Behold:

1. I prefer cinnamon over mint flavoring.
2. That includes toothpaste, which is a bit inconvenient considering that 99.9% of all toothpastes are mint flavored. Currently I’m using Crest Whitening Expressions cinnamon.
3. I feel completely dressed in a pair of panties and socks.
4. That could explain why I have so many dreams of leaving the house in various states of undress.
5. Nothing makes me feel so sad as when I want to help someone and can’t.
6. I could only apply the word “love” to one man besides my husband.
7. That person is NOT my ex-husband.
8. I’ve had sex with *ahem* several people whom I didn’t love.
9. I once dated an ex-stripper who was 13 years my senior. It was exactly like you think it would be.
10. My husband and I have been trying to get pregnant for 2 years as of this writing.
11. I’ve had 2 miscarriages.
12. Nothing irritates me quite so much as crooked pictures.
13. I also prefer symmetry over asymmetry.
14. I work for a small government organization whose focus is conserving water.
15. I could make a lot more money somewhere else.
16. I graduated valedictorian from high school.
17. It’s not that hard when you’re getting paid to do everyone else’s homework.
18. I graduated with honors from Tarleton State University, with a bachelor’s in Hydrology and Water Resources, and two minors in engineering and math.
19. That was fucking hard.
20. I really have never liked math.
21. My husband is the love of my life, my soul mate, and all that other mushy stuff that you hear and never know whether or not you believe until it happens to you.
22. He’s a farmer. I always wanted to marry a farmer.
23. We live in a town of less than 600.
24. I wish we didn’t live in a town at all.
25. Mostly so I’d be free to lounge around naked outside.(Like the luscious Hiss)
26. Not to mention I really hate neighbors, no matter how good they are.
27. My husband’s whole family are wonderful musicians.
28. I play the piano, but not well enough to consider myself a musician.
29. Sometimes I really want to escape. When this happens, nothing sounds better to me than riding a horse across an empty pasture.
30. I don’t have a horse.
31. I usually feel like I’m a pretty good friend.
32. I keep two online diaries. This is the only reference in either of them to the other.
33. People have always told me their problems.
34. I sometimes feel like I have been old for a long time.
35. I’m 27.
36. I’m a Virgo, and anybody who knows me will tell you that is true in every sense of the word.
37. I was 17 the first time I met my biological father.
38. I don’t think anybody should get married when they are 18, especially to my ex-husband.
39. I think everyone should leave their hometown for a while, even if they come back.
40. I love Vegas, my husband hates it.
41. This has, on one occasion, led to a very interesting trip to Vegas with a girlfriend of mine. (Read about it here.)
42. I usually go to Vegas with my dad.
43. My husband and I have separate bathrooms.
44. This prevents almost as many fights as our having separate checking accounts.
45. I love to cook, especially for lots of people.
46. I have a very hard time saying no to anybody who asks me to do anything or join any organization.
47. It’s a good thing my husband works all the time or he’d be lonely.
48. I lost my virginity at 18 to my first husband, though we weren’t married yet.
49. I made up for lost time after our divorce.
50. My husband can fix anything. This sounds like a good thing, but sometimes it’s not. It means he doesn’t want to pay anyone to fix anything, even if he doesn’t have time to fix it.
51. I have honey do’s that have been waiting around for almost a year now.
52. Laziness and incompetence enrage me. (Not related to #51.)
53. One of my many comfort foods is cheetos and bean dip. You should try it.
54. I could never be on the Atkins diet.
55. I used to be horribly underweight.
56. Now I’m slightly overweight.
57. I’m 5’11”, and usually weigh around 160 lbs.
58. I’m built like a hooker, very curvy.
59. My husband loves this, but it makes clothes shopping a HUGE pain in the ass.
60. Being 5’11” also makes clothes shopping a pain in the ass.
61. I believe clothing manufacturers only make clothes for women who are short, or women who are tall and horribly underweight.
62. I blame this on the Hollywood image, and wish we could get back to thinking Marilyn Monroe had the perfect body.
63. My hair is long, it falls below my waist.
64. It has been that way most of my life, because I didn’t grow hair until I was 4, and my mom said “I had a hard enough time growing that stuff for you, you’re NOT cutting it off!”
65. Now I’m just used to it, and it’s easy, and my husband thinks it’s sexy.
66. I have a gap between my two front teeth exactly the width of the fattest part of a round toothpick.
67. I’ve always hated it, and swore when I got a good job I would get it fixed.
68. My husband loves it.
69. Who am I trying to impress, anyway?
70. I could never be on one of those make-over shows, because I like myself the way I am.
71. I’m proud to be a Texan, despite the stereotype.
72. There was an appointment set up for my abortion.
73. My mom backed out when her parents told her what an abortion was.
74. I was raised Baptist, but now am a member of the Methodist church because my husband has some serious issues with being Baptist.
75. I’m pretty conservative.
76. For some reason, most of my friends aren’t.
77. I think that may be because I can’t tolerate close-mindedness, and “conservative” has become synonymous with “closed minded” these days.
78. I don’t discuss politics very often, maybe because I’ve always been cursed with being able to see both sides of most any issue.
79. I’ve always been a leader.
80. Still, it’s very nice when someone else will make a decision and I don’t have to.
81. I can read for hours and hours and never notice the time passing.
82. I’m a night person, not a morning person.
83. My husband laughs at me because he says I go 110 miles an hour all the time until I crash into bed.
84. I really don’t care about watching TV, or even movies very often.
85. I feel guilty when I take a day off and don’t accomplish anything, even though sometimes I know it’s necessary for my physical and mental health.
86. I’m very good at hiding my feelings, when I need to.
87. I had 3 maiden names, one of them twice.
88. I don’t trust very many women.
89. I always dated guys much older than me, but my husband is 9 months younger than me.
90. I have always been very close to my mom and my maternal grandfather.

100. I like to grow things.
101. I prefer outside to inside.
