100 Things

Okay, so after reading Jeanne's 100 things list, I started wondering if I could even think of 100 interesting things about myself, and that got me curious, so I decided to try. I guess it mainly stems from the fact that I am immensely impressed on how many interesting things she thought of. Good Job Jeanne!

2. I am the youngest of five kids
3. I grew up very happily and had a very peaceful childhood.
4. While I was growing up I didn't appreciate the life I had as much as I do now when I look back.
5. I was a tall and lanky girl, and haven't grown at all (at least grown taller) since the 6th grade.
6. I took great pride in being able to beat all the boys in a foot race. (looking back it probably wasn't because I was fast, just tall).
7. I HATED JUNIOR HIGH

12. I had a steady boyfriend all through my junior and senior year, and I REGRET IT!
13. I don't want my kids "going steady" until college.
