100 Things...

I started this blog a couple of years ago but I got bored with it. I am returning. Maybe my blogging will save some poor person from having to listen to me and it may be a healthy psychological outlet to keep me from snapping in traffic and rear-ending someone driving in the fast lane.
So... 100 things to know about me

100. I have road rage
99. I have a Jeep Cherokee that was paid off exactly 2 days ago

89. I have a girl crush on Jennifer Garner
88. Alias is my favorite TV show of all time
87. Alias has warped my mind into thinking that if I'm ever attacked by a thief, a psycho, or a member of the KGB, I would in fact, be able to kick their ass
86. Thankfully, this has never happened
85. I went on an awesome date once to Navy Pier in Chicago

I laughed out loud, Mandy. I can't wait to laugh with you in person soon. Oh, and by the way...I'm probably going to be addicted to lip gloss soon because Nikki bought me some "Lip Venom" lipgloss at Sephora. We're gonna have to take you there when you come. I know you'd love it. Love you!

Lyra! Girl- Sephora is my favorite store! I spent my birthday there 3 years ago getting unasked for life advice from a gay man showing me how to creat the "smokey eye!" LOVE IT!
