My 100 things post

A little while back Mark Lee of Third Day posted his list of 100 Things People Might Not Know About Me.. or something to that effect. So, I thought it was cool and started my own list. I got to 73 and quit for a while. Today, Jon Schneck posted his list, so I felt a little motivated to finish mine. It is now completed.

Jon's list inspired one more memory so I suppose I could add one more thing to the list and make it 101 Things? LOL I think the first thing I learned how to spell was Mickey Mouse when I was two. My sister learned how to spell encyclopedia from Jimeny Cricket. So did I. I was 8 and it was a bonus word on my spelling test. I loved Jimeny Cricket for that one. Sometimes I still sing the song in my head when I type the word. LOL

Anyway, here's my list.
