How wonderful to get to know you better! Congratulations on your 100th post!!

I am slightly jealous that you are one of those people who can fall asleep easily (it takes me for.ev.er), but I guess I’ll let it go since you share my appreciation for chocolate and my lack of appreciation for housework. :)

What a great list! That was awesome – however I noticed that you never said one thing about what great parents you have and what terrific siblings – maybe that will be on your 200th post!

Oh this is fun! CONGRATULATIONS! I loved hearing all about you! I laughed about the dancing and silly dancing. And you don’t travel well? Does that mean you get carsick or you just hate traveling?

Thanks for the Candyland reminder. Just before having children, we played it with friends, and boy was it never-ending! Whenever someone almost won, they got sent to a gooey candy swamp! We kept saying we couldn’t imagine little children playing without fighting, and wondered how we did. I’m going to get the game out & teach the boys! :>

Ok wow Laura,
I loved that. I can’t wait to do mine. We have so much in common. Mostly that I think I might leave my high school sweetheart husband if I ever met the Take Home Chef!!! Congrats. Since I am new to your blog it was nice to get to know you a little better.

I must say, I don’t know what Ketchup chips are…are they a kind of potato chip?

Oh, and let us know how you liked this week’s recipes. I’m curious about the chowder.

Okay,I’ll crawl out of the woodwork and say hi to congratulate you on your 100th post! I somehow came across your blog a couple of weeks ago and love it (I have visited everyday since). I seriously did not think there was another person in this world that liked to purge and organize like I do! :) I totally relate with your blog. Hope you keep it up!!!

Yo Yo BIG Sista! Love your list and your blog in general.
Too everyone out there I can vouch for my sister, her list is true and acurate – hey I would even say Laura dances like Elaine on Seinfield, but that’s only when she’s dancing seriously.
Love your anonymous brother…

I thank you all for your comments. I really enjoyed them…they so made my day!!!!!! Except of course for the one that says I dance like Elaine…don’t believe it for a second!!!!! He’s just jealous of my moves…lol.

Congratulations on 100 posts. I’m sure you’ll reach 200 in no time.

My husband and I would both tell you that our very favorite event when we watch the Olympics is the curling. And I’m a sucker for cooking magazines, too. Love them.

This is a great list. It was really fun to read all this about you.

Awesome list!! I’m glad to know of your comedic powers as well. Unleash them on us someday. And you really are a Candadian, eh? Ketchup potato chips? Curling? That list was fun to read.

Since you wish there were more pics of you, you should grace us all with a picture–put the face to the name and the organizing prowess.

Congrats on your 100th post! Sheesh, has it been that long already? You are a busy bee! I think you should have put “I deal well with large omnivores invading my back yard.” What poise! Have a great day from a fellow lefty – I’m hoping that if I hang around you long enough, you will open up the side of my brain that controls the organizing function!

41 Shalee October 5, 2006 at 2:56 pm

100 already! Oh what a fun list. And there were many things on the list that I kept saying “Me too!”

You and Susanne need to move to Kansas , so we can get into all sorts of trouble! (And so you can organize my life… come on, I’ll make it worth your while with all the biscuits and gravy, apple pie and games you could ever want.)

Hey, it was worth a shot.

Ok off to read your other 50…

This is a great website.

I am 7 months pregnant and I want to get my home organized before the baby arrives.
Since I live in downtown Honolulu, I can only afford a 1-bedroom apartment. But I am determined to keep it organized and set an example that my child could follow.

Hi! Just leaving a comment because you asked. You are very organized! Your blog puts me to shame. :) A friend mentioned you so I came over to check it out.

I want to visit BC some day (random fact).

We were missionaries in Africa and now live in West Texas…
And I may try to organize my house this summer “with you” before school starts again. :( (sad for school).
Thanks for blogging!
