100th Post

Well today is my 100th post. I am pretty much positive this means I have way to much time on my hands or I am greatly ignoring things I shouldn't be. At any rate I am very thankful that people are actually reading what I write and I love this forum to express the things I would just normally talk to myself about. This makes me look slightly less crazy.

I thought about not doing the 100 things about me list that people do but then I didn't really have any other ideas so here we go. There will be a test at the end so don't cheat and skip to the last one and comment on that one! I am on to you and your slacker ways!

Great job. But this will show you how un-hip I am (and old, and clueless): you said you cried when Chris Matthews died and I was all, what? He was on Hardball last night!

Cajoh said...

Congratulations on your major milestone. You should post on how you got that scar on your hand (unless it's a pretty straightforward story).

Mama Dawg said...

That was great! I don't know what to comment on first.

The dead bird, the love of the scents of beer, cigarettes and grease on a man, the fact that you are into fat, bald, biker men....it could go on and on.

I, too, like bald men. I don't care too much about weight. But I love 'em bald!

Anonymous said...

I don't know how you all can come up with 100 things. I'm glad that milestone breezed right past me without me even knowing it. However, reading your list was so much fun. But don't tell people that you had a crush on Bob from SS. Linda is ok, but not Bob. ;)

Sarah's Blogtastic Adventures said...

A Lawyer Mom pointed out to me, very nicely I might add that it wasent Chris Matthews that died, but Tim Russert, so I changed the name, but am slightly embaressed LOL. And I hope this was not some sort of foreshawdowing on the part of Chris Matthews and his life. Cause I love him too and that would suck if he died....

The Dental Maven said...

You Go Girl! Very cool list, but, er, uh, sorry about your bird.

Dr Zibbs said...

This is the police and we are coming over to arrest you for shoplifting.

Haha - Just kidding. It's me. Dr Zibbs.

Were you scared?

Casey said...

You have me cracking up with this list. How can someone hate chocolate and love vacuuming? It's not right. I love dive bars and mowing the lawn too. I'm sorry to hear about your family bird and miscarriage. I didn't laugh. OMG, I have to watch my babysitter now. Wowza! I feel too young to have kids too but I'm definitely not.

Happy 100, congrats!

Cameron said...

Wait a minute, you did like 110. You did the 40's twice. Anyway, like you I like beer, and summer, and I can lick your elbows too, although that might be kinda forward.....and weird.

Sarah's Blogtastic Adventures said...

Holy shit Cameron I think I am losing my freakin mind!!!

Sarah's Blogtastic Adventures said...

err I mean I meant to do that ...that was the test see?

snicketmom said...

I left the room to see if I could lick my elbows (I don't want Gram to think I'm crazy) and came back to say congrats on 100! (I can't, BTW)

Vic said...

I demand proof of the elbow licking ability!!! I tried and tried, and either my arms too long or my tongue's too short.
Video!!!

Petra a.k.a The Wise (*Young*) Mommy said...

Happy 100th post! Awesome facts about yourself. I also suck at math, so I am with you on that one. I have always wanted bleach blond hair and have tried it a hundred times, only for it to look TERRIBLE every time. Not meant to be I guess, but I am always so jealous of those that can pull it off!

Here's to many more awesome posts!

Diane said...

i'm finding myself having a lot that i want to say and ask you!

#7 really got me. that is the biggest weight i have on me at this point in my life. i've never gone to church. ok enough about that.

i enjoyed reading your list!

Shangrila said...

Congrats on your 100th post! I totally read the whole thing, so now I'm gonna torment you with some of the stuff I thought while reading it! "I never wanted kids, either (thank god I had them)! I shoplifted, too. I wnat her to post a pic of her with bleach-blond hair! Hand in the escalator-owa! I set my dad's guitar on fire. In my defense, he'd said that he wished I'd never been born. I cried for a week when Steve Irwin died. It still gets me. I was crushed when Olivia left Sesame Street. OMG, your elbows?!! Raffi. What a perv. You hate chocolate?! Maybe you're doing it wrong...I didn't laugh about the bird until you told me NOT to. #'s 55 and 56? Oh, honey...#65 No, the Blue Wiggle is hawt! (Maybe I just think taht because he really likes food...)#83 No, that's the worst thing HE'S ever done (I hope!) Cigars and leather smell good on a man, too. Pwhew!"

The Me/ The Wife/ The Mom said...

Congratulations! I've given you an award...come and get it when you can!

Beth said...

Whoo Hoo! Way to go! And I didn't even realize you flubbed up on the numbering. See? You aren't the only one with number issues.

Now, may I suggest the possibility of some therapy... Squashing a bird! That is toe' up!

Anonymous said...

B) how come i don't remember you sitting on our bird? well dad did have like 10 different ones but really it is like my childhood was washed out of my brain???

Sarah's Blogtastic Adventures said...

Uh Kim duh it was Blondie remember she was in the couch cushion and I sat down and I broke her wing and then she died...it was painful thanks for remember ing you probably just blocke dit out! heheh

Anonymous said...

Wow. I'm so sorry I missed book club and the chance to finally meet you. So many things in common...I think I may have to do a top 100, also. Basically I'll just copy you for most of them.

Katie said...

I think I may love you more!

Ramble On said...

Impressive! It is so good to see that we humans are more alike than different. I know I could identify with a lot of your list.

FoN said...

That was great! Although I question your sanity for hating chocolate. Oh, and the ex TOTALLY deserved the guitar smashing. Was it over his head??

Scope said...

I just swung by as I'm taking a brake from working on my 100-4-100 post, and I must say, "Wow."

I hope I can pull it off so well.

Jenni said...

the escalator? ouch. and I'd forgotten Linda. she was awesome.

Anonymous said...

Congrats on 100! And just to celebrate, you kicked 100's ass and did the 40s twice! My kind of girl!
PS- funny how perfectionists like us are also control freaks and over-analytical. guess it goes with the territory. :)

HeatherPride said...

Happy 100th!! There was a lot of great stuff in there. The babysitting gig? Wow. Juicy. Cute about the 5th grade "fattie".

lisa24n7 said...

~Thought's By Dena~/ JDs Gift Shack said...

I stumbled upon your blog and love love love the way you just put it all out there!!!! Congrats on the big 100!!!! I will be back to read more!!!

Sprite's Keeper said...

I was wondering where the test was! I even read it twice so I could ace it! Great 100, or 110!

Chris said...

#25) Can't you just imagine the three of them recording a song together? I mean back when it was possible:)

Pseudo said...

Raising my glass right back at you. Congrats on your 100th!

Anonymous said...

We are also very similar! To be honest with you it is a bit frightening...other then the not dancing in pubilc thing. I don't dance any more but 10 years ago I was a major dancer.

I never smashed my ex's guitar but I wish I had! LOL.
