Second List of 100

Another list of 100 because, well, why not?

3. I have been panning for gold in a river.
4. My eyes are green.
5. I used to wish my life were like a VCR with rewind and fast-forward. I am glad it wasn’t.
6. The worst kiss I ever got was while playing truth or dare.
7. I went to the Grand Tetons as a kid.

14.I once cheated on an eye exam because I wanted glasses.
15.I have 20/10 vision.
16. I used to have a really big tonka truck that was made out of some heavy duty metal. We had a driveway that was probably a 35 degree or steeper slope. It was about 20 feet long. I would ride the tonka truck down the driveway and use the insoles of my shoes as brakes.
I wore out those shoes quickly. They were pink Converse.
17.My dad was a produce broker for a while.
18. He would bring home so much watermelon, my mom would slice a whole one into fours and give each kid a hunk. My older brother and I would take ours outside. We would take a bite, chew it and then proceed to spit it at each other while laughing hysterically.
19.A really good friend of mine in 2nd grade had warts all over his hands. No one wanted to be friends with him. He had an Atari. (Not why I was friends with him. I liked him because he was different. His warts are what made him different.)
20. I suck at video games. I only like the story ones- like Crash Bandicoot and Little Mermaid.
21. Okay, just kidding about the Little Mermaid.
22. The first Disney movie I saw was Fox & the Hound.
23. It might have been the first movie I saw in the theatre.

27. Oh, and The Babysitters Club and Sweet Valley High, too.

33. I get little skin bumps on the back of my arms. I don’t know why.
34. I had to get my ears pierced three times when I was a kid because I would never take the earrings out and skin would grow over the back. My mom would have to take me to the doctor and have them taken out.
35. I learned after two times.
36. I used to own several pairs of Rocky jeans. (Cowgirl)
37. I never went to the hospital for anything until I was 16. I went because I had let a sore throat turn into Scarlet Fever. I was having too much fun to complain. I didn’t want to have to stay home.
38. My favorite ice cream flavor is peppermint- but only with the real peppermint candies inside.

47. My older brother told me a dog turd was a marshmallow when I was 2 so, according to him, I ate it. (I guess it was so old it was white.)
48. I believe him.
49. I always tell that story to people before they meet him because he always tries to tell that story. I take the wind out of his sails by beating him to the punch line so to speak.

56. He died from cancer.
57. He was the first person I ever knew that died.
59. The second was Josh Mullins.
60. I got that feeling in the pit of my stomach like when you are descending in an airplane quickly or drop on a roller coaster really fast when I wrote #59.
61. For some reason, the girls I was friends with in high school were all sluts.
62. When I was about 4, my dad started to call me pumpkin. I thought he was making fun of me (like calling someone a booger head, I guess.) and I would cry if he said it. He didn’t call me pumpkin for long.
63. I used to own multiple colors of jelly shoes.

67. I am a photo nut. I have them all over my house.

70. I used to wish I could fly.
71. I swear I flew around my room once when I was supposed to be taking a nap.
72. My parents once gave me the choice of skipping a nap or staying up late to watch Superman. I skipped the nap. I made my mom miss quite a bit of the beginning of Superman by crying my eyes out because I couldn’t stay up to watch Superman.
73. I don’t like Superman movies all that much.
74. I didn’t get into SuperHeros much at all except SuperGrover.
75. I think my favorite Sesame Street characters growing up were Bert & Ernie.
76. I never had an invisible friend.
77. My dad was going to school when I was small. He used to tell me to be quiet so he could study and I could not run back and forth through the dining room. So I would see how far I could slither on my belly until he noticed me.
78. I remember making homemade bread all the time with my mom in the kitchen.
79. Our black lab consumed a loaf of bread that was on the counter cooling.
80. My first joke ever was, “I guess that’s why she’s called a pure bread. (bred)”

83. I love plumeria flowers. (Thank you Maui.)
84. I read voraciously.
85. I still have the same dresser drawers that I had in 5th grade. (And I don't mean somewhere in the house tucked away. It is still my primary dresser.)
