This was an interesting list. I tried to do 100 things on my old blog for my 100th post but I kept getting bored by my own post. I ended up never doing it. Oh well. I did enjoy your list though.
ReplyDeleteI was a nail biter in remission too, but I recently started biting again.
I also had to take clomid, did the shots, then back to clomid to get pregnant.
Anyhoo- we have a lot of similarities but I won't list them all.
You know, I never did post my 100 things about me. Maybe I should work on that ~ like you I was afraid I couldn't come up with 100 things. I haven't read your list yet but I will when I get a few minutes in a little while!
ReplyDeleteWow Crystal, you did it. . . and I actually learned some new things about you! :)
ReplyDeleteI also have a lot of similarities with you too. It was fun to read more about what make's Crystal . .Crystal.
