What Kelly Said 
So hysterical! Giddy you are back!
Love it!!
So freaking glad you’re back. 🙂
I love this list! We have about a gazillion things in common (see #87)! I’m jealous of your marriage but I think the reason I’m so so so single is because I expect an SO to be a best friend and just haven’t clicked with anyone that way yet.
I eat at least 3 or 4 bowls of cereal a day, big bowls, that I refill numerous times first at breakfast and then afternoon snacking and then late night snacking :X
I’m a professional worrier, and I do that list thing too!
I think we could have really good conversations about politics and books, but unfortunately I could care less about football. I hope you still love me!
Gaby! Too funny! We do have a lot in common!
I am SO happy you are back! I really have missed you!
I LOVED this list. I am selfish too, and a brat…and I frequently get called both..especially by my mom! 🙂 Oh and I overuse exclamation points too!!
I didn’t know you had a new blog…hooray! Double hooray for putting #25 out there. Agree 100%!
Glad you’re back!
I’m pretty sure that at least half of those apply to me!! Love it!!
I used to read your other blog as a non-blogger!! So so glad to see that you are back! You are too funny! And I think we may have way too many things in common!
Katie : )
Thanks Katie! I am glad you started blogging! 🙂
This was so fun to read. #25…completely agree!
You and your husband seem like soul mates. I know people don’t believe in that kind of stuff but to know each other your whole lives, be 11 years apart, and then get married? Crazy. Love it. I think my hubby is my soulmate too, but we didn’t meet til we were 21.
I can’t believe you’ve known your husband your whole life – I love that. My husband and I met when we were 19, started dating at age 20 and got married at 22! I always enjoy hearing about other people’s stories.
So glad you’re back – I remember when you stopped the other blog last summer. I had quit a blog at that same time also! Looks like we’re both back in action – and with different focuses!
You’re back! Yah!!
I have to confess to #23 and #95 – and can’t believe there is another blogger besides me with those qualities! Everyone blogging seems so darn creative and off the cuff!
Haha this is awesome! (Oh, and totally agree with number 25!). I’m glad your back (not sure why I didn’t find you earlier, but hey, I’m here now!)
Glad we were “introduced” through The Athlete’s Plate posting today! I love this listing of 100! Hope you checked out my blog and entered my giveaway, too! It ends today!
After reading this I cannot believe HOW MUCH we have in common! So cool 🙂
Like 9 hrs. of football on Sunday, love of cereal, best friends with the hubby (well, my almost hubby 🙂 ), overuse of exclamation points!, favorite store is Old Navy, your beliefs on baths- ew!, and many many more! Again, I’m SO glad you are back 😀
Thanks Holly!! I am excited to read all your wedding fun coming up! Woo hoo!
Number 25 cracked me up and I agree with you! Actually a lot of them cracked me up!
I also sleep with a stuffed animal called “Doggy.” We are awesomely creative with our naming skills.
Haha! Yeah….let’s just hope we do better if we have children!
YAY KELLY! I’m glad you are back. I hope that your finger is feeling better (even though it “looks like ass”.)
Anne!!! I need to come see how the wedding planning is going…it is this month right??
love love love this about me section! It was fun to read and made me want to read more. i just stumbled on your blog. Bookmarking it now 🙂 Looking forward to reading more!
I love everything about this list. Im so glad you are blogging again!
I’m glad you are blogging again Kelly!
I too loved Felicity and felt like a part of me disappeared when they took it off the air. Yes, I realize I am dramatic!!
Hi Kelly! Thank you so much for commenting on my blog because I was able to find yours!
I just read why you decided to stop blogging a bit ago and can completely understand becoming absorbed into the world and stop thinking about other, rather important parts of life.
I am glad you are back though, and loved this list of “about me!” I hope your finger eventually looks less like ass, but if not, that’s totally fine too
I completely agree with you on number 47, Titanic is fantastic and my other favorite is The Lion King
#25 is something I agree with as well. It’s one of the reasons I started my own blog where I talk openly about my personal issues around food and exercise. Why should I be in denial about something that is such a huge, negative part of my life? I should not of course, and I am healing from this disastrous relationship with food
I can’t wait to continuing to read your blog!
Wow Tessa! Thanks for actually going back and reading my old blog and learning more about why I quit writing that one. I appreciate that so much! I will definitely keep reading yours because I think you are a special lady with a lot of insight. 🙂
Kelly – I read through your list and so many of your points applied to me too! I loved loved loved (and still love) Felicity. I’m a total JJ Abram dork now too and will give almost anything he does a chance. I just turned 30 myself (well almost a year ago) and it’s not as bad as it sounds. I kinda like it cause now I feel more like an adult.
We’re big Colts fan at my house too… don’t tell hubby but Peyton Manning is a total hottie… Can’t wait for football season!
I love your list! We have a lot in common! The most important involving my excitement in having another die hard Indy/Peyton fan in the state!
GO BLUE!
Woo hoo!! Another Colts lover!! Excellent!!
You rock girl! We have a lot in common:) Except I unfortunately have seen A LOT of snow!
Hi Kelly!!
I follow you on twitter and wanted to stop by your blog!
LOVE it!
I am going to Maui for my honeymoon in only a little over a week, I see you love maui! Have u been?!!
I love whole foods as well!
U are so LUCKY u have never seen snow!! omg winter is horrible ! lol
Love all the facts! You and your hubby make a great couple!!!
YAY! Thanks for stopping by! Yes, my husband and I went to Maui for our honeymoon. It was AMAZING! I hope you have a fabulous time! We stayed on Ka’anapali Beach and it was beautiful! Congratulations on the wedding!
hahaha what a great read! So glad I found your blog.
You are HILARIOUS! SO many of these apply to me too 🙂 Don’t worry quirks are often the best parts! Except I love cats and love baths. The key is to shower, clean the tub, then bathe…I’m slightly OCD.
WAIT, how did you know your husband your whole life?!?!?! We’re your parents friends?!?!
Yup! Our parents were friends and therefore I have known Keith forever! Lucky me! 😉
Okay, I just found your blog and am now convinced we could be BFF’s. Ha!! We have a lot of the same interests!! So looking forward to following your blog now. 🙂
Also, can you PLEASE come here so I can show you snow?
This is too funny! I can totally relate to so many of these, especially #28.”I can (and do) spend 9 hours watching football on Sundays. Don’t ask me to do anything for you on a Sunday. I won’t.” 🙂
Um, how did I not know that Felicity is also your favorite show?! ❤
Oh yes! I love Felicity. I have all the seasons on DVD and frequently (to my husband’s horror) have Felicity marathons on the weekends.
I just found your blog and I love it. I relate to so much of this!
My parents got divorced when I was in my 20s. I overuse exclamations! Clutter loves me too : ) Get ready quick, hate baking, love cooking, etc etc. Love this list. Adding you to my reader!
You do seem like a very FUN person. I loved the list!

Super awesome. I am OCD list obsessed – you get a gold star.
Ha! Thanks. Lists are the best!
Hi Kelly! I found your blog through Instagram and love it already! Based on your list, we have a lot of things in common. I’ve caused quite a few fender benders as well – oops! And I make lists like my life depends on it. I look forward to following along. 🙂
LOooove this! i 100% agree with your #25 and #37 haha 🙂
What an awesome way to do your ABOUT page!
I overuse explanation points too!!!
I am really inspired together with your writing skills and also with the layout to your
blog. Is this a paid theme or did you modify it yourself?
Anyway keep up the excellent high quality
writing, it is rare to look a great blog like this one
today..
Today, I went to the beachfront with my children. I
found a sea shell and gave it to my 4 year
old daughter and said “You can hear the ocean if you put this to your ear.” She placed the shell to her ear and screamed.
There was a hermit crab inside and it pinched her ear.
She never wants to go back! LoL I know this is totally off
topic but I had to tell someone!
Hey! I absolutely love your blog and find it so helpful and insightful. I have created a blog of my own called pbandrae.com and was wondering if you could check it out and offer me any tips you may have to help me expand? Thank you!
