Well, I don't have much to post, so I thought I'd fall back on something I've seen done on some friend's blogs - the 100 Things About Me! Or more appropriately, 100 things you never wanted to know about me....
1. I had braces for 3 1/2 years. Got em off Senior-flippin-year of high school!
2. I love old school sports cars, like the Ferrari Dino. That's hot.

4. I LOVE the beach!!!!! I miss the smell of the air and the salty wind!
5. As a kid, I used to tell people that my hair was NOT red, it's strawberry blonde. Get it right! Gosh!
6. I've broken my left arm twice.
7. Met Gwen Stefani and got backstage passes for one of her concerts.
8. I don't care about "saving" the environment. Seriously.... we all know what's gonna happen LONG before the mother earth crumbles because of pollution. ;)

11. I got pregnant after we had been married for 6 months!
12. I love to cook gourmet food! And....I love to eat it even more!

15. I HATE lima beans!

91. My grandma tried to get me to eat 'bread'n milk' for lunch when I was a child, arguing that "it all tastes the same in your stomach". I'd rather taste my food BEFORE is gets to my stomach, thank you.
92. I LOVE Allison Dayton's jewelry!
93. I hardly ever drink soda, so when I do, I usually can't handle the carbonation and I look like an old woman painfully throwing back some hard liquor.

95. Every time we get in the car, Max and I play "I Spy".

So I've been up since 5 and couldn't go back to sleep, so naturally I'm turning to blogs for entertainment. I'm glad yours fulfilled my need. I've thought about doing one of these posts and have started listing in my head things I would put. Yours are sweet.
I'm totally with ya on: 8 (had to laugh outloud cuz I think similarly), 32, 42, 81, 83, 85, 86 & 87.
And I think these are awesome: 7 (so jealous! I idolize her!), 26, 35, 52, 68, 76 90 & 96.
Good read!
WOW! I don't think I could come up with that many things about me! Good post!!
Now I know all about you...and now so does everyone else and can stalk you properly!
And I've just been giving you crap about August Rush ok? Just because I'm a heartless jerk doesn't mean that you are a nerd. ;)
Wow, I'm not sure I could even think of 100 things about me.
I don't love ice cream either and sometimes I get treated as a leper for it! It's not that good!
And my middle fingers have an outward curve too. I always thought it was strange, but....maybe THEY'RE the strange ones right?
Well done! Those were really fun to read! I love things like this, it really helps me get to know people! Number 96 is especially funny!
Holy Cow! We are freakishly alike. Even down to the ear nickel allergy. How weird is that?
I am totally cracking up at your mom's post-it on your journal. That's cruel!
Sheez! Even I only knew half that stuff! Now... how to use if for evil?......
K, that was actually really entertaining to read. thanks.
I'm def going to try Special K w/strawberries and go see August Rush.(never heard of it?) Someday I'm going to make you my favorite peach pie - yummmmmm. And I can't believe you were born in the hallway?? wow?! Tell us all that story, would ya - or save it for Bunko. And I can't EVEN believe you were a tomboy growing up- I'm gonna ask for proof on that please. Just can't picture it. And BTW, I'm SEVERLY allergic to Kiwi, so please keep clear, k? :)
Hahaha that was good em. That is so sad tha mom put a sticky note in your journal!! i am DEF hiding mine for sure now...scary! if she finds it, there's going to be like a sticky note on every page! AHHH! did you actually go "see her"? what was it about? did you write bad stuff about mom or something? lol :D
It was so fun to read about you. I'm totally gonna do that on my blog (I have a problem with copying other peoples' good ideas). We actually have a lot in common. Very interesting!
booyah- Indian Princess blood for life. I'll never get tired of bragging about that.
Dr. Pepper lipsmackers and peach anything are the bomb dot com!
And who are these psychos that don't like August Rush!?
Holy smokes girl!!! Way to go, I guess I will make a *pathetic* attempt to come up with 100 things...I may shrink it down to just 50.
high five on the small fingers..my poor little ring finger sits at a measly size 4. Pocohantas pride baby. he he lame I know.. but I love it.
If I didn't know you, I would WANT to know you after that fun list! No wonder you have so many great friends--you are so fun!
Totally love the post-it note in the journal bit!
Awesome job at finding 100 things to say, and they all were interesting!
Wow! That's a lot of stuff. That is so cool that you are related to Pocahontas.
Finally found time to read this post, and I'm glad I did! It definitely put a smile on my face!
I don't think I could think of 100 things about myself, maybe 10.
YOU ALREADY GOT A PAINTING FROM TOM and.....wow... that's all i have to say.... wow
