Congratulations on your 100th post Rachel! I enjoyed reading them all! You are such a joy to know! I miss you!
There was some interesting things I didn't know about you. I feel like I know you better already. I already like what I knew. Now there is just more to like.
Okay, Rachel, you're going to have to answer a few more questions!
You know I love the Hammer Pants! I bring them up as often as the occasion will allow!
I did not know about the glod vest! I wonder if you could get that outfit made for maternity! That would be sweet!
#12 I didn't know about the toe thing!
#21 Why didn't you just get a note from your employer stating your work status? :)
#29 Odd numbers? Who are you?
#33 You know I touch everything in the store too!
#48 Don't like movies...how are we friends?
#58 I did not know you had kneww surgery.
#59 WHat does kidney surgery involve?
#75 I did not know you were a drum major!
#77 Can you still play the Sax or Flute?
I love all 100 things about yoU!
Ok, Brandi. . here are your answers:
#21: My mom KNEW my employer!! She KNEW I had a job. . . it was at the snowcone stand and it just hadn't started yet.
#58: I had 2 surgeries on my left knee in junior high -- 6th grade & 8th grade. I don't have much cartliage in my left knee from it all (one more thing about me most people don't know!).
#77: I could probably play the sax after a little while, but I can still play the flute.
I don't like odd numbers either. Who does? I actually like numbers best when they equal out or make a pattern. I especially like my birthday...
4-20-80 It is all even numbers and it is like an equation (4x20=80). I'm really a dork about that. Neither of the girls, or Kevin's birthdays are really pleasing to me.
I totally want to see you play the sax...or flute for that matter! That's awesome! You should surprise us sometime on a Super Life Group or something. Wouldn't that be so cool to have a super life group with people showing off their UNknown talents! That would be soooooo funny! What if Becky could break dance, and I could bite my toenails...or whatever. We should do that!
i love this post! there are so many things i didn't know about you! and by the way, remind me never to ride with you at night...or whenever you are feeling sleepy!
I have like ten things in common with you- wow- coconut llime verbena is one of them! When I have more time I will discuss the others.
