101 Random Things About Me...

101. I'm newly 24. Well not that new; my birthday was 2 months ago.

100. I'm getting married to the greatest man ever, J. He's 31.

99. He works for an amazing company, so I don't have to.

98. I do some freelance graphic & web design when I get bored (or want to spend $200 on jeans).

97. I'm starting this blog, because Facebook, Myspace & Twitter aren't enough platforms to over-indulge in.

96. We moved from Tampa to Gainesville. We spent the first 3 months in a Homewood Suites, then moved to a studio apartment. We're moving on Wednesday into a bigger apartment, because we fell in love with this neighborhood (and aren't sure if we'll be here for 5 months or 5 years)

95. We have a fat, lazy pug who is the cutest thing in this world.

94. Shopping is my anti-drug. J would prefer I find a better, less expensive anti-drug.

93. I'm writing this list while my male half plays killing games on the Xbox.

92. I'm a glass half full, lemonade making kind of girl.

91. My mother & future mother-in-law both keep pressuring me to add things to our wedding registry. We just already have everything we need & I actually feel guilty because so many people are already spending hundreds of $$ to just come to the wedding. But then again everyone likes getting presents.

90. I should really be packing for our short move.

89. My favorite places to shop are Nordstrom, Target, Sephora, Barnes & Noble, Amazon.com, Forever 21, etsy.com... I could go on forever.

88. My family (including J & the Pug) is the BEST thing in my life. I love each & everyone of the hugely extended family I was blessed with.

87. I hate recipes, but I love cooking. Most times I check out a few recipes for a certain type of meat or dish & then wing it. I have had many hits & just as many misses.

86. One of our favorite things to do is tent camping. We have not had a chance to go this year.

85. A few of the things I love... knee socks, iced lemon water, beating J at games (when it rarely happens), wrapping presents, almost anything vintage, home decorating, sitcoms & having a clean house.

84. A few of the things I hate... unnecessary traffic (which is the FL standard), waiting longer than I should, bragging & being disrespected.

83. J & I own more board games than the average 7-year old boy. The way we do it is obsessively play our selected game for a few weeks then throw it on the shelf with the rest of them & get a new one.

82. I'm currently rereading all the books I was forced to read in school. It's funny how a different perspective & a few years change things.

81. A few months ago I was in the middle of getting my book published by one of the world's largest publishers. The deal fell through, for more reasons than one. It was an epic fail.

80. I'm very lucky for the life I have & I don't take that for granted.

79. I believe everything happens for a reason.

78. My guilty pleasure is Myspace surveys. It's horribly unclassy. It's the only reason I'm still on Myspace.

76. We move in 2 days, go to Chicago in 15 & get married in 109. I am not ready for any of it.

...to be continued.
