So, I sometimes browse blogs when I am on my friends' sites and I noticed the trend of the "100 things about me" blog. I could not risk lagging behind in the blogging scene by omitting this from my own blog. I'll buy you lunch if you actually get to the end of this thing!
100. I have NEVER been one to fill out those "all about me" emails, so I don't know why I am doing this now...
99. I secretly love to read those "all about me" emails in hopes for some juicy, unknown gossip about my friends.
98. I've been married 5 wonderful years and have 2 wonderful kids.
97. My initials stayed the same after I got married.
96. I find my middle name, "Ann", rather boring.
95. I was born five days before Christmas.
94. I HATE getting birthday presents wrapped in red and green.
93. However, if my birthday feast includes the festive Peppermint Stick ice cream, I am very pleased.
92. I married my best friend.
91. I am fully aware that this is cliche, but it is completely true. My best friend that I fell completely in love with.
90. If someone would have told me one year before my wedding date that we would be married, I never would have believed them.
89. Once, when we were dating, we "morphed" into a picture of our future child on this machine at Gameworks...

Where people would not be hungry.
In places far and places near
No voilence would be here."

2. The two times I was grounded as a kid were for very weird things- The first was for sliding down our stairs on a huge chalkboard and crashing right through the wall. The second was for sneaking into a neighbor's garage to play with her kittens and almost giving her a heart attack when she found me in there. Fun times, Tia!
1. I will NEVER do another list like that again. But it was fun while it lasted...

I read it, I get lunch! Yahoo! By the way, it was not peer pressure from me, you wanted it too and thank Mason for giving me a laugh when he hit you in the head. Loved it!
PS, where was that picture of you and Ava, it's awesome but it looks too cold. Is that Portland?
Buy me lunch, witch.
