100 things...

I just noticed that I surpassed the magic 100 posts number on my blog. It was my intention to write a post that day with 100 things about myself. However, now I see it is no longer that day.

Do you think that is how my 40th birthday will be this year. I will be 39 years and 360 days old and then all of a sudden look at the calender and realize that I am now 40 years and 6 days old? I can only dream. (but that would mean I would miss Christmas too - now that would be sad).

Also, when I sat down to think about 100 things about myself...I had some trouble.

So today..I will start my post on 100 things..and see how far I get(and before Esther wakes up and my day changes)...
