100 Things About Me

1. I love cereal, it is my most favorite thing to eat in the whole world. I can eat it for breakfast, lunch, & dinner. I have always loved cereal even as a kid & in college it got worse. In our house growing up you could only open one box at a time, so you had to eat a whole box before you could get to the next toy!! In college I would buy 5 or 6 boxes and have all of them open the next day, my roommate always made fun of me.

2. I love most 90's music, I love almost all of it: rap, alternative, country, techno, rock, pop.

3. I love the FreeCreditReport.com commercials, I will stop what I am doing to watch them...something about the way the guy sings them. I am big on the way someone sings, that is one of the reasons I am a huge Matchbox Twenty fan.

4. I am a huge Matchbox Twenty fan, I traveled to N.C. for the evening one time in college to a concert because there was no ATL date.

5. I love to listen to the Dave Matthews Band, my friend keeps me stocked in the live albums. I also love to watch Dave sing.

6. I have been and probably always will be unhappy with my body, it is a constant pursuit, but right now even more so than normal.

12. I don't mind the act of doing laundry, I don't mind carrying it to the washing machine and switching from the washer to the dryer, I don't even mind folding it or putting it up, but I would rather not do it all. I wish someone could fold it for me and I would put it up or I could fold it and someone else put it up.

13. I really enjoying sitting down to feed the fat kid when no one else is home or up. It is such a special time, he is my last baby, he is already 6 months old, it is going by too quickly.

14. I love to get massages, firm massages. Nick gives a good massage I always tell him that he missed his calling.

Christmas has this feeling, I don't know how to describe it, but I get it when I am shopping and I love it!

62. Christmas shopping with Nick is fun, but stressful he is a get in and get it done kind of person, where I want to take my time. I like his motivation to get it done and get it done early, then I get to wrap it all and look at all the presents under the tree.

We tried to be friends, even after I got married and had #1, but he still wanted more-I didn't-I have what I want.
