OK, in my draft it shows numbers...I don't know why when it published it changes to stars! grrr.
Yeah, it's so strange, when I read it in bloglines it shows the numbers. But not on the site. Fun list. I love sushi too. Sushi craving, very intense, this very moment, actually. Eeekk. I need to go rummage in the kitchen now for some poor pitiful substitute . Oh, sushi. I want sushi for my birthday. Or maybe Christmas. Christmas is sooner.
Mary
Mmm...cream cheese and dates is what I found. Ever had that combo? Sounds weird, but it is yummy....
Not quite as good as sushi tho.
Mary
Great list! I had a miscarriage too. And congrats on your 100th post!
I like the flowers/stars better than numbers!!
I really enjoyed your list- how cool to study dance! Are you sure you can't post a little video of you dancing on here?
Enjoyed getting to know you better. We are the same age. :)
LOL Mary!
Yeah Stephanie I guess my tired eyes didn't see that they actually are flowers!
I guess I meant to say that it was the first time I'd written the word "miscarriage" I guess every one figured that out since I actually did write about losing the baby!!
We have a few things in common. knew I liked you.
Never studied dance but the Lord has been teaching me to dance for him. Fun stuff.
We had a home birth with a midwife. I loved it!! Labored in the water.
I am so terrible in the fashion sense, I should ask my husband too..
Hubby and I had our 10th anniversary of our first date this year as well. 9th for wedding anniversary.
So interesting to learn all about you!
Congratulations on a natural child birth! My labor was a quickie as well, just seven hours, but I opted for the painless route :) I'm sort of wimpy like that though.
And I am with you on the organics, too bad the good stuff costs so much more.
Great list. I also love when people post these. Seems hard tho to come up with 100 things about me.
I also do organic when I can. I love summer when veggies come out of my garden. But I'm not sure I could can like you did.
I love reading these! It's funny learning the little things!
Hmmmm . . . How did you like the Birth Center? The only midwives around here practice at one, and I can't imagine not using a midwife like I did for my two boys. I'd love your thoughts!
Hi, I'm bloghopping today, I have no idea how I got here, but I enjoyed your 100 things post!
