100 Things

OK, so I know I'm a total copy cat, but after seeing so many people post their 100's lists, I wanted to give it a go. I thought it would be a great idea to do it for my 100th post and I started working on it a couple of weeks ago and finally finished it this morning. Here you go:

1. I have brown hair and blue eyes

2. I love to run! (If you haven’t figured that out yet, you aren’t very bright)

4. My new favorite game is Blockus—go get it

11. Not being on a college cheer squad was probably the best thing that ever happened to me

12. I went to a two year college to earn my associates degree on a Journalism scholarship that I didn’t even apply for

15. I eat too many sweets

16. I hate cutting onions because I can’t stand the smell of them on my hands

21. I did gymnastics for 12 years,

22. Last year when I tried could still do a round-off back-handspring, back-flip

23. I majored in History Teaching and now feel like I know nothing about history—it’s a little bit embarrassing

24. I am super cheap

25. I will buy anything if it’s a good deal—I can’t tell you how many stupid things I have just because they were only $5

91. I love HOT showers—the kind that turn my whole body red!

94. I’m a night owl by nature. I’m an early bird out of necessity (when else would I run?) Which means I’m always tired..

96. I love to chew gum—especially bubble gum because I think it’s fun

97. I store most of my shoes in their original boxes—can you say OCD?

98. I hate Wal-Mart, but that doesn’t stop me from shopping there!

How can you hate cotton candy!? I saw it in bulk at Sam' and really wanted to buy it :-)I loved your list!

TexasTwinsTwice said...

WOW--so many things we have in common, and SO MANY things I didn't know about you. You are too cute--I loved reading all this stuff! =)

Lisa said...

So i totally knew many of these things - I LOVE 20 milers (and I miss them!) Oh and, your Husband is my home teacher too, but I'm not going to marry him :) I'm starting my list too.

Melodrama Mama said...

Whew! Three blogs in as many days! You are on fire! As a family member, I am glad that I knew most of these things, but when did you work at ZCMI? Or at a collection agency?

jayne said...

I love that I knew a lot of these things about you! Um, I don't think I'd admit to wetting the bed since you've been married though.....And where did you find black shoes?? I've had the same issue and have a really cute black shirt and a sweater that never get worn.

camran said...

You are too cute! Sorry to hear about the chafing issues this morning, you hide your discomfort very well! As for the "implants" - I laughed out loud ;)

Hassingers said...

Yeah!! I loved them. You can expound on them on our 12-20 milers this summer.:)

I also knew all of these except the collection agency. So funny. Good job. I had a hard time thinking of 10.

Did you wet the bed while on Lortab?

Becca said...

Rabid--I did not wet the bed while on Lortab, although maybe I should say that I did (it would be less embarassing). I did however wet the bed the same week we bought our first mattress--I was mortified!

DeAnna said...

I, too, knew many of these and laughed out loud at some. I love knowing that I am a true friend that has told you something you didn't want to hear. I loved the list and thank you for taking the time to write it.

The Tuck Family said...

It's so much fun to learn new things about people you've known for awhile...oh and thanks for the Mom-to-Mom support!

Janice {Run Far} said...

My hubby wet the bed just after we got married and I woke up in the middle of the night to him trying to hide it, it was awesome.

Janice {Run Far} said...

Oh ya and I want those two same implants, well not the same ones but you know what I mean.... Maybe we can get a two-for discount.. what do you think?
Do you think they will get in the way of our running? Your right who cares....

Blondie said...

I love these because I got to know so much more about you, so fun! Thanks for doing this!

Jen Grimshaw said...

Becca wow the things you learn from blogging! Your family looks good. We miss you guys, and hope that everyone is good. Tell them all "hi" from the grimshaw's!!
