- I hate scary movies. And if I do watch a scary movie, I have nightmares for about a week. And Steve has to cuddle with him all night long.
- I slept in the same bed as my mom until I went to college. I'm very afraid of the dark, and couldn't stand sleeping in my own bed. Good thing my dad stopped sleeping in the same room with my mom when I was 14 or so. They kept each other up because of the snoring.
- My only best friend really, is Steve. Because I moved around so much, I really don't have any friends from my childhood. And anyone from Sunnyside or Western, well, let's just say my mouth and opinions got me into trouble, and I have lost a lot of friends that way.
- I watch too much TV.

Fun to read! I don't have 100 interesting things about me :) How long did that take?
It took about 2 hours. But I kept being interrupted by babies, toddlers and a husband! I got stuck at about 20 to go.
Cute blog! This is the first time I've come across it. I like this 100 things idea, but I don't think I could come up with that many. I'm almost to my 10th blog - maybe I can come up with 10 things!
That is awesome! Good job, that was so entertaining! I loved finding out more about you!!
