This is sooooo cool! I loved learning more about you. We have a lot in common. I'd go through the list, but I honestly think it would take too long!
In a nutshell, we share fears, a favorite movie, being a teacher but once wanting to be a doctor (me an MD), the fact that I am an English teacher, but like you, Virginia Woolf can make my brain hurt. I could go on . . .
I knew I love you for a reason....I am a purple freak myself. My bedroom is painted purple, purple carpet and bedding. hubby said I could have one room to be in my purple glory. I buy things just because they are purple. I too wish I was a SAHM but go to teach each day instead.
that was fun to read! I don't think I could think of that many things to say about myself!
super fun list! I especially like your excuse for your car crash into a car :) :)
I'm embarrased to say it was quite easy for me to come up with 100 and could have probably done 100 more ;)
Loved it. I too love purple and used to be a teacher. Thanks so much for all the support about daycare. I'm terrified of the sickness thing. Cross your fingers that he has a perfect immune system - ha ha.

virginia woolf actually makes your brain hurt?? either you had a bad teacher or you have a weak brain! (kidding)
No but seriously, please don't write her off. Find someone who can help you through it-- some things in life are worth struggling through: motherhood and Virginia Woolf.
Just stopping by to wish you a Happy Easter!!
Great post. I've found a website that can help you overcome
anxiety disorder and such. Might want to give it a try at www.attackanxiety.org
What a great list. I love these things and given the time I could come up with a few more things to add to my list.
It is fun to see how much we have in common with random strangers, huh! I, like you, hate golf. I mean hate. Ugh!
I found you because I was looking for a "100 things" button for the side of my page, so I googled 100 things blogs. You were there.
