100th Post!

Wow, this is my 100th post! Emma did a really cute post on her 100th, so I thought I should follow suit. I tried to get Garrett to contribute some things too, but he said he doesn't really do favorites... So here are 100 things about ME! Enjoy!

5 Favorite Books
1. The Standard Works
2. "The Firm" by John Grisham
3. "Go Forward With Faith" by Sheri Dew (Pres. Hinckley's biography)
4. "The Book of Virtues" by William Bennett (I can't wait to read this to my kids)
5. "The Work and the Glory" by Lund (the whole series)

5 Restaurants I Love

5 Desserts I Crave

15. Blueberry cream cheese pie

10 Things you May Not Know about Me
16. I don't really like fruity candy (Skittles, Starbursts, Jelly Beans, etc) but I LOVE chocolate! Especially Dove and Lindt. And I love caramel-y chocolate things, like Reisins (YUM!)
17. I LOVE jewelry, especially rings (white and yellow gold). When I was really little, I remember wanting a ring every year for Christmas/Birthday for probably 5 years... you know, just one of those cheap ones with a cheap little gem (the 25 cent kind). I never got one. But I also don't remember actually telling my parents I wanted one, so... that was probably my fault.
18. My favorite flowers are probably tulips.
19. I'm not colorblind, but I always get the colors yellow and orange mixed up. If they are next to each other I can tell the difference and say which is which, but if you showed me something by itself and asked me if it was yellow or orange, I would have to think about it for a minute.
20. I am scared to death of roaches. If I see one in the house (or anywhere, really) I scream and run away. I really don't like any bugs in the house, but especially roaches.
21. I still don't step on cracks.
22. I HATE pork & beans. I will not eat them, ever. When I was 5 or 6 years old we had them for dinner, and since none of us kids were really eating them, Dad turned it into a contest to see who could finish theirs the fastest. I ate them all and almost threw up (even back then I hated them)! Molly won, but only because Dad ate some of hers to help her. Anyway, pork & beans are probably the only food I will absolutely refuse to eat.
23. I like folding the laundry if it's still warm. Sometimes if I leave clothes in the dryer for a few hours, I'll turn it on again for 5 minutes to heat them up again before I fold them.
24. I LOVE to read! There aren't many things better than curling up with a good book.
25. I hate to drive at night, especially on unfamiliar roads. And in the rain! If it's nighttime and raining, I try to stay home!

5 (Paid) Jobs I Have Had
26. Babysitter (you know, typical teen/pre-teen job)
27. Waitress (eh, it was ok)
28. Telemarketer (miserable, to say the least)
29. Sales Rep (I don't like sales)
30. HR Administrative Assistant (Best job ever - I love HR)

5 Favorite Places to Visit
31. My parents'/grandparents' farm in PA (so fun!)
32. Palmyra (tons of memories)
33. The beach (I love the ocean!)
34. Any Temple (obvious)
35. Anywhere with family, really (nothing is better than family!)

83. I want to make quilts and be good at it. I just need to be better at working my sewing machine.

85. I want to write living histories of my family.
86. Scan all important family photos so they can be preserved and shared with everyone.
87. Be able to play every hymn on the organ (I can do many of them, but some are pretty challenging for me still)
88. I want to read each latter-day prophet's biography (I know you have them all, Mom and Dad!)

94. buy some other materials for other projects I want to do
95. donate it to Church
96. buy a tall bookshelf to replace the short one that's overflowing with books

98. go out for a nice dinner
99. buy groceries
100. fill up the cars with gas
