Of course, it's all about me - but I've narrowed it down to 100.
I've tried to revise it a bit since the time I posted it originally.
1. I am the eldest of 3 children
2. My sibs are boys
3. I thought this list would be easy but it's not.
4. I wrote this on a dare. Seriously.
5. I started writing this in a serious manner...just the facts, ma'am....
6. But I can't stay serious very long.
7. Unless I'm in a melancholy mood.
8. And then I'm serious - but not much fun - just serious. And kind of mopey.
9. I like puns. Good puns.
10.I met my hubby on Valentine's day, 1997

15. I spent my honeymoon at Six Flags
16. It was hot there.
17. I'm not overly fond of hot weather.
18. I'm not fond of heights either.
19. I had a good time, despite the heat.
20. I can't believe we've been married for 10 years coming up in July.
21. I also can't believe that there's so much that we still need to learn despite our 10 years of marriage.
22. I had my first baby in October 1998.
23. She came on time.

37. I'm done having babies.
38. I like to read.
39. I prefer my books to have heroes.
40. I like consistent characters.
41. I don't like it when the author makes the character a hero one minute and a lame-brain the next.
42. I realize we all make mistakes - even characters in books...however...

We had our first babies the same year. Thanks for taking the time to write such a list. I found it very interesting. :) This was a great way for me to get to know you.
I once cut my hair too. I found myself alone in the house with scissors and too much coffee in me.
Did I tell you the NY Renaissance Festival is partially responsible for my marriage? My husband was working there the year I met him at a juggling club and he offered comps to anyone who wanted them. I wanted them. And then I wanted him. ;o)
I love your list, I think you are very interesting!
Peace and Laughter,
Cristina
great list, I like the variety in it. I want to learn to play the guitar too.
i find you very interesting..
probably because we share so much on the list.. :o)~
i do have a pen obsession. the same thing.. certain ones for paper and one special one for my journal. plus i am in love with sharpies.. i use them for artwork.
i really should be i therapy i think.
thank you for that glimpse of the woman behind the laundry pile.. :o)
I love it as much as I loved the first one! Are you all feeling better yet?
I love your list! So many interesting things! I don't know if I could come up with 100 things to write about myself. It might take more effort than I am willing to put forth! But I'm glad you did your list. It's great!
I've never read this before....! Until today. When i just read it, because I thought after reading your 40 by 40 list I needed to know more about you...but your so silly, I'm not sure how much I really know. Other than how important socks are to you.
