Another 100..for fun

1) I sometimes get insomnia--like tonight.
2) When I was in 3rd grade I really believed I could fly--I think I did levitate myself once too!
3) I always wanted a bike with a banana seat and a canopy bed, but now I have a bike with a kids seat and a tempur bed and I am content!
4) When I was in grade school my siblings and I would walk to the local fruit stand and buy penny candies. My favorite were the jelly raspberries. I was thrilled to find them here in Germany!
5) I loved irrigation as a child. It was so relaxing to put my legs in the water and watch it flow by.
6) Since our family was poor I worked in the the school cafeteria serving. Once I fainted while serving green beans and the lunch ladies fussed over me. I loved it that part.
7) I was very good at tetherball and 4 square in grade school.
8) I have always enjoyed singing. I belonged to a choir in gradeschool and continued throughout my life.
9) I rescued a kitten when I was in grade school and my father let me keep her. She was a beautiful black long haired cat that died when I was in college. Her name was Mo Mom because I couldn't think of what to name her (or which of the kittens to pick) so I said "eney, miny, miney, mo) and that is what I called her. I thought she understood me better than any human.
10) In junior high school all I wanted to wear was painters pants and softball shirts. (of course I wore my trainer bra etc. too)!
11) In high school I fell asleep while watching a video with my boyfriend. When he drove me home I thought it was fine to talk since the light to the porch was on. But to my horror, the door was locked when I wanted to go in. I knocked on all the windows and rang the door bell, but no one heard. I was prepared to sleep in the garage with the dog, but my boyfriend wouldn't allow it. So he took me back to his house. Since his parents were asleep, he woke his father and asked if I could stay in his sisters room. He got up and drove me home around 6:30 am. When I went in my mother was making breakfast and since I had on sweats, she thought I went out for a run. When John got home his parents thought he was out on an errand. So neither set of parents knew I slept over at my boyfriends house! You are the only one...keep it a secret! Ha ha.
12) I always ran for the social aspect, not winning. When my teammate got sick (she had asthma) I stopped and stayed with her, even though I should have kept going since I was a top runner.
13) My senior photo was used as an asvertisement for the photography studio.
14) My first car was a 1975 Datsun B210. I knick named it the flamemobile since the wiring was so bad it caught fire. (But I was young and dumb and kept driving it).
15) To me, the most intoxicating smells are lilacs, fragrant roses and citrus blossoms.
16) I refurbished a turn of the centry house and glad I got that out of my system while I had the energy. I never want to do that again!
17) I can say I know how to tile(tub and floor), refinish hardwood floors (sanding, staining and varnishing), put in a sprinkler system, replace a sink, wallpaper like a master, paint like a maniac and still live to tell about it.
18) I love the feel of warm sand, cool breeze and the sound of ocean waves.
19) I find a lot of strength and peace in nature.
20) I love the forest the best.
21) Although the sea, the desert and farmland bring me joy too.
22) I like to explore countries through their food.
23) I have my own private research going on about the best tasting chocolate in the world.
24) I love to walk around neighborhoods and look at peoples homes.
25) It is especially fun when it is dark and they leave their drapes/blinds open and I can see how they decorate.
26) I enjoy people watching.
27) And easedropping on their conversations.
28) Perhaps that was part of the draw into being a therapist.
29) I love to bargain shop (thrift stores, flea markets and garage sales). It brings a thrill when I get something of value for practically nothing.
30) I have some pride in how I get many nice clothes and fun toys for my kids for very little cost at the thrift store.
31) I took piano lessons for 6 years, but each year I quit, so I can't play.
32) I took piano lessons as an adult (age 36) and learned a bit more but didn't stick with it.
33) I have owned a Toyota (SR5), Acura and Camry before I got the Toyota (mini-mini van) we have today.
34) I am really bad at spelling (as I am sure you have already figured out) but don't take the time to cut and paste it to a word document to check it.
35) I think the English language (and spelling) makes no sense.
36) At least the German spelling makes sense, but the words are 10x as long, so that is what trips me up.
37) I prefer diet coke to diet pepsi. I can't remember the last time I drank a non-diet pop.
38) I don't drink much pop now but like herbal teas (sweetened with a packet of splenda).
39) I have never tasted alcohol except once when I bit into a chocolate candy that had run inside--and it was horrible and I spit it right out!
40) I still love songs from artists from my jr. high years like James Taylor, Simon and Garfunkle and Neil Diamond.
41) I find it hard to believe that John Denver and Karen Carpenter are dead.
42) I have always disliked my long pointy nose. Once my nephew asked "Why do you have such a sharp nose?" and an ENT offered to fix the end of it (but it was too expensive so I had to forgo the dream).
43) I am a fairly tolerant person except when it comes to cigarette smoke. I can get aggresive about my opinions about it (which are all negative).
44) My best friend (Jeni) and I got "drunk" once on diet shasta when we were studying chemistry in high school.
45) Even though it was very stressful and hard, I fullfilled a dream and became certified as a scuba diver. I love swimming with the fish even though I have bouyancy problems!

58) I love to mow the grass and to weed.
59) I was 21 when I had my ears pierced.

64) I have never like country music, but now some of it is okay (I'll listen politely).

69) I had a cat named Brutus for 17 years as an adult (he died 3 years ago) and I still miss him (especially when I got out the Christmas decorations and saw his stocking and still find his hair on the tree skirt. He was like a child to me.
70) He used to sleep under my right arm--in the pit (I guess it was the warmest). He was fiercely loyal to me. My husband took 2nd to him in bed!

74) I was a lot worse, but still like things to be in a certain order (how the dishwasher is loaded, clothes hung by colors in the closet etc.)
75) My husband seems to have no comprehension of order, so I rearrange his things alot (I gave up trying to change him--at least in that area).

77) I can talk like Donald Duck.
78) I was in a triathalon once (it was called the Tinman in Topeka Kansas).
