65. I'm going to Ash Wednesday service tonight (Feb 21)
66. I enjoy washing dishes
67. I'm noticing the time line is getting all mixed up...confusing. Hopefully I'll remedy that with dates from here on in.
68. For some reason I like smaller noodles than spaghetti-- don't ask me why!
69. I've been asked, in the past, to say whether I like sunrises or sunsets better, and I can't say as either is better--they are both beautiful
70. I like twilight because the world turns blue

73. I have a stuffed Odie
74. I used to love reading Garfield
75. I'm heading home now to make supper.
76. (Fri Feb 23) Yesterday I met up with a "healthy choice" vending machine. It didn't claim to be one, but every time I tried to select the obviously available "bad choices" ie. mars bar, crunchie bar, it told me to make another selection. I ended up with a bag of chips-- slightly healthier, but as I had been wanting CHOCOLATE, the sour cream and onion chips didn't suffice and I didn't snack at all.
77. I had an incident once, when I was younger, with a sandbox lid and my face--it ended up with me having stiches, and a scar that helps me have a dimple
78. I have a cabbage patch doll, dark skinned, whose name is Heather. I really liked her when I was younger, my sisters and I had crash suits that our dolls wore so that they would be fine should they fall off the bed while we were sleeping.
79. I believe I had to eat cabbage for a month (every time mom had it with a meal) before I was able to get Heather
80. I've lived with a real live Heather-- when I went to Brock University, in St Catharines (in my 4th year)
81. I like to sing, and am usually in choir
82. I played in band, orchestra and a jazz band while in highschool
83. Have I mentioned this yet??? I have two exams next week
84. I met a dog in the office today- Grace is nice!
84. I met a dog in the office today- Grace is nice!
85. I enjoy reading about heretic slapping with my brother Alex
86. I enjoy viewing the wonderful pictures taken by my brother Peter
87. I enjoy reading about my sister Effie and her family goings ons
88. I enjoy reading Kelly's insights, and looking at her wonderful artwork!
89. There are many other sites of friends and family that I like to visit! See blogroll-- I really need to update that at some point!
90. I head back to Ottawa on Thursday
91. My car is getting fixed. Last I heard his parts were in
92. I'm planning on visiting with my grandparents this weekend, and with my Godmother and Goddaughter Anna
93. I weighed my purse the other day-- it was roughly 1 kg
94. I might be going out bowling tomorrow night...weather depending
95. I like to bowl-- usually 5 pin, and my goal is ALWAYS to get above 50, and if I do that- to aim for 100. I usually do get toward the 100 goal
96. I got my umbrella (the somewhat tricky thing that it is) way back in 1997 or something like that...in Montreal. It's lasted well
97. I also bought some shoes that trip- from a store in the subway station in Montreal
98. Sometimes I wear socks to bed- generally in the winter, if my pjs don't have long pants
99. One time, my dad, sister and I walked out onto Georgian Bay (on thick ice) to the island that appeared a few (between 5-10) years ago. It was a fun, but longer than expected trek
100. I look forward to having a family of my own--really would like kids of my own, and can hardly wait for all the pieces to fall into place when God decides it's time.
WOO HOO! I DID IT! (And so did you, reading through all of that!)
