Holy Macaroni! Good job! I want to try that! I miss you and reading all that stuff made me miss you even more. I can't believe it's been seven years since you got married! Time sure flies!
That was fun to read, but yes, I agree, that would be very challenging to think of all those things. You were so cute with so many of them!! I didn't know you had a tubal preg. Did you need surgery? I bet that was really hard! Another 4 yrs in Australia! Wow, you are such a trooper!! Do you think you'll settle on the east coast afterwards? That's interesting a Jehovah's Witness came to your door! I miss you Vanessa!!
Wow, I knew almost all 100 of your facts! I'm impressed. Of course I'm not sure I could've come up with all of them, but I wasn't surprised by very many. I don't think I knew you were kinda 'scared' of the dark. Hmm. Well it was uber fun to read even though I need to be working on stuff for school. Tehe. Good job the wee one.
(I can think of a few you didn't put on the list, but it was fun. Not sure I'd have an easy time doing it for myself, I agree that I'd feel pretty self-centered after writing 99 I statements.)
THat was actually a great job, woman! The funny part was seeing how much I already knew about you. I guess there are some things about us that never change.
I hated high school, too. Bleh.
Reading blogs is good fun...I wish I could trade you some of my love of cooking for some of your love of vacuuming...and i suck at keeping in touch with old friends, too, but I think you and I are doing better! :)
Have a great weekend! (oh and I've been thinking about going back to school at some point for nutrition, too!!!)
Good work, Vanessa! I miss you. I wish you weren't across the world for the next 4 years. But, hey, that's life I guess. Did you guys get my announcement yet? It will be some "real mail" for you. :)
I haven't read your blog in a long time, so I was catching up on the last 10 posts. Haha. Love you!
