take THREE

100 things down 100 more to go! I'm pretty happy with my idea to celebrate my 200th post in this way. 4 posts of 50 things adding up to 200. Just think of all the fun things you've learned so far. Read carefully there might be a pop quiz after this!

I have one amendment to make to my 50 things I can't live without list. I should have added my CROCKPOT. I love that girl. We are joined at the hip. I have some great CROCKPOT cake recipes that I want to try. So she should have made the list. Sorry Crockpot. SORRY. Honorable mention should have also gone to ......well it rhymes with CORN and it's not PG!

Anywho. Here goes. I was having trouble coming up with the topics for my last 2 lists. So i did what I do. I called Kitty and talked it over with her. after a brainstorming session we had a few ideas I liked. Maybe I'll blog about the ideas I WONT be using another time.
