100 things about me. . .
I have seen several people in different blogs do this, so I thought it would be fun to do it too. I'm sure that there are quite a few things in here that my friends will be surprised to know about me. Hope you find it interesting.
1. I have freckles and have grown to love every single one of them.
2. I love making lists.
3. My birthday says that I am a Taurus and my personality would have to agree.
4. I procrastinate whenever I can.
5. I love to swim. . .
6. but I’m scared of swimming in the ocean.
7. I’m scared of heights and escalators.
8. My favorite color is blue.
9. I despise any kind of bean or pea there is. However, I do adore chili.
10. My grandfather gave all four of his granddaughters nicknames when we were babies. Mine was “Reuder.” I have no idea what it means and the one time I tried to ask him, he gave me this long story about how I used to drink the little coffee creamers straight out of the container when I was a (very young) child.
11. I want to open my own non-profit organization one day.
12. From the age of 7 until about 21, I was not able to eat a single waffle because of a traumatic childhood experience.
13. I am one of the most supportive people you will ever meet.
14. I can’t drink milk unless it’s accompanied by something sweet or in cereal. The thought of drinking plain white milk by itself makes me sick. Sometimes if I have a craving for milk, I’ll even eat something sweet just so I can drink the milk.

20. I am a lightweight when it comes to alcohol.
21. I hate the taste of beer.
22. I am learning to accept compliments with a “Thank you” instead of thinking that the person couldn’t possibly have meant what he or she just said.

Hey great list! I have to admit, I SO want to know about no. 12 and how do 7 people live in a 2 bedroom trailer? That can't have been easy. Sorry to read about your Grandfather. (btw Martha Stewart gets on my nerves too lol)
Lisa,
Yeah, No. 12 does inspire curiosity doesn't it? Well, my mother kept making me eat my breakfast even when I told her that I was feeling sick. Eventually, I threw up my waffles all over the kitchen table. After seeing them in reverse, I couldn't eat them for years. So here's a tip: if your kids say that eating something is going to make them sick, you should listen. :)
And the trailer thing was NOT easy. I shared a room with my sister and stepsister. My mom and stepfather had their room. And then my two stepbrothers actually slept on the living room floor. It was a nightmare.
