100? You don't look a day over 99!

Well, here it is - post number 100. It sure came up fast! The other day, I posted asking for suggestions for what I should do on today's post. After reading through the gazillions (3) of responses I received, I decided to do a bit of everything. Here we go!

100 Things About Me

2. I couldn't get a suntan if my life depended on it.

3. When I was younger, my friends liked to hang around me because I made them look more tan.

15. I have one really embarrassing moment that I can't put here on my blog because it's not PG rated.

17. I went to Westmont College - a private Christian college.

18. My parents used to send me posters of barely dressed men and I'd put them up on the walls and let everyone know that my parents gave them to me.

19. I also had a shirt on my wall (also from my parents) that said, "The Marines and I have a lot in common. We're both looking for a few good men."

20. If you are faint of heart, skip this one. Thanks to the college cafeteria, I used to be able to fart on command.

21. Some of my college friends and I used to joke about the universe revolving around my belly button. Yup, it was a joke. Or was it?

22. I once wrote a poem called Ode to Belly Button Lint.

23. I can't burp.

24. I have had a crush on Kurt Russell since I was a kid and he was doing Disney movies.

32. I worked at Disneyland two different times, for a total of 6 years.

33. Little Mermaid is my favorite Disney movie.

34. The only car accident I've been in involved a pedestrian.

35. The pedestrian was at fault. It's in the police report and everything. A little tip - never run through moving traffic.

59. I used to be able to sink a nail with one hit.

60. I can wiggle my nose like a rabbit.

61. I love the Bobrick company - the company that makes dispensers and such for public restrooms - because of their logo. Actually, because of the plastic left on after they etch their logo.

62. Since I was a kid, I've always checked for Bobrick dispensers in bathrooms in the hope of finding that little piece of plastic still attached to their logo so I could peel it off. Then I scratch off the centers of the 'o' and 'b's' because they don't peel away with the rest.

63. The bathroom at my sleep study last night had a Bobrick dispenser that still had the plastic on it. I guess the sleep study wasn't all bad.

65. I named my last dog, a Lhasa Apso, Crusher.

92. Being a Mommy is pretty much the greatest thing ever.

So there you go. 100 things about me.

But wait! There's more!

~*~ Sorry, but the giveaway is now closed ~*~

Congrats to Moongoddess!

I'm going to do a giveaway. What kind of giveaway you ask? Well, a chocolate one, of course! Yup, the winner will receive a chocolatey surprise package from me. No, I won't disclose what will be in it now. Why? Because I still need to go shopping. That being the case, if the winner doesn't like chocolate (I'll never understand how what could even happen to a person) or God forbid, is allergic to chocolate, I'll substitute something else. Don't ask me what because I don't know.

How do you win? The ways are many and, of course, totally about me. Hey, it's my blog so I get to make the rules. So without further ado, here are the possibilities:

1. Tell me which of my 100 things you find most amusing and why.

2. Tell me which of my past posts you've liked and why. Yes, you can do more than one. (Make sure that it's on separate comments though.)

3. Post a comment on this post telling me your story. I just can't believe I didn't get more responses on it before!

4. Sign up as a follower and tell me about it.

5. For all those readers who have never left a comment, leave a comment telling me why. Stop the silence!

6. Tell me which of the songs on my playlist is your favorite.

Okay, I think that's it for the different ways. Make sure you leave each in a separate comment. Sorry, but this is open to U.S. addresses only - postage is not cheap! Also, make sure I have a way to reach you in case you win. You can enter until next Saturday, Feb. 28th at 10 p.m. Pacific Time.

And because I just can't end it like that...
