Ok, so today is my 34th birthday and to celebrate in blogging style I thought I would do my 100 things about me list. I know most people do this for the 100th post, but at the rate I'm going that might never happen! ;) So in honor of myself I present to you 100 things about me - whether you wanted to know them or not!
