100 Things You Don't Really Need to Know About Me!

26.This is a short story I dictated for my mom to write when I was 4 years old. "There was once this man and he was poor. He was sad and lonely. But one thing he couldn't wait until his wife could have a baby. And one more thing, he couldn't wait. It was a boy and he was so happy about that and he wasn't poor anymore.

Holy Freaking Cow!!!
Boy did I learn a lot and remember a lot about you. I think I had a comment on almost everything you said. So one, time I'll write them all down for you via email. I don't think i could come up with so many things that are interesting. Fun post!!

Mommas said...

A dead frog for Mother's Day!? I think I prefer my digital camera, thank you. Angie, you are so wonderful. I am so glad Richie married you. Oh, and by the way, after the initial "learning how", breast feeding is the best. Thank you for the new blog. I love reading them.

jeanine said...

Wow! That was a fun post! I learned a ton about you! The dead frog for mother's day was classic. I didn't know you ran hurdles... I did too. Breastfeeding isn't so bad either. And I had no idea that Richie was so much younger than you! Way to rob the cradle. And I'm so with you... I hate loud breathers--even when they are sleeping!

Rachel said...

That was really fun Angie! I've read a few people's 100 Things lately that were NOT fun to read (not you Ryan, that was fun too.) Good job! I think the nose thing is funny. I also enjoyed the story of your dead mother's day gift! I'm glad I know you, and now I know you better!

Maria said...

Wow, 100 things! I am impressed! I wouldn't know where to start:) It was fun reading them!

Beth said...

Wow Angie, you did it! I'm very impressed and they aren't boring at all! Lots of them made me laugh! How fun.

Devo said...

Amazing! I think the story you wrote when you were four was my favorite. Now it's Richie's turn!

Tara said...

YAY! it is about time you blogged sister! I was getting worried there for a while.

Anyway I loved your list and I love you! You are so hilarious. I remember how you would tell me that when you slept next to your sister you would smack her every time she moved or breathed too loud.

Breastfeeding does seem kind of weird at first, but once I got the hang of it (which took me FOREVER) it is easy and kind of a bonding experience. But don't feel pressured! Just do what feels right to you. That's my lil spiel. you are going to be such a great momma!

Eldredge's said...

That was very entertaining. I learned a lot about you.

Kate said...

I laughed several times... it was fun to learn more about you and remember other things from the good ol' days! I agree about no pets and the crying over kids and people I love. You are funny about the nose thing. Oh, black licorice makes me sick too, yuck! :)

The Roberts Rollercoaster RIde said...

You and your hubby are totally funny. WHO KNEW!! ;) It floors me that he didn't think he'd marry a white girl. Little did he know you were so hot!! ;)
