51 More Things to Note... (7.21.05)

It was brought to my attention that most people in Blogland note 100 or 101 things about themselves....since I only listed 50 the other day, I will attempt to get to 100. If I have it in me, I will try for 101. If this is boring any of you, you have my permission (and the power) to close this window.

51. I have been to Las Vegas - I gambled for about three days (we were there on a 7 day trip) but then lost at the Roulette table, and I didn't gamble for the remainder of the trip. I did however, bash my head into a marble chair rail at the MGM Grand on New Year's Eve and I think I had a mild concussion.

52. My fiance and I have our own language - we probably are up to about 25-30 words that no one uses but us.

53. I was cut from Kappa Kappa Gamma sorority during rush at UGA in 1994 - and it really pissed me off.

54. I don't like spicy food.

55. My first pets were poodles - Louie & Mimi - that were my Mom's babies before I was born.
