five hundred

seriously – FIVE hundred?  i know i say this every big post, but wow… no idea i would last this long!

i almost missed this one.  i randomly decided to count my posts and i was at 499!  so then i felt the pressure to do something cool and haven’t posted in a couple days when i have lots of things i want to post about!  i guess i will save those ideas for next week.

i always tend to do something different on my milestone number posts.  i know i like to learn random facts about other bloggers so that’s what i am going to do!

remember 100, 200, 300 and 400

i decided to go back to the format of 100, 200, and 300 because it’s fun to write about some new things and change up the blog format a bit every now and then… so here we go, 100 more random things and lots of pics!

    Happy 500! Love the blog : )

  12. Karen September 24, 2010 at 6:32 am #

    LOL The fact that you clean the night before the cleaning lady arrives kills me!!!

    I did the same thing before. The Fiance used to laugh at me but I insisted I didn't want them thinking we were dirty or something.

    I feel the same way about walking into a Sephora – I only do it in full make-up. Or going to a really nice store – I try to look like I don't need anything new!

    lol Quirky, I know!

    Happy 500th Aron!!!!!

    I'm guilty of wearing my glasses all day at work too. And then putting my contacts in as soon as I get home to run/workout. :p And I think we have the same problem w/buying clothes in bulk. I have multiple clothing items that I have in 3-6 different colors…. :D

    HAPPY 500 POSTS!!!!!!! WOW, what a journey it has been. I've loved being along for the ride and I have to tell you, you inspire me daily! I appreciate your support always and you make me BELIEVE I can really do it… whatever it happens to be. ;)

    FYI, we eat virtually the same salad… I also have 4 tattoos, AND fave Gu flavors are the same except that we dont' have mandarin here yet. (booo)

    Have a great weekend!!

    Happy 500th Post! I like how you can count on one hand how many times you have cried this year! I know that I don't cry that often either (especially at sappy movies) and I get heck for it from a couple of my friends – they joke that I am cold-hearted!

  21. Mica September 24, 2010 at 10:46 am #

    Four tattoos! Wow!

    Happy 500 posts! Here's to 500 more good ones. :-D
