  1. Saw your comment at The Gaspards blog. Are you from Iowa? That is where my husband grew up and his parents actually still live there. I just have to say you need to try red beans and rice. We live in the South too. My husband is a convert. He doesn't have any desire to return to the small town he grew up in. Where are you in Iowa? My URL is www.muddlinthrumotherhood.blogspot.com
    Come by and see me.

  6. Happy 200th post. Great list.!! And congrats to all your traffic. It is huge for just starting your blog in Feb. I think we started our blog about the same time. I don't post as much as you though. You do a great job and your blog is always so fun to read.

  8. Thanks for giving me an idea for my post for today. I totally missed my 100th post, so I'm gonna do something like this.

    We even like the same things, except I got rid of my 3rd Caravan. It was broken way too much. Now I've got a Highlander (less Mommy looking, just in case some young guy wanted to check me out ... right? .. don't worry, no one's checking me out unless they're bald, toothless, and over 60).

  9. I read them all! Do I get a prize? ;-)

    I found out about the 100th post thing when I had posted about 97 entries. I started a list, but never finished it. Now it will have to be my, like, 125th post or something! :-)

    And your list gives my list an inferiority complex, so I may have to rework it a bit... Okay, I may never actually get it posted, but I wanted someone to know I tried!

    CONGRATULATIONS on finding a new love! :-D

  27. I saw your comment over at Jackie's blog and it just spoke to my heart in its elegant simplicity.

    THought I'd jump over and take a looksee. Lurved your 100 things. I feel you on so many of them, especially the men's restroom thing. And men's locker room. My son is now 12 and 5'10", but I remember his little boy days and my angst like it was yesterday.

    Blessings on your week. BTW, we have a dachshund, too. :)

  28. Hey, Sarah!

    Nice meeting you! I love 100 things because it makes it easy to cut to the chase & see who you really are! I'll be back to read your blog!
    Love,
    Angie xoxo
