Ummmm... You listed Grey's Anatomy twice. Just thought you should know so you don't carry on the fraud of claiming it is a list of 100 things... ;)

Hey, the 100th post is excellent. I'm confused about something, but I'll have to ask another time. It's not really a "comment" sort of question.

OK, so I know how terrible I am cuz i haven't commented in like FOREVER. So here go my top 5 favorite things...at present.
1. Jonathan Jacob Charles Esau...that's a given :)
2. Grey's Anatomy...need I say more! You might even call it an addiction ;)
3. Chocolate and lots of it.
4. The warmth of the sun on my skin
5. Sappy movies...the kind that make Jon cringe, and me cry.

Man, the more I write, the more I realize I COULD continue to write. I guess I love a lot of things.
Including you Scamms!
Miss ya!
