What a lovely thing to do, Kristi! Better than any present!
It's funny to hear your voice. I love the way you say 'toons' for 'tunes'. Being a Brit, I say 'tyyyoooons'.
For some reason, I thought you'd sound like the headteacher on the PaperClips film. Why do I think you are a Tennessee-ey-type person? Did you live there once? I can hardly understand that headteacher's accent anyway. LOL.
Kristi you are out of control with your creativity and thoughtfulness, thanks so much!!
1.what is your favorite post you have written on your blog?
It’s hard to say because they’re all kind of a blur, but one of my favorites was one I called Carrots and Toast. http://jmsmusings.blogspot.com/search?q=carrots+and+toast
2.what blog have you found lately that you really like?
I haven’t been exploring any new blogs lately because I already have to many to read, but one blog I really love is Kelly’s blog (http://thisterthaster.typepad.com/) because it’s insightful, funny, real and all-around fabulous.
3.what is your favorite book of all time? Angle of Repose by Wallace Stegner
4.what would you choose, go out with friends or stay home in the cozy and read?
It depends on the day, sometimes I love going out and being with friends, but most of the time I’d prefer to stay in the cozy and read. (Is that pathetic?)
5.how exited are you to come visit D.C. someday?
I’m so excited to visit D.C. (hopefully this fall). I’ve been there before, but we hardly did anything and it wasn’t with you, so this will be a whole new experience.
6.what country do you want to visit next?
Italy and Spain (they’re close to each other so I’m choosing two).
7.when the ultimate goodie craving comes on what do you want more than anything else?
I crave ice cream most of the time when I want a treat. I get shakes frequently and love every bite.
8.Are you having a good birthday? I’m having an excellent birthday.
Thanks for this amazing post, these tough questions and for the great videos!!
So cute! What a great idea, Kristi. So fun to see you and hear your voice. So many things to be grateful for! What a wonderful friendship. (And I loooooved the gifts you sent Jill!)
Okay, so it works now! I love love hearing the girls' voices, and yours too. I can't believe that you didn't cry or even get emotional reading your "stretches" because you know Jill. I did.
What a perfect post, just perfect Kristi!! I love all you have learned through your friendship that has lasted and lasted. I LOVE ALL the videos, the girls are darling! Caroline over and over is hilarious! So glad you gave up the perfectionist and posted anyway!
What a wonderful tribute to a wonderful friend. Your girls are beautiful and have the sweetest voices. How can you turn SJ down for anything? She is SO cute! It was so fun to hear your voice...you sound like Reese Witherspoon or maybe she sounds like you :) Truly a sweet gift for your dear friend.
You are so very thoughtful and original to create these videos for Jill! Thank you for sharing them with "us" also. Your girls are precious and it was neat to see you in "real" life. It sounds like you and Jill have a special friendship and have influenced each other's lives in many ways.
super cute idea Kristi- I love that you are a perfectionist and wish you could teach the rest of us perfectionists to be finishers too! Great insight into you! And again, super cute birthday post! HB Jill!
[Image]Today is Jill's Birthday. Her very own day. A day just for Jill and in my blog world it is her day all day!
Today instead of telling you a bunch of things I love about you, not that that would be hard, I thought I would share with you what is better in my life because I know you. So here you go.
(this was my 76th take, and the perfectionist in me wants to go back and fix my misreading of the cue cards, but the finisher in me is posting anyway)
Jill, I hope you have a wonderful birthday and you know how much all of us out here appreciate all of you do! Fill Jill's comment box up here!

How did you not laugh in the camera while filming the girls? They made me giggle-- they're just so adorable! What a great idea.
I always think it's interesting to hear a blogger's voice that you've never met. A little glimpse into who you are!
