My favorite color is purple, I don't get reality shows either. I have been known to be a little TOO independent.
Good List thanks for sharing yourself, but I feel a little bad, I don't have a favorite poet!?
Oprah rocks! But I rarely get to watch her.
You must have let go of the whole "I'm going to hell" thing becuase you swore in #82 & I'm tellin' God on you! J/K of course! I really love The Giving Tree & I've read the controvery surrounding that book, but I disagree & love it anyway! Oprah is great & I used to watch her a lot, but she does feed the fears of worried moms w/horror stories masked as the "What every mom should know about..." titles. Her magazine is pretty good too. And I love my minivan too! I enjoyed your list!!!
I am such an ugly sweater!
Sleeping is my #1 favorite activity to do (why it's not on my list is beyond me!)
I would enjoy scrpabooking if it 1. wasn't so friggin' expensive 2. if the little shavings of paper cleaned up themselves and 3. if my pages came out like the one's in the catalogs do.
I love color of all kinds ~ no two rooms in my house are the same.
I'm not, nor do I ever plan on being a damn proud mini-van driver / mom ~ I'm just a different breed I guess! ~_~
Love the list ~ this is fun and I think I could come up w/ at least 50 more, but Halle's nap time is almost over and Oprah comes in in 45 minutes.
Beaner ~ Someone once said that Damn isn't a cuss word in Texas! I was actually just going for emphasis/humor/shock value!:)
Mae...mini-van...never say never.. I once thought the same thing but it works!!! :0
Mae, My husband swore that he would never own a minivan, but we are proud owners of a Toyota Sienna!
I love Oprah as well! I wish she was my aunt. I hate reality TV. I am allergic to exercise as well. My cheeks turn beet red. I think we need to buy a house on Cape Cod so we could live there in the summer, b/c a abhore hot weather! I also agree with the whole cooking for a crowd thing. I would much rather cook a big feast rather than made weeknight beans and weenies for the kids!
SG - I have to laugh because I struggle w/swearing all the time - I grew up in Chicago in a blue-collar neighborhood so I'm used to colorful language! It always struck me as odd the way they edit swearing for TV - they'll bleep out the God but keep in the damn. So which one is the swear word???
Mae, I didn't know you were a sweater! What kind? Cardigan, Vest, V-neck, Crew, Turtle?
Note to self...When faced with the decision to swear or not to swear...always go with not swearing!!!
I just recieved an e-mail from someone very concerned that I misrepresented myself with that little 4 letter word in #82. Really I don't ever say that, it just seemed comical..but maybe not.
Stephanie, I know you got the e-mail of the original comment. Conscience just got me, had to delete it! I feel so naughty!
djg~I did get and I laughed out loud! If you were trying to make me feel better...it worked! :)
OK, I finally got Mae's comment. Sweat-er, not sweater! Clarissa, I was on the same page as you!
Did something get edited before I got a chance to read it???
=( JB
what prompted the list? I enjoyed reading it. Just curious.
I loved your #65 about the B&D tool set!! Two years ago I got a drill for Christmas....I love it!!!
And I totally relate to your allergy to exercise and abhorence to sweat. That is totally me. I really love living in Texas, but wish we could transplant the Colorado climate down here!!
I find occasional cussing can be quite therapeutic.
ROFLOL! I was wondering about Mae's sweater comment too!
Oh! I have to be so careful with what I say. I'm around cops all night, so I hear it all, and it does tend to come out now and again. But it's really bad, because I try not to, and my 18 month old has already picked up, "DANG!" : O
