88. I have always wanted to go to Australia but the long flight does not sound appealing.
89. I was arrested once ---Funny story, I did not pay a speeding ticket because I felt I should not have gotten it anyway so I figured I would show them and not pay it. I got pulled over about 6 months later and by this time I had a suspended license. The cop told me to have someone pick me up and go take care of the ticket...I didn't and 2 weeks later the SAME cop pulled me over and then he arrested me. I thought it was hilarious because really what are the chances of the same cop pulling you over...it took a while for me to convince my mom I was in jail and I needed her to bail me out. She got lost and meanwhile I got arraigned via video. The judge asked me if I understood the charges I said yes...he said how do you plead...I said Guilty...he said obviously you don't understand so I will accept your plea of not guilty and see you in a couple weeks...apparently pleading guilty would have meant I would have spent a while in jail. I went back a few weeks later and paid a 200 fine and it was done. That was my big time in the slammer. I guess I really showed them by not paying the ticket...hahaha
90. I love God but I am not religious.
91. I love love love when I get comments on my blog. It makes my whole day.
92. This list is a whole lot harder then I thought it would be.
93. I love to get mail that is not bills like catalogs, cards and letters...however I do not get many. :(
94. I get sucked in by infomercials. I swear anything they are trying to sell I am convinced I absolutely have to have it.
95. I can not wait for this year to be over.
96. I really hope you all have a very Merry Christmas!
97. and a Happy New Year!
98. I thank you all for your support!
99. I hope their is a massive baby boom next year and all of us in this community have babies.
100. I may complain but I am truly a blessed person!

Whew I am so glad I am done.

I read the entire list! And I learned a lot about you. Thank you for sharing.

Merry Christmas to you and yours.

Whew! What a great list, I learned a lot. It's hard to do that, isn't it? I did 100 things about me for my 100th post, and it took me FOREVER. :)

I heart 50 first dates too. Don't the tears just burst out of you when she sees her daughter for the first time? I had a bad cycle this month and made a mix cd (I know I'm in 7th grade still) and the song that always makes me cry on it is "Somewhere Over the Rainbow" by Isreal Kamakawiwo'ole because that's the song they play at the end of the movie. We'll get over the rainbow someday too.

I hope the progesterone does the trick... I'd push for PIO if your RE doesn't offer it. I hear it hurts bad, but I also hear it's the best.

Good luck. ICLW

I read the whole thing! My favorite part was "big time in the slammer", that was so funny! I'm with ya on that massive baby boom next year - wouldn't that be great!

Thanks for stopping by, and like you I love it when I get visitors - blogging has turned out to be very helpful in dealing with my IF issues.

I read it, great list!!! I'm impressed you got 101!!!!

m said...

Great list! thank you for sharing. It's a great idea, but I think my thoughts would peter out far before 101. I have to admit I started laughing at your last 10. How long did this take you?

And thank you, for your comment and your kind words the other day.
