Don't worry, my husband IS strange...I tell him that all the time! I really liked the book "Are You My Mother?". We do have the movie Speed if you ever feel the need to watch it. - yes, these are random comments
You are super julie...i think i knew all that about you...but it was a good reminder
I can vouch for nearly all of those that they're indeed true facts about Julie.
I was so excited to see you posted your list of 100 things. I too struggle with clutter and am currently in the midst of a clutter crisis. I also can never find anything in my purse. I DO carry my cell phone, but it is always dead. And I always panic that I locked my keys in the car because it takes me like 6 minutes to find them at the bottom of my purse while my 4 kids scamper around the busy parking lot. Ooh, Steve and I also have huge binders full of letters. I feel soooo immature when I read them:(
OK that was long, but I love how you refer to "sweet baby pee":)
no mention of the TC blue beanie in 4th grade?
