100th Post Already??



It seems to be a tradition that on your 100th post you post 100 things about yourself. I can't believe I have already had 100 posts.... but Blogger doesn't lie... so here goes:

  1. I am starting NURSING SCHOOL in 1 week!!
  2. I am SOOOO nervous about going back to school since I have been out of school for 5 years
  3. I already have a Bachelors degree in Psychology from Wake Forest University.
  4. I did not use my degree.... hence why I am going back to school in 1 week!!
  5. I worked in property management at a luxury apartment home community before deciding to go back to school to become a nurse.
  6. I currently work as a CNA at a hospital
  7. My job is not the most glamorous job in the world and the pay kind of stinks but I am learning a lot.
  8. I cannot wait for football season, it is my favorite time of the year.
  9. We have a group of about 20 people that we tailgate with every year.
  10. I enjoy the tailgate more than the actual game
  11. Sometimes we tailgate for over 8 hours straight
  12. I love living in the South and being a Southerner
  13. I love sweet tea
  14. I love southern accents and country music
  15. I think every southern girl (or any girl in general) should have a strand of her grandmother's/mother's pearls
  16. I have a couple of strands
  17. I have a stuffed animal named Oatmeal that I have owned since I was born that sits next to my bed on the floor
  18. I will never get rid of Oatmeal. I don't care that he has a hole in the back of his head when my cat once attacked him or that he is losing his nose.
  19. I love to go shopping even if I don't buy anything
  20. Sometimes retail therapy is the best kind of therapy out there
  21. While I was trying to thing of 100 things to tell you guys, my husband went downstairs and made me this:
  22. It was really yummy!
  23. Did I mention I have a great husband?
  24. We met our junior year of college at Wake Forest University.
  25. We were both pledging a coed service fraternity and fell in love (awww...)
  26. We dated for exactly 5 years, 6 months and 7 days (5,6,7) before we got engaged
  27. He proposed to me on a surprise trip to Jamaica (he didn't know about the 5,6,7 thing)
  28. We got married on 06/07/08 (6,7,8).
  29. On the day we got hitched we had been together for 6 years, 7 months, and 17 days (17 days could be read like 1+7=8 so you get 6, 7, 8 again)
  30. This was not planned either
  31. I turned 25 (which I think is a significant bday) on 05/06/07 (5,6,7)
  32. I like the numbers thing
  33. Especially since my husband is an accountant
  34. My husband graduated a year after me since he got his Master's degree
  35. He is probably one of the smartest people I know
  36. He is currently doing a crossword puzzle next to me.
  37. He thinks I am obsessed with blogging
  38. He may be right
  39. I never had anything monogrammed before getting married
  40. The reason why: my initials were ADD and I didn't like people making fun of me saying... haha, you have ADD
  41. Now I love getting things monogrammed. I especially like my last initial "W". It is a really pretty letter to get monogrammed... some letters are ugly, but not my letter
  42. We have a sweet fur baby named Gracie
  43. She has over 50 outfits (I have lost count at his point)
  44. She actually loves wearing clothes and gets excited when I go and pick something out of "her drawer"
  45. Yes, she has her own drawer... where else could I put all of those clothes?
  46. We had a fish for 3 years named Hannah.
  47. She passed away a few weeks ago and we buried her in a golf ball box in the backyard.
  48. This is the 2nd fish we have buried
  49. I hope we aren't starting pet cemetery out there.
  50. Speaking of pet cemetery, I LOVE horror movies.
  51. My favorite movie of all time is the movie "Psycho".
  52. I had/have a mild obsession with Anthony Perkins (Norman Bates in Psycho).
  53. Old black and white movies are the best
  54. I love going to the movie theater by myself and getting a big box of popcorn just for me
  55. I also love to read
  56. I read the same books over and over and over and over....
  57. I don't have a favorite book
  58. I have read the twilight series 4 times (all 4 books)
  59. I am so excited to see New Moon
  60. I have a group of friends that have already planned to go to the midnight showing
  61. I have a great family
  62. My father passed away when I was 5 (maybe one day I will tell you all about that)
  63. My mother remarried to a wonderful man that is a great stepfather. I am very lucky.
  64. I also got 2 stepbrothers in the process. That makes 4 brothers total. (plus 2 BILs)
  65. I am the proud aunt of 12 nephews and nieces (8 boys, 4 girls)
  66. My immediate family members all live within 1 hour of each other so we get together a lot
  67. Justin has a brother in Washington State and Virginia. His parents live in FL. We aren't able to get together as a whole unit very often.
  68. I have had the baby itch...
  69. but I don't think I am ready to have children yet
  70. I do want to have 2 to 3 children (one day)
  71. I would love twins (they don't run in our family... darn)
  72. I know blogging will be a great resource when I do become a mom
  73. For now you get to see lots of pictures of my fur baby, Gracie
  74. I love taking pictures
  75. A lot of my friends get annoyed at my incessant picture taking
  76. I tell them to get over it... hehe!
  77. I am horrible with directions
  78. I get lost using the navigation system
  79. I am LEFT-HANDED.
  80. I immediately feel closer to people when I find out they are left handed too
  81. I hate talking on the phone and I am really bad about calling people back
  82. I wish I could change that
  83. I love getting "real mail". People don't write letters anymore... it is sad
  84. I love getting dressed up and "going out"
  85. I love trying new foods
  86. I will try anything once
  87. What doesn't kill you makes you stronger, right?
  88. This list is kind of crazy
  89. It's my 100th post... I can post like I want to
  90. I want to learn to sew better and to learn how to quilt
  91. I have a sewing machine.
  92. So far all I have made are beanbags for cornhole and hemmed a few pants
  93. Do you know what cornhole is? Its a tailgating game and its lots of fun. Maybe I will post about that closer to tailgating season
  94. I love reality TV... I can't get enough of it
  95. DVR is the best invention in the world
  96. I wish my house could clean itself
  97. Blogging is so rewarding
  98. I can't believe I have 68 followers
  99. I love meeting all of these new people. What a blessing you all are!
  100. I hope that wasn't too painful and that you learned a few new things about me!
