Wow, we could practically be sisters… the kind that actually get along!
14, 21, 22, 23, 25, 28, 29, 30, 31, 36, and on and on and on… although I’m a HORRIBLE, TERRIBLE, JUST PLAIN RIDICULOUS procrastinator. And I’d love to try being a vegetarian, but two days without a form of meat and I develop a nervous twitch. Oh, and I’m SOOO with you on 92, but not for reason #94. That’s just rotten down to the core.
Loved this list, and it’s awesome to get to know you a little better!

I totally remember the Secret of NIMH! I had forgotten it existed until I just read this.
Warcraft can be addicting! I had to wean my husband off of it, he was playing it so much.

The non-fat version of the carmel macchiato isn’t toooo bad for you, or so I tell myself.
great list!

I love Caramel macchiato’s. I’m glad I don’t live close to a coffee shop or I would have one every day even if I turned into a gelatinous glob.
I love learning things about people, thanks for the list.

Ah, Secret of Nimh. I actually heard it on a tape first then saw the movie…I used to make my grandmother play it in the car over and over…i cried when the little girl mouse sang….
I’m going to have to come up with 100 things.
Thanks for leaving such a great post on my site the other day. I truly appreciate you sharing.

Glad to know more about you! I have yet to do my “100 things” yet. I’m not sure if I’m THAT interesting though.

Why did you have two last names? Were you adopted? Friends are just as hard to find as boyfriends/husbands. It’s so hard to put your trust into them especially if one has burned you before! I also noticed you were pregnant before you got married…naughty naughty. This was neat to read. Have a great day!

I agree with you on 14,23,32,36,38,40,44,45,46,47,48,49,
