100 Things

1)I always always wear bottom eyeliner.
2)I'm very very forgetful.
3)I call it "black Downy" and it is the only laundry softener I will buy, even though its twice the price of some others, I just love how it leaves my clothes smelling and cant bring myself to buy any other scent/brand!
4)I remember it like it was yesterday, being a sophomore in high school, at a party on a Saturday night and getting the "your sisters in labor text", then asking my at the time best friend to drop everything and leave the party so I could be dropped off at the hospital to see my nephew.
5)When I was younger I loved outside activities like riding my bike, rollerskating, messing around on my skateboard or steering myself down the hill in my wagon.
6)I never mastered the skill of using the brakes with those said activities^.
7)Those said activities are where most of the scars on my legs come from.
8)My Mom still tells me how dark soda is so much worse than clear soda.
9)But dark soda happens to be my favorite; Pepsi, Dr. Pepper, Root Beer...
10)I love Cherry flavored sodas; Cherry Pepsi or Cherry Coke, Cherry 7up. Not Cherry Dr. P so much.
11)I know how very horrible it is but I rarely drink water.
12)I've gotten heat stroke times before.

23)I passed that on and taught my boyfriend how to keep our shopping cart organized and not just throw all the items in there.
24)When unloading my groceries onto the conveyor belt at the register, I keep everything organized; boxes of dry stuff, refrigerated/frozen, cans, bread and fresh veggies last.

28)I've had season passes to Sea World and Disneyland.
29)Turning 18 and writing my own notes in school was one of my most favorite life experiences. I got a kick out of excusing myself for appointments and illnesses.
30)No, I never had the best attendance record, especially for 1st and second period classes, I had no problem going to school an hour late.
31)I was happy, almost too happy about the fact of not having to take P.E anymore.
32)When we had to run the mile at school for P.E, I would try and lie about how many laps I had ran. (BF finds this hysterical)
33)There was an ice cream truck that went through my Grandmas neighborhood that never stopped for me.

35)Recently, instead of returning the movie I rented I instead returned one of my personal DVD's to the Blockbuster Express machine :(

44)It really really bothers me when my boyfriend gets out of the shower and puts his shirt on while his back is still wet.

59)My 4 year old maltipoo is like my little lamb, and I am Mary. He goes everywhere I go, always follows, stays near the bathroom til I get out of the shower, etc.
60)Said maltipoo is 5 pounds, and it took 3 members of our Vet's staff to get him to hold still for his last shots.

64)This would be my first year in who knows how long I might not make a Christmas list.
65)Manners are my favorite.
66)I took it personally that the guy exiting the building before me failed to hold/leave the door open for me, it pretty much shut on me as I was going to open it. gentleman.

69)My absolute favorite job I've ever had (out of 3) was a position as a personal shopper in a store specializing in high end prom dresses. Absolutely loved it.

74)My last day of being single was the day I graduated high school :)
75)When my nephew was a baby I used to take him out of his playpen where he was happily napping and put him in my bed so I could nap with him :) He was the best snuggler.
76)When my nephew was first born I sang him 'Badfish' by Sublime and whispered to him how much I hoped he grew up to like baseball.

88)I'm big on procrastination.

95)It happened with both my cat and my dog, I picked out their names and ended up not liking them and giving them new ones months later.
96)I love hearing that "I'm from California and am used to being spoiled with nice weather all the time." Cause it couldn't be any more true.

Ooops. I clicked on the link to the rainbow cake and lost my partially written comment. Where did it go?

Don't mind me. I'm easily distracted. But that cake is the awesome. I LOVE it.

I get heatstroke, too! I'm infamous for my just-about-to-pass-out-at-summer-functions shtick. And I do not like water. Want soda. I'm sure those issues are totally unrelated. Yes?

I heart surprises but I'm too crafty to be surprised. I can pick up on little hints and things being out of the ordinary. I'm just too smart. Dammit. ;/

Speaking of smart...I STEPPED ON MY FLATIRON AND BURNED MY FOOT!
