I was going to do this post when I got to 100, but I did my 100th post on the prophet instead (I say it was a good choice, don't you?). So now I'm going to bore you with 101 things about me. I hope you don't fall asleep. I kept asking John for help, but apparently I'm not that exciting of a person because he couldn't think of anything either (anything that was appropriate, anyway).1. I shave every single day because hair on my legs bothers me.
2. My favorite thing to do in the whole world is dinner and a movie.
3. And I really enjoy movies. There's nothing more satisfying than seeing a movie you really enjoyed.
4. Infertility changed my life.
5. So did John's cancer. I'm now a lot more careful in the sun. And YOU should be too!
6. My hair turned curly during puberty. It was a very drawn out, hard experience.
7. And now my hair is not nearly as curly as it used to be and I miss it. I want my "impossible to comb out" curls back.
8. People tell me I have good skin, but what they don't realize is that I have really weird things happen to my skin like rashes and weird pigment spots.
9. I can't remember a time when I wasn't worried about my weight and trying to become smaller.
10. I dream all the time about eating all the food I want every single day and having there be no weight consequence.
11. I love all sorts of music. It makes me happy.
12. I sing
13. I sold Pampered Chef for two years and I now have a kitchen full of fabulous kitchen gadgets!

17 . I also really love giving birth.
18. Watching TV at night after the kids are asleep is one of my favorite things to do.
19. I love being "IN" to a show on TV. Lost, 24, American Idol, etc.

21. I have expensive tastes on a tight budget which really sucks sometimes.
22. I don't know how to swim.
23. I've been saved by a lifeguard a couple of times (NOT CPR though, thank goodness).
24. I can't water ski, but I've had several people think that THEY are the ones who will get me up. Hasn't happened yet.
25. When I ice skate or roller skate, I have a foot that doesn't work. It drags while the other one moves.
26. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I'm not really coordinated. You'll NEVER see me in a gym step class. I tried it once and I fell not once, but several times.
27. Driving somewhere I've never been before can put me in a full blown panic attack. I MUST have very specific directions, but even if I do, I white knuckle it the entire way.
28. I have good customer relations skills, but dealing with angry customers is not my favorite thing to do.
30. I never went to the prom.
31. The dances I DID go to were because my friend Kelly said no to so they asked me.
32. I failed the driving part of Driver's Ed. twice. I got 95% on my written though.
33. 6 days after I got my license, I crashed into my vice Principal's parked car, barfed on her lawn and cried as I stood pathetically in my Dairy Queen uniform with exploded blizzard all over my shirt and visor.
34. I have ALWAYS loved babies. And that includes baby animals.
35. I have dimples. They used to ONLY be on my cheeks.
36. I'd like to read more than I do, but when I read I get sucked in and can't get anything else done.
37. Blogging can have the same effect as reading for me.
38. I can type 80 words a minute. It used to be 90 when I worked. That number is most likely WITH mistakes though.
39. I like people who are REAL and don't try to pretend they're something they're not.
40. Doctors once almost removed my appendix by accident.
41. I'm a night person and I have a hard time falling asleep.
42. I never had a cavity until I was 19.
43. Dentists compliment me on my great teeth, but to me, they're not so great because they're not straight and it bothers me.
44. I want braces, lasik and a tummy tuck one day.
45. I'm obviously an advocate for plastic surgery. If it's going to make you feel better, than do it. But don't pretend that it's natural because that's just annoying.
46. I talk with my hands.

64. I would give almost anything to see an Oprah show.
65. And I DVR Oprah EVERY DAY.
66. In my high school days, I saw Legends of the Fall a gazillion times and had a laminated Brad Pitt poster hanging on my door. My sister Joyce and I saw it 3 times in the theater.
67. Pretty Woman is my favorite movie (Both of these movies are rated R which shows you how evil I am.)
