I saw this on someone else's blog, and thought it looked like fun. Hope you don't fall asleep!
1. I love to read- I think my favorite book is probably Pride and Prejudice.
2. I have never dyed or highlighted my hair before. EVER.

4. I am pretty good at memorizing. I can memorize a song pretty easily.
5. I am bad at keeping secrets from Peter (unless it's something he wouldn't care about anyway). I mean it's hard for me to keep surprises from him.
6. I cry easily- during movies, Primary programs, etc.
7. I have a good sense of direction.
8. I am a real worrier. It was really hard for me to let Jonah stay with my mom and dad even though I know they can take care of him.

37. I love tulips, gardenias, and peonies.
38. I like playing card games, and can get competitive.
39. I am the only kid in my family that doesn't play an instrument besides a little piano. Kira- drums, bass, guitar; Lexie- drums, bass; Michaela- piano, trumpet, drums; Tibi- trumpet; Landon- piano, drums. It makes me sad and I am pretty self-conscious about it, since they kind of have a band and all I can do is sing.

That was so much fun to read. We have a lot in common. I HATE to be tickled too. It shouldn't be possible to torture someone while they are forced to laugh. Ocean animals freak me out too. How do you know what's under there?
I could totally relate to a lot of what you wrote! Thanks for sharing all that - I will try to do it too very soon! I'm glad you didn't "tag" 100 people too!
I definitely like you. I have liked you from the moment I met you. I can't think of one person who doesn't like you! I loved this blog! Now you have me thinking. 100 things is a lot. I'm impressed! I learned a lot and I think we have a lot in common.
I'll do it Con if you really want me to, but after reading this a lot of ours would be the same, we have some things in common it seems...but some things are not, so I don't know I just don't want it to be too similar but a few of them I was like "I have to put this one"...
Man, it took me forever to come up with 100 things! It's cool to read though. By the way I finally saw Jane Eyre. I really liked it, but I was surprised you could watch it over and over since a lot of it is pretty spooky!
We have a lot of things in common! I too, do not like the ocean or the creatures in it! I went to Baja once, and go freaked out when I learned that sting rays "hang out" in really shallow water, like waist deep! So when it was time for me and my friends to go in the water, I decided I was going to stay on a boogie board and not but any part of me in the water! Well that worked until my friend's dad pushed me off, because I guess he thought I was being a wuss. Oh well. No one got stung. But I still stay away from the ocean.
That was really fun to read. I've been meaning to do one of these "things about me" posts for a long time...but life seems too busy sometimes. I guess I just have to do it!
You should add that you're a good writer. Clever and interesting the way you listed things.
Connie, I never realized how much we have in common. We have to get together this next week and have that play date. Let me know what works for you. Are you guys on Spring Break?
