7. When Kate throws her arms around my neck and says, "I love you, Mommy!"

59. Those cherry-pineapple popsicles that are crowding out my otherwise-neatly-organized freezer

62. Fireflies
63. HGTV
64. Kraft Food & Family magazine
65. DC drivers (no I'm not just checking to see if you're still awake - but by the way, are you? - I really think that despite the bad rap drivers of any locale always get, drivers here are more or less pretty responsible. I witnessed what could have been a HUGE rush-hour accident today, and all the drivers worked it out without even one horn honk. I have never even seen one middle finger since moving here. Seriously. Even with my asinine driving skills.)

13 sweet nothings:
You are so awesome!!! I love your number 31! I like it super HOT and on a trampoline or by the pool.
That sounds pretty DIRTY HU?? Its true though. I also like it when its like 110 and i get in my car after its been sitting in the sun all day with out turning on the AC to drive. After being in a cold building all day.... theres just something about that!
All I can say is balancing my checkbook is WAY below diamonds on my list of things I like. Thank goodness this was in no particular order...
You are awesome! My kids still have elaborate 100th day celebrations. I say we load our purses with some of your extra popsicles and Cadbury mini-eggs and run down to the almost-dollar theater and watch a movie barefoot! And then we can stop by the super walmart that is down the street (Frederick is where it's all at!!)
I read the whole list and I'm glad I did. Knowing little tid bits like this about people is fun. You helped remind me of stuff I love too.
Love the pic of you and friends (?) at EFY (?) I've got to get the info behind that photo!!! Brooklyn is adorable. So fun to see her as a grown baby vs. a newborn.
Congratulations on your 100th post!!!! This was AMAZING!!!! It would definitely take me some serious thinking to come up with my 100 favorite things! I almost want to do it, just to see if I can! I loved reading yours!! Gave me new incite into the life of Krista Lundell! :)
Please do! I'd love to hear all the things you all love - I challenge everyone to their own "Top 100" post. Or at least, like, top 40. I've seen so many posts of "complaints" or "pet peeves" or "grievances" that I thought I'd take it the other way!
Oh and for Jen - those are my friends from growing up, and we are at one of my friends' houses in Utah, and let's just say the info behind that picture is classified. (That's code for I can't really remember what the heck we were doing.)
On the 100th day of school, my mom & her kindergarten class dresses us like old men & women!
Man, you & your friends are weird. I'm glad I don't know any of them or had my picture taken like that. *Ahem.* Oh, and I do remember the story behind that pic! It was my 18th birthday, which was on a Sunday (which is why you're all dressed up.) You guys came to my house after church & we had dinner & cake & took a bunch of funny pictures. I still have all of them. I should email you guys copies... if you promise not to post them! :)
I loved your list, by the way! I think I will take your challenge write my own too.
I meant "dress UP" above. Nobody dresses me up. :)
YAY I would love those pictures!!! I promise not to post any more. Sorry.
So...is skinny dipping a current or past love? As I was reading through your list I probably stopped like 5 times to go look at the things you linked to, or get Matt's attention to tell him. We had a good laugh about your #47. Those were the assignments teachers would give that I would IMAGINE myself there and then read the shortest poem possible. I have to admit, I've never been a fan of poems, Othello, or Shakespeare (I hope we can still be friends). And I can't believe you love DC drivers, oh my. ON THE OTHER HAND, I LOVE HGTV (Matt thinks I'm crazy and obsessed), cereal (we currently have 19 boxes in my food storage and I plan on getting more very soon), and icecream. I'll start my 100 love list, that was fun to read.
Oh- and the beach at night scares me to DEATH. For some reason I can't help but think about the movie/book JAWS when I'm at the beach at night, and the waves crashing on the beach seem to be extra loud during that time. You're braver than I when it comes to this subject.
I beat you Doreen - 35 boxes of cereal. And skinny-dipping would still be a current one, but I haven't been in a long time. Also I don't like poetry either... it was one of those roll-your-eyes assignments that turned out not so bad. And thanks for ruining the beach at night for me - now I know what I'll be thinking about next time! Oops this is Krista, not Travis. Travis has never been skinny-dipping. I don't think.
