Several bloggers I read have posted this "100 things about me" meme. Reading those, I was completely mystified as to how they could think of that may things to say about themselves. So, I gave myself a challenge - to complete that meme and post it here. It has taken me a few days but voila! Here it is. (in random order as they popped into my head)

That was fun to read. #29 & #25<-(Ewwww)have got to be my favorites! I really like these memes. They are a great way to get to know people. I plan on doing one soon. :)
I also loved cough medicine as a child! Especially Robitussin CF, it was the best.
I love reading these kind of meme's. Thanks for sharing!
I enjoyed it to but wouldn't want to do it. It would take me days as well. It does show some interesting things about people.
Very interesting, Stacy. I was sad to get to the end. It seems we may have more in common than being Texans in love with Italian men.
BTW, that actor is soooo cute. Did you go to college in TX? Which one? Which sorority?
giulia - I know! she was a mess - we used to get into lots of trouble. hehe fond memories
kc - i loved my cough medicine with codeine in it! scary
kristen - I'm glad it wasn't too boring. when can I read yours?
linda - you'd be surprised how fast it can go once you get started. free association works.
cherrye - ooo what else do we have in common?? He is cute isnt he? short but very cute. I went to Oklahoma State Univ. and was a member of Kappa Alpha Theta. what about you?
