Allow me to THANK each and everyone of you who have visited my blog.  I'm so grateful, to everyone, who have reached out to me and allowed me to be part of your world!  The friendships I have formed with my blog buddies are as significant and meaningful as those I have formed in my real life.

I am really excited about what the next 100 posts will bring.

30 Days of Thanks (Day 21)

I am thankful for the INTERNET. There was a time when there was absolutely no way to communicate with anybody in another place or country without it costing a lot of money. Or gathering information without going through books and encyclopedias.  Now it's as easy as clicking a mouse!  Being away from home, the internet plays a huge role in keeping in touch with family and friends. I am also thankful for the people I met through it.  The internet is the medium that brought us together.  For good or bad, the internet is truly an essential part of our lives.  That being said, it should be used wisely.

  4. That is quite the list! I got pregnant in Ohio when I was 20! I was 21 when I had my son (in Ohio!). In what city did you have your daughter? It's nice to see another young parent who turned out well. :)

  5. We DO have a lot in common! That's amazing that you could list 100 things, I have trouble doing 3 things Thursday because I can't think of anything... :)

  9. 22 and 23... we are polar opposites... I guess that means we would compliment each other well.

    Uh-oh, I'm a nagger... guess we can't be friends... only because I totally lack PATIENCE and hate waiting...

    Like your shrimp allergy, I recently became allergic to red wine... I love both of those things... not sure which is worse!!!

    88 & 89 - I'd be glad to donate some of mine...

  10. Hi Julie,
    Wow, I am impressed with your ability to think of 100 very cool things about yourself:) This was a fun post!

    I was a cheerleader in high school too! Football, wrestling and basketball.....so much fun:)

    Have a great week! Hugs!

  11. Congrats on your 100th post. I watched Rent last night on TV. La Vie Boheme is one of my favorite scenes.

    ReplyDelete
  12. Yep, we have a lot in common! Especially #8, 15, 34, 46 (I wish you lived closer! No one else will go eat these things with me!!!), 51, 61, 64, 67 (I have a pit bull, an American bulldog, and a cat!), 70(!!!), 75 (more like what comes AFTER death), 80 (are we long-lost sisters????), 81, 87 (as of Memorial Day of this year. What a feeling!), and 95.

    But why so early with the Christmas tree??? lol We do NOT have that in common! I wouldn't even HAVE one if my husband didn't force it.

    Hey, you commented on my blog a little while ago that the same thing had happened to you and that was how you were injured. What were you referring to? I haven't been following you all that long, so I don't know the history there!

    Thanks for the offer to run with me, but I'm not sure how well that would work. You're doing the Galloway method and I haven't trained that way. I would be afraid to change my tactics this late in the game! I don't want to do something on race day that I've never done before. I would like to at least meet up at the expo or start line though! You left me your email address in a comment. I'll email you my cell # so you can text me! Or call me, either one. (Do people even use cell phones to talk on anymore? lol) We're not flying in until Friday afternoon, so I doubt we get there early enough to go to the expo that night. I'm sure I'll be going Saturday.

    Did you get your confirmation email? I got mine a couple of days ago. I'm in corral 16. Do you know where you're at in the corrals?

  13. I loved reading your list - Interesting to know the "Hot Legs" origin AND my fav musical of all time is Rent and Seasons of Love makes me sooooo happy. I just posted that video on my fb page about a week or so ago AND just downloaded it to my iPod it's in my running rotation... though it's slower, it always makes me motivated and happy in my run.

  16. Congrats on the 100th post!! I loved reading all of your facts:) My computer is my extra limb too! You are adorable.

    ReplyDelete
  17. This was fun! I dislike the word hate too...rarely use it. Facebook is easy to be addicted to but so is this blog world if I'm not careful. Happy 100th post day!

    ReplyDelete
  18. I love reading these lists! I'm type O too, Universal Donors Baby!

    ReplyDelete
  19. Now I am really happy that you pray every day and that you are a born again Christian. Those two are the Most important. I quit smoking too. lol. I loved your list. BTW, if you LOVE ENGLISH accents, you really should listen to marathontalk.com as they are from the UK. Go now and check it out. You will LOVE it. Thanks for sharing. I think I am on post 120 or something.

  20. I love that you came up with 100 things! I think it would take me a while! Hopefully we can run into each other in Vegas!!

    ReplyDelete
  21. A few things we have in common...I am also a cryer. My roommate freshman year in college said I had "emotional diarrhea." I also avoid the word 'hate', yet hate it when things don't go according to plan.

    One thing we don't have in common - I actually really like math. Ha! What a geek!

    ReplyDelete
