Wow! I can't believe you're already at 100! You're so far ahead of me, I think we started pretty close to the same time. Congratulations! (I also can't believe you found time to write your 100 lists with all the upcoming excitement!)
:)
Sarah,
It didn't take long, I just sat down and typed the first 100 things that came to my mind.
I apparently have a lot to say, and remember I don't have a kid yet, so I have lots of free time for posting.
I'm so jealous! You know the number of posts??? I'm sure that information is in my site admin side, but I'm too lazy to find it.
Next time I do a 100 or 101 list, I should start with:
1. I'm very lazy.
Great list. Loved getting to know you more.
Hey, it's me again. I finally had time to read your whole list. I am totally jealous you met the Dahli Lama. I recently wrote a list of people I would like to meet and he was on it. Also, I hate cleaning too, with a passion. AND am quickly losing faith in the education system (working with the same kids as you, just younger)
