Top 100 Moments of Tranquility and Chaos

This is by far one of the most common things (or is it themes?) I've seen on all the blogs when I began reading them over two years ago. So I thought I would start right off, and see what I could come up with.....I doubt I'll be able to finish this tonight, but let's see how many I can generate this evening.

100. I am the oldest of three, which was not at all fun growing up.
99. Hence, my two younger siblings ( my brother, and sister) always enjoyed torturing me to no end.
98. I was always told I had to be the responsible one.
97. Ultimately, I wasn't.
96. I was a band nerd/geek in high school.
95. And I loved every minute of it.
94. I played fast pitch softball for a city league for approx. 6 years.
93. I played Centerfield.
92. I was very good, and was named Most Valuable Player a couple of times.
91. That was a long, long time ago; like in the late 70's and early 80's.
90. I haven't really, really played since then.
89. I do miss it, even now.
88. I learned to play tennis when I was in my 30's.
87. I am a very, very good swimmer.
86. I use to be a life guard.
85. I absolutely love all things 80's!!!
84. Depeche Mode, The Cure, The Smiths, Jon Bon Jovi, Cindy Lauper, Flock of Seagulls, Asia, Styx, When
in Rome, Men at Work, Pat Benetar, Van Halen (with David Lee Roth), Foreigner and Loverboy are the
greatest 80's band ever!!!!
83. I'm so stuck in the 80's.
82. That's all I listen to on XM radio.
81. My 15 year old daughter loves the 80's too.
80. She still thinks I'm a dork though.
79. I married my high school sweetheart.
78. We were married for 10 years.
77. It didn't work out; we were too young to begin with when we got married.
76. We are still friends.
75. The greatest thing to come out of that marriage was my beautiful daughter.
74. She is an only child,
73. That makes me extremely sad.
72. I remarried in my mid 30's.
71. I don't have any step-children.
70. That makes me happy and sad at the same time. But truth be told, it makes me more happy.
69. Was just recently told I could never have children again.
68. Duh, I figured that one out about 4 years ago.
67. My husband and I would love to adopt.
66. But we'll have to wait until I finish Grad school next Spring.
65. I love to read fiction!!!
64. To Kill A Mockingbird is one of the greatest books EVER written.
63. Jane Austen rocks too.
62. I'm trying to read all of her novels; like in the movie The Jane Austen Book Club, but so far I'm still reading
Persuasion.
61. I dislike non-fiction, fantasy, sci-fi.
60. I love the power of the written word.

O.k. that's about it for tonight.....I need to fill out some paperwork for my daughter before she can pre-register for her sophomore year of high school, and I want to continue watching a movie that I keep pausing while I'm typing this.

Fondly,
Angie

Most interesting revelations!
I didn't know you loved to swim and that you are a very good swimmer! So let's start swimming, or does it remind you too much of your Ex? Your top 100(40) is very revealing and quite funny, well at least I was laughing. So do you want to go out on a date tonight or what? Mummy movie at midnight....

Je'Taime,

Your Michael.

Always.

My dear hubby,

Thanks for the support in helping me get this blog started, and for actually posting a comment. I'm glad it made you laugh. No the swimming does not remind me of my ex....you're too funny. I would love to go out on a date with you, let's see what the evening holds, shall we?
