My 100th Blog Post

Ok, this is really my 110th post but I messed up because I was at 93 for the year of 2008 and forgot to add the 15 that I had for 2007, plus the 1 entry that I have so far for 2009 gave me a total of 109. So this is really my 110th post.

67. I love to shop.
68. I love to find things on sale or things that are greatly discounted.
69. Because of this I tend to buy things that really are not necessities.
70. And because I get excited about finding a “good deal” I tend to buy these “things” because I feel I can’t pass up this great deal (I need to work on this).
71. I love Ann Taylor clothes!
72. I love to drink TEA.
73. When it comes to dishes I prefer to wash them by hand than to load and unload a dishwasher (It is the least of my favorite things to do).

77. I enjoy doing crafty things, especially with my girls.
78. I am happy/sad that Amy will be in Kinder next year as I enjoy our time together during the day and will miss this next year.

87. I was on bed rest for almost 2 ½ months with Amy.
88. That was such a stressful and difficult time for me.
89. I was thankful at that time that my mom could come and stay with us to help me with Emily who was about 18 months old.
90. We would have loved to have more children but my body can’t handle the weight that I gain in pregnancy.
91. I gained with both girls approximately 55 to 60 pounds (with each).
92. I have always weighed less than 100 pounds all my life until 2 years ago I finally am in the 100’s now!
93. I really should be exercising regularly but have trouble finding time.
94. I’m a very trusting person, and I like almost everyone.
95. I usually assume the best about people and tend to give them the benefit of the doubt.
96. The down side of that is, I often share more than I should before I realize someone may not be trustworthy.
97. But on the plus side, I have lots of friends.
98. Relationships with family and friends mean the world to me, but I don't always do a good job showing it.
99. If I can keep my husband happy and content, and my children grow up to be godly, I will consider my life to be a worthwhile success.
100. This was a hard task coming up with a 100 things all about me. It took several hours of a few days to complete this list and now I can scratch this off my to do list!
