Congratulations on your first post.
And what a mammoth effort it was too!
Well done.
I saw your posts on Ruth's blog 'The Little Children'.
Happy blogging!

Priscilla said...

Hi! Welcome to blogger. I am Martha's sister and live in the Finger Lakes Region!

Ruth said...

Wow - 100 things is really hard! Well done. I've never attempted it because I know I'd run out of things! I liked your list.

Martha said...

I'm so glad you finally have your blog up and running! Bet you didn't know I used to work in AWANA and I married my high school sweetheart. (Ok, maybe you did.)

Heather said...

Martha, that does sound a bit familiar that you used to work in Awana and also married your high school sweetheart!

Martha said...

Too bad you didn't buy the house next door. We could have had lots of fun.

Bethany said...

Yea for blogging! So fun to have one hundred things written... I did that once too. It was quite exciting. We miss you guys so much! I think it's time for a visit! (Except I'm not supposed to go too far away for the next couple of months.)

Tell everyone I said hello!

Heather said...

Martha, it is too bad we didn't move next door! That would have been very fun.

Bethany, it is time for a visit! Maybe on January 4th for a little wedding and you can bring your little baby!!

Rachel said...

I think that's quite a bit. Unfortunately I deleted my 100 things a couple months ago. Maybe I should redo it.

Lucy C said...

Martha, Priscilla and Rachel!
All sisters!
You learn a new thing every day.
Thanks for commenting on my blog Heather.
It is usually just about my animals. Hopefully I won't lose my phone again in a hurry!!!
I hang out at Ruth's blog to hear her news. I am a Christian too although you wouldn't know it from reading about my animals.
Think I might do a list like yours some day.

Heather said...

Rachel, that is a lot that we have in common. I think I may have met you and Priscilla at Jimmy's high school graduation party at your parents house?? I think you should repost your hundred things about you. I have enjoyed reading your blog!

Shelly said...

Hi Heather. Welcome to blogger world! :) How on earth do you make yourself not ticklish?! I am terribly ticklish and it drives me NUTS! (and sometimes hubby too!!) LOL.

Heather said...

Thanks for the welcome, Shelly! I just kind of willed myself not to be ticklish. I didn't like the way being tickled made me feel so out of control. I was pretty young. That must make me a huge control freak, I think!

Shelly said...

So... you can choose to be ticklish or not to be ticklish but a control freak. Hmmm... I'll have to think on that one. ;)

Heather said...

Good point, Shelly. I am working on that whole control freak thing. I don't need to control most things, but have learned that I really like controlling some things. Who knew?

Martha said...

Shelly decided I was a control freak when I insisted on driving all the way to Florida, every place while we were there, and then all the way back home. Actually, by the time we got to Cleveland I was so tired I was glad to hand over the control. (Shelly was glad to take it.)

Hey, Heather! Thank you for visiting my blog. Welcome!! I enjoyed your 100!! If you ran over the vaccuum on purpose you are now one of my heroes. :O)

Heather said...

I did not run over the vaccuum on purpose, but it did seem funny to me. The bad part was that I had just brought it home from getting it repaired. My husband just said, "What in the world was the vaccuum doing in the yard?"

T said...

good golly heather, to run over the vacum.... well us control freaks all need a little uncontroled situations..LOL... but I would wonder why it was in the yard too...
welcome to blogging.
thanks for stopping by.

DeeMarie said...

Hi There - Just dropping a note to say that I loved your introductory blog! Good Luck and God Bless.

Tracy said...

Nice list. It was very random, perfect for a 100 things list. I am very ticklish but one time I successfully lied to a group of children that I was definitely NOT ticklish - not one bit - and they believed me and didn't try! I was very proud of myself at that moment.

I know that seems twisted, but I really didn't want them to discover i was so ticklish and tickle me all week at camp. I was the counselor.
