100th Post


Well, here it is. Trumpets, please. Da da dadaaaaa! My 100th post. And along with it, the blogdom tradition of 100 things about me. Is there actually 100 things about me? I'm a pretty simple gal. Oh, there's one I'll use. Will you actually sit thru a listing of 100 things? I'm starting to sweat already and I haven't even begun. But I'll grab this bull by the horns, or rather this post by keyboard?, and give it my best shot. I'm always up for a challenge! Gulp!

#20 - that would be EVERY instrument!

I love your list! I'll be here for your 200th post! (And the other in between, of course.)

Girl Raised in the South said...

I truly enjoyed your list! Made me want to buy you a coffee and go to the bookstore with you. Seriously. I'm goofy in that I cry at the national anthem, then look around hoping others are so I dont feel like a complete dork. Honestly sounds like we're quite a bit alike. Fun, fun post. xoxoxo

Laura said...

Susanne that was awesome!! Seriously well done. My 100th is coming up but I have no idea if I'd be able to do something like this. I'm sure it would take me FOREVER. Have a great day! Laura

Laura said...

Oh and thanks for the bouquet. Stargazer lillies are my favorite! :) Laura

Heather Smith said...

Great post! I already knew you were an awesome person, great to learn more about you! Oh, and that bouquet has one of my favorite flowers! Just gorgeous!

Shalee said...

What a great 100! I am so happy that you finally got into this blogging thing, even if your sweet man isn't sure about it all. And the great thing about reading it is that it reminds me again (as if I needed reminders) why I love you so much! You are my kind of friend, and you can get silly with me anytime you want. Hopefully we will be able to laugh in the same room some day...

!

Katrina @ Callapidder Days said...

Wonderful 100! And that daughter of yours most definitely deserves a little DQ today. :)

Barbie @ Mamaology said...

Fun to get to know you a little better.... great job:)

I loved reading that!

PastormacsAnn said...

No problem making it through your 100 - you made it easy. My response to many - "Me too!"

Great 100!

Islandsparrow said...

I read every one! It's fun to get to know you better - you and I are the same when it come to books and movies and cooking and music. Congrats on reaching 100!

rena said...

Great 100...congratulations on reaching 100...I passed mine several posts ago and didn't even realize it.

So, why do you have to wear water proof mascara? Cause you cry when you laugh, or ?? jus curious, though it's none of my business anyway!

Thanks for the help on the beta blogger commenting..I'll give that a try later tonight..right now I have to go get new tires..but was sneaking a peak before I left.

Later!

FreddieGirl said...

Congratulations on reaching your 100th...from a fellow Canuck. Loved your list!

Anonymous said...

Great list, especially the last 8! How awesome that your daughter thinks you're awesome. We have several things in common, but that isn't one of them. LOL. Neither is the mascara - I can't wear it at all, waterproof or not. I do laugh til I cry, and I cry at the national anthem, certain hymns, and praise songs.

Enjoyed learning more about you!

Kari said...

Congratulations on a post, um I mean, job well done! 100 big ones! Thank goodness I have a ways to go... 100 things about me would be a very long and boring posting for sure!!! And #70? Like there are OTHER channels besides that one? Really? I didn't know that! I tell you, Rachel Ray's $40 bucks a day came in handy for us this week in New Mexico... and you should have seen us critique all the places we did go! Hah! I'll be catching up on reading this weekend, but wanted to send my congrats on to you!

Donnetta said...

Congrats on your 100!! I am so thrilled to have received flowers today!! (of course I read all 100... are you kidding? It's always fun to learn more about you!!) We have so much in common!!Thanks!! :-)

You know, we really need to do something about #51 and get you out here to the West Coast!!! Just say when! :-)

Kate said...

OK, I don't know what happened to my comment... Blooger is having a mood swing. Anyway...
I love your list! Especially #67 - you rock! I LIKE you! ;-) I've been told by many we're prudes since we are careful what we watch and only rent movies from cleanfilms.com. But that's ok.
Love your list. You're my kinda girl!

Shawna said...

YOU DID IT, Susanne! Yay for you! I enjoyed reading each and every one of them, learning more about you. Yep, I was right. You are pretty special. I share your love of books, so I knew exactly what you were talking about. I'd love to have you come down to my neck of the woods! On a side note, that picture is perfect! You always have the best pictures. I love that. And what a sweet girl you have.

Addie said...

LOVED reading that list Susanne! We have a lot in common, and you seem so much more three dimensional to me now! (does that make sense?) Anyway, I loved it!

Hen Jen said...

Wow Susanne, congratulations on your 100! Great list, I think that would be hard to do...saw a few I identified with, big time procastinator, love books, love the smell of books. (worked in a bible bookstore, loved the smell of the leather!) and I wear Coco Chanel. I enjoyed your list,
blessings today,
Jenny

Katherine@Raising Five said...

Congratulations! Totally with you on the anthem, the confrontation thing, rehearsing, being a prude, and vacuuming. Is there such a thing as being faithful to a fault? You are such a neat person. I'm so glad I get to be a part of your life - even if it's over wireless internet!
