100 Things About Me

Ashley Grace turned me onto a lady's blog and she did a 100 Things About Me post. I thought it would be a fun blog post, since I love the emails that ask you 50 questions, you send it to your friends, and they reply back. I know that they are sometimes annoying to some, but I love them! It seems that no matter how well you think you know your friends, there is also another layer to peel back. People fascinate me---so I thought I would enlighten you (if you care!) on 100 Things About Me:
