More than you ever wanted to know...

LOVE office supplies, and LOVE Captain Von Trapp!!! Great list! I still haven't done my 25 on facebook that I got tagged like 80 times for. No way would I be un-lazy enough to do 100! Way to go!

Yikes...I just realized that I just reached my 107th post on my blog and never realized it until I read this on yours. ( I went back and checked )

I'm playing catch up since I've been away for a few days !

I don't think I could do 100...good job !

I'm impressed Becka.

Really.

I admit to looking up the following on Wikipedia:

1. Thomas Kinkade
2. Michael Crawford
3. Lexapro

But NOT Christian Dior; you explained that one just fine.

DT said...

Did you know that my wife has a mouth guard as well?

So you've NEVER, EVER seen an r-rated movie? That's pretty impressive!

Kudos on the R-rated movies!
