- I am a Sexy Housewife! (No one said I couldn't write the obvious.)
- I have been married for 17 years.
- I have 3 children: daughter-18, son-12, daughter-9
- I have 2 cats.
- I live in the capitol of a Midwestern State.
- I love bubble baths!
- I only use Vanilla products from Bath & Body Works: shower gel, bubble bath, body spray, shampoo, conditioner...my brother-in-law says I smell like fresh baked cookies, the hubby thinks I smell good enough to......well never mind that.
- It has taken me 10 months to get to my 100th post.
- I started blogging for all the wrong reasons but I have kept at it because I have met such great people here and I just can't stop now.
- I am 5 feet 6 inches tall.
- I have no idea how much I weigh. I last was weighed at the doctor's office about 3 years ago. Then I was a size 14/16 and weighed 186 pounds. Now I am a size 8 and I am guessing I weigh about 130 pounds (that's what my driver's license says anyway).
- I have dark brown hair with red and blond highlights (and not to cover any grey, thank you very much!)
- I wear glasses. (Yes, I have that sexy intellectual look.)
- I am a teacher by trade. I have a Master's Degree in Education.
- I seem to have quite an aptitude for technology.
- I like watching football games. (I am secretly glad my son has chosen football over soccer.)
- I love to sing and I am not half bad.
- I enjoy gardening and sitting in my back yard.
- Sadly though, my horrible hayfever makes it hard for me to fully enjoy #18. But I also use me hayfever as an excuse not to cut the grass.
- I think this is the lamest list of 100 things ever written by anyone.
- I spent 13 years in parochial school. So now I make sure my children suffer through endure benefit from the same.
- We go to church almost ever Sunday.
- Faith and prayer are very important to me.
- I love to cook. I think a good meal can fix a lot of things.
- I get irritated with all the people that speed down our street.
- I understand the need for road construction but it drives me crazy!
- I like taking short little get-aways with the hubby.
- I am an avid reader.
- I like to read suspense, mysteries, some chick-lit.
- My favorite authors include: Janet Evanovich, Sue Grafton, Mary Higgins Clark, Jodi Picoult, James Patterson, Nelson DeMille, Vince Flynn, and Barry Eisler.
- I like a lot of different music: Pop, Metal, New Age, Contemporary Christian, and Classical.
- I cannot stand Country Western (except a few crossover artists) and raunchy Hip Hop.
- I took flying lessons in high school.
- I have fired an M-16 and an M-60.
- I used to want to be an Aerospace Engineer.
- I still would like to fly with the Blue Angels or the Thunderbirds.
- I don't like starting so many sentences with "I".
- I am 38 years old.
- I will be 39 in August.
- I am not big into getting gifts.
- I prefer to spend time with the family.
- The hubby is 42. (I know, not about me but what are you gonna do about it?)
- The hubby's book habit is already taking over the new basement.
- I didn't think I would care too much about having an HD TV, but I think I like it.
- It bothers me that you can’t get good service at many places now-a-days.

- I am not artistic.
- I have no patience for arts and crafts.
- I like painting walls though.
- Hey, I'm halfway through the list!
- I am a descent writer.
- But blogging is a different kind of writing for me. It is a challenge.
- I am more comfortable with technical writing in my field (education), spouting research and acronyms and boring drivel that most people are not interested in at all.
- I can argue any side of an issue, whether I believe what I am saying or not.
- Number 54 got me through college. I could convincingly write whatever my profs wanted even when I thought it was complete crap.
- Speaking of college, I changed my major about 6 times.
- I was Philosophy major for about a year. During which time I took a number of classes where you sat and argued about the meaning of life. I used this opportunity to thoroughly mess with the heads of vulnerable freshman (see #54).
- One class was particularly fun when the Catholics and the Protestants were arguing about whether or not Mary experienced pain during childbirth.
- Once I switched to education, I was astounded by the number of wanna-be teachers that could not perform basic math operations. And I am not talking about derivatives and quadratic equations, I mean they couldn’t add, subtract, multiply, or divide.
- I have too many favorite foods to list.
- But the following would be near the top: prime rib, lobster tail, walleye, brownies, cheesecake, peanut butter-chocolate Rice Crispy bars.
- A high school boyfriend once took me to Red Lobster but didn’t realize how expensive it was and didn’t have enough money. Luckily, I had enough that we could have a nice meal. I didn’t mind but he thought this was some sort of failure.
- I am only a baseball fan when my son is playing.
- I was a gymnast until the 6th grade. (Once you get boobs it is hard to find leotards that fit right.)
- I enjoyed playing basketball, soccer, and volleyball in Jr. High.
- In High School I was a cheerleader.
- I cheered for football and was the only girl on the squad that understood the game. This came in handy when they wanted to cheer “1st & 10, let’s do it again” while our team was on defense.
- I also cheered for wrestling and basketball.
- I was also in the band.
- “What instrument?” you ask. Um, the drums. Yeah, I rocked. Not your traditional band geek.
- I was editor of the yearbook staff in high school.
- I also worked while in high school.
- In fact, I started working when I was 11 years old.
- I would babysit, a lot. One summer I was hired to babysit this little girl everyday while mom and dad worked. They paid me $5 an hour!
- I also had a paper route for a few years.
- I started waitressing when I was 16.
- I also worked at a travel agency one summer.
- Work is where I met the hubby, under the flashing Blue Light at K-Mart.
- I can’t stand shopping at K-Mart now. Only Target for me.
- We planned our wedding in about 2 months.
- And it went off without a hitch.
- Well, except when our 1- year-old daughter started crying when we recessed out of the church. She thought she was being left behind.
- I didn’t get my driver’s license until I was 17. I had to pay for the classes myself so I saved up.
- Another high school boyfriend taught me how to drive a stick.
- The hubby was thoroughly impressed when we met that I could drive his car (a stick).
- I swear I am the only one in my house that knows how to change the toilet paper roll.
- I graduated from high school in 1987.
- I like to do word search puzzles and Sudoku.
- I can’t even do the crossword puzzle in the TV Guide, let alone the NY Times.
- I love logic problems.
- And I do care when the trains will meet if one leaves Station A at 10 AM traveling east at 60 MPH and the other leaves Station B at 10:25 AM traveling west at 75 MPH and the stations are 250 miles apart.
- I hate it when people assume you know nothing about cars just because you are a woman.
- Ditto for technology related issues.
- I really can’t decide which I like better, Mac or PC. Although the Mac guy in the commercials is cuter.
- Oh yeah, and why can’t hot girls be good at math?
- Or science?
- I really love all the neat blogs I have found to read!
- I really love all the cool people I have met online!
- I really hope I can keep blogging for a while. I really didn’t think I would have so many things to blog about.
- I did it! I freaking finished the list! I hope you weren’t bored to tears!
