I did learn some things about you, but I also knew some of those things. I loved Charlie's Angels and Love Boat too. I used to stay up to watch Love Boat and then Fantasy Island. Love those shows!

I learned a lot about you! Back handspring? Are you kidding!? WOW! I will have to copy this list today...

Great little lists! I learned some fun things about you. I'm going to have to work on my lists today. I can't do a back handspring either -- the thought makes reason stare!

Natasha said...

I'm with you on the white pants thing as well!

donna said...

Great post!
I so with you on singing,
I can't sing! That makes me so sad too:(
I wish I could:)

amy gretchen said...

I loved the list. I knew a lot of it, but enjoy the way you presented it.

carlo said...

oh fun! love the list...

love boat! charlie's angels! YES!!

fun to read, jill.

10 bags? you DO Love them! i specifically did not buy any large bags b/c i enjoy them, too.

Tiffanie said...

I completely agree on the cadbury eggs and the texing while driving. I learned a lot about you today, thanks for sharing!

Jill said...

The dirt on white pants isn't my concern, it's the dimples and general lack of secrets. It's just not flattering!

becca said...

I am dying over your white pants comment!! So true so true!! I love reading these...I would love to do a back handspring too.. :)

Mandy said...

The white pants comment was very funny to me. I can't remember the last time I wore white pants. I guess that's a good thing.

Cadbury eggs are truly wonderful and could possibly be my biggest junk food vice. Thankfully they aren't around all year.

jenny said...

I thought or figured you could do a handspring since you were a former cheerleader. I guess I didn't know that one.

The last one was hard to choose because I loved so many t.v. shows as a child. I was inspired and posted my three's today too :)

michelle said...

Ha ha on the dimples and general lack of secrets! I guess it's a good thing I opted out of the white pants recently, eh?

I think I already knew these things about you, but I enjoyed reading them anyway!

Kari said...

Oh I used to like Silver Spoons and Ricky Schroeder too!!

Diana said...

What a fun post. It's always fun to learn new things about you.
Yep I'll have to take this post idea.

Laurie said...

I would like to know how to play a musical instrument too. I can do extremely minimal piano b/c I didn't practice like I should have. I'm glad you did your list! It was great.

Libby said...

I will remember not to wear my white capris to the summer blogging party! So funny!

Do you have photoshop and you just want to know how to use it better? Or do you not have it at all? I absolutely love photoshop! I am a basic user of it, but I feel so pro when I even do my basic stuff. It is just so awesome! My husband is actually on his way to Salt Lake right now to go to a photoshop seminar for professionals. He is way beyond basic because he uses it everyday for his Graphic Design work, but he still wants to learn how to use it more. I have watched him work and I can't imagine there is more to be learned! I can't wait to see what he can do after this seminar! The program is so cool!

Amanda said...

Jill, I have some darling white pants over size 6 that look GREAT on me and I'm sure they would on you, too---they are BR and the cut is just right!!!

Bridget said...

I am laughing so hard about the white pants and jazz thing. Too funny!!

I really what to know how to use Photoshop better too. We bought "photoshop for dummies" book. Maybe that needs to be my summer project.

Amie said...

I feel honored to have made your list twice (I think the laughing makes up for the calling me an idiot!)

I also want to learn photoshop, which would first mean I had to get it. I also thought of Silver Spoons while writing my list.

Alison said...

I always love reading these kind of lists! Yay! Jill, you're great.

Amy said...

Here's to hoping you'll be working on the French VERY SOON!

Tasha said...

I love the fear of white pants! I totally agree! I do believe that Shawna Borg can still do a back handspring, we will have to ask her!

rebecca said...

I love the presentation - bite-size Jillisms. Too sweet.

Chanel Palmer said...

Great list.

As for white pants...to me it has noting to do with body size and everything to do with the thickness of the material. I see girls that have a good figure and use their white pants to show off their choice of underwear or tattoos. As gross as it is I can't help but stare- it's like driving past a car accident.

Anonymous said...

I am ROFL about the white pants being banned on anyone above size 6. BWahahaa! :P

Barb said...

I did learn new things about you.

I wasn't apathetic for my entire 20's, but I'd say I didn't appreciate the time I had 'before children'.

Elisa said...

Ha Ha Love Boat! I use to watch that every day after pre-school. I love that show. I feel the need to explain why a 4 year old was allowed to watch Love Boat...we were living in my Grandparents basement at the time, waiting for our home to be built, my mom had just had her 4th child. In a similar situation, I am sure my little girl would be watching General Hospital everyday:)

Amanda :-) said...

"Lack of secrets" Hahaha!
That's very Jane Austen-esque language, Jill!

I can't believe you can't do backsprings! That's the best way to multi-task, didn't you know?

*joke!*

My mum often says, "One of these days I'm going to meet myself coming the other way."

Interesting about the Cadburys Eggs...we've just had a Cadburys Factory Shop open near us! *wink*

melanie said...

Oh 10 bags of Cadbury on sale, what a find! People text while driving? That is just insane!

Love this list!

Laurie said...

Very revealing list. I love it.

I can relate to missing having no sense of fear (something happens when you have kids I think) and I also would like to learn Photoshop.

Great list!

Michelle Alley said...

I had such a crush on Ricky Schroeder - posters and all! This was really a cute idea - thanks for sharing!

collette said...

Strange to not know you were inactive early on in your marriage. I would agree on the top three shows as a kid even though my mother hated it when we watched Love Boat - I think she was just saying that because she felt she had to. I think she secretly enjoyed watching it.
I am tossing my white pants because I am certainly not a size 6! :)

You have quite a fan club, based on the number of comments!! I guess you can count me one of them. As far as I can tell, many of the things you wish to accomplish are fairly far along, but I enjoyed your list immensly. (An entertaining and indulgent break from customer proposals I'm WAY behind on! And no fear, you won't find me in a pair of white pants....it's just part of using good judgment for these legs.....Thanks for the entertaining words!
