Almost done! 61-80
- I would love to have a yard. (we have next to nothing)
- I love strawberry and spinach salad.
- I love pens….my current favorite (for 3 years or so) is the set I get at Staples…. Sarasa bold.
- I am a fontaholic, can’t have enough of them on my computer.
- Sometimes I flip through a book to find out if someone dies. It doesn’t ruin the book for me most of the time…I hate the suspense of not knowing.
- I’m a sucker for presentation when shopping. I will love the way something is packaged and have to walk around with it for awhile to ask myself if I really like the item or if I like the way it is packaged.
- I do not like profanity.
- I have to eat Oreos the same way every time. Take it apart. Dip the side without the filling in milk, eat little bites. Then dip the other side in milk and repeat. Then go to the next cookie. I don’t get how people can eat the whole thing at once.
- I used to be the stilt champion in the neighborhood at my grandma’s house.
- I used to be the hula hoop champ in my own neighborhood.
- I used to have an inflatable hoop slip.
- When I got my one and only speeding ticket, I thanked the officer and went on. I was driving to see my then fiancé, now hubby, and it was a beautiful spring day and I was just happy. I still made the 3+ hour trip in a little more than 2 ½ hours.
- My friends used to call me Parnelli Jones. Now my kids think I drive like a grandma.
- I love Ravelry and spend too much time there. There is just so much information it’s hard to leave.
- High school was very painful for me.
- We have had 3 short-term exchange students from Japan. The first one became like a daughter to me and I am sad that we have kind of lost touch. I used to tell her…”I see the moon and the moon sees me. The moon sees someone I long to see.” That is the only thing that brought me comfort when she left. She has visited again 2 different times.
- I do not throw up.
- I love cherries.
- My grandpa used to serve coffee to my grandma and my sister and I in bed on Sunday mornings. I love this memory and my husband has brought me coffee in bed many times because of it.
- Did I say I have the best husband ever?

I’ve been enjoying your lists! I wish that I did not throw up…I don’t think I’ve never known anyone that didn’t do that.

Oh! Oh! Were we the only two people in the world who had inflatable hoop slips? I was just talking about it the other day. What I really wanted that year was a 10 layer, multi-colored crinoline, but instead I got the inflatable.
I used to sit on it in church and then squeeze the front over and over, making the back go squitch, squitch against the back of my legs…
Oh, thanks for the trip down memory lane!

I love the list sherri. Mine is done.
another inflatable slip…how did I miss that one? Remember the scratchy nylon ones…they were gathered in three layers and if you were lucky, you got the one with the three pastel colors…wowie…
