100 things about me


1. I am married to the most wonderful, funny, sweet man who makes me laugh daily (ok, everyone else thinks he's cranky, especially his parents, but what do they know)

2. We have no children, but I have a cat who's about 15 years old now (she's my "little senior citizen")
3. I love old, vintage, and pretty things from the Victorian age thru the 50s
4. Antique malls are my favorite place to shop, while I detest the mall (everything is just too new & pricey!)

5. I eat too much cheese--way to much, well a girl has to have some vices, right?
6. I also eat too many sweets...trying to work on cutting that way down...hello Weight Watchers
7. My favorite flower is the rose, but all flowers make me happy

8. I can't choose a favorite color- how could one be so much better than the rest? But I admit I adore PINK! And my husband would say I adore GREEN! (must be the Irish in me)
9. I enjoy looking at all the talent on Etsy & wishing I had time to do more crafts
10. I enjoy scrapbooking, decorative painting & cross stitch
11. I would like to try collage art...I find mixed media awful and yet intriguing at the same time

12. I'm shy, but not nearly as shy as I was when I was younger
13. I don't like talking on the phone--probably because I work at a switchboard :)
14. I sometimes think I miss my 20s, but then I realize I was confused, immature and didn't know who I was
15. Old men who walk around whistling songs to themselves make me smile
16. Old ladies with red lipstick and too much rouge make me smile

25. I'd like to learn to be a great photographer (and all my blog-readers agree I need to learn!)
26. I love God (this list, by the way, is NOT in order of importance!)
27. The smell of anything pork or chicken makes me sick
28. I am a "pescetarian"....I eat fish but no "meat" (not a raving PETA person here...I miss the taste of steak...I just can't digest it)
29. I love vintage material and vintage buttons
30. I loved shoes with a passion till my feet grew to size 9 and it became too difficult to find cute shoes in my size

41. I think clowns are evil and creepy
42. I want to paint every room in my house a different color
43. My first job was at a fast food place while in college, that only lasted 6 months...too much work between college & work-study too...and I hated smelling like food! YUCK, but it made me appreciate how hard those people have to work for little money
41. I don't have a favorite movie, but I love romantic comedies and action comedies best

48. I'm 39.999 and feel like I'm finally getting to know my true self and what I enjoy and want from my life (you didn't think I was going to tell that true # did you?)
49. As soon as we win the MegaMillion, I'm quitting my job and staying at home to work on all my crafts :-)
50. I am a "farmgirl at heart"....I hang out at maryjanesfarm.org

51. I am "back in college" part-time taking classes in Deaf Interpretation while working full-time at a large University...not easy to do!

57. I love tea and anything tea-related

If anyone actually made it all the way to the end of this, thanks for reading! :) I may finish the 100 someday, but for now this seems like plenty. A girl has to keep an air of mystery about her, right? Geez, I can't let out ALL my secrets at once!
