Stole this idea from my sister, and she probably never thought I would do this, but here it goes…and in no particular order…
76. Counting in English, Spanish, and German while swinging Clarice and Rudolph
77. Making brownie cupcakes with Clarice for Mother’s Day…they had to have green frosting, “…’cause green is Mommy’s favorite color!”

83. Knowing your parents love you, even if they don’t say it.
84. Knowing your girlfriend, wife now, loves you, even though she didn’t say it when you did for the first time.
85. Driving to El Paso on a family vacation when I was fifteen and then driving part of the way home myself.
86. Cooking and entire dinner for the family on Mother’s Day, outside, in the driving rain and lightning.
87. Watching your first Super Bowl, and then everyone since
88. Watching Avatar with your kids every night, and being their comfort when it gets “scary”.
89. Reading your sister’s blog, over and over again, just to feel better.

95. Driving home from an interview, knowing you nailed it, but also knowing you’ll never take the job.
96. Trying to beat your sister at Scrabble, because there is no way you can beat your grandma.

101. Walking through Barcelona by yourself all day, and not speaking a lick of Spanish.
You’re right that I didn’t think you’d do this, but am so glad you did! I have several comments:
1. you are about to beat me at Scrabulous, so there you go (but I have beaten Grandma a couple of times lately!)
2. I didn’t remember that you drove part of the way home from El Paso – that must have been exciting!
3. catch is great, til you lose the ball!
4. you read my blog to make yourself feel better? I didn’t know that, but if it helps you at all, I’m glad.
Love you, and can’t wait to read the rest!
Scrabble – I suck at scrabble. My Scrabulous record is currently 1 win, 7 losses, and I just totally got called out for the use of the word piu. I love reading these lists!!
