The big 100

YEAH!!!!! Today is my 100th post in case you didn't know that. In case you've missed the last 2 weeks leading up to this pinnacle point in my bloggy life. If you are new to my blog. WELCOME. Big bloggy hugs and high fives all around. Ok, I'm sorry this isn't that blog. I'm not the happy cheer person shoving rays of sunshine down your sore throat. I'm usually much less EXCITED then this. If you doubt me read some of my older stuff. I swear I'm not the over the top perfect life blogger person.

so I'm going to attempt a 100 things about me list. As I'm not sure of the normal criteria for such a list I've decided to do it Amy McMean style. It'll be 100 things about me such as things I like, my behavior, things i hate, my personality, whatever fills up 100 things. Since I'm insanely honest I'll admit to the fact that I've had some help with this list. My best friend Kitty. Has helped me with some things. Look I'm sure I could have come up with some really funny stuff about myself, but I'm just so modest. So I asked her to help me compile a list, asked, begged same difference. So Below is my list of 100 things that will never help you in your life. But now you'll know them about ME!

This was a load of Awesome-YOU-ness! What a great list! I saw a whole lot of me in it, so you could indeed grow up to be like me (though why you'd want to is beyond me!).

Congrats on your 100th post! Even if you're not that excited, you did it proud!!!
