Buried the same dead dog 3 times.. Poor Peaches...
And I won't even ask what compelled you to stick a doorknob in your mouth.. Great list!!
Okay, now I want the stories behind your list.

I love it. What a wonderful idea, I think we should all make a list like that. I never liked the other one for the same reason, makes me feel like I've done nothing in this life. But I love yours - thanks for the inspiration!!
You're my idol! 100 things TWICE! It took me three months to write my 100 things, and they weren't nearly as interesting.
