    Oh Mum, I am cracking up at this.

    Other people only think Aquarians are strange if they didn’t grow up with one for a mother.

  • River January 17, 2008, 11:38 am

    These are the ones I like:
    17; my mum was 26 until I was 26, then she suddenly was 35 and stayed 35 until the day she died aged 78.
    67+68; my daughters children were at her wedding, gorgeous at 2 and 4 years old.
    82; I remember carrying buckets to fill the bath.
    99; vacuuming sucks……
    Congratulations on making the hundred.

  • Bettina January 17, 2008, 12:36 pm

    woot!! You did it!!lol,

  • Xbox4NappyRash January 17, 2008, 6:37 pm

    That’s all actually quite sweet.

    You demented wench…

  • Marylin January 17, 2008, 7:22 pm

    phew, you did it! great post 🙂 oh jeez that means I’m going to have to think about my 100 things soon… i’ve got about 75ish posts already. eeeek!

  • Frogdancer January 17, 2008, 8:20 pm

    Aquarians are loopy. It’s true. I’m a Virgo, so of course I’m correct.

    Just thought I’d pop in and say hi to another froggy blogger. I found you via Lightening. I couldn’t face the 100 things about you post when I reached my 100 post milestone a few weeks ago, so I wrote about blogging instead.

    One thing that sets us apart… your frogs are evidently real. Mine are metaphorical.

    Great blog!

  • TinkingBell January 17, 2008, 8:43 pm

    Of Course Aquarians are special (its MY birthday on the 30th) my husband is an aquarian too – but he’s Feb – so he’s not as special. Both our children are Leos. Both our children were supposed to be virgos.
    I’m glad they’re not – they’d think my housekeeping was crap! Instead they’ll just worry about their hair! Happy 100th!

  • Maddy January 17, 2008, 9:06 pm

    Controvercial and complicated, love it.
    Best wishes

  • LceeL January 17, 2008, 9:19 pm

    I’m not sure I could ever do that. 10 maybe. Or I might stretch it our to 20. But 100. Never. I’m not that interesting.

  • TANYA January 17, 2008, 9:59 pm

    hey…pretty cool. Was hard to read, eyes were going really fast.

    my eyes change colour too. When I’m upset they go bright yellow, cold they go brown and angry or drunk they go green. They are usually yellow with a green ring around them.

    I agree with the not killing animals unless you’re going to eat them thing. I tell Nathan all the time. ‘Don’t hit that animal in the car unless you want to eat it!’ One day he accidentally hit a kangaroo and carried it all the way home, then gave it to the dog.

  • Julie January 17, 2008, 11:32 pm

    I am so glad I didn’t know about “100 things about yourself” when I hit post 100.

    This was very funny…I started it on google reader, and it only listed the first 10.5…which means the last line was:

    11. I gave up

    Until I came over to your blog, I thought you had done ten of them and given up…

  • Veronica January 18, 2008, 10:13 am

    I tagged you for a meme. Ner ner.

  • BenefitScroungingScum January 18, 2008, 10:24 am

    Heehee, I tried to start my own religion in high school too. It was saying I was going to run a brothel for my career that really upset ’em though! BG x

  • frog ponds rock... January 19, 2008, 12:20 am

    Marylin: EEEk indeed…It is a biggy, that’s for sure..but it isn’t that hard once you get started.. I had little notes to myself.. like veronica/flowergirl to jog my memory.. But once I started to write it down it just sort of flowed..

    Hiya Bendy.. hehehe a brothel.. I caused enough trouble with my own religion.. and the fact that I insisted that god was a woman.. poor old Sister Lecia *sigh* I was a cow of a kid…

  • psychicgeek.com January 19, 2008, 1:23 am

    congratulations! quite a feat to do it all in one day. I’ve had mine done for ages, but fear I will forget when my 100th post comes about.

  • baby~amore' January 19, 2008, 1:48 am

    you crack me up too … can see why the apple doesn’t fall far from the tree (Veronica cracks me up too – you both have an insane sense of humour)

    I can relate to a few – many of your 100 things. Glad you stopped smoking and that you are older than me .. probably wiser What you do for 200 ?

  • tiff January 19, 2008, 2:02 am

    That was bloody incredible but you managed to get away without telling us too much about yourself, me thinks.

  • Joh January 19, 2008, 3:49 pm

    My mum is an aquarian too Veronica.
    42 is my favourite age so far.
    I tagged you a couple of days ago, but forgot to let you know. Sorry about that.

  • frog ponds rock... January 19, 2008, 10:52 pm

    psychic: heheheh I will remind you then..

    trish I am going to pretend that I have forgotten about my 200th when it is time..

    mmmm tiff…

    Gee thanks Joh, I will nip on over and have a look…

  • HRH January 20, 2008, 3:44 pm

    The answer 42 was fun. I loved the list in a poetic and interesting way. I don’t think I could have held my own attention for 100 things about myself!

  • Veronica January 22, 2008, 6:52 am

    Looky at all your comments on this post! I feel so proud. Is that weird?

  • fitcat January 23, 2008, 1:15 am

    I can’t stop laughing over the plastic trees! The looks on their faces must have been priceless!!

    We have a dual cab ute…we managed to do some off-road driving when I was working on my thesis field research out in the bush and we want to go to Fraser or Bribie or Moreton but it’s too hard to get there with Peter’s travel restrictions (from his work)!
