Oh man, this brings back som many memories - watching Nadia non stop - and pretendinig we could do the same warm up excersizes they could! yeah right!
oh the days of riding the school bus, being completely humiliated anytime you would see a classmate drive by in their car - you know i was ducking in my seat!
that was amazing. i don't know if i could do that.
i look like a bird pooped on my head in the scott cheesecake picture. what did it say again?
you haven't voted? i am giving you the stink eye.
i too wanted to be a gymnast. i had my list of favorites, but the QUEEN is kim zmeskal. i even had mary lou retton's haircut. it was terrible, i know.
it said "4 the wedge" because thats what scott called the pie pieces in trivial pursuit wedges instead.
heidi, i would LOVE to read a list of 100 things about you. you should give it a try!
I can't believe you were the pianst all those years. Well, I can because they probably had no one else to call on! I am a left handed person and so is one of my kids. Funny, I always wanted to be right handed because I thought they wrote better.
Your ring is pretty!
That's a great list! I am glad you did it. It is fun to see the ones I know and learn new things about you!
Jessica,
# 44 made me laugh out loud. Did your mom have to bring you some new clothes?
#64-I totally remember when Heidi's hair was that color.
#99-me too! I had that one my list before I saw your 100. It sometimes stinks being short.
To Kill a Mockingbird is my favorite book too. I would love to name this baby Harper if its a girl, but Dave has a boss he HATES whose last name is Harpster, and its too close for him.
I also fear that I am inherently lazy!
What a fun post! Thanks for stopping by mine. We have a lot in common - #1, 2, 25, 53, 63, and 61 are so totally me too. Although 13 and 14 are so not me. I love your wedding ring pic!
It was great to see you at work yesterday for 2 seconds! We are in the nursery in our ward, and just realized your husband knows the guy we teach with- Josh Dyreng? He's great! He thinks your hubby is cool!
I've been meaning to post. I didn't realize just how much I knew about you either. I guess during our walks we really did talk about a lot of things all around.
I'm impressed with how high tech you are. HOw in the world do you get pictures that are not your own or add link?
Miss you, even though we still live in the same city. So, sad!
This was really fun to read. I also have a strawberry birth mark, AND both of my second toes are longer than my big toes. I love that the first gift Scott got for you was school supplies (reminds me of "You've Got Mail," when Tom Hanks tells Meg Ryan that if he knew her address he would send her a bouquet of freshly sharpened pencils). :) I just did my list. It was hard for me to think of 100 things, so bravo!!
Loved reading your list of 100. It's fun to see similaries and differences between friends. I remember that Nadia movie (didn't she drink bleach?). Plus--Gardenia is my absolute favorite flower scent as well.
well if you ever do #39 you have a place to stay!
great list.
Curly hair rocks! And your hair looks awesome curly! :)
#27- If memory serves, I seem to remember an incident involving a temple trip and a certain unnamed youth from the West Bank...
Good list.
That was actually me. I didn't realize I was signed in under Erica.
