    66)  As a teenager I used to work alone in a 7-Eleven convenience store. Customers knew I was alone and they shoplifted all the time. I was never robbed for money at gunpoint. All they wanted was Beer. I could have totally been arrested for selling alcohol.

    67)  I don’t like chewing gum.

    68)  One time the waitress at a restaurant noticed my name on my credit card and mentioned that she and I had the same first name. Then she blurted out, “how old are you?” After a couple of awkward seconds she went on to explain that she never met any other younger people with our first name. She said that it’s an old name. I lied to her about my age. If she thought about it, she could have asked to see my driver’s license.

    69)  I don’t like my name. Please don’t ask me…

    70)  My husband’s boss used to introduce me as Candy during employee recognition banquets. My name is not Candy but I kind of like it.

    82)   I over analyze everything.

    83)  I like romantic comedies.

    84)  My husband and I laugh a lot. Not at each other.

    85)  I love remembering funny things days later and doing the silly grin, inside private laugh.

    89)  I don’t remember people’s names.

    90)  I do remember details about events and situations.

    91)  I love paper. Since the whole world is going paperless, I’m already missing paper.

    94)  We have PS2 and Wii but I’ve never played them.

    95)  We do not have cable TV. Don’t need it, don’t want it.

    96)  I rarely feel the urge to buy the most recent technological marvels. I like to wait until all the kinks have been worked through and the prices drop.

    97)  I have seven nieces and nine nephews.

    98)  I have 37 cousins.

    99)  My favorite meal of the day is lunch. I am a soup/salad and sandwich person.

    100)                      Two of my former boyfriends are married to medical doctors. This has nothing to do with me I’m just fascinated by the fact. The laws of attraction are mysterious.

    Interesting....talking loud threw me (dunno why), the name thing intrigues me (just when ya think ya know someone...).  I'm not sure if lists like these (yup, done one) make me know a person better or make me wonder more about them?  I think it's the second answer.

  • piecedtreasures

    What a neat thing to do!  I enjoy knowing more about you!

    @Deneen - Yeah, I have a large extended family and in order to be heard one must speak up.  My husband comes from a small extended family and he's mentioned that he gets a headache whenever we're all together. It takes awhile getting used to the noise levels of a huge family gathering.


    I agree...these lists make we wonder about people, too. I read the majority of other blogger's lists before I compiled mine because I didn't know how much to reveal/conceal and I hoped it would be interesting. I mean, would anything be potentially harmful enough keep me off the school board, city council or used against me in a court of law.  Not that I'm in consideration for anything but just in case. 


    Ooh, that name thing...you wouldn't believe how many times it's misspelled.

    @piecedtreasures - Thanks for reading. It took me awhile to finish. I still think some items need to be tweaked.
