I think you pretty much summed it up with the yoga pants and mashed potatoes declaration
Now, to eat mashed potatoes while WEARING yoga pants? Perfection!

I agree with your first 3 100%. My husband and kids think I’m nuts (which may be true…however) I Totally dislike anything clown-like, clownresembly, anything. ICK! You are my soul sister boo mama, and I WISH I were from the south. Maybe someday :o)
May 27th, 2008 at 12:12 pm
Number five made me CRACK UP.
I just love this post!
May 27th, 2008 at 12:18 pm
Aw, Boo, skits are fun!!
May 27th, 2008 at 12:32 pm
Uh, don’t make me call you out over #14…because I believe I have witnessed you perform in at least one skit, little hootie!~ Am I wrong?
:)
May 27th, 2008 at 12:42 pm
hmmmm.. post is dated 25th, most of the comments are from the 26th and it just pseted to my Google Reader on the 27th. Strange!
May 27th, 2008 at 1:03 pm
I agree with all but one…I blame that one only on pregnancy hormones. Right now I seriously would choose the fruit over chocolate. Crazy. i know.
Can you come rip it at my house?
May 27th, 2008 at 1:56 pm
Great idea! I’ll have to steal it and act like it was my own. But, of course I’ll link back to you. Because you need the readership,right? ;)
You always give me a smile, Sophie.

HI-larious. I needed that.
One thing I will never do is say, “Nah, we don’t need gravy with those biscuits.”
Because I can make a mean gravy. My 4-year old says it’s dewishus.
May 27th, 2008 at 2:16 pm
Love your website and I love this list. Being an older person, I have to, I am afraid go with never say never, because you never know!!!!
P.S. I also dislike clowns
May 27th, 2008 at 3:47 pm
Wow. You really have a thing against clowns and skits, don’t you? I actually have been a clown and do the whole birthday party and balloon animal thing, and I write skits. I guess we wouldn’t get along real well. How sad.
May 27th, 2008 at 3:52 pm
I will never…
1. Stop WISHING I could call out of the dressing room, “Hey, this size 2 is too big…”
2. Be able to stop reminding my husband and family of the truth of #1.
Issues? Yep.
May 27th, 2008 at 4:11 pm
Stop thinking of Bean and Peanut as “my babies.”
Stop wishing they’d bring back The West Wing.
Tire of hearing, “Mama? I love you.”
May 27th, 2008 at 5:24 pm
I LOL at “Ask my husband if we can wear matching shirts.”
I did it on my blog. Thanks for the idea.
May 27th, 2008 at 5:40 pm
fun list! i posted my own twenty thing. check it out!
May 27th, 2008 at 8:24 pm
This was fun! I did it too. Check it out on my blog :)
May 27th, 2008 at 9:10 pm
Boo–I LOVE your posts!
I would never—
1) stop watching HBO and Showtime after my kids go to bed.
2) do public speaking.
3) feel guilty telling my kids there were no more Reese’s Pieces when in fact I still had half a bag in my night stand.
4) stop wanting to move back to Texas to be near by family and high school ya-yas.
May 27th, 2008 at 11:25 pm
Just for the record (can you hear this too many times from too many people??), I have a crush on you. In the nicest of ways–no need to run and hide.
Somehow, your random listing both amuses and delights and leaves my head cocked sideways going, “Hmmmm….??”
And grinning. Always grinning :)
(Just in from a too-quick trip to the beach, catching up with just a few b-mates before bed :) ).
May 27th, 2008 at 11:43 pm
I LOVED this. TOO funny, my friend!
May 28th, 2008 at 7:54 am
This made me laugh. I did a variation on my blog as well.
May 28th, 2008 at 2:21 pm
I really liked your list. Especially #16 and #19!
May 28th, 2008 at 2:55 pm
Cute list! I did mine at my blog on http://www.icrafty.com
What’s wrong with clowns? I loved teaching my youth group clown skits. You would not imagine the things you can pull out of teens with a ton of make-up and colorful hair!
May 28th, 2008 at 2:57 pm
Glad to know I am not the only one who is freaked out by The Clowns.
There’s just something very wrong about hiding behind all of that makeup, frizzy red hair and a plastic nose. They are hiding something. I just know they are.

Okay, here’s the url, if you’re interested. :)

I will never vote Democrat.
May 28th, 2008 at 7:35 pm
I never say never, because God just loves to prove me wrong. But things I’ll probably never do:
1. Wear a thong bikini with a seashell bra top.
2. Live north of the Mason/Dixon line.
3. Take algebra again, you know, just for fun.
4. Stop being afraid of clowns and mimes (or annoyed by them.)
5. Have just one junk drawer.
6. Be a finalist on “So you think you can dance?”
7. Get tired of watching “The Princess Bride”.
8. Not laugh when someone farts in public. (I am very mature)
9. Wish my butt was bigger.
10. Juggle chainsaws.
11. Be asked to speak at Harvard.
12. Not want to paint a white wall.
13. Spit on a napkin to clean my child’s face. (Oh, wait. Nevermind.)
14. Breakdance.
15. Vacuum my cat.
16. Not have at least 3 books to read.
17. Spend my summers in the Hamptons.
18. Drink tequila on an empty stomach (again).
19. Enjoy gardening in summertime.
20. Forget the price paid at Calvary.
May 28th, 2008 at 8:01 pm
LOVE your list!
I’d have to add…
Stop craving fried potatoes at all hours of the night.
Fly our entire family, anywhere.
Spend more than $30 on a pair of shoes.
Watch a scary movie. (I get nightmares.)
Allow someone to know how gray I really am at 30-years-old.
May 28th, 2008 at 11:00 pm
“Red, Red Wi-i-i-i-ine…” Thanks for getting that song stuck in my head now. Is there one I can help stick you with, maybe? ;)
May 29th, 2008 at 3:07 pm
I loved reading everyone’s comments as well your list!!
Most of mine have been mentioned however;
I will never be able to say I’ve got it all together!
May 30th, 2008 at 6:48 pm
How fun was this? And how did I miss it? I found a link to it on someone else’s blog. My fave was #8. And girl, if we were neighbors, somehow I just KNOW that given time, I could get you to do that. It would make you feel so fine.
May 30th, 2008 at 6:52 pm
Oh… and something I will never do…
I will never wish I couldn’t sit with you and eat some fried chicken while I watch you rock your Fundana.
And I will never believe bloglines is keeping me up to date with you. I’ve missed so much!
