I LOVE Muriel's Wedding!!!
#86 Oh my God!!! How terrifying. I feel so sad and helpless reading news stories of children/teens who get abducted and are never found. Thank God you weren't taken.
99 things that make you so wonderful
lol I've seen Muriels Wedding!
I saw Muriel's Wedding, and I LOVE IT. I wish Toni Collette had stayed chunky. She was much cuter then!
Thanks for sharing. We have a few things in common!
You're gorgeous. And I've seen Muriel's Wedding about, oh, 18, 19 times! It's one of my all time favourites too and it made me view friends and relationships and goals in a different way. Great list.
that was fun - thx :)
Been a while since I visited. A good time to do so. You sound like a very interesting person who has things together even if sometimes you don't think so.
THat was awesome !!!!
I love you even more then I already did:)
I love lists, especially when they are so open. I think I am going to steal this idea from you, I mean borrow.:P
There are so many things here that we share. Like feet, I hate for most people to touch my feet.
That was a really good list :)!
Oh we have some things in common, and lots of things not in common.
Like I wear socks all the time, even in the summer, because my feet are always cold.
Glad to learn all about you.
:)
#86..You had your Guardian Angel working overtime on that one! When I was reading that I had a flashback of when I was 19 living in Seattle and almost got in a car with three guys I just met. They wanted me to go to the coast with them. I almost did, but an inner voice said NO!! I got a weird feeling and fled like heck. They tried to chase me down and I heard one of them say forget her!
(I was soooo naive in those days)!
Thanks for the 99!! That was fun reading!
I have never heard of Muriels wedding? Any way hey girl, I saw you over at Phillis place and droped by to see you. Have a great weekend!
I've never seen Muriel's Wedding. But now I want to.
Number 86 kinda bothers me. Cause it means God wasn't watching all the children there were abducted. Which is a really scary thought.
I feel like there's some real insight into you in this post.
I love all of those things about you, dear Barbara. Great list! HUGS...
Have a wonderful weekend.
Now, I so want to see Muriel's Wedding again. What a great movie!
What's the scoop on the accountant?
Great 99!
Great list, I love cats too and im single. Life is good. maybe I can make a list about me as well.
Impressive list. you seem like a very interesting person! glad i stumbled upon your blog.
Great list!.
It's funny that I was going to comment on Muriel's Wedding but so many others already have. I guess I'll have to see it again because it didn't have an impact on me one way or the other.
The list is excellent! I was going to do an updated one myself! Great minds!
It was nice to learn all about you!
Well, you were right with me, I have never seen Muriel's Wedding either, but it's now on my list! :)
