I love the picture of all the pink dresses! I love those little dresses too. I cannot believe you broke your right arm 4 times -- how did that happen? It's pretty impressive that you only drink water. I can't imagine saying that I like tofu, and #24 reminds me of my Max SO much...
I'm so glad you made your list Robyn. There are actually a few things on there I didn't know. I also loved all the pictures you put with this post.
--I didn't know you chewed gum while running.
--I don't remember you playing the flute.
--I didn't know about your dislike for movies with Julia Stiles or Drew Barrymore.
--I didn't know you realized your fear of heights while on the Eiffel Tower.
--I don't even know what a rambutan is?!
What a fun idea. Not only does it help others learn new things about you, it probably made you get to know yourself better, too, because you had to take time to ponder it out. (Does that make sense?)
PS I am sorry the links dont work yet. I don't have time to fix them.
I broke my arm on 1. monkey bars when I was four 2. fell off a backstop I was climbing on when six 3. broke my elbow (can't remember what age) 4. flipped over the front of my bike when I was in sixth grade
Yes, I am clumsy.
Excellent list, and I want to come back and comment more on it. In the meantime, just a quick post to say I finally saw your recent comment about Enrichment, and I just emailed you some thoughts. Sorry for the delayed response!!
So glad you decided to make the list. You have quite the stash of cute dresses.
I had no idea you chewed gum while running...maybe that's what I'm missing.
I love the quilt...Is that the on you just bought fabric for?
How interesting that you found out you had a fear of heights while on the Eiffel Tower. Crazy.
I also didn't know you were a fan of camping.
I enjoyed reading your 100 things list and also was surprised at how many I agreed with! I didn't remember you breaking your arm FOUR times but remembered most everything else.
82. I think Matthew McConnaughey is hot
I have to tell you that I agree with this one, too. I was on a flight from SLC to LAX and he was in first class. As we walked through to the coach cabin, I couldn't help but just stare at him. He was even MORE beautiful in person than on TV (if that is possible.)
I too like to play Boggle and hate the word panty. I like those shoes and that car. I think it's cool you have an appreciation for so much of culture and the world.
I also read magazines backwards, thanks to my favorite section of People- "Chatter." (the last page)
I LOVE this list! I loved reading through it. It captures you so well. I too love that quilt. Did you make that one? When? Whose is it?
The quilt is the one I made for Olivia that is twin/single bed size. I finished it last year. I wish I could use it but right now Austin and Olivia share a room so they have matching duvets from Ikea.
Great list! I, too, like Greys, pedicures, hate baths and pine sol! What an adventure to live so far from home!
I too give up too easily, have to finish books, and have come a long way from the obsessively compulsive neat freak I was as a girl. I love pumpkin, swimming, and the Great Gatsby and am not fond of needy people or ironing.
