I like to think of every 100th posts as a landmark event 🙂 Go here for my 100th post and here for my 200th.
I really gave thought to what I would do for my 300th post…then it clicked…I would ask the two women who know me best to tell you random things about me. So I sent one email off to my mommy and another off to my bestie. Here it is from the one’s who know me best:
From Mommy…
Ten things you should know about Jill:
1. She despises injustice and prejudice and she will always root for the underdog.
2. If you ask for her opinion be prepared for a honest response
3. You have to know what you’re talking about to discuss March Madness with her
4. If you are her friend there is nothing she won’t do for you… or at least attempt to the best of her ability.
5. She has a protective shell that makes her appear tough so people don’t always realize how sensitive she truly is
6. Her maternal grandmother has always been her hero
7. She loves the Tarheels and the Phillies and will show you no mercy if you are a bandwagon rider. Don’t reveal you are a Duke and/or Yankee fan until after you have established a friendship.
8. She loves softball… playing, coaching and watching
9. Her mom is her heart and her dad is her best friend. don’t mess with either of them.
10. One of her best friends died 10 years ago and it completely shaped and changed the course of her life.
Ten Jill facts:
1. She had her appendix out when she was six and weighed only 28 pounds when she left the hospital (so we took her to Ground Round on kids-pay-what-they-weigh night!)
2. She gave her parents a trip to Key West as a Christmas gift one year.
3. She has been going to Wildwood Crest since she was 10 years old.
4. She started swimming lessons when she was 10 months old and gymnastics at the age of three. She will never forgive her mother for not putting her in dance as a child
5. Her first ever flight was to Italy… her second was to England. she has never flown anywhere with her mom.
6. She started seriously roller skating at age six and it became her childhood passion
7. She finished first grade and proceeded to fire her babysitter. Unfortunately she failed to mention this until the night before second grade started leaving us to scramble to find a new one by the next day.
8. Losing her first tooth was the highlight of her first trip to Disney at age seven
9. She ran away from home when she was six with just a brown bag that held her cabbage patch doll, a box of Kraft macaroni & cheese and a pot to cook it in.
10. When she laughs uncontrollably, it is THE best sound. And the smile that goes with it is simply gorgeous.
