I'm 100 today!

here we go......it's not that interesting to don't get too excited! 100 things about me!

1. I have one older brother, no sisters


2. My parents are still happi.... well, they are still married, let's just leave it at that.


3. I work for our family business that has been in business since 1883.


4. I went to 2 universities and have a degree from neither (I'm one semester short...slack ass)


5. I went to photography school and have the master photographer certification to prove it. PPA and PPNC


6. I have been with my husband for 13 years, married for almost 9


7. Little One was kind of an accident in case you ever wondered why my minis are so far apart....another story entirely


8. Between me (Feb), the Husband (Mar), Big One (Feb) and Little One (Mar), all of our birthdays are in February and March.


9. I sleep on the right side of the bed (if you are laying on it looking at the ceiling)


10. I cannot sleep with the tv on, I need quiet.


11. I have had surgery on my jaw


12. I have had two knee surgeries, one meniscal repair and one meniscal transplant


13. I think I've mentioned this before but my transplant is from a cadaver. I see dead people...I can never resist that but obviously that lovely donor had better knees than me. If you aren't an organ donor, you should be, I am.


14. Both minis are c-section babies, both emergency c-section babies. (that makes 5 surgeries if you are keeping up......they'll be a quiz later)


15. The only bone I've ever broken was my little toe and DAMN did that hurt


16. I've had stitches in my chin twice


17. My hair is obnoxiously long right now and is getting ready to be cut and colored Saturday (yippie!!)


18. My ears are pierced three times on one side and two times on the other (long story) but I only wear earrings in the first holes


19. I wash my hair every other day and wear my hair up every other day (you guessed that right?)


20. My natural hair color is dark brown and my eyes are olive green



21. I love to get pedicures but I never get them, I do it myself. I don't have time or money to get them anywhere else, so I'm pretty good at it!



22. I never get manicures. I never paint my nails, they are au naturale but they are naturally long and thick as concrete like fake ones (how appropriate that I would get good nails when I could care less about them)



23. I hate my car grocery getter gas hog school bus Toyota SUCKuoia



24. I wear Merle Norman makeup, I have since I was 15 and no matter what else I ever try, I always go right back. I love it. The Ultra powder foundation is da bomb. I don't wear liquid foundation ever, don't need it with that stuff. It's awesome. Love love love.



25. I love shoes, I have a shit ton of shoes. Entirely too many pairs but I wear either my brown suede or black suede Dansko clogs EVERY day to work. Why do I need all those shoes?



26. I dress my minis better than I dress myself



27. I am fearful that I will not have a job soon and the Husband is already on short time with this economy. It's making me bananas



28. I get allergy shots once a week



29. Accounting is my money making job but photography is my great love and passion (part time unfortunately)



30. I love football



31. I love my Chamilia bracelet, it's my favorite piece of jewelry, every bead has it's own special meaning to me and it's so damn cool I get compliments on it EVERY time I wear it which is all the time



32. My minis both have names that make doctors office appointment makers automatically assume they are boys and it makes me insane......they aren't THAT boyish really. I wouldn't have considered either a boy name to be truthful



33. Black and white photos are my favorite. Something about seeing a person's expression and REALLY seeing something of them instead of what color their shirt is or something. Nature shots are fine in color though.



34. I am a sheet snob. My sheets are more expensive than I care to admit.....Sferra..it's bad



35. My favorite candle scent is Archipeligo Botanicals Pineapple Ginger....it is yummy and makes my house smell fantastic



36. I'm weird about the cleanliness of bathrooms



37. I am allergic to seafood but I can't understand why you'd want to eat something that smells so bad anyway



38. My biggest meal of the day is lunch, sometimes I forget supper (for me, for me, I feed the minis.....relax)



39. My girls both have the same nose and mouth....I love those little mouths. They have the best lips, both of them



40. I love grape koolaid



41. I drink Dr. Pepper all the time. Diet Dr. Pepper mostly but I'll take regular if you don't have diet



42. I used to love to waterski but I can't now because of the transplant, if I mess that up it's total knee for me
