Day 100

Since September, my class has been counting down to the 100th Day of School. This momentous occasion falls on Tuesday, February 13th (barring any more snow days or random acts of God). So, in an attempt to both honor this prestigious holiday and drag myself out of the murky pit I have chosen to dwell in for the last month or so...here is my Day 100 Project.

Upon reflection of my last comment I would like to add that I enjoyed reading this list. I did notice my name did not appear anywhere above. That made me frown.

100 things that make Kirk frown:

1. Reading 100 things that don't refer to him
2-100 See # 1

saul's cheech voice makes me giggle as well, but the theme song to coronation street makes me cringe... (unless that means that it is over)

great list steph... a lot of these things (minus the personal ones of course) brought up some different thoughts, emotions for me as well... great insight...

FYI Nacho..."Naked Dance" does NOT refer to you...

PS Nacho
The reason you did not make the list was because it was of the top 100 things that make me smile that are in reference to the five senses. I tried, but you did not make the taste, smell or touch list. The sight of you and the sound of your cowbell do make me smile, however. If it were a list of the top 100 PEOPLE that make me smile, you would have definately made at least the top 73.

tassy and raema... or at least they didn't when i checked and they did on kirks... not that it's a competition...

That wasn't the one I was referring to. Just a request can I get bumped up to 72. It was the fridges number.

I didn't say you were #73, I said you would be in the top 73. Ergo, you may be #72, you may be #33...

I love you and your list, and your children. PS Stephy, I haven't babysat in a bit and its kinda sucky, how about after march break you go on a five day vacation and let me have your kids. Good idea. Ps, i'm so pumped for creation. <3
