100 Posts, 100 Things...

Yes, it really IS my 100th post. If you care to waste the time, you can go back and count...but if I were you, I'd just take my word for it.

Since this post is a "special one" I thought I'd take an idea off of Marci's blog and tell y'all 100 things about myself. It took a while to come up with the list (even though I know myself very well)...anyway, here goes:

1. I love to hike. Love, LOVE, LOVE it!

4. I love to blog and I think everyone should make their contribution to the blogging world.
5. I'm a Speech-Language Pathologist and I love my job!

8. I like my life. A lot.

22. I don't hate pink like I once did. (I even have a pink cell phone!)
23. In a perfect world, it would always be autumn weather.
24. I like the color brown because I like my light brown eyes. (Does that sound smug or vain?)

73. Although "Dear Frankie" really is a GREAT flick, part of why I like it so much is because it takes place in Scotland. Oh yes, and because of Gerard Butler.
74. This has happened on a handful of occasions: I'm at a restaurant with friends, having an animated conversation, when some (unexpected) song will come on and I'll stop dead in the middle of sentence to listen to the song (and sometimes I get excited over the song). It's especially embarrassing when it happens on a date...

94. I ALWAYS pull for the phantom EVERY TIME I watch Phantom of the Opera. I know it's wrong, but he has my heart! (Especially Gerard Butler's phantom)
