Tina,
Congratulations on your 100th post.
I enjoyed reading your 100 things about yourself. I don't know if I could think of 100 things about myself.
I really enjoy corresponding with your Mama.

Marci said...

Tina, I am laughing!!! I would LOVE to hear more about #78. Also, I would love to talk to you on the phone and hear your accent. I love a good Southern drawl.

You are a very interesting person.

Did you actually go back and count all your posts, or is that listed somewhere?

Clara....in TN said...

Oh Tina, I just read your 100 things. I'm so glad you did that. I printed it out and put it in my notebook. Wasn't that fun? I've heard people say. "OH . I can't think of 100 things", but after you start writing, they come to you. I could think of 100 more about myself. LOL I want to know about number 78 too.
And if you think YOU have a southern accent, you should talk to ME....LOL Just ask Marci, if you don't beleive me. I have talked to her on the phone. That's the first thing she said. " I love your accent".
I'm going back and read your 100 things again.

Tina, you are a lucky woman...you are with the man you love. I love my husband, but I do not enjoy him as you do yours. I hope this continues all your life. Many little pains killed some of my love. I still have love for my husband but it is not the flame that I see in your comments. I do envy you. I was once where you are.
Guess who
