Loved your list. I, too, am a list maker and I always add items just to be able to cross them off. I enjoy your blog, I visit almost everyday. I am amazed at how many things we have in common even though I have never been to the south.
I love reading your blog. It gives me comfort!
I'm also a grandmother (grammie) to a little girl. Isn't it awesome??!!?

Oh, tell Gretch that I love the towels and if I don't win I want her to make me some! I will pay, but I hope I don't have to! Love them!

Thanks for stopping by my blog. Your comment was so sweet! I'm impressed by your 100 things! And I have to say, my fingernails also, always look bad!! And my toenails!
I had not blogged in days because it was number 100 and I was not blogging until I had time to sit down and do 100 things about me. I read yours last night and it motivated me to get it done. I was up until 1:45 am. Happy 100th to you... Please enter me for the giveaway. Have a great Easter weekend...
100! WOW!
Congrats.
Okay....numbers:
4, 16, 40, 56, and 75. Yep, me, too!
Oh, and the fingernails one!
Many hugs to you.
Everyone should be lucky enough to have a mom/mom-in-law like you!
And, like Elizabeth, I can NOT believe you have never thrown up. Really? I mean, really-really? Wow. That kind of control is impressive!
PS. I can never FIND my lipstick. I think it's under the blankets in the back of the SUV.
Another giveway!Fun! Maybe this time I will win. I was only one off last time and if my comment had been a minute later I would have been the winner. I am pretty competitive. Can you tell?! Hope you have fun with G,A and EC! Happy Easter to you all!

I've been a bad blog friend lately. Shame on me, but life has been crazy, but in a good way. I've had fun catching up with you though. I loved reading your 100 Things About Me...we have lots and lots in common. But girl...would you really take coconut or lemon over chocolate? Really? That's just not right. LOL Gosh, I hate I missed out on your giveaway, but I'm so glad our friend Tonja won.
Happy Easter too you and your family.
Hugs!
Kat
I am jealous, how have you never thrown up???? That's one of my biggest weirdo fears...
