You are funny!

I took a sixteen year break from DOOL (watched it in high school and college and then picked it up again when I became a SAHM at 38) and most of the cast was still there! So here is my prediction about Nicole; she will fake the rest of her pregnancy and then try to steal Sammy's baby and pass it off as her own. Don't you think?

I don't like you...I LOVE you! You are so funny and real. I miss you so much!

Happy 100th and I hope you had a great Thanksgiving, it looks like you did. I LOVE your 101 things about you, it'a amazing how many things that are the same for me. Although I kind of like Brad & Angelina, I guess. I also have 1 small tatoo, I set my clock 12 minutes early, I have no idea what is going on in the world and don't care, I only failed my drivers test once, ha ha, and I LOVE LISTS. I Love them. Sometimes I put things down on a list that I've already done just so I can cross them off. I'm glad I'm not the only crazy one, I knew I wasn't. HAPPY 100TH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

I don't usually comment because you know I read your blog. A few things though, number 39, didn't you break your finger during a hockey game your senior year? number 47, I knew you'd come around about the Beatles. The greatest? No doubt about it! Number 52, I said you were the funniest kid in a family of kids that make me laugh a lot. We know who the funniest in the family is. I think I did very well not to point out spelling errors. (that's my problem, not yours.) I didn't mean to make this so long. I should have just written you an email. Congrats on your 100th. I love you. Peace.
