It was worth the wait...thanks for getting off your sorry bum and posting it for us!
You make me laugh. Hard.
Speaking of putting feet in mouths, I'm afraid I did it to you the other night at the Stake Enrichment. I would call you, and apologize, but you did say that you hate talking on the phone. Maybe I'll do it anyway ;)
nan, i'm happy to know that i already knew alot of the stuff on your list. i guess that means i've really gotten to know you, for better or worse!! i love how you say so....and follow it up with a random question for me. so...what time do you check your mail every day? 4 different vet offices huh... was someone caught taking home de-worming medicine? i thought of one of your foot in mouth moments. the thing is most of us try to act like we didn't just say what we just said or quickly change the subject... but not our dear nan. you're like wow, why did i just say that? Love ya nan...don't ever change(i know you won't:)
Seriously, I could read these questionares about you all day long. You are so real, so funny, and so interesting.
I laughed when I immediately thought of the bloggers luncheon. "So....did anyone watch the Miss American pageant?" (or something to that effect. And then you confessed you totally had questions prepared to fill the lulls in the conversations. I LOVE YOU!!)
tharker- what? You have nothing to apologize for. Another thing I've been "blessed" with- a bad memory.
Nat- you know me well.
Movie Queen- I seriously freak out, so I had a few prepared...
Your dad's "Friar Tuck" nickname for you is cracking me up to no end. Did you used to have a bowl cut or something? And "Top That" people drive me insane too. This was a good list about yourself, way to keep it real Frandowdie!
Nan, this post is EXACTLY why all of your readers LOVE you! You are a true to everyone and honest to yourself too! I really enjoyed this post! We need to plan a girls night again. It's been awhile.......!
I can't believe Jack is walking, where have I been?! He doesn't even know Aunt Bekie! We need some serious catch-up time, him and me!
I love that you put that picture up of that other Nancie with the stunning face(yours is better), you always entertain me!
Nanny Pan I didn't see anything about your button phobea! That will always make me laugh. Love you girl!
Your so cute and funny Nancy. Can I come and live on your ranch with you. Sounds like heaven to me.
"Do you consider yourself out-going? Yes sometimes too much- "Nan-get a grip, there CAN be a lull in the conversation"
You are so stinkin hilarious, and I love you so much!
I love you Nan. You are always guaranteed a laugh from me.
I'm not sure about visiting Europe on horseback. Do horse swim?
That right there is a good post... to me
About the skinny dipping?!???... Great post.
Gen-you-ine! Your the real deal Nan. I wouldn't change a single thing.
Your energy is contagious!
And you seriously make some cute babies!
Oh, how I miss you, Nan!! It was so fun reading your "tag". You have always been such a great example to me and I'm so glad that we became friends in Middle School and have remained friends through all these years!! Love you!
I am especially laughing about picking the excema off your feet. Why do you make me smile so much . . . Oh . . because you are freakin AWESOME!
