1. My middle name is spelled Ann. Not Anne. Just Ann.

2. I loved my cat. Ask Claris, it was sickening.

3. I'm currently sitting at work trying to not be bored. Who knows if I will even get to 100.

4. After my Weimaraner Maxwell, Zoey is the best thing since sliced bread.

5. It's possible I think that way because she never tried to vault off of my head.

6. Plus she loved to chase the cats and that provided MUCH amusement for me when she was living at my house.

7. In case some of you don't know from Claris, my mother is psycho.

8. She wasn't always that way, although maybe she was and I was too young to notice it.

9. I often wonder why my parents got married in the first place.

10. After watching the financial hell they went through when I was a teenager, I wonder how they stayed married.

11. I remember my siblings and I talking back then about how we wished they would just get divorced already so the fighting and the week-long chilly silences would end.

12. It's a sad thing when you are 13 and would rather stay at school than go home because you don't know what kind of mood Mom is going to be in that day.

13. I find it odd that having parents that are still married makes me a statistical minority.

14. Knowing the hell my mother went through with her mother-in-law I often wonder what she would think if she realized that she was doing the same thing to my husband.

15. Claris and I have talked about laying odds on how long it will take before Pat loses it on her one day.

16. I've told Pat to shoot me if I ever treat our kids the way Claris, FlyBoy and I were treated when we were younger.

17. It's funny how life works out sometimes.

18. I never believed in the whole soulmate concept until I met mine and he became my best friend.

19. One never thinks they will lose their best friend. Mine died 19 months ago.

19. It sounds kind of odd to say that since people always say they married their best friend, which I did. But they aren't the same person. Although I guess since they were each others best friend and they say the dead live on in us, maybe I'm lucky in that I married both.

20. If there is one thing I have learned, it's that everything will work out in the end. It might not be the same it was before but it will work out.

21. Another thing I learned is that having people over to house to celebrate St. Patrick's Day 4 days after a friend has died is not the best idea. Things are said and tears are shed.

22. Sometimes I wonder if I had left NH 6 years ago like I had planned, if Pat and I still would have gotten married.

23. I also wonder what made me stay since I had nothing here to stay for.

24. Maybe it's the fact that it wouldn't have been leaving so much as running away from things.

25. Number 25. 1/4 of the way through!!

26. My greatest goal in life is to not have the financial trouble that my parents had.

27. I don't know all the details, but it seems to me that my mom could have solved many of them if she had just taken the refresher course and gone back to being a RN.

28. This phobia of mine drives Pat nuts as I continually stress about money.

29. Here at work yesterday, we had recess after lunch. Someone found a Superball and we had a Superball contest between the cubicles for about 35 minutes.

30. Recess shouldn't end with middle school. You should have it througout your whole life.

31. Along with finger painting. It could be the new Zen therapy for the highly-stressed business people.

32. I've often wished my artistic talent didn't stop at finger painting. However, Claris got that gene.

33. I'm thinking about having a friend of mine take pictures of me while I am pregnant to send out to Claris since she won't be here for Thanksgiving.

34. However, since I am one of those people who doesn't really care one way or another about being pregnant, it seems kind of weird.

35. I don't want to not be pregnant, but I could care less if I was or not.

36. Pat thinks I am unexcited about the baby.

37. It's not that, just I have so many other things to think about right now it's hard to get excited.

38. He wants another child after this one.

39. I am all set really.

40. I think alot of my aPathy about it comes from having 3 friends who had horrible pregnancies.

41. Mine has been easy actually. No sickness or anything. However, it's hard to let go of the "I never want to be pregnant" mindset you gain after watching friends have horrendous issues with theirs.

42. Maxwell is at the vet today to be neutered. Poor puppy.

43. I've actually run out of things to write about. Plus Claris needs this by tomorrow morning. So instead of 100 things, everyone gets 43 things.
