Because I like lists…

I’ve reached a blogging milestone. This is my 100th post!! ::key music, confetti and balloons:: So, I don’t have a big giveaway in store to celebrate this momentous occasion. But, a little over two months ago a fellow blogger (and someone I know IRL) LCW from Waking Up Williams also reached this milestone. To celebrate the event, she shared 100 things about herself. Since I am also a former teacher who recalls celebrating the 100th day of school in a big way and because I love lists, I thought I’d borrow her idea. Without further ado, I give you “100 Things You Probably Don’t Even Care To Know About Me”…
