I have seen this on several blogs and have decided to attempt it myself. No one has tagged me or challenged me or asked me.

You forgot to mention on #48 that Bonnie the Unicorns full name was "Bonnie the Acorn" a title really. -Carrie
Nice list. I may steal this idea for my own blog. Probably just 50 though. Of all of those, you need to correct the Lord of the Rings one. You're missing out on some great movies.
Great List Jessica--I can't fathom why you like the smell of wet cement and I'm curious what caused you to stop showering with flip flops on...
Cute side bar pictures by the way!
Marge: Homer, the lady in our trash pile bit me again.
Homer: Thats not her side of the story.
I love the smell of wet cement too and dirt actually. I dreamed about Natalie last night. I was just taking her places, dressing her, it was really fun. Love, mom.
everytime i read all these little details about you, i find myself laughing really hard because you are so honest..i think you should do a hundred things every week thing. :)by the way, i found 39 more things we have in common!:)
I had tubes in my ears too! Twice!
Among other things we have in common...I miss you girl! Great list!
Hahaha what a great post! I'll have to start working on one of those lists myself. :)
Jessica:
I don't know if you knew this or not, but I read your blog several times a week. Your kids are sooo darn cute and I love the things you write. I hope you don't mind, but it gives me so much joy to see you and your very happy life! I tell your Mom everytime I see her that she has the cutest grandkids in the world. Thanks for sharing your list! It was great!

I read all 100 because we have 88 in common. I hate fruit pies too.
my goodness I had so much to catch up on! I loved the list! I can't wait until my little rugrat is old enough to enjoy christmas (besides the paper anyway).
This is a great blog entry... I didn't know you liked to watch football. I HATE watching football.
I haven't been at the computer for awhile, so I'm catching up! What a great list! Some things we knew,
and what fun to learn all the rest!
Thanks so much for sharing YOU, in
addition to all that you do to enrich the lives of all of us who know and love you!!! You're such a great wife to Nate and a fantastic mom - I'll quit going on & on and just tell you that:
YOU ARE AWESOME!!!
Who doesn't love the dollar aisles. I can't believe you used to practice writing with your left hand too. Have we talked about this before? and I wrote all this bc of #33- I hope you're happy...and I'm going to try to remember to ask you about the screw in your foot story...I don't remember that, crazy.
I love your list, I feel like I know you so much better! The sandles in the shower is hilarious and I agree with you about the roller coasters. BTW, I found your blog from the Teeples..yes, I am a blog hopper.
That was really fun to read! I never knew so many things about you. You family is so cute! I hope that things are still going good in Ohio!
