1000th post!

This is my 1000th post!! Amazing. I'm amazed that I have thought of 1000 things to blog about. Okay I'm not that amazed. Actually I'm not amazed at all. I was the girl that through my entire school career got a minus (as opposed to a check, or better yet a PLUS!) in the 'Talks Only with Permission' category. Hmmm. Who would have thought that would come in handy someday?

I digress.

This month is also my 3 year bloggy-versary. 3 years of blogging is pretty much a miracle for a girl that has serious issues with follow-through! If there would have been a 'Follows through with everything she starts' category, I would probably have gotten a minus as well...hmmm.

So, in honor of my 1000 post, I thought that I would write 1000 things about me.

SIC!

I seriously would never bore you with that. I'm not that egocentric cruel. I am, however, going to bore you 100 Things About Me. I never did that little right of passage when I did my 100th post, so I thought I'd do it now. I just hope I can think of 100 things.

Here goes...
