My sister Amanda challenged her blog readers to write 100 things about themselves. I've seen other people do this and I've enjoyed reading their lists. I decided to try it myself. I know it's a slightly vain thing to do, but I was curious to see if I could actually list 100 things about myself.
Did you make it through all 100 things? Do we have anything in common? Were there things that surprised you?

Um, you are a perfectionist Laura! See #6 and #17 -they contradict each other! hee hee. I also wear my watch on my right hand although I am actually right handed. Loved your list- so very fun. I learned a lot about you! Hope school is fun this year for you.
I wear my watch on my right hand too!
lar you are awesome, i pretty much knew all of those things about you. of course there were some funny things i didn't know. like you have bad dreams when you sleep on your back, you are so cute!
lera i love it all. i love all 100 things about you, and could probably think of 100 more. you are a special sis and i love you!
# 70 and #73 are awesome.... as is the rest of you.. You're fabulous! I think everyone should do 100 things about themselves- i love reading them too.
It's hard to pick which things to comment about. I think I might have something to say for each thing you wrote. Love the fat chicken and checking to make sure that school is out.
Love ya, and I hope you love me too considering my bad habit of interrupting people :)
love that the Hills was #1. Loved the comment about havng your mom drive you to school on vacation days... I love the 100 things. You think you're vain I could have done 200. :)
I hate running with an ipod too! I feel so disconnected. I think my favorite is having your mom check on the school on holidays - that I would never do - but I love that you did.
p.s. I think your husband got totally hooked up. i.e. you are a dedicated excersizer, plan meals for the whole week, AND like to save money
Now I know 100 more things about Laura (some I already knew) but thanks for sharing! When are we going to get together?
Loved your list! Brought back some fun memories. In fact, I have been working on my own, but not for posting.
Love that you did this. It's not vain, it just may appear so to other people who don't get it. :)
We have several things in common: #5, 17, 18, 19, 23, 24, 25, 28, 29 and 42...then I couldn't write more down.
I NEVER knew you made Mom drive by the school. You are so funny.
You will be a great Mom.
Laura,
You're good enough.
You're smart enough.
And dog gonnit people like you!
i totally loved your list! i am wearing an orange shirt right now because it's my fav too! um, you are an amazing runner and i know that you will run in numerous marathons!!!
Very fun! I'm not sure i could do this! I'll have to try, but I feel like I'm behind in my posts so it may have to wait until I have a lull. I'm so sad to hear that you are over blogging...I still love it. When you talked about the every-other-day hair washing it made me wonder if you wear shower caps...and then you said sometimes you do. Shower caps crack me up!
You are so funny! I loved reading your list. Thanks for sharing. :)
I loved reading this list. My favorite one was, I would rather have all boys than all girls. Probably because I am only going to have all girls and I often wish they were boys.
So fun to read...you crack me up. I too have a sick obsession with the Hill but haven't been able to watch one episode this season. BOO.
Lets go running next week. Hopefully Ill be over my lazy phase:)
I did it! I started my blog, you blogger you. I had a wonderful time seeing you tonight at dinner. Isn't it nice to see how many people love you and miss you! Come back soon, the Garneau home is always open to you and Mike.
Silly me, I forgot to leave my link for you:
