100 things that make me happy...
I got on to blog about the show So You Think You Can Dance. (I'm curious about who those of you that watch like best!) But I noticed that this would be my 100th post! So instead, in celebration of my 100th post, I thought I'd share my list of 100 things that make me happy...

just bathed babies and
brownies ready to come out of the oven!

a soft blanket,
and a good book...

It's so nice to have you back again, I've missed reading your blog. I love your 100 lists, what a great way to get to know you better. Thanks for sharing
Oh my gosh! I learned so much! Funny, just yesterday I had lettuce wraps and crispy honey shrimp at PF Changs!!!
I always think of you at this time of year - knowing you love the whole 4th of July time of year.
Glad to read your posts again!
PS So glad Book Club made your list! :)
Welcome back! As I was clicking the link to your blog I was thinking how foolish of me it was too look for an update because you're so busy and have family in town, but alas I was wrong. What a delightful surprise to have such a fun 100th post (wow) to read. I love it!!
I think you put great things on this list and covered all areas of life. Is it a girl thing or are lists like this just plain happy?
Yay Jenn, you're back! I've missed you! I love your list. I started one a whilke back and only made it to about 65. I think it's time for me to pick it up again. . .
I love your list. You really learn a lot about someone a list of their loves. Welcome back to blogging (although I quite enjoyed your quick recap of your life since you fell off the blogging world).
Hi! I've missed you! Let's talk about the Dance show 1st. I like Allison (sp?) the best.
Lord of the Rings? I had no idea!!! Pumpkin chocolate -- yum! What's Bonk?
BONK!@#* is when my little kids bang their forhead against mine or Kelly's. I have to admit, it is cuter when it is Kelly's head but I love the laughing and kisses that accompany my own bonks!
I love this list and love that I know more about you now. I am still sad you were not able to come to tbe blog party, but hopefully I can meet you at the next get together.
Jenn - this is awesome. I loved the list, you are the queen of great ideas. I would have been very intimidated by having to think of 100 thinks. Yours seemed to go on forever and I was sad to reach the end!
I'm glad you're back....?
Woohoo!! I thought for sure July 4th would compel you to post again. I love your list and was happy to see how many of the things would be on my list too. Like Amy, I started making a list of 100 things that I love awhile back, but never finished it. I guess it's time to pick it up again. I just have one question: giraffes? What's that about?
What a fantastic post! I love your list!
Love your list. I am going to have to do this myself. Congrats on 100.
