1. I am not naturally a red head (shocking I know). I have very dark hair naturally.
2. I am double jointed in my hands and can hyper extend my knees and elbows.
3. I love particapting in extreme sports. I SCUBA dive, have been sky diving and have rode shot gun in a NASCAR with average speeds around 200mph.
4. I am addicted to tattoos. I have 7 in total (at the moment) and will hopefully get a back piece in the net 1-2 years.
5. I pride myself in working in a "man's" field.
6. I love photography, but no matter how much I love it and am successful at it, I don't ever want to make it my full time gig.

13. I am a travel junkie. I would rather travel than buy a nice piece of jewelry.
14. I don't want kids...at all. Don't try to tell me that I will later in life, I am 29, I think it would have kicked on by now.
15. My mom is my rock. She is the one that I turn to for advice and when she is gone, there will be a big part of me missing.
16. I want to experience New York City in all of the seasons. Summer is already done, just three more to go!

18. Some may think I am cold hearted because of that, but I honestly don't care.
19. I try not to worry about things I can't control. I am getting better at that.

21. I have a large insurance policy on my husband (he knows about it) because I fear he will die young.
22. I hate cleaning house. I am not sure if hate is the right wor,d it is more like despise.

25. I want to live in Maui at some point in my life.
26. When my husband or mom needs to be a bitch to someone or need to tell them like it is, they call me. They say I have a knack for it. I just think it is because I don't take no for an answer.
27. I have my fair share of celeb crushes and I do have a Top 10 list with Kelly Slater being number 1!
28. I truly enjoy anything that gets me outdoors. Bring on the camping, hiking, biking, etc.
29. My favorite flower is the sunflower. My wedding bouquet was nothing but.
30. I have very fair skin and like it that way. I don't want skin cancer so I am not going to a tanning bed and I use SPF 55. I glow, big deal! :)
31. I love sterling silver rings. I have a nice collection of them and usually wear two on my right hand.
32. I have a short attention span so I usually have more than one thing going on at once.

36. My star sign is a Leo. I love everything about being a Leo and some people can tell it right off the bat.

38. I don't have a tolerance for people that don't take responsibility for the lives that they are leading. Quit making excuses.
39. If I could choose my engagement ring all over again it would be something more like this. I have a thing for blue diamonds. But yet, I would never want my husband to buy that for me as I would rather take a trip someplace.

41. I am confrontational and I am not sure if that is a good thing.
42. I think I have come to the age that I can no longer look cute wearing my tiger ears and tail to Mizzou games anymore and that kind of stings.
43. I have not spoken to my sister in almost 10 years. There is good reason behind that.
44. My favorite colour is red. I associate passion with it.

46. I like to make plans in advance. I don't know why, but I am not good at last minute things.
47. I love "chick" anything, be it chick lit or chick flicks. What can I say, I am a chick.
48. I truly enjoy mellow music such as Jack Johnson, Dave Matthews, and Colbie Caillat. I find it makes me feel good and I can sit back and just nod my head with it.
49. I enjoy a good, white, sweet wine. I am trying to appreicate a good red, but haven't found any I like...yet.

52. I believe if you don't question authority than you are giving up your rights.

54. I would like to run a marathon but probably never will beause my doctor keeps telling me how horrible it is. I truly believe him, but still wouldn't it be cool?
55. Certain songs can totally remind me of someone. I can become obessed with these songs and never get sick of them.
56. I bought my beloved Yoda a memorial stone to go where we buried him. It is truly beautiful. Some find it silly, but it wasn't your dog.
57. My aunt passed away on New Years Eve 2007. That day will never truly have the joy it once had for me. She doesn't have a memorial stone yet. Her cremated remains are in the basement of her house.

63. I really don't like tomatoes. But I love bloody maryes, red sauce and ketchup.
64. I try and volunteer at the Humane Society once a week. I feel that those animals need love even if they don't have a home. I have to take summer off though because it can get a little depressing.
65. I would never want someone to provide for me. I wouldn't have as much self worth as I do now.
66. I am a die hard Mizzou fan even though I didn't go to school there and am from Illinois.

70. I have benign tumors on my body that will get take off February 13, 2009. I can't tell you where they are though. ;)
71. I have learned that if you don't make time for yourself that your life will pass you by without you getting any enjoyment out of it.
72. I own maybe two pairs of dress slacks. My career allows me to wear jeans to work as often as I please and I take full advantage of that.
73. I have apologized to an ex before. It was after I got my heart broken and finally knew what I put him through.
74. I like googling people. I just find it very interesting what the web has to offer about someone.
75. I would like to get down to 145 with my weight, even though at my thinnest I weighed 175 due to all the muscle that I had.
76. I know I should drink more water but can't tear myself away form the Pepsi.
77. I am one of those people that has a large container (it's actually a plastic bucket that you get from the Mizzou football games when you order popcorn) that I put all my spare change into and refuse to take it to the bank until it is full.
78. I seriously don't like it when people that live north of me speak with more of a southern accent than people that live in Kentucky!
79. I am proud that I can pull of a city girl and a country girl without missing a beat at all. You get the best of both worlds.
80. I will always have room in my heart for one special person and they know who they are.
81. I usually laugh when I am in pain. That is the way I was raised though, laugh at it not cry.
82. I can be a little obessive. Mostly with people, it is really strange and I know it isn't healthy.
83. I am actually making an effort to limit my drinking when I am out for the evening and have to drive. There is a first time for everything. :) If I get too tipsy, I will stay somewhere before getting in my car now.
84. For some odd reason I have always liked men that are a decent amount older than me...think 5 - 10 years older.
85. If a man wears a uniform (military, police..basically you have to be able to carry a gun), plays a guitar or is an athlete...you had me at hello! :)
86. I honestly think if you don't like me, than that is your loss. Take me or leave me just the way I am. I have tried the whole molding into someone a person wants me to be and it doesn't work well.
87. I like shoes...a lot. I have a closet full of amazing heels and boots. I think they can truly make an outfit and no matter if you have gained 5 pounds or lost 10, they always fit.
88. I own over 30 baseball hats. A lot of them are St. Louis Cardinals and Mizzou but I have quite a few that are just random. And yes, I have worn everyone of them more than once.
89. I own and wear cowboy boots. I don't care how country you think they are. Have you ever been working with a horse and been stepped on, you well be thankful that you are wearing them than. Plus when you shine them all up, they look damn nice.
90. I have a hard time trying to relax. It doesn't come easy for me at all.
91. I don't like math one bit. It never really clicked with me. I am more of an english girl.

93. A friend of mine told me that there is no hell and I believe her.
94. I own two pairs of footed pajamas and yes I do wear them because I get cold darn it.
95. I will never own a car that doesn't have heated seats in it.
96. I have a stripper pole in my house. No, I am not kidding! I got it for Christmas from my mom. Hey, you never know in this economy.
97. I am Irish and very proud of it. How proud...check it out yourself.
98. I believe in holding out for better and practice it often.
99. I am one of those people that shop for Christmas year around. If I find something and think you will like it, I will buy it, even if it is March and won't give it to you until Christmas. I have a pile in my closet of presents year round. Yes, it is a sickness.
100. I truly feel that I am a very lucky woman and very blessed to have the people in my life that I do and each role that the play. I am very spoiled because of them.
