MY 100TH POST!!!





Thanks for all your great suggestions for this post!

I loved all your ideas.

I especially loved sharing my 100 favorite photos or photos of 100 of my favorite things.

Fabulous idea.

Have you ever tried to upload more than 4 photos on blogger?

Exactly.

That my friends is. not. happening.

I also loved the idea of a 10x 10.

Ten things about ten different subjects.

Another great idea.

I had a hard time coming up with the subjects.

Pathetic...I know.

So...I am going with 100 random things about me.

I know what you are thinking.

There is more?

What hasn't she told us about herself?

Bear with me.

Before I begin, I want to Congratulate my friend, Dana over at Supernanny, Where Are You?

Today is her 100th post also.

You will love her!

One of my many favorite things about you that you omitted was:

You love to bake things in odd numbers, three's, five's so that you can share them with friends in need like me! Your bloggers should know that you have a generosity gene that is rarely seen these days. One day maybe I'll learn your secret for being able to squeeze one more thing like that into your oh-so-busy days.

Happy vacation to all!

Love,
Snowbird

Ashley said...

We're going to miss you! Do you have any more Christmas surprises up your sleeves? Have a great time!

Carol said...

You're going on vacation and only just mentioned it? Does that mean more random Christmassy posts?

Loved your 100. Though I am slightly baffled as to how I got to 100 before you. Clearly my addiction is worse than I actually imagined.

Emily Lauren said...

Wendi-
I'm Leah's friend. I love your blog. I look at it all the time. Your 100th post was great.

Happy 100th, Wendi! I loved learning all of these things about you! We have a lot in common.
And ya know what? Your house sounds like so much fun!!

Cecily R said...

You and I are kindred spirits in so many ways...through so much of this I was nodding my head, agreeing.

The sitemeter thing made me laugh. I was the same way. Then one day for some weird reason, it just disappeared from my blog. I still haven't figured out how. I never put it back. Its better for me that way.

Oh, and LOVE your new look! Fabulous!

Amy said...

Happy 100th!! Wow, I've got some catching up to do! I never realized that you and I were so much alike. As I was reading, I kept thinking, "Yes, this is me, yes, yes, I do that, too..." Great minds think alike, huh!? Have a great vacation. I'm jealous...
