Two Lazy Dogs 
Yikes…great list.
I only made it to 50 before I got bored and quit. Will you scratch your pup on the head for me? Ya know that great spot right behind the ear…that’s the best spot for scratching.
Oh…it was pretty painful for me to get to 101. I’ll give both boys scratches for you. I always say that when my lab/golden mix dies I want to save his ears…they are like velvet! That’s kinda morbid, isn’t it?!?
#26 .. the daughter clone. Oh yes, I know exactly what you mean. My girl, 9, almost like she was taken right outta my ass .. it’s scary the way she is so like me.
Scary, isn’t it? I’m bracing myself for those teen years – I know I’m going to have my frickin’ hands full! I was a BAD girl when I was young and I’m sure my parents are just getting ready to sit back, watch and laugh as their granddaughter turns into a little hellion just like her Mommy!
#92 – Thats my dream…I want to own a small coffeeshop someplace someday, once I’ve made my millions….:)
I love the “100 things” challenges….I did one awhile back (it’s one of my blogs on here) and challenged my friends to do the same….think I need to update mine…hmmm, I’m all inspired now….:)
Yeah, the coffeeshop was great fun but tons of work and the small town I live in just wasn’t ready (or willing) to support such an endeavor. The 101 things was a challenge for me but I did it…and I update every few days – see, I AM fickle!!
I like your 101 things about you. I want to do one of these. Doing it is another thing. #19, I don’t get it. I’m strangely attempted to do 101 things just for you, as a comparison, but I’m way too lazy. I read the stuff, and it’s like, #33 you don’t like monkeys, I do. Ok, that’s enough. See! Anyway, I’m tired and going to bed, but I’ll be back to check your blog out some more. FYI, I’m here via Red’s blog. Later. 😉
Oh…come on, DO IT for me! I’m lazy and I DID it! You don’t get #19??…you know, when people spell things incorrectly or “cutesy” so they alliterate??? And I probably should put an addendum in about the monkey bit – I don’t hate ALL monkeys…just the little creepy ones – ya know, the organ grinder, smiley, creepy ones?!!? I do like chimps.
Ok, after a bit more sleep and a second look #19 makes perfect sense to me. Still, the little monkeys are the best. The littler the better. Have you seen those super tiny little monkeys that can wrap their arms around your finger? I call them finger monkeys, because I’m crafty like that. 😉
Good, I’m glad you get it.
Crafty, indeed. Ummm, no, I haven’t seen finger monkeys – are you makin’ that up? Do they have evil little grins? I think that stupid movie “Monkey Shines” did me in – I’ll never look at a monkey the same again.
Finger monkey:
Enjoy. 🙂
Thanks, but, nope, doesn’t do it for me! It still looks creepy. Right now I’m thinking the smaller, the creepier! 😛
“I blame it on the boobage”. I *heart* your blog, I love to laugh, maybe that’s why I keep coming back! You are funny! “I will probably pinch you” – you are a pincher, huh? I’ll have to try that, ha! ha! ha! Thank you for sharing your wonderful list!
Thanks so much! I’m glad you enjoy it. Yep, I’m a pincher – you should try it, it’s very satisfying! hahaha! I enjoy your blog also…have just been so busy I haven’t been able to catch up on my reading…but I promise I’ll visit soon!
Who was # 14????
Mel. We were at Old Main, highly intoxicated. Funny, huh?
What are the guidelines for making this list? Can you tell that I am the type that need directions to follow?
Here are some questions/comments
I didn’t know about Bono holding your hand!!! Wowie Wow Wow (junie b!) What song?
I can’t believe that you have never gotten a ticket! Lucky girl!
What is 47?
I never knew that about your grandparents and the gun! What side of the family?
AND I love rice pudding! Can you bring it to girl’s night out? 😉
No guidelines – just random stuff.
Yep…Bono – I believe the song was “Gloria” (remember it was the “War” tour…a long, long time ago!)
Nope – never got a ticket.
#47 – someone who isn’t enthralled with famous folk (you know, not gonna stalk them for an autograph, etc.)
Maternal Great Grandparents- My Grandpa’s mother was shot and killed.
Rice pudding and beer? For tomorrow eve??
Mel!?! Wow! Did she get mad at you?
Yep, Mel! No, she INSISTED that I do it and cheered me on. And it wasn’t just a peck – it was a full on passionate kiss. Weirdo.
Holy shit, your header is AWESOME! Did you draw that?
Why, thanks! Yep…done by your’s truly. I was a bit leery about using it – kinda makes my place look childlike. Heh. I guess that’s good for luring the young men. (but not THAT young!) 😀
I’m getting the hang of the Paint thingy…I find that the more wine I drink, the better the result. Ha!
I think I love you!
Wow, thanks. Are you quoting the Partridge Family or did you come up with that all on your own? How about I send you my 1001 list and then you can decide??
I’ve been all over this blog tonight– I love it (the list is fantastic too)!
Hi Moonbeam,
Thanks so much for stopping by. Glad you enjoyed your visit…and thanks for the comment! I need to spend more time over at your blog and shall do so very soon.
I’m a little frightened [in a good way] of how many similarities there are between your 101 and my 101 [if I actually got off my lazy ass and wrote one].
Consider yourself blogrolled as well, my dear! Funny stuff!
What a list.
There’s everything.
Very open.
Hi c,
Thanks for stopping by. I believe I’ve seen you over at Writer Chick’s and shall be stopping by your place in a bit.
Yes, a little bit of this peppered with a little bit of that. I have a hard time keeping things inside so I just let it all pour forth.
OK, I just paid your “100 things” list a visit (where have I been?) and I now realize more than ever why I like you so much… We’re so much alike!
But you are much funnier!!! Great job!
Hey Trisha,
So glad you paid my list a visit. I had a feeling we were very similar! But me…funnier? I don’t think so!
Duh….. “101 things”!
This does not count as all women are this way… “I’m very fickle – I change my mind constantly.”…
It would be like a guy saying “I like to drink beer”
Aww…it doesn’t count? Well, then I should just change it to “I like to drink beer”…oh wait, I’ve already listed that one!!
Well, it’s pretty apparent I am super late in commenting on your list but….”wow, what a great list,” all the same. I have been trying my darndest to get one done but, it’s been like, three weeks already and I’m still only at number….er, fourteen, ha ha. Guess number fifteen could be “I am a slowpoke”, LOL. Ahhh well, I’ll get around to it, one of these days (or should I say…one of these years? hee hee).
As for you fab list, 41 (always feeling rushed), 42 (love to cook but screw measuring ingredients), 48 (flirtatious personality = trouble, lol), 56 (love of facial hair) and 99 (loss of teeth nightmares) are “me” all over again. As for your number 62 (poor posture due to boobage)…hell, if only I had the boobage to blame my poor posture on I’d be a happy camper, ha ha. Geez, after having my two kiddies…..all I have left are two little mosquito bites, lol.
Thanks, missfied. Oh, believe me, it took me longer than a day to put together this baby. It’s quite hard thinking of 101 random things about yourself. But, since I’ve put together the list it seems I have no problem thinking of MORE things to add! Looking forward to reading your list!
