I don't think I have 100 things. I like smooth legs too, I just get tired of shaving mine all the time!

Jenn said...

I LOVE your list!!! I could almost totally copy your list and put it on my blog...The fish thing...oh, me too! That is the reason I don't enjoy eating at Red Lobster...all they have is fish and creatures that are in the water with fish!!
I'll get on my list tonight or tomorrow. No fever today for Grace...yippee!!!

OK, so a friend tagged me to do this a while back with fewer but longer questions...so I paraphrased her request because I liked yours better...now my friend does too! I love your list, it helped me get mine started.
Hope you don't mind.
I love your blog!
