100 Things

Thanks, Kat for this amazing tag. I don't like getting tagged because if I don't do it I feel like there is something on my To Do list that is not getting checked off. So, I forced myself to think of 100 things about myself. Feel free to skim or skip this post if you so wish.



1. I was born in Ft. Worth

2. I moved to Lubbock when I was 3 years old.

3. I have a birth mark that looks like a cluster of freckles on my right calf.

25. I love Hollywood gossip.

26. When I change lanes in the car, I get really mad if my tires hit the bumpy lane separator things.

54. I buy a different kind of shampoo/conditioner every time I run out.

55. I buy them based on how they smell.

56. I take really hot showers - until the end when I rinse my hair out, I turn the water to cold. It's a really refreshing way to end.

75. I remember getting the Vanilla Ice "Ice Ice Baby" single cassette in my stocking for Christmas.

76. I think that was the same year my brother got the MC Hammer "You can't Touch This" single.

97. I doodle pretty much anytime I'm on the phone. I almost always draw triangles, squares and circles.

We are the same person! I count my steps too! Let's do this more often so we can see how much more we are alike. Love you!

I love when people do the 100 things survey! I will do it soon, as if you don't know everything already... I can't wait to see you next week! Woo hoo!! love you!

Anonymous said...

courtney said...

We have so much in common....like 1, 8 and 9 (seriously ET is so creepy!), and I so do 27!-- I worked at TCBY, too, in Abilene!-- Also, my dad baptized me when I was 13 on his birthday.--We had a ghost in Abilene, Imogene. She followed me to McKinney.--And, Jennifer Garner and I would be BFFs, too--except for the whole Ben Affleck thing which I kind of don't approve of--but now that they are married and have a baby, I guess I can moved past it! ;)

Amy said...

The scratching with your brush and razor is hilarious! I think you need to post about your ghost. I'm really intrigued! I'd post my list but I don't know that I can think of 100 things.

Shanta said...

Oh man, you're hilarious. I'd like to hear more about the ghost. And how exactly you are retrieving the boogers from your child's nose. Do you think of Kidd Craddock as 'talk radio?' You are so funny. I loved reading the 100.

Kate said...

That was so fun to read, and I learned a lot about you! I also used to secretly wish I could be on crutches. Man, those kids in casts had it good! And if only we could go back to the year of M.C. Hammer and Vanilla Ice...classic! Good job on this post Leslie! It was great! Sorry for the overuse of exclamation marks!

Summer said...

I read every one of these, and I really do feel like I know you better now. I love knowing people's idiosyncricies. (I am sure I spelled that wrong, but I am not going to look it up!)

Unknown said...

This was super fun to read- definitely do a post on the ghost in your house(s)......and I too love sour patch kids- the sweet and sour mix is just so scrumptious.

I cursed you when I saw that you had written 100 things about yourself, but for some reason, I just read every frikkin' one of them.

Cris said...

Hi Leslie! This is Cris, your old admissions co-worker. I've been reading your blog for a while, but had to comment on this one because #22 made me laugh out loud. Greeting cards make me have to use the facilities too! So weird...and congratulations on baby #3!

lisajo said...

you are hysterical. i laughed so hard at your 100 things, many of which are the same as me! i did not appreciate how much laughing hurt my c-section incision. thanks a lot leslie.

hejlyeah said...

I loved reading this, and I totally would do it, but I'm outta time. I miss you girl!

swatterson said...

haha...i forgot you like to sniff toxic things..ha!

so email me and tell me why you think the ghost followed you to Abilene!

Sam said...

I was just surfing blogs for the first time in a yea and I cannot believe I read all 100 of those things. FYI James, I would stop arguing about the razors and make sure you wife does not get a hold of your brush!
