Loved your list. It is fun to get to know someone better when they describe themselves.

andrea said...

Misty, Great list. That was so fun to read. I'm the oldest too, very bossy and always trying to solve other people's problems.

Misty said...

You and I are a lot alike. Exept I am a fabulous decorator (if I had money), I am super loud and outgoing in large groups, oh and I cook like I mean it. But I can relate to you on SO many levels.

Randy said...

You're too funny. I hope you know how much my wife loves you. in only a friendly way, not that other kinda way. that would make for an awkward relationship for you and I. anyway. great 100 things, we need to try Settlers again with just 3-4. my sister and brother in law aren't the best at 6 player. common, it's okay!

Lee said...

It's true, I do love you! Okay that just sounds wrong. But whatever. Hopefully I will see you tomorrow!!
