2. I I hate going to the Dentist...oh wait..I may have mentioned that
3. My favorite sound is my daughter Annie's laugh..it's hilarious
4. I love taking baths...although my cousin Heidi made it slightly less enjoyable with her comments on the whole Bath thing.
5. I like to cook, but my presentation leaves much to be desired
6. I love to play games with my family

12. I am totally hooked on American Idol, and Lost
13. I was hooked on The Office until the writers strike....

15. I watch TV even though it zaps my energy
16. I love spending time outside...in the perfect temperature.
17. I love FHE
18. I had a happy childhood full of adventure

20. I feel like I use to be "super mom" when I only had an 18 month old. Where has all the creativity gone?...and the energy?....and the patients?
21. I LOVE babies!
22. If it weren't fattening...and costly...and lazy, I would like to eat out every night. I love eating out! ( I would probably change my mind after doing it for a week or two)

26. I love to read.
27. I love to sing.
28. I like to play tetris.
29. Sometimes while playing tetris, I mentally commentate on my game. I speak of myself in the third. Things like..." How does she do this!" or "Jill is just not on her game today"
30. I'm not proud of #29

36. I feel totally under qualified for my calling
37. I can honestly say that after being to roughly 250 Voice Male performances, I still enjoy them!
38. I dislike my feet
39. I love being at the kids school. I want to work there when all my kids are there. Maybe an aid or a reader or a lunch lady...(I'm serious)
40. I wish my whole family lived in the same town.
41. I have a pretty high tolerance for pain
42. I have border line arachnophobia...I have a hard time seeing pictures of spiders!

48. I love to play volleyball.
49. I think Casie is one of the smartest kids I know.
50. I love having parties at my house
51. I hate trying to figure out what to make for lunch. Breakfast and dinner are no problem...why does lunch vex me so?

53. I haven't exercised regularly for almost a year
54. I haven't been as happy lately....go figure.
55. I love hearing my kids read.

60. I enjoy being alone from time to time.
62. I love that I get together with my family every fast Sunday.
63. I love the Fall!
64. Mike and I use to go out every Friday...until we moved away from our next door babysitter.
65. I am determined to find another trusty babysitter so Mike and I can paint the town again.
66. Speaking of paint....I love to paint my house. It's been too long though. Time for another project.
67. I said I hate shopping, but that was only for clothes.. I love shopping for home decor and for my kids.
68. I love riding bikes with my family
69. I love eating dinner at my Mother in laws home on Sundays
70. I wish my mom lived closer so she could cook me food too...lol and for MANY other reasons.
71. I feel so sad when I hear of people children being picked on
72. I hate violence....I want to kill it!
73. I love watching the Jazz in the play offs....I like them other times too, but mostly during the play offs.
74. I have only been to one Jazz game in my life...it was in High school and I'm pretty sure I got a bloody noes..lol
75. The only non Voice Male concert I've been to was New Kids on the Block.
76. I'd rather not hear anything bad about people. I usually don't form negative opinions on my own. They come only after hearing negativity from others.
77. #76 probably isn't true in all cases
78. I have never heard my husband swear.
79. I am craving Thanksgiving dinner right now....why can't I crave something attainable....like Cheerios?
80. I wonder what Mike would say if I gently woke him up right now and asked him to whip up some Turkey, mashed potatoes, and rolls....and home made strawberry jam. I am thinking he might whip me up a big can on shut the heck up!...lol...then, after coming to his senses, he would lovingly pour me a bowl of Cheerios.
81. I like to try new things. I tried my hand at painting once. I wasn't horrible...but I still haven't seen that dessert landscape I gave my Dad hanging in his house. Weird, when I was a kid he hung all my art on the wall.
82. I worry more than I use to.
83. If I collected anything...it would be pens.
84. I love hot chocolate
85. I love finding that "perfect gift" for someone. I feel dis-satisfied if I give a gift that I didn't get that special feeling about.
86. I am turning into an herbal girl. I just have a sneaky feeling that all these drugs we take will kill us!
87. I'm not that into politics
88. I have a wild imagination, it gets the better of me from time to time.
89. I want to go back to school when my kids are older
90. I am grateful to be a stay at home mom.
92. I love the sound of people mowing their lawns. It's nostalgic to me for some reason.
93. I love summer rain storms. Especially with lots of thunder and lightning. Whenever it's overcast, my kids say, "Mom, it's your favorite day!"
94. I am sorta related to the prophet...Mike's grandpa is first cousins with President Monson. I guess that makes me "sorta" related
95. I got to eat dinner with President Monson a couple of years ago. President Hinckley was at the table next to us, and President Faust was a couple tables over.
96. I hate when my kids are sick.
97. I love to snuggle with Ellie. She fits perfectly...like a puzzle
98. I DON'T like sharing my bed with the kids. They kick like mad dogs!
99. I am glad this list is almost over
100. I am happy to be me. I am blessed beyond measure. I hope I am always grateful for the things I have.
