OK, #68 cracked me up!! I'm afraid to even ask why you were trying to fail. :)
I'm dying to make a trip to Disneyland...I was hoping this year but it's not looking good. I want to do the Walt tour and stuff too. I'll be nagging you for tips.
#100 is my favorite though...doesn't it just make everything else worth it!? :)
I am finding it amazing how much we all seem to have in common.
A debutante huh? interesting. Congrats on the promotion but sorry your job doesn't excite you.
I love these lists. We have learned so much about each other.
I thought I was the only freak that liked school supplies. I love it when school is about to start and the sale ads have all the school supplies advertised. I don't have much use for these things but if I see a really good sale (like 10 cent crayons) I will go buy a bunch and donate them to the school.
I love Kermit too.
Jessica
oh yes, these lists are proving sooooooooo darn interesting!
I will come back soon and have another browse through as well!
I had not thought of stationery supplies on mine, but yes, I totally agree! I buy new notebooks all the time and love pens and pencils, and big fat diaries.
Very impressed on the Debutante Issue too. Ok, I am English, what is a "potty" mouth?????
So pleased you gave my adopted home a wonderful mention too.
Love and much light Michele, from Jeannie in Scotland ;0)

I must have read this when I was tired because I had forgotten you had done it, and I obviously didn't comment. I have finally got round to doing it too as I thought I was letting the side down.
What a fascinating mix you've written up. Like Jeannie, I'll come back again. Actually I'm looking at everyone's 100 again.
Just to make you feel great - I really really struggled with 40.
Katherine
BTW - when IS the big date for 4-0?
:)
I love #100 too. After having a cat first, the dogs really make me feel so much more appreciated. I love the show Sex in the City too. I wonder if the movie will be any good. Fleece is awesome.
Valerie
Jessica is a genius for starting this! I'm learning so much about you girls.
I was forced to take Jazz for 10 years & hated every second of it. And I'm exceptionally glad there is another person who likes to go to bed before 11!
Oh & my dogs make me feel like I'm the greatest person on earth. Even after a bad day, they can put me in a good mood the second I walk through the door.
Jen
Hi Michele
Told you I ws reading them all again. Actually I've come back because I realised I had got so fascinated reading down the list that I forgot to say well done on the promotion to director. Good one.
Kate
As if you 100 list isn't enough.... I tagged you on my blog. Only if you feel like it. Don't feel obligated.
