50 Things To Know About Me

I am always trying to come up with ideas of what I can post on my blog. I tend to always do the same things. So, I came across this as an idea. I have compiled a list of things about me.

that was awesome! Maybe I will do that too....but I'm pretty much an open book so I would probably have nothing new to report.

I love those lists! I did 100 things for Parker for his first birthday, but haven't done one for myself. I loved learning so much about you!

Bridgette said...

You have the best blog entries ever! I love them. Both this post & the things you will miss are my favs. Those are the great memories we all need to jot down so we'll never forget!

That must be one really good potato salad...you must share the recipe. I love potato salad!

Grandma Hand said...

What a wonderful blog. It is so fun to read about the things that you have done and I am so happy that you love being a "mom". This is such a great way to keep in touch.

I don't remember you ever giving a perm to one of your friends. Did that really happen? Just so you know, I can't make my mom's potato salad either. She just has the touch. But it seriously is the best. I think I am going to do this just to see if I can come up with 100 things about me.

Hey, Megan!!!1 It's me, Lynette Packer-Nordgren! I found your blog on the Hunter Reunion website (I hope that was okay...). I feel bad that I haven't kept in touch with you better, which is why I'm so excited to see you at the reunion!!!

It was fun to learn more about you. What a great idea! I don't have a blog, but that is definitely something I want to do in my journal. :)

Anyway, see you in a week!
