And all this time I thought we could get along...but you are a GATOR fan!?!?!? OH MY, WHY!?!?! (and going to school there is NOT an excuse! HA!) After we left Carol City, we moved within 35 miles of U of F but I am a SEMINOLE ALL THE WAY! You have to be! Bobby Bowden is the Best! :-)

Oh well we all have our faults and I guess we have to just agree to disagree on this one. After all you guys are the reigning champs. Phoeey!

Bees are worse than snakes. I don't want to be in a room with a bee or a wasp.

Have you ever tried a Banana, Cheese, and Mayo Sandwhich...yum!!!

Thanks for lots of smile in this list.

It was so fun reading you 100 things list.
I can identify with some of them....i am also a survivor of sexual abuse - I fear there are many of us. I also am Terrified of snakes - gives me the heebie geebies just to see one on tv.
I know where Snellville, GA is -- I am a GA girl myself - I grew up on Lookout Mtn. GA in a community known as New Salem....
Lastly - I would be very interested in hearing how you got your Christian Counceling Certificate as this is where I feel more and more that they Lord is leading me to do!

What a hoot!!! We love Florida...and are travelling almost 1500 miles to Destin this summer (I'm a nut, I know! But that's my place!!). Our dear friends, the Fergusons, served at a Presbyterian church in Pensacola. They're now missionaries in Peru.

Have a wonderful week!
Love in Him,

Connie,
I found your blog via Dori's blog. She and go way back and God allowed us to reconnect after 20 plus years! Anyway, I love your blog. When I read about your daughter bringing you red hearts, I was touched! I have been divorced for 10 years and haven't remarried. I loved reading 100 things about you!! I agree with Leigh, the Try Me perfume is sooo funny!! I think I will try the 100 things or maybe I will shorten it, on my blog. Have a great weekend!!

Connie,
I just realized something, you said you are a die hard Gator fan!!!! Hmmm, I am a die hard VOL fan!! Oh my, a Gator and a Vol together, this could get ugly. LOL!! Well, maybe one year my sweet little Vols will beat the Gators! :o) Not holding my breath!

Patty said...

LOL!! I loved what you wrote on my blog. Now, I will confess if you do!! lol!! Let me tell you this, you will appreciate this, a few years ago I went to Houston for the weekend. In my absence, a fellow youth leader decided to get me back because I took the youth group to his house and we rolled his yard, car, etc... and took pictures. The funny thing was he was asleep on the couch and never heard us. Anyway, he wanted to get me back, he and a few of the youth, they took down ALL my U.T. stuff and I have alot and hid it and replaced it with Gator stuff, everywhere!! They got the gator stuff from a former youth pastor who is a Gator Nut!! They even took my U.T. flag down and replaced it with Gator, yuk!! My neighbor got mad at me because he thought I had converted. (no joke). I came home and I thought I was going to die!! I had a concrete pig(mom's day present, years ago) I painted it orange and white, they hid it and replaced it with a plastic gator. It was so funny!!!! They put a gator bandana on my dog!!! I have pictures!!! They got me good.
