I saw this idea on another blog recently, and I thought it was a great way for people to get to know more about me. Basically, I am just going to take the next hour, and write down 101 things about myself.
Whether you read this for pure interest, nosiness, or out of sheer boredom, here are a few things you may not have known about me and may or may not want to read!

Well, there you have it. The mindless ramblings of a baby-brained, sleep deprived, boredom stricken me on a Friday night! Things sure have changed a lot. Gone are the days of being out til 3 a.m. Changing into my evening attire nowadays consists of a night shirt, and fuzzy socks, and a late night beverage is a glass of warm milk!
You know what?!? I wouldn’t trade it for anything 😀
Oh Catherine, you are going to be so sorry you gave me your blog address. 🙂
When you said Rosie I thought you meant Rosie from the View.
I’ve joined the running room and next week is bring a buddy so if you want to join me next Saturday morning to check it out just let me know, you can be my buddy.
French Impressionism is WAY over-rated. 🙂
Okay, no one should ever wear a Speedo. Ever.
My neighbour does pedicures, let me know if you want her card.
Well, Rosie from the View *IS* disruptive! Did she ever patch things up with the Trumpster?
Running Room Eh? I’ll need a pretty good sports bra lemme tell ya! It’s been years…don’t know that I could jog to the mailbox without falling down!
French Impressionism…Tres Bon!
Speedos are pretty much a standard no-no across the board!
I may NEED your neighbours card! My feet could stop traffic. We’re talking cracked-heel-o-rama! Yikes 🙂
I like nuts too, especially salted ones.
I love your blog. I love that you are developing into quite an articulate writer – it doesn’t matter that you can’t spell anymore.
Elanne!!
Love Rebecca
I loved this stream of consciousness, which reads almost like a poem.
But . . . Ha! Where have I seen those words before???
From Call Me Sweetheart (title of your upcoming biography I hope) here is a conversation I will never forget:
Catherine (age 3): I love you Mom.
Mom: That’s good.
Catherine: But I really like you.
Mom: I know. I’m glad!
Catherine: I like eggs too!
