100 Things About Me... 2016 - With Pictures

100 Things About Me… 2016 – With Pictures

It’s been a few years since I last celebrated the anniversary of my birth with 100 random thoughts…so I went back and realized some things never change….

1) Snakes, it had to be snakes?

2) And while I don’t think I am a reincarnate of Ragnor Lothbrook, who died after being thrown in to a pit of adders… those English. It is true Cleopatra died after being bit by an asp. To which Indiana Jones said, “Asp. Very dangerous, you go first.”

3) I went back and read my last 100 things about me, wow that was five years ago.  But

   many of those 100 random thoughts still hold true.

4) Some have changed, I have a new favorite vacation spot… Bisbee, Arizona. 

5) Roger and I went there a year and a half ago, stayed at the awesome Copper Queen.   

6) Because who doesn’t want to stay in a haunted hotel? During Monsoon Season?  Oh yeah, my sister in law.

7) We’re going back this Halloween, Rocky is going with… I am still working on getting her to stay at the Copper Queen. Cross your fingers.

8) Ducky made me a lemon cake for my birthday… I am eating it… diet and all.

9) Yes, still dieting, because isn’t that what women were made for? 

10) So far so good, hypnosis was worth every penny

11) I may go back for a booster shot / session.

12) I have reconnected with a dear friend, it’s like we’ve never been apart. 

13) Friends like that are the siblings of our hearts. 

14) Don is like that.

15) Cathy is like that. Even without the nachos.

16) Hmmm, I’ve been reading a lot.  Nothing you’ve probably heard of demons and witches and the likes. They’re entertaining

17) TV not so much.

18) Although my favorites remain pretty much the same as they were five years ago.  Big Bang Theory, NCIS, I haven’t watched much Castle in the past two seasons. Eureka has long since been canceled.

19) I do have some new favorites….FACE OFF, I’ve been addicted since season one

20) Naked and Afraid.

21) Except for the snakes… can’t they do an episode in Ireland?

22) Does Alaska have snakes?

22 – revisited) okay really, it all revolves around snakes.  So what I am saying is, screw the snakes I love Naked and Afraid... but really, would one season without snakes hurt?

23) I have changed my thoughts about Lady Gaga.

24) No, I do not own a single one of her albums… But, I still think the same of  Justin Bieber.. what a waste of space

25) Crosby, Stills, Nash and sometimes Young will forever remain my eternal favorite group… forever eternal, I just wanted to drive that home

26) Meghan Trainor’s Title was my Christmas CD from Ducky, very good

27) Yesterday, out of boredom I took an IQ test.

28) The toilet over flowed in the middle of it

31) I felt much better.  But Mensa will not be knocking on my door anytime soon

32) Last autumn I bought over 100 tulips, at least 90 made it into the ground

33) For two years in a row not all of the tulips, iris, and lilies got planted in time

34) And with that in mind, more and more I am looking forward to retirement

35) That and the days when I won’t be wasting bulbs and good money

36) I already gave my boss my six year’s notice

37) Okay it was really seven when I told him

38) For years I have forgone joining committees

39) Last year I joined Dancing With Sea Lions

40) While it’s been enjoyable, it has reminded me of why I don’t join committees

41) I did gain a new friend out of the process, Jennifer

42) We go out to dinner about once a month

43) On Wednesday night’s Leigh (still my best friend next to Ducky) and I go out for dinner

45) Double Mushroom Chicken here I come

46) Roger is stuck in the Valley  (ha ha he left me with the cake)

47) The thought that Donald Trump is a serious contender for the Republican nomination scares the SHIT out of me.

48) I wish everyone (including my Mom and Donald Trump) would read the Constitution, and let me be clear in what I mean, “The Constitution of the United States of America”

49) Hey didn’t Lady Gaga rock the Star Spangle Banner at the Superbowl?

50) Note: I didn’t call it the National Anthem because we all know that our National Anthem should really be, America The Beautiful!

50) I bet Gaga has read the Constitution of the United States

51) My Christmas tree, sans ornaments, is still up…

59) And still mid days from 10am to 2pm on KCST 106.9fm

60) Nope, never tired of playing music

61) Dr Seuss is my favorite quote, one by which I try live, Why try to fit in when you were made to stand out.

62) Dude, words to live and die by 

63) I miss my father everyday, and talk with him often

64) When every I find a penny I think of my Grandfather

84) It’s not stopped, but it tears me apart

85) I resent people who have that “I’m Adequate” disposition, especially when they’re not.

86) Who aspires to be adequate? I aspire to be the best I can be

87) To give all that I can

88) Fun Fact:  I try to do at least one good deed a day.. especially on weekends

89) It freaks people out at first, I’m not trying to freak them out

94) My matra is, Everyday in Every way my life is getting better and better.  I should write that in a flowery inspirational font... maybe....

Everyday in Every way my life is getting better and better

99) It took me all day to write this, usually it’s taken just a few minutes.

100) I’m not sure what that means.

101) But I will throw in an extra… Here’s to a great 60^th year, I think it's going to be awesome, and that is to what I am aspiring in 2016. Thank you for joining me.

Sith,
