Thanks for posting this, Megan. You are a wonderful person.
You Rock! I love lists like this. I think you are amazing!
Wow! I thought the 25 random list was a lot, but 101 that's quite a list! See I love to put exclamation points everywhere too! My husband teases me about that. I am right there with you on the weight thing. It can be so depressing. Well, I think you are a great person and I learned a lot about you by reading this list. Thanks for sharing.
As for #75, I would say more like intimidated. And you don't understand because you don't see yourself the way others do! You're amazing!!
Personally, I'm not much of a lists person. I generally have just one thing on my list. "Go about doing good." It seems to simplfy life and at the same time covers all the bases. When I use my time fully doing what I know I should, I don't have time to make lists. Someone once used two big words to charcterize my life style: "Seredipidous Synchronicity". Essentially that means: "Come what may and make it all fit together for good." Another way to say it is: "Improve the shining moments. Don't let them pass you by."
Your list is great Megan!!! You forgot to put that
*you make your friend Angie laugh so hard
*that you are the most selfless person that gives gives and GIVES...
*you go out of your way to make sure everyone is loved and feels welcome
I LOVE these lists and think we should all do them once a year....you really get to love and appreciate people more. We all care of course what other people think and say about us but I think we would be less judgemental of each other once we read what we are really like not just what we perceive each other to be. Does that make any sense?
In other word I LOVE you and everyone I know does too becuase of all these 100 things and many more reasons......
Wow, what a list Megan!! you're a great person. i read down a few posts too. Looks like your family is doing good and growing up. Science fair projects looked great. i did so many of those as a kid- even though they weren't mandatory. I always loved doing the science fair. If I had boys I'd have them read those Wimpy kid books too. They look great. Glad Garrett is enthrawled in them that he can't put them down. I can't wait until Kayla is like that with a book. She's like that when I read her a chapter book but I have to force her to read on her own. Hopefully when she's a better reader she'll be more confident about reading herself. Glad you guys are doing well.

Thanks to those of you who were kind to me about my long list.:)
I like you want to be in musicals, we will invite you over when we have a girls night and watch/reinact HM3. We do it ever so often and have a great time.

that was way awesome!! except you kinda put yourself down a little, i think, you are a great not-mom, megan!!
Well,
here is a guy who made it through all 101 random things. I kind of knew a lot of them already.
