Wow, we have even more in common than I thought! I love your list and I loved learning more about you!

I bet if I looked at my list of 100 things, I'd probably have to change most of them!

You have a good Monday too!

I have a 100 things about me scrap book page...I should totally do a blog about this. ;)
This was a great way to get to know you better. Thanks for sharing.
I had to laugh, because I have a dial-up connection at home too! I get so much crap for it. Oh well! I only get on the computer to blog, and I pay next to nothing for internet.
Have a good week!

Hearing loss...that's a good card to play when your husband is upstairs yelling for help with a toddler/poop issue. Use it, honey. Lord knows my husband does...and he doesn't even have a hearing loss.

Amy said...

Wow... that is a lot of information all at once! I don't think I could come up with 100 things.

Ron and Jessica said...

Amy and Josh said...

There are some things I didn't know about you Kim, the whole talking on the phone thing is definitely one of mine too-and several others!

Marie Louise said...

What a great idea. I've just discovered your blog and now I know 200 hundred things about you! I'll be back!

Carlotta said...

I like to read this now that I know you better, =)

First of all I want to tell the world that your Portuguese is AMAZING!! I love to hear you speak it because it amazes me that you were able to learn is so well as an adult.

I think back to our breakfast "date" and how quiet you were. I am glad that I was privelaged to be one that you haven't stay shy with. I LOBE who you are!

Because you know what it is like to have your heart broken ( which BLOWS chunks ) Your heart is even bigger and you have more compassion for others.

You have a rockin husband and some of the best kids. I only say some because I have my own ;)

I look up to you and learn so much from you. Good thing we all have each other to learn from .

This is so cute ... I have to admit though, the whole time I was reading it, I kept think ... "Holy Cow ... I wonder how long it took her to write all of these." But that is just my strange mind working.
This is pretty cool. I might see if I can do this one day. Maybe when it is slow on a weekend at work.

Shan said...

wow. I don't think that I could come up with a hundred thing about myself....10 was hard enough. Very cool, it is good to get to know you better....again! You are so great Kimmie!

I am laughing because as I read your list again, the same two things jumped out at me. First, you hate knick knacks... ditto! Second, you abhor oreos!?!?! How could that be?!?! :)

Thanks for sharing this again!
