99 Luftbalons Things

My parents are still here, and I’m crazy busy without alot of time for blogging (wah), so I’m pulling out this post that I’ve had in draft for about a week. I can’t remember who I grabbed it from, but I’m pretty certain it was Mags from Ms. Maggie Moo Talks 2 U. (If I’m wrong, will the real person I grabbed this from please step forward?) I know that my evil German twin posted her list…any of you who are in need of a post (NaBloPoMo is almost over, people…need rescue?) can grab away!

    Oh how I love to learn things about my bloggy friends. It’s kinda like sticking your nose into someones private life. Only it’s allowed 🙂

    Have a great weeekend with your parents and family.

    #87 What? you didn’t kill and pluck the feathers off your own turkey for dinner?
    I guess you are not quite the Martha I thought you were?
    Ha Ha!

    You’re life is fine, to boost your list up, I volunteer to take you to Paris!

  • oh my GOFF!

    Okay… what famous person have you met? Btw.. @brunchgirl on twitter tweeted from the TT concert here this week. I repied.. keep eyes on blonde back up dancer with long hair-she rocks it

    The next morning.. @brunchgirl confirmed!

    Anyhoo.. Reading this I realized I TOO am a very boring person. I never sold Girl Scout cookies… it’s the one thing I always wanted to do but pops would not let me join the gals. Living in Texas for 4 years I regret not seeing the Alamo either. So there you go Melis— you have done things I can only imagine. My time has passed… and I have moved on.. but how bout we get you to run that marathon! I’ll do it with you!

  • Michelle

    Oh what a fun list. I may steal that when I’m bored one day 😉

    I kept getting messed up between what you had and hadn’t done and completely confusing myself. Lawsuit? I think I vaguely remember you mentioning something about that awhile ago? Maybe? Refresh? Because… you know, I’m nosy! 😉

  • Melisa

    Weaselmomma: I actually thought about doing that! I have a few exciting things I could put into my own, fresh list. Maybe sometime I will. 🙂

    Sue: When do we leave?

    Angie: Let’s see. I have met David Sedaris (a couple of times), Lisa Whelchel (Blair from Facts of life. But that’s going waaaaay back.), Christina Applegate, Ann Curry, Matt Lauer…
    And…marathon? Um, no. But thanks! YOU GO, though!

    Michelle: Ha, sorry you’re confused! 🙂 No, I never talked about the lawsuit here. We got into a car accident right after we got married and had to go to court for it. An 81-year-old man named, oddly enough, Mr. Looney, hit our car. It was ugly, clearly his fault, and we lost the case when he appealed. Good times. NOT. We paid for that car for 2 years after it had been totaled, because it had been brand new and we had to pay the difference between what we still owed and what the insurance paid for. Ugh.
