing on MY Christmas list... A new set of kitchen shears (professional grade not crappy ones). Mine finaly bit it after 7 years.

Safire said...

Happy 100th post! (Here from SITS roll call.) Cute necklace and good giveaway. :) Have a very Merry Christmas!

Oh, one thing on my Christmas list...for my niece to get out of the PICU and home for Christmas.

Kati Sue* said...

Great List!! I am getting close to my 100th post as well.. and I used to sell Avon! Have a great holiday!

Hmm.. on my list.. new cowboy boots! I have hot pink boots that I got last year for my birthday and I got them signed at a concert.. and now I can no longer wear them! Haha!

Queenie Jeannie said...

Congratulations on your 100th post!!

Over from SITS, and it's nice to *meet* you hun! I lived in LaCrosse and Madison, so very familiar with WI - stay warm!!!! My husband is a huge Packers fan and is bummed they lost last night. He stayed up to watch!

One thing on my Christmas list is a new purse....and seeing how I was WITH my husband, I know I got it, lol!! Can't wait to use it!!!

That's a lovely necklace set! Hope I win!!

Jamie said...

Good Morning! I'm visiting from SITS. Congratulations on 100 posts! I noticed your from WI....Me TOO! Ok, so Aaron Rogers is a cutie but he'll never be Ben Roethlisberger (I like both the Packers and the Steelers....got my NFC and my AFC team so I'm covered.)

One thing on my Christmas list?

8 gigabyte IPod...Just to name one thing.

Joy said...

On my list? To have my new-to-me old piano tuned - which I got early. :o)

Loved reading your personal info!!

Leah said...

Great post of 100things!

On my Chirstmas list??? Husband home for Christmas day, but it's too late for that. {He's over seas}

So another thing would be....hummm this is sad, I can't really think of anything. I'll have to get back to you.

{yeah for your 100th post}

Ann said...

I picked the best day to visit.... I love getting to know people and the 100 list certainly does that. Fun. Fun. Fun. Thanks for sharing.

Looking at SITS blogs this morning...please make sure to stop by my blog to sign up for both of my "gift-a-ways"... Happy Tuesday!

On my list.....just get me home safe. My husband and I are on day 2 of what is looking like, out of 5. The weather is awful. Yesterday it was a white out. Time to get in the car. Sigh.

WishTrish said...

I read them all! I can't believe you've won several giveaways! I have never wone any! Anyhow, don't enter me in this one, as I don't wear jewelery at all... but just wanted to say, "hello" and that I don't giggle-giggle either. :0) But I laugh A LOT!
