100 Things

Here is my first semi-cool blog-type-thing: my list of 100 things about me. Enjoy.
1. I am a Sagittarius and generally fit the profile.
2. My daughter is one too, and I hope she fits the profile.
3. I am generally considered to be pretty outgoing, but inside I am just a little bit shy when I meet new people.
4. I love, love, love to throw parties and have a good time.
5. I get along better with men than with women.

9. I have traveled all over the world and the only place I have been that I would not move to is Houston.
10. My elaborate plan is to move to New Orleans and open a bar with Patsy called “Hysterically Blind.”

14. When I was a kid, my family used to go down the shore and stay in a pink house.
15. I think John Cougar wrote that song "Pink Houses" for me.
16. I tend to dislike people immediately upon meeting them; its just easier.
17. I am quite sarcastic and my humor puts some people off.
18. I don’t care that it does.
19. I love Big Cheez-its, but not the regular sized ones.
20. I love to take photos of everything and want to look at them all the time.
21. That's why I have 100's of framed pictures in my house.
22. Every guy (except one, damn him) I have ever given my phone number to has called me.
23. I knew the night I met my husband that we would get married.
24. I was bummed because I was having so much fun being single.
25. I dated a guy for several years before that, and I broke his heart.
26. On my first date with my husband, I started a fight with him because I didn’t think he was being respectful enough of me.
27. He has been respectful ever since.
28. No guy has ever broken up with me.
29. Most guys think I am the coolest wife and wish they could find a wife like me.
30. I love sports.
31. Watching them, not playing them.
32. I love hockey (Devils), baseball (Yankees), and football (Giants).

61. I generally prefer heavier, harder rock and punk.
62. I wanted to play drums when I was in 3rd grade but was refused because “girls don’t play drums.”
63. I played the flute instead.

68. Gypsy is afraid of vacuum cleaners, but kills bugs for me.

92. I wish I could surprise my husband and buy him a Harley.
93. Someday, I will.
94. I am generally an optimistic person, but people think I am a pessimist because of my attitude and sarcasm.
95. I accidentally stole a brick of cheddar cheese from the supermarket once, because I gave it to my daughter to play with and forgot to put it on the checkout belt.

If I said "'SWift' (or 'SpeedWalker') is lookin for an old friend named 'Jersey Girl'" would that make any sense to you?
Does "Purdue" or "Lafayette" ring any bells?

If so, please get in touch.

"Friendships may wane, but never die..."

In any case, many thanks.

Best,

Chris..
