Listen girl..seriously, you are NOT boring! I found this to be totally entertaining and fun to read. I keep thinking of doing it but I'm scared I won't be able to think of 100 things to write down.
P.S. I hate hate HATE spiders too and I have a super yummy easy banana bread recipe that I use ALL the time for ya! (I'll post it on WKTGS)

Wow Julie there are more things about you that I didn't know. I have a good banana bread recipe if you would like it let me know. I also know all about the cub scout badges to put on I just found some stuff at the scout office that really works well.
You are NOT boring! I loved reading all of it! DVR IS the BEST invention ever and spiders are DISGUSTING!! I could comment on more but those two stick out without me having to go back through. :) Wait.. the one about answering "yes" to moving back to Utah... I am right there with you, of course!
That was a great read...how long did it take you? I think I'll do it just so I can see if there are 100 interesting things about me!
When did you find the time with 4 children and moving to come up with 100 things about yourself?...you truly are Wonderwoman aren't you!
As for your question about any good books:
Have you read Emily Griffin's novels?...I can't put her books down! "Something Borrowed", "Something Blue", "Baby Proof". And she has a new one that I saw at Costco yesterday...I can't remember the title but I do remember that it was green:) Happy Reading!
11. Most of the people in my ward in Plainfield didn't like me, even though they acted like they did.
*note: I was not one of those people.
also, this post exhausted me.
I have done drive-bys. I have great stalking capabilities. I'm sure I will explore new avenues of stalking at the y.
P.s. 27 days!
You always make me laugh! I loved the list...
How did you have time to write all this?!!! This is the first time since my last post that I've even been on ehte blogs! I don't seem to have enough time to do everything in a day!!!!
Julie - of all the blogs, for some reason I actually sat to read your 100...and was thoroughly entertained. I could comment on so many, but I won't. I will say that I agree with your sugar cookies. Angie gave me the receipe and I think on average I eat about 80% just by myself. I've had to limit myself to only making them on Valentines Day. And agreed with Christian Bale. He is the one actor I have professed obsession to my husband about.
I can't wait for the common sense parenting book, I will buy it! Didn't know you saw Bill Pullman at the airport, you also saw Justin Long at the airport, benember? I will hike Timp with you! I know I had more things to say, but I can't benember!
Yup - I stalk your blog and I bet you would love to know that my most embarassing moment was when you pulled down my gym shorts in junior high. I'm sure you're a much nicer person now though ;)
Interesting that "my anniversary is in a week" and "I want a piano" are so close in number.
Julie Jean you are so funny- love this list!
P.S. I hope it wasn't a secret of mine that you told!
P.S.S. Everyone in Illinois hates me except Phil Vasser!
I love reading these things! You are NOT boring. I had the hardest time thinking of 100 things about me, but I love reading everyone elses. I'm with you on the common sense parenting!
Love the 100 post so I am going to have to copy it. Is that ok with you? Great meeting you last night.
Talk to you soon
love Jenn your blog stalker
