I can’t believe this is my 100th post. I’ve never been a journal person, so in some ways Blogging has been hard for me. I can get overwhelmed and caught up in my little world and miss a day or two or three. And when that happens, it’s even harder to get back on b/c I feel like I’m so far behind, it’s too overwhelming. But, so far I’ve stuck it out. It’s been fun and I’ve learned some more html. As most people who know me know, I love learning anything new about computers.

So now, to celebrate, I am going to take a “page” out of my Sister’s Blog and share with you 100 things about me.

I hope you enjoy!
