Ok, so I decided that after doing the last meme with the 6 things about myself that I would attempt to do one of those 100 things about me thingies that I see some people have. I didn't really think I could find that many things.....but I did. Not sure how interesting they are....but *shrug* hey.....I tried. It's a start to beef up my profile anyway.

1. I live in NJ, I've ALWAYS lived in NJ. It's boring I know.
2. I've always wanted to move out west.
3. I love wide open spaces and little country towns.
4. I now live in a "little country town" kinda, even though it's in NJ.
5. I rode my bike from Bear Mountain, NY to Boston, MA and earned $2,200 for AIDS research in the process.
6. I went with my friend "Bean", and it was an awesome experience.
7. We rode our bikes 110 miles in one day...and our asses HURT BAD!
8. I jumped out of an airplane in Colorado on the border of Kansas. I knew nothing about the place or the pilot, he could have not even had a license for all I knew.
9. I jumped tandem (with the instructor attached to my back), it's was the most unbelievable feeling ever! I just kept repeating over and over again "WOW, It's sooo beautiful!"
10. I'll never go again...why tempt fate.
11. Mine and my husband's first kiss was straight out of a movie. It was pouring, it was passionate, it was wrong, it was right, it was the most perfect moment ever.
12. I love him more than I ever realized I could love someone.
13. I became pregnant, engaged, married, bought a house, and had a baby in the same year.
14. It was a busy and wonderful year. I wouldn't have changed a thing. AND I highly recommend getting married while pregnant, cause besides looking a little fat in your dress and not being able to drink, you can have your way and people help you more cause they don't want to stress you out.
15. People talk about how much my life changed in the past year, but I don't feel different or stressed about it at all. It's just feels right.
16. I've been engaged before....he was an alcoholic....I never thought it was his fault, but I'm glad I don't have to deal with it anymore.
17. My husband and I tell each other everything, and hold nothing back...NOTHING!
18. We were friends first, which always helps.
19. I'm always afraid that he's a better husband than I am a wife.
20. I have two tattoos.
21. They could get addicting, I would get another one, but Mike doesn't want me to.
22. One is a kinda big one on my back of a Faerie.
23. She's not a prissy faerie, but she's not really evil either.
24. I made sure you could see my tattoo in my wedding dress and made the photographer take pictures so you could see it.
25. The other one is of a Grateful Dead Bear on my lower stomach.
26. The bear didn't do so well with the pregnancy.
27. I had my belly button pierced, but took it out when I got pregnant.
28. I've been to probably over 100 Grateful Dead shows.
29. I still remember the last song I heard Jerry Garcia sing live before he died. Brokedown Palace.
30. I named my daughter after a Grateful Dead song. Althea And I hope she doesn't hate me one day for it.
31. I want three children, don't care that much about the genders, but one of each would be nice.
32. Mike only wants two.
33. We made a deal that if the second is a girl, we can try for the third.
34. I have played Dungeons and Dragons on and off for about 17 years.
35. I love to play elves. Elven Archers are my favorite.
36. I've never been a DM (Dungeon Master), and I have no desire to be one.
37. I've played 3rd addition once, and I like it better, but I have all the books for second edition so I won't change. (I'm sure none of you have any idea what the hell I'm talking about)
38. I go to Renaissance Fairs, and I get dressed up.
39. I LOVE tipping bartenders at the fair so they yell "HAZAHHH to the TIPPAH!!! Thank you M'lady!"
40. I will be dressing up my daughter to go this year. I'll try to talk Mike into dressing up too, but I doubt he will.
41. I used to be a On-Line Roleplaying Game Junkie.
42. I played Everquest a LOT.
43. I once spent an entire summer in the house (when I wasn't at work) playing. And I mean EVERYDAY for hours!
44. I've taken sick days from work to sit in my house on a beautiful sunny summer day to level my character, because I was so close and just HAD to.
45. My friends and I used to hang out - in game - and drink on the weekends while playing Everquest in our own houses.
46. Once we actually brought over my friends computer and hooked it up at my apartment so all three of us could play and drink and be in the same room.
47. We were drinking coffee mugs full of hot sake, and had a ball.
48. I had to QUIT playing On-Line Roleplaying Game games, cause I was addicted.
49. I'm obviously a geek deep down.
50. Most of my friends are also geeks, and they don't mind me saying it.
51. I always thought I was the most normal of all of my friends, which doesn't say much for them! LOL
52. Recently they have become more normal, or married people who were.
53. I used to have a bunch of friends who had Motorcycles, and used to ride on the back of them often.
54. I've done stupid things like ride on the back in shorts and flip flops going WAY to fast on residential roads.
55. In one year I went to 4 funerals and my friend's husband lost his leg, all from motorcycle accidents.
56. I haven't been on one since.
57. I'll never go on one again.
58. I told Mike he can't get one.
59. I don't like telling him what he can and can't do.
60. I don't like people telling ME what I can and can't do.
61. I lost one of my oldest and dearest friends to a drug overdose.
62. I knew it was going to happen and couldn't do anything to stop it.
63. I second guessed my self that I didn't do enough for a while.
64. I'm still not sure if I did enough.
65. I used to be a vegetarian. It lasted a whole year, and then I decided I missed steak too much.
66. It all started because I watched "Faces of Death" the one with the slaughter houses.
67. I'm 100% Italian.
68. I'm the only grandchild in my family who is 100%. (Besides my brother)
69. I never thought in a million years I'd marry someone 100% Italian, but I did.
70. It wasn't something that was important to me.
71. I'd like to be a Stay at Home Mom.
72. I secretly (although not so secretly) wish I would get fired so I could stay home.
73. I used to be very into advancing in work and college.
74. Now that I'm a mother and a wife, I don't care as much.
75. I know that's not very Feminist of me.
76. Sometimes I worry that if I was home all the time I would go crazy, or get fat or something.

80. I like to be one of the guys.
81. I never found it easy to have girl friends.

84. And when I say rare, really.......really......rare.
85. I "teared" when Allie was born...didn't really cry.
86. I DID cry while breastfeeding, cause it hurt REAL BAD, and my hormones were all crazy from post pardom.
87. I only breastfed for 4 weeks.
88. I disappointed myself that I couldn't hack it to do it longer.
89. I've said "things" about other people not breastfeeding, before I had Allie. I had NO IDEA.
90. I talk to my mother at least once a day. More like 5 times.
91. I tell her everything.
92. Sometimes too much...especially when I was younger.
93. I hope Allie tells me everything.
94. I had an appointment C-Section because I was a week late, Althea hadn't dropped yet, and she was already 8 1/2 lbs!
95. Having natural childbirth (even with drugs) scared me.
96. The fact that I was scared of that pissed me off, cause I don't like being weak!
97. I think I'm becoming addicted to my Blog.
98. I'm jealous of Dooce that she can make enough money off her blog that her and her husband don't have to work.
