100 Random Things About Me

Are you guys on facebook? I am and recently I’ve been tagged about 100 times to write 25 random things about myself. I was about to do it when I remembered WAY back when I wrote a 100 Random Things about me post on my old site that I lost in the crash (if you are a new reader, long story short… I lost 2 years worth of posts and had to rebuild the site a couple of years ago.)

Anyway, instead of just writing the 25 things I went on a mission to find the 100 ones I wrote back then. Partly because I really wanted to read the old list but mostly because I’m stubborn. I searched my desktop. No luck. Then I remembered the wayback machine! I took a look at my archives for WeightWatchen (my old site name) and TaaaDaaaa! It was there! I was so excited!

Re-reading them was an experience. I had to change a few as they were a bit dated but overall this was my original 100 things about me post.

1. I love those cheesy mail forwards where you answer questions to get to know your friends. (kind of like this) ;)
2. I am the biggest sap in the world. I routinely cry watching t.v. dramas, touching commercials or sometimes just by looking at my son.
3. I sing out load and dance around like a complete idiot when I’m home with my son. (my workout)
4. I’m not the biggest fan of County or Hard Core Rap but everything in between is OK.
