I have left the last one intentionally blank. Only listing 100 things, and I am now blank. Even though I know there is much more. Yet, this last one seems so ever important. So, I need to think on it. I will get back to it.This was a daunting task at first. Things began to roll very easily. This is what I think, right at this moment are things about me that may splain. Yet I know tomorrow the List would change. It is forever evolving. Something as an inventory. To be checked from time to time. To rearrange, restock. Hmmm....I will return.
Peace
Jo

I really found this interesting.
Simply stated, unconfused makeup...nice to see a fraction of Jodi.
Very busy lady...I get a feeling you are stress motivated. LOL!
TJ
jod{i} - this is BRILLIANT! I am so thoroughly enjoying your writing :-) I see a lot of me in here too...except for the 4 children part :-) THANK YOU for sharing!
very interesting - a window into your soul.. I like it so much that I may steal your idea myself if you don't mind?

btw, you don't mention anything in your list about a signifcant other...

Can i then infer that you are divorced/seperated? or that your spouse is not an important part of your life? or conversely, he's such an important part of your life that he can't be captured in a list of 100?
Cool! Now I have a better idea on who Jodi is :)
Your kids and significant other are very lucky to have you as mother & "other". You sound wonderful.
42 is an interesting number for consecutive sneezes. Read much Douglas Adams?
e: LOL... Hmmmm I am not sure if I should answer that! Never really put that together until you said it. Who woulda thunk?
Also mother of four, used to be multi-tasked, jack-of-all trades, lots of aspirations. Now taking a breather. Enjoy those precious four, they grow too fast!
You Rule! The End! xoxoxox
Ya know...Inference is another pet peeve and those who do not READ....
Number 18....for those who are just quick to infer anything!
