My 100th Post

Holy smokes!! I can't believe this is my 100th post!! When I started writing this blog, I never thought I would get here! I feel like sirens should be going off, lights should be flashing and confetti should be falling from the sky! :)

In the bloggers world, I am told that on the 100th post I am to list 100 things about myself. So here goes....and hopefully it wont bore you all to pieces!

3. I have my masters in reading.
4. I am a teacher (but not currently teaching) and loved my job. I look forward to going back to work someday.
5. My favorite author is Janet Evanovich.
6. I stood in line for an insane amount of time to get her autograph.
7. My 2 favorite books are The Glass Castle by Janette Walls and Water for Elephants by Sara Gruen.
8. My book club got to talk to Janette Walls. Very cool.
9. I married my grandpa K....NOT literally! of course- ewe gross! But you know how people say you marry someone like your dad? I didn't do that. I married someone like my grandpa K
10. I miss my grandma K more often than not.
11. This is probably a weird thing about me but I like to drink alcohol but I don't like the feeling of being tipsy or drunk. That is weird right?
12. I have a marriage that I have always dreamed about...which I am thankful for everyday.
13. I have always loved and wanted a SAAB. I loved the 900s turbo convertible- red or white -back in high school. Don't love them as much now. However I am liking some of the newer ones I see again. Maybe I will get one yet!
14. My favorite subject to teach is reading.
15. I love bad reality TV and the good ones too.
16. I love watching people dance. It can be so magical!

21. Living with Eric and Matt was one of the most fun times EVER!!
22. I am a rule follower.
23. I am loyal.
24. Oreos are my favorite cookie. I think its more of an emotional tie than a taste tie. They are delicious, but my grandma K and I would dip them in milk and eat them together when I was growing up.
25. I have been to Russia twice.
26. The first trip was in high school. It was a HUGE growing and learning experience for me. I was there for a month.
27. The second time was a NIGHTMARE!! I went in college and stayed a weekend. HORRIBLE HORRIBLE HORRIBLE I had to get a lawyer involved in that whole mess.
28. I graduated college a semester late due to that Russia trip.

38. I hate garage sales.
39. I worry too much...however it's less than I used to.
40. I have a tattoo on my stomach.
41. Not a smart place to get a tattoo if you are going to have triplets.

64. When I exercise, I need someone to push me (not literally) to get a really good work out.
65. I am not motivated enough to push myself to the next level when I am exercising.
66. LOVES going to concerts. Live music is so much better!!
67. Same with sports. Love watching them live- hate watching on TV.

70. I miss doing yoga. I should do that again.
71. Dislikes being in crowds. HATES crowds when I am with the boys. Ugh!
72. Cannot flip shapes around in my head. When we built our house it was opposite of the model and I could not visualize how it would go.
73. I am not good with directions. If I get lost going someplace new, I have a really hard time finding it again!
74. I don't have a very good memory. Which is probably why I love pictures so much. It helps me remember stuff.

83. When I was in 5th and 6th grade I was on safety patrol (where you get to stop traffic and help the little kids cross the street). I thought I was SO COOL!!
84. My mom's side of the family lives in Kansas. We would go there a few times a year to visit.
85. I am the oldest cousin on that side of the family.

91. I hate running. Too much jiggles.
92. I am extremely organized.
92. I love organizing stuff!! I find it really fun!!
93. I hate cooking. Most of the time. Every once in a while I find I enjoy it. But I would say the majority of the time it's just a huge pain in the you know what!
94. I am more of a morning person. I am not a super early morning person. But I am for SURE not a night owl.
95. I do not do well without sleep. I am very emotional when I am tired- and I feel sick when I don't get enough sleep either.
96. My favorite flower used to be a tulip. I still love them- but not as much as I used to.
97. I would rather be cold than hot. You can always add another layer of clothing but you can only take so much off.
98. The biggest/best thing I have ever won was a TV. I blogged about that crazy experience here.
99. I don't really have a bucket list. When I want to do something or accomplish something- I just go do it. Which I find weird since I LOVE making lists of things to do. :)
100. I can honestly say that I am happy with my life.

Whew!! I finished!! That was WAY harder than I thought it would be!! Hope I didn't bore you all to pieces. Now I will return back to my normal blogging. :)
