I agree with you on #91. I don't like it either when people get in the right lane and wnat to go straight. Big babies. This is a great post. You are a fun and silly sister, but one of my best friends too! This blog goes to show you are not a LOOSER!:)

Unknown said...

Melanie said...

I loved reading that too Cath! I didn't know you went water skiing in February!!! You're a great sister - thanks for being YOU.

Carolee said...

loved it, cathy-pooh. i actually learned a few things about you! and I often found myself saying "me too." (maybe that's cuz I always copy you =)) #45 & 46 made me LOL!! I'm so lucky to have you for a sister--and only 2 yrs older than me! You have always been my pal.

Monica said...

I have recently learned for myself that #27 is so you. I told this to Mark the other day, so that is funny that you posted about it. It is fun to have blogger friends.
I enjoyed reading your 100 things, good idea for a 100th post.

Mama Yo said...

Wow. I'm impressed. I should talk about myself more often I guess. All three of my sisters actually commented. ON THE SAME POST EVEN!

Lori Ann, how is the whole move thing going anyway?

Marji - thanks :)

Monica - That is really funny. :)

we are still waiting for our house to sell here in Blackfoot. Tom has been over there working for a month and has come home most weekends. As soon as the house sells or I get a job we will be heading that way. :)

Nicole said...

That is a fun post. I really liked book 4 too, and I can't wait to find out how they do the movie.

AJ said...

Love it!!! I feel inspired to write my own 100 list. I am soo with you with the bad eyesight with super astigmatism. I saved up all the money for Lasik only to find out i am not a candidate. Lovely. i am grateful for glasses though, without them i never could've read Twilight! ;) Book 4 will make a great movie if they can get a good budget and an excellent special effects. I think Renesme will be an awesome challenge to get her right with all her expressions. love your list!
