Yea, another list! I loved reading yours. I think EVERYBODY went to Dr. Garn! I love that you call your Grandma every day. That is so sweet. I need to call mine more often - a goal for the new year!
#74.... well girl you know who to talk to when you do.
i made mine last night. it is like some kind of therapy. just don't know if i have the guts to post it.
i love your list! i can relate to so many things on here! i just might have to make a list myself... :)
Great list Jenny! I learned so much about you even though I have been reading your blog for many months.
The large laundry room should be at the top of my list too and I love my own pillow, it goes everywhere with me!
Kristi's right it is some type of therapy. It felt good when I finished last night!
Wow - you are interesting. I felt sort of boring when I finished mine. It is fun to read so many things about you. I am kind of sad when I get to the last item on everyone's list.
What a great list! I loved reading it...and I loved the things you told us about.
I'm like Amie, I was sad to see the list end and found things so interesting.
I would have never guessed you never exercised until a few years ago...never. You look like you've always exercised. I'd have never guessed you graduated in pyschology, either. I'd have guessed something exercise based!
Thanks for sharing.
What a fun list Jenny!
And did the Lucy that posts on your blog go to our same BYU ward? She looks familiar...
Loved your list! So funny that your nick name was Dolly! We are so alike in so many ways! It seems I think that after every list I read! It's so great!
Wow. I learned a ton about you and it was fun. I love Bag Balm and want to travel to the same places. I also think it's neat that you loved nursing. I have found it to be wonderful but difficult.
Forgot to mention I love to collect stickers too.
I just love this list idea, it is such a fun way to get to know so many people! What is bag balm?
Your list was great, I too love Diet Coke!!
Becca-It comes in a big green can and is used for diaper rashes etc. It's an ointment. I mainly use it for chapped lips and dry skin.
Jenny, the dolly nickname totally cracks me up! I really enjoyed reading your list, even though I know you, it was still fun to learn more about you! I'm in the process of making my list, but keep getting interupted. It has been so fun to read everyone's lists!
That was so fun to read your list. I loved the cheerleading stuff. My Sister in law was a cheerleader for Berkely when she was married and had two kids. It only lasted a year since it was so hard to travel, etc.
I totally don't believe that about the "Dolly" thing! You must show pictures to prove that!!
And how could you hate your hair, what is there to hate about it? I love your hair!!
That is SO great that you talk to your Grandma *every* day. How do you find time to do it.
You're a convert? How did you find the church?
So fun to learn more about you!
I loved reading your list! Thanks for posting yours too!! I have not listened to Better than Ezra in years.. brought back lots of memories!
It was fun to learn so much about you. I wanted to be a Phoenix suns dancer. But I was too scared to try out. I hate cats too!!!!!!!!
Such an interesting list. It has been so great to learn more about you.
I'm so sorry you get headaches from chocolate. I don't know what I'd do.
I scored horrible on my ACTs too.
I was always jealous of my sister who collected sticker when we were children.
I find it so interesting that you travel with your pillow because you love the smell.
A Mesa girl? or perhaps a different Dr. Garn. I'm traveling from site to site reading lists tonight. Yours cracked me up. You must have amazing skin to have just started wearing make-up! I envy that. I also envy that you're thinner now than on your wedding day.
I love the picture of your kids...so cute.
How fun was that to read? You are such an interesting person. 100 things...that would be a challenge. Nice work.
Great list. I thought I knew most things about you but was surprised by a few...I didn't know you hated your hair, why? We scored about the same on our ACT's, I'm so stupid! Am I in your dream whenyou win a million dollars? hehehe WD40? YUCKY! I've seen you with the nack of your hand up to your nose, but never knew you were doing that because you were nervous or tired. I want to do a triatholan, too. Have we talked abou tthat before? The swimming part would probably kill me.
I've started my list, but am searching for old pictures to scan to post with it. I thought it would be hard to think of 100 but I thought of more so will have to eliminate some.
I have loved reading all the lists. Yours was so fun and informational, I keep thinking of my 100's and the goofy things that make me...me. Thanks for sharing.
...And I thought I knew you. I know you say that you don't mind when other people's houses are dirty, but you failed to mention that you just start cleaning them out of habit. I miss living next to you. Stickers- I never knew.
I loved your list. I could relate to many on your list. My husband would be giving you "high five" on your Chips Ahoy and milk before bed every night. He is the same!! So fun!!!
How seriously do you collect stickers?
That's kind of funny about smelling the top of your hand when you're tired or nervous.
I can't believe you have the same bottles of perfume from high school!
Dana-Lucy is Doug's roomates sister from BYU. She wasn't in our ward, but maybe you know her from classes?
Jill-I am actually sad they don't make the stickers like they used to. I have many from my childhood still. I collect holiday stickers or really any kind. I just love them!
Kari-I looked for a picture with me, but--you'll have to trust me on it. Also I wrote out my conversion story, so you can click convert on the post.
amy s.- Yes I am totally a Mesa girl and a former Mtn. View toro!
All your comments crack me up....isn't it funny when you think you know a person and you really don't?
Jenny - hey I am Anna's sister and just wanted to say Hi! I love your list!
It is funny that you listed "I HATE cats," because I was thinking the other day why would someone hate cats. Dogs, I can understand. They lick, jump, stink, all when you don't want them to. I wondered, what does a cat do to make someone hate 'em? Can you guess what kind of pet I have? :) Try not to be such a hater...they really are so sweet! :)
Great list and a fun read.
Fun list. I'm another sister of Anna's. Went to Dr. Garn for my last year in braces -as I had moved from CA. His son (& his son's wife)was in my class of '89.
Now he is Dr. Garn!
I smiled big when I read you phone your g.ma every day! wow!! how sweet is that!!! For both of you.
-ciao
love your list! it's so fun to read these and feel like you know someone better. we should all do one about every 6 months or so. i had fun doing mine and now think about things a little differently like i'm continuing a list in my head. silly! i too hang up with "i love you's" with my family and my husband says that i smell things that aren't even there. so sad you get headaches from chocolate, although that would probably help me out a lot these days! i too wanted to be an olympic swimmer and trained until i was about 14. my coach competed in the olympics! and (i even put this on my list and then changed it for something else) i don't really care to watch sports on tv but like going to games. i was also a prenursing major at byu until i took organic chemistry. i could go on...
i love your conversion story. that is awesome.
Jenny, I'm a Mtn View toro, too. Graduated 1992. Very cool...oh, the things you discover in blog world.
I'm so loving these lists! I'm feeling inspired to do mine, but fear that mine will just seem like a compilation of everyone else's. Thanks for sharing!
Clean and organized are different. Thank you! I had a friend in high school call me anal retentive (not without just cause).
Rollercoasters have nothing to do with heights. Ferris wheels are scary. I want to run a triathlon too. Soon, hopefully.
SO fun to learn more about you! It cracks me up that you smell the back of your hand! I had to smell mine, too, when I read this about you! I love my in-laws, too. Aren't we lucky girls to have such great ones? DO the triathlon, Jenny! You would rock that sort of thing! Go for it! I love the picture of your pantry. Please come get mine to look like that!
You're wonderful, Jenny!
