100 updated things about myself

When I started this blog 4 years ago I did a 100 things about myself as a way of introducing myself to the blogospher. And since lots of things have happened in that past 4 years I figured it was time for an update. Blue are new, or things I have updated/or added more snark to.  Enjoy!

1. My favorite color is (still), pink
2. I’m a complete girly girl
3. I’m really 5’4 1/2”, but I claim I’m 5’5”
4. My lucky number is 4
5. I prefer even numbers over odd.
6. I'm a talker. No ifs ands or buts about it.
7. If I’m not talking, I am only one of two options A: exhausted or B: mad as hell
8. I can keep a secret in that I won't tell someone the actual secret itself. But I can't keep that I have a secret, secret.  
9. I'm in graduate school pursuing my masters in library and information studies. I will know everything! 
10. I am trying to take over the world one circulation desk at a time.

14. My favorite pie of all time is blueberry. 
15. I have two dogs, who I love dearly, even though they are both so so naughty and spazztastic.
16. I don't think I could ever have another puppy, despite my husband's claim that our kids will convince me other wise. 
17. I cry weddings. But not as much as I thought I would at my own. I was doing great at the rehearsal until Mike lost it and it was sob city the rest of the night.
18. Mike, who has his PhD in sociology, married the worst sociologist ever much to his chagrin.
19. I love to cook and am always trying new recipes.
20. I consider a cookbook an awesome gift
21. Though my baked good may not turn out super pretty, they at least usually turn out super tasty.
22. One of my biggest pet peeves is a picky eater over the age of 7.
23. I will try almost anything food wise at least once.
24. But I loathe cooked carrots, I cannot get past the texture.  It's the same reason I won't eat pate.  
25. Though the reason I can't eat eel is mental.

33. I met my husband through eharmony, and it was worth ever penny.

37. I love roller coasters, but I most definitely can't handle them like I could when I was a kid.
38. I don't like the enclosed water tube slides anymore. I somehow developed a slight fear of becoming stuck in one, so decided that I am 30 and I don't have to like them if I don't want to.
39. My appendix ruptured and had to be removed when I was 6
40. I had my belly button pierced until I was 21; I took it out after a drunk wrestling match went horribly, horribly wrong
41. I don’t have any tattoos

52. I cannot parallel park
53. I think poetry and most song lyrics are an absolute waste on me
54. I think “Sweetest Day” is a bull shit holiday. (unless you buy my chocolate honey. that's cool)
55. I don’t play sports with balls and teams, but I do love going to sporting events. Mainly for the food.
56. I love my Carolina Panthers!
57. Because I love my husband very much, I cheer for the Browns as well (unless they are playing the Panthers. All bets are off when it comes to my Panthers).

75. I’ve run 5 half-marathons and one full one by now.
76. I do consider myself a runner, albeit a slow one.
77. I am an excellent hostess and throw a really good bridal and baby shower.
78. Not being allowed to help with my own bridal shower drove the party planner in me nuts.
79. I will never sky dive, because it scares the ever living crap out of me.  And I have forbidden my husband from ever doing so as well because I see no reason to jump out of a perfectly good airplane.
80. I have also forbidden him from swimming with sharks, getting a motorcycle, or anything else that could get him maimed, even though I'm now on his life insurance.   
81. Text talk is a pet peeve of mine and Mike's. When I got a text message with you-s instead of u-s from him, I took it as a sign to keep him.  
82. I’m terrified of snakes. TERRIFIED.
83. While I'm not super terrified of spiders and can kill them myself, I still prefer that my husband kill the really big ones.

96. I’m a silver lining kind of girl
97. I do believe in the inherent good of people and that most mean the best intentions; it just doesn’t always come through.
98. Sometimes I think I'm actually a grown up
