I saw this post over on Everything Happens for a Reason and decided this was going to be my Monday post.
I came to an epiphany this morning that I really suck at Monday morning posts.
I always say I'm going to write at least my Monday post on Sunday so I'm prepared but that never happens because A) we are off doing something. Yesterday was a ton of yard work, family pictures, and some Red Lobster or B) I'm being a lazy bum.
It's usually B so everyone knows.
Tomorrow will be the weekend and more specifically Cinco de Mayo recap.
Until then...here is a list of 99 things I have either done or have not done!
The bold items are the ones that I have done

The horse and buggy sign reminds me of home!
Looks like you've done quite a bit of traveling- jealous!
Ah, you forget that you have held a praying mantis! Would it help jog your memory if I were to remind you that it BIT you when you let it go?
Also, I was doing my own list in my head along with yours. Your travels and mine are close I think, but that German trip with Ju really put you all over the map in Europe.
This was fun to read!
(BTW, c-h-a-r-i-c-a-t-u-r-e) ;)
Such a fun post! You really have gotten to travel a lot. I am just a bit jealous! :)
This is ridiculous but somehow I thought you didn't post all week and today here they were. I was getting worried and it turns out I'm just an idiot. This is a great Monday morning post and I'll be stealing it in the future.
