    I wouldn’t want to live in Tukwila either. And Everett has way too many e’s and t’s for me.

    I love posts like these! I forgot to put in mine I’m not a coffee drinker, makes me gag even though I love the smell. And when I finally meet you, I will be hugging you, deal with it! :P

    Btw- bloggers, insomnia, anxiety, dark chocolate…Seems common, no? Maybe writers are all insecure people who like to indulge ourselves to make us feel better?

    But all of that work paid off!

    Is it a particular accent that you think is intelligent? Or all of them? Because I have a southern accent and I could call you up so you can hear me talk and impress you with how I gots the smarts real good.

    Great 100 list!

    (oh dear lawd, the word verification letters I have to type in to post this is a mixed up spelling o hoohaa. Go figure!)

    Great list … I love reading these kinds of posts.

    I also hate touching raw meat but do love a good steak.

    Not a fan of Matthew McConaughey’s either. He’s an arrogant fool and his grooming habits sound a little sketchy.

    Princess Di’s death still saddens me too … I will never forget hearing about that. It was the night before my wedding and when Hubby told me the news, I just couldn’t believe it.

    Happy 100th post! I loved your approach to it.

    I don’t like fake body parts.

    I am not a fan of Wal-Hud.

    My birthday is in January, although I already turned 30 in 2006.

    I hope you are able to have more children!

    Great, list!
    I’m with you… runny eggs. Ick.
    Born in alaska, that’s kinda cool. (although other people might think it’s more interesting than you think it is…)
