How many of you are onfacebook? The “25 Things Meme” has taken over enough to catch the attention of Time Magazine. Several friends tagged me, but for some reason (I can’t remember why), I refused to do it until a certain number of people tagged me. I promised if that many people tagged me, I would not only write 25 random things about myself, I would write 100 and post them on my blog. Now, I gotta tell you: this was more difficult than I expected! I’ve had this blog for more than two years, so coming up with 100 things I haven’t already talked about was definitely a challenge. But 30 people tagged me, so here it is. The List.

1. I love old men, not in a sick, twisted sort of way, but in an endearing “aren’t they cute and funny” kind of way. I find them absolutely hysterical.

2. I have many secret ambitions: to be a chef; to act in just one movie; to author a book or two; to design wedding gowns; to be a photojournalist; to travel the world; to be a prettier, nicer Martha Stewart …
3. I completely forget all my secret ambitions when faced with a single opportunity to share God with someone else.
4. My right pinky finger is massively crooked. It got slammed in a truck door when I was five, but because I could still bend it, my dad believed it wasn’t really broken and I didn’t need the hospital.
5. I’m obsessively careful not to slam my kids’ fingers in doors.
6. I’m also a little bitter that I could never be a hand model or an Allstate insurance salesman. They have to have good hands.
7. As a kid I would jump out of trees in an attempt to break one or both of my legs. I thought crutches were cool. Read the rest of this entry →
