100th post

Wow, where did that time go? Seems like just yesterday I decided to check out the blogging world after I followed a link after looking for a recipe on how to use cube steak. Now I'm blogging a few times a week or more, reading all these funny, well written, thought inducing blogs by all you funny, smart, sexy (yes Donna-that's for you!) people. In keeping with the traditions I've seen, I'm going to try and find one hundred things about me. Feel free to fall asleep by number 18.....

1-I have never had a ticket-speeding, DUI, parking-nothing.
2-I have a girl crush on Rachael Ray
3-My real name is Tami. Lyn is my middle name-I use it as one word as my first choice was taken on Blogger
4-I love the smell of Palmolive dish soap so that is why I use it
5-I never eat the ends of my french fries
6-I got the tip of my 'naughty' finger on my right hand cut off as a child-my sister accidentally slammed a door while I was learning to walk
7-I have often hid purchases from my hubby and try and pass off as having had them for a long time. If it involves a purse, he knows my tricks. I can usually pass off a shirt or pants.
8-I had braces for 4-1/2 years
9-I want to see Sweden and Norway before I die to check out my heritage.
10-I have my Dad's toes, except for my baby toes-those are little squished ones like my Mom's
11-I almost failed Algebra in 9th grade because I was in love with a boy named Chris
12-I love the smell of Bondo (body filler for cars), black jumbo Sharpies and fresh baked bread
13-I spent 5 hours setting up my Facebook account. My first one got hacked into and hosed up
14-I have a scar on my face from when my sister and cousin swung me in a sheet and I fell out and landed on the bed rail (same sister as the finger-hmmmmm, a pattern is forming)
15-I have always wanted to sing for a living. After being in choir for all my life, we were recorded at a concert where I had a duet. I can't carry a tune and I don't know why Mr. Hamilton let me sing. I quit choir the next year.
16-I have had a crush on Tom Cruise, Jon Bon Jovi, Donny Osmond and Rick Springfield since I was a young girl/teenager. Still hot for them.....
17-I ripped a pair of jeans climbing over a fence at my first kegger at 15-told my Dad a doozy of a lie, but I think he believed me, since I was a good girl. A brat and mouthy, but a good kid
18-I watch the Sound of Music every year and sing along with all the songs, except climb every mountain, cuz that sister can't sing!
19-I didn't get to drive until after I turned 18 since my Dad has several DUI's and no one would insure him if I drove
20-My husband and I are exactly 9 months to the day apart. I told him that when he was born, God created me for him!
21-I'm really vain about my hair color-those damn greys keep coming and tick me off. I pluck 'em
22-My first true love was Mike. I found out many years later that he was gay and I was the 'test' girl to see if he was or wasn't. That made me sad, but he told me that it was a good thing as I was the one who made him question it. And he is the one I was ready to give my 'virtue' to. God I hope my Dad doesn't read this post-it wasn't him Dad, it was Chris a couple years later.
23-My favorite place to be is next to a campfire, or on my deck with a cocktail listening to the birds.

33-I often dream about snakes-and I'm afraid of them too
