100th Post!

I just realized that I had 99 posts and that this one is my 100th. I decided to do a 100 Things About Me post in honor of this milestone. So, in no particular order, 100 Things About Me.

23. I am one of three children.

24. Besides my twin sister, I also have an older brother.

25. I love to read.

26. I get antsy if I don't have a book I'm currently reading.

27. I will reread books if I enjoyed them the first time around.

28. I am often disappointed the second time I read the book because it's not as good as I remembered it to be.

29. I am trying to declutter my house by rereading books and selling the "not-as-good-as-I-remembered-them" ones to Half Price Books.

30. Even if a book is really bad, I will almost always finish it.

31. Almost every book that I have left unfinished has been non-fiction.

32. When I was younger I would read in the car all the time.

33. Once I missed my bus stop because I was reading and didn't notice.

34. I can't read in the car any more because it makes me carsick.

35. When I'm pregnant, I get carsick much more easily.

36. I can usually knit in the car without getting carsick.

37. I'm a self-taught knitter (sort of).

38. I learned to knit by reading an article in Martha Stewart Living.

39. I find knitting to be very relaxing.

40. If I knit while watching TV, I feel less lazy because I'm being "productive."

41. When there's nothing good on TV or I'm too lazy to find something, I just put in an old favorite movie and watch that instead.

42. My favorite movie for background to knitting or crafting is French Kiss.

43. I knit mainly with acrylic yarn--it's affordable and easy to care for.

44. I buy most of my yarn at craft stores.

45. The thought of hand knit socks bothers me a bit because most of them need to be hand washed.

46. I worry that hand washed socks would not get truly clean.

47. I'm really bad at getting stains out of clothes.

48. I currently have a pile of stained baby clothes waiting to be saved. They are probably permanently ruined.

49. I just recently joined Facebook because I was invited to join a group from my high school graduating class.

50. I find the whole thing rather addictive.

51. I got asked to be "friends" with my first boyfriend from 6th grade.

52. That boyfriend asked me out because I said "hi" to him.

53. I then dumped that first boyfriend because once I said I would go out with him he was too shy to talk to me again.

54. I broke up with that first boyfriend to date his best friend.

55. His best friend dumped me because I refused to kiss him.

56. I didn't have my first kiss until 3 years later when I was 15.

57. I didn't have another boyfriend until 7 years later when I was 19.

58. I married that boyfriend after dating him for just shy of 5 years.

59. When we first started dating, I had mono.

60. We didn't kiss for two weeks because I didn't want to give him mono.

61. We've been married for 7 1/2 years.

62. I am still amazed every day that I found such a wonderful man.

63. In college, I was the sweetheart at his fraternity.

64. Before we started dating, I went to a date party at his fraternity and won an erotic banana eating contest. Don't judge me, it was just a banana.

65. When we got married, I was petrified that the erotic banana eating contest story would somehow come up at our rehearsal dinner.

66. Once in college, my husband and I split a bottle of bourbon.

67. I made a complete fool of myself and ended up trying to start a fight with an entire fraternity.

68. If I'm going to drink, my drink of choice is a bourbon and ginger.

69. My parents' were okay with me drinking alcohol at home from the age of 14 or so.

70. This totally freaked me out and I never really drank until the summer after my freshman year of college.

71. When I was in college, I usually chose to hang out with a group of guy friends rather than female friends.

72. I really miss hanging out with guy friends now that I'm out of college.

73. Although I miss my guy friends, I'm really grateful for the close female friends that I have now.

74. Even though I always did well in school, my only true ambition in life was to be a mom.

75. Sometimes I feel that I should be doing more to help make the world a better place.

76. My biggest goal for my son is that he grows up to be a confident, kind and caring person.

77. I taught third grade for one year.

78. Classroom management was NOT my strength.

79. I had a student who told me he wished he had a gun so he could shoot me.

80. I worked as a Director of Education at a Sylvan Learning Center for 5 years.

81. I feel I was really good at that job. I loved it!

82. I feel really grateful that I've been able to be home full-time with my son for the last two years.

83. I might have gone stir crazy being at home if it wasn't for a great group of moms that I met at a breastfeeding support group.

84. Two years later I see at least one of those moms every week.

85. When we move, I really hope that I can find another group of moms to hang out with--for John's sake as much as for mine.

86. I can't believe that I haven't gone back and deleted #64.

87. I can type really well without looking at the keyboard.

88. When I was about 10 years old I thought it was really cool to write this sentence over and over using my mom's typewriter: Now is the time for all good men to come to the aid of their country.

89. I wonder if you think this post is really boring.

90. I know there must be more interesting things to share about myself, but I can't think of a single one of them.

91. I hate to exercise.

92. Luckily, I've always been thin and have good metabolism.

93. When I graduated from high school, I still weighed less than 100 lbs.

94. When I was pregnant with my first son, I put on 39 lbs and felt HUGE.

95. Both of my sons have been very active babies in utero.

96. After John was born, I missed having him moving around inside me.

97. This little guy has been SO active that I think I might be relieved when my belly stops moving all the time.

98. My second son is due to be born in less than 8 weeks.

99. I'm freaking out a bit about having two babies to take care of.

100. I'm so excited to be done with this list!
