In honor of the “thing to do” when you hit 100 posts, here is 100 things about me. (I can't believe I've hit 100 already!!)
100 Things about me Post.
1. I think this idea is a bit egotistical.

3. But, even still - I enjoy writing my thoughts out there for others to comment on.

5. I'm not as thankful as I'd like to be.
6. And I have SOO much to be grateful for.

24. I'm unorganized.

#s 1&2 made me laugh, I do #29 too, I completely agree with #48, I was #55 too! Thanks for sharing, I loved reading it!
This was the sweetest list - I nodded and laughed and got teary...I am blessed because of it - thank you for sharing!
I still consider you a friend. Hey, we all did stupid stuff when we were young and even now!!! Nobody's perfect!!!
I am strange, too!!! I used to go around singing the "People are Strange" song. ;O)
I'm organized in my brain, but I have trouble showing it visibly.
I always imagined you as a brunette! I used to be blond, then I quit highlighting my hair. Now I am light-medium brown with brown eyes. Although, I sometimes consider putting highlights in my hair again just to give it some variation...I sometimes think it looks like I am wearing a helmet!!!
Anyway, I have been lost long enough. I am still cleaning for company! I got discouraged and thought I would make a visit over here! I am glad I did!!!
Have a great day!
Blessings!
Heather
