I must add to numbers 70, 73, and 97. 70. Kristen you were escorted out of many a wrestling match for screaming wildly when I walked on the mat in my singlet. It seems that those alzheimer genes are kicking in (#73) or maybe just selective amnesia. Although, we have minimal grass here in Las Vegas. I will be soon conducting a "how-to-mow-the-lawn seminar" at our house. I wish I was around more too and I love you forever. Matt

I was at Johnny Bs with friends the night you got hypnotized. All I remember is that you thought you were Whitney Houston and you sang. Did you get a tape of that? Anyway, that was really fun to read - I had no idea you didn't lead music. I've always thought it was neat how you and Karen are so musically talented.

The Bischoff's said...

That totally reminded me of going to the Provo Temple right after church to find the missionaries! Or writing messages to them on the sidewalk with sidewalk chalk!! Fun times :)

And your mom was so awesome! What YW leader drives pass the house of the boy you like and honks like crazy? She always did fun stuff like that!

Megan said...

You are very interesting! My favorite is #76 because I have to do the EXACT same thing every night too!

Herrington's said...

I always order a bean burrito too! And I have to have lotion on my feet at night too or I am uncomfortable all night long. I'll have to think of 100 things about me but I'll put it up on my blog!

Cardalls said...

Love these things--it's fun finding out good stuff about friends!

Anne and Wayne said...

Shame on you for cheating in Algebra! No wonder you never got your YW medallion!!! But I was somewhat glad to read that you now realize that you should have earned it. I love you anyway.

camran said...

I was there for many of those #16's (thanks for the memories "chester"); I adamently agree with #17 (they were HOT - though I included your brother in that too!) I was envious of #39 - especially in the 1st grade! And I wholeheartedly agree with #80 - can't stand that stuff!!

I also have great memories of your mom driving us around and honking at the houses of cute boys - very fun! There was one time she was taking us to the mall and the left hand turn light turned green and your mom went halfway out into the intersection before she realized we were going straight and not turning! That was pretty dang funny! I remember the other drivers laughing too and you dying of embarrassment in the front seat!

FYI - we had a soccer game tonight and Kodi scored 3 goals! She's a rockstar! ;)

Rachael said...

Loved it. A few comments..
I would LOVE to be hypnotized. How great would it be to do something with weight loss and hypnotism!?!?!
I always wondered how the Today Show reacted with the WTC happening in real time. I was still asleep that morning.
What is FOIL? I cheated on one too many tests as well...through my 1st year in college as well...I am bad!
Steve worries that he will have Alzheimer's but he has told me if he gets it to drop him off in the middle of the desert and leave him there to die...he figures he won't know any different! NICE
I love that Matt commented on your blog!...oh and since you love Mexican food, have you gone to Zaba's?

QnA Drapers said...

Id love to hear more about this RUNNING you are into now! How fun- this list just made me wish we lived closer. I do like mowing the lawn, but sometimes I wish our yard was smaller! Have fun with that.

camran said...

I realized after leaving my last comment that the names were Wonderbuns, Chester and Superjock - why was mine so lame?!

Janae&DonovanLott said...

Now, Kristen...I think that your comment #8 definitely should be #1 (you sarcastic crazy momma!).

You should have put down how your body reacts to those "yummy" bean burritos in #13 (that goes for you too, Karen).

For your comment #20, you neglected to mention that it had been 17 years since your dental visit prior to this last one when you had your cavity filled.

And who is this camran that has such a good taste in men?

Meli said...

That's fun to read! I liked reading cheryls too. I am too boring to come up with 100 things. BTW reading matt's comment made me get a tear or two in my eyes!

Catherine said...

Biggest Loser and American Idol are my favorite shows! And it sounds like you're as obsessed with Target as me! It's such a rad store, you can find anything, even hot pants for yourself! I LOVED this post, Kristen! I learned so many new things about you that I didn't know before. However I DID know how much you loved cute boys in tight football pants, because I remember you talking about it (a lot) when I was like 10 and you were a teenager! Really, who DOESN'T like those football pants?! ;)
