'Wordy' Wednesday

In honor of having hit my 100th post in the last couple of days today will be wordy instead of wordless. Here is my '100 things about me for my 100th post' list:

1. I love yellow
2. But I really love other colors as well especially pink and brown together, hot pink and black together, pink and green together, etc and I really love polka dots.

3. I love animals but own no pets.
4. If I did have a pet it would be a cat.
5. I love to read and usually have at least 2-3 books going at once.
6. My favorite authors are L.M. Montgomery and JK Rowling
7. I am a writer... hopefully to be published someday.
8. I have never lived in one home for longer than 2 1/2 years in my life.
9. I have been to every state in the U.S except for Hawaii, Alaska, and North Dakota.
10. I have been to Mexico and Canada but those are the only other countries I've been to.
11. I love Canada.
12. Prince Edward Island is my favorite place I've ever been to. I've been there twice.

13. I took my parents on a road trip across the U.S and Canada before I got married. We were gone a month. It was an amazing experience.

23. If I could I would constantly travel. I love it.

24. I hate flying though. I love road trips.
25. I really want to go to Disneyworld for Abi's 4th birthday next year. Doug is a little nervous about it because I am a vacation commando.
26. I have a hard time relaxing on vacation. I want to see and do everything that I can't do at home.
27. I'm a little OCD but not bad enough to do anything about it.
28. I am addicted to blogging/ checking out other blogs... the first step is admitting it right?
29. I love taking pictures.
30. I love making things.
31. I recently found out how much I enjoy frozen peanut M&M's.
32. I worry about Abi all the time...and then worry that I'm worrying too much. I am a worry wart.
33. I love old movies. Especially ones with Cary Grant and musicals that I grew up watching.
34. I prefer movies with a little action in them way more than romantic comedies.
35. But I cannot handle violence anymore.
36. I love all things Victorian. Our wedding had a Victorian flair to it... especially my dress that I designed and my sister in law made.
37. I still can't believe I'm married, have a house, and am a mom.
38. I like watching reality tv but feel guilty about it.

39. We only get three channels.
40. I miss cable and the DVR.
41. If I could afford to build any kind of house I wanted the two things it would have for sure would be a jacuzzi tub and a library with one of those rolling ladders,lots of comfy seating, and a big fireplace (think a cross between the one in Beauty and the Beast and the one in Candleshoe).

42. I do not like white or dark chocolate.
43. I do like 711 Nachos.... don't know why but I love them. But I haven't had them for over two years.

49. I have the greatest family in the world and the greatest in law family in the world.

51. I am a very strict mom. I worry too much about Abi turning out to be well behaved and polite.
52. I love being in my pajamas.
53. One of my favorite things to do in the winter is watch a Christmas movie in my comfy clothes with hot chocolate while its snowing outside.
54. I am a bad friend. I love my friends but I just don't think about calling them to talk or hang out all the time.
55. I tend to be in my own world so I forget others aren't - which leads to #54.

57. I am allergic to grass.
58. I never went to college.
59. I love schoolwork.
60. I do pencil puzzles (logic puzzles) for fun.
61. I have to use mechanical pencils because writing with a normal pencil is, for me, what nails on a chalkboard are to others.

65. I don't like onions or green peppers.
66. My favorite treat is popcorn... and the best of those is movie theater or in the homemade variety Pop Secret Homestyle.

67. When it comes to ice cream my favorites are mint chocolate chip, vanilla transformed into a sundae, Dairy Queen's peanut butter cup blizzard, or Baskin Robbins peanut butter and chocolate.
68.I love traditions. I have so many of them and am adding new ones all the time. I can't imagine life without doing them. Seriously, they make it fun.
69. I could probably write multiple posts every day.
70. I can't turn my head off. I'm always coming up with new ideas and thinking about a million different things.
71. I really do want another girl. I want Abi to have a sister.
72. I wrote a monthly family newspaper when I was in junior high. My mom still has them.
73. I have horrible feet. I used to run around without shoes and socks all the time and they have never recovered. (pedicures only help temporarily)
74. I always have knots in my shoulders- especially around my left shoulder blade. They drive me nuts and give me headaches. I wish I could have a personal masseuse.
75. I love old fashioned clothing. There is nothing cuter than a kid in something that is smocked!

76. I love history and love visiting historical places.
77. I do not enjoy cleaning but have to have a clean house.

81. My love languages are quality time (adventures, outings, travel) and gifts.
82. I love the ocean and lighthouses. (and slept in this one)

83. I really like going down to Chicago but I like driving in better than riding the train.
84. I love going to shopping 'villages'- Long Grove out here and Gardner Village in Utah.

89. I am extremely festive.
90. I dream of spending Christmas with all of my family in a cabin way up in the mountains snowed in.
91. Office supplies make me happy. I stocked up on the $.10 notebooks from Target a few weeks ago.
92. I am afflicted with what we call 'hiccurps' in my family. We all do it and I don't know why. I can't even explain what it sounds like. It feels like a hiccup and is just as uncontrollable and unexpected but it is really loud and long. The first time my friend Traci heard me do it was when we worked together. She stared at me and said "What the $%&# was that?"
93. I don't like it when people I don't know or don't know well touch me. It weirds me out. That was a problem during pregnancy.
94. I love magazines, even stupid ones, and have to keep myself from buying them.
95. I am terrible with names and it takes me awhile to remember them. Same with birthdays.
96. I love daisies and Gerber daisies.
97. I love 'family' shows and movies more than action and romantic comedy.
98. I read a lot of blogs for inspiration for my home, crafts, and celebrations.
99. I want to someday live closer to my family again.
100. My favorite car is a convertible yellow beetle.
