How do you know when you have had 100 posts? Did you count them all? I don't know if I am willing to do that :) By the way, I love you new template, it is way cute! You know people might come after you because you don't like Oprah. She pretty much has her own following. People seriously base their life decisions off of her advice. May be you should give her another try??? Okay, maybe not. Love ya!
Aaaawww! Miss you guys tons!
Keep the list coming chica! It's fun to read!
I loved your post.
I do love Oprah, but don't base my decisions on her opinion.
I know a lot of people who can't stand her.
So WON'T come after you for not liking her.
I very much miss your mom and your sister!
I love you even more than I love Oprah, A LOT more!
:-)
I loved reading that! You are a great friend, and a great person. I wish we all still lived close.
I hate Oprah too...
Since we're all weighing in . . . I am indifferent toward Oprah--don't love her, don't hate her. I never watched her show regularly, and I seriously can't remember the last time I caught one. It has been years. Loved your post--would love to see you post another 48 things! And, of course, I love you!
That was really fun to read Brooke!
Since everyone seems to be weighing in, I like Oprah, don't love her. And I definitely don't base my life on her and I do think its a little strange that some people do...really strange actually.:)
Hope you guys are doing well. Miss you!
Hey, I went private so I need your email address so I can add you! My email is jenspace@yaho.com
I enjoyed reading this post and learning more about you. I would like to see the rest of the list. Are we still on for Thursday? I will leave it up to you and Jamie on where we are going. Just let us know the plans.
For a second I thought I was reading my own blog. We must be blog twins! I don't think I could've made it to 100 either.
By the way...who's Oprah?! ;-)
Love the post Brooke! So fun to hear so many things about you.
Brooke, I loved the personal insights into who you are. We love you so much for being in our family. What a task that is! You do have a beautiful set of kids, and you are a great mom. Thanks for taking good care of them everyday, and loving our son so much. Blessings on your life each minute! Mom Barnes (Trudy) I know I am not your birth mom, but love claiming you are one of our precious children.
