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...


  1. I have never broken a bone...
  2. Unless you count my nose which my mom says I broke when I was a baby and fell out of my crib. Lots of people don't count the nose because they say it's cartilage - tomato, tomato?

  16. I'm neither a night person or a morning person.
  17. When I was in 5th grade I sang, "Thy Word" in front of my entire school and pee'd my pants.

Happy 3rd Blogoversary! 1000 posts...nearly 1 post/day...that's impressive!

I enjoyed reading your list. I laughed when I read that you, too, drink too much Crystal Light (Raspberry Tea is my current fav)...a girl can only take in so much water. I also knew that my future husband wanted to become a doctor. I remember thinking "how wonderful"...and while, I still think it's wonderful, I just didn't know what 'we' were signing up for. ;-) And your dream vacation sounds so dreamy...I'd push for it as a 'graduation' present. ;-)

PS. It's Friday...how did weigh in go today?

he, he, he! When I saw that you were going to write 100 things about yourself, I didn't believe it. Then I saw you weren't kidding and wasn't going to read them all, but started anyway and made it to the end!

Congrats on your 1000th post! Fun to read your 100 things! :) I went skydiving but bungee jumping was too scary for me!

Wow - 1000 posts! Happy Blogiversary! Loved the list and we have a ton of things in common that I didn't even realize before. I especially love how you tell Joseph the same stories over and over...and how it drives him nuts that you digress. We married the same kind of man...Mike often gives me the "keep going" sign when I tell a story. :) But without us, dinners with friends would be booooring. LOL
