That was fun! I liked this list, and I especially liked the stuff you added to it. And, also, you ARE a dork, but I don't think it has anything to do with making this list. ;)xoxoMia

I have a ski jump nose too!! Actually we call it ski slope. It's a family trait on my Dad's side. All his kids have it. If any kid ever comes out of the woodworks claiming to be his, the nose knows.It's not stupid that you won't say the names you like for your kids. My sister, when her first daughter was born, told someone in the hospital and SHE gave birth before my sister and she used the name, Madison Paige. Which is okay NOW but back then when my sister was in labour she was pissed. We can't imagine her being a Madison Paige now because Kennedi Grace suits her. So what you think you want and the name you eventually name could be two different things.My dvds AND books AND cds are all in alphabetical order AND the stuff in my fridge shows the label front.I guess I'm a dork too.

I am totally stealing it and putting it on my blog. Thanks!!The Bimps

Noodle - thanks, hon. Mia - thanks for the idea! I did add a couple things at the end; I just wasn't ready to give it up yet!Grace - A-ha, so I'm not crazy about the kids' name thing! And as for the nose, see, that's the mystery in my family, because NO ONE "nose" where I got it! It's my own little genetic invention, I guess!Bimps - As Starsky would say, "Do it. Do it."

Boonzie said...

Luura - I love that "do it" thing, too! I quote from movies way more than I should, but what can you do? The SDLeisher comment is from my husband. Notice how he tried to cover up calling me a dork with a "Love you"? Yeah, I didn't fall for it, either. :)

When advertisers or businesses purposely misspell words or names to make something "catchy" - ME TOO! All it says to me is "you just lost MY business".

Boonzie said...

Ccap - EXACTLY!
