A friend of mine made a list of 100 tidbits about herself for her 100th posting. It was an amazing list that I absolutely loved reading. I thought I would start making my list for my 100th post and, believe it or not, couldn’t come up with that many things to say about myself. I am not fascinating, I haven't had many life altering experience and I don't do a whole lot other than think about cleaning my house. I figured I better post now before my number got too high (believe me, it was a stretch to get to 70!)! So, here it is .... 70 ridiculous facts for 70 ridiculous postings!

Great list. I'd like to hear more about #24 and, Gator, I've got a VHS-to-MP4 converter for #69 ... YouTube's a waitin!
That was hilarious. I don't think I could even come up with 70 interesting things to say about me.
I'm still laughing very much out loud! You crack me up and you always have!! LOL LOL LOL!! I love it and could've read 70 more for sure. Who would've thought this concept could've been so entertaining, really?
I so agree with the popcorn issue!
I LOVE that you make cookies when you can't think of something for dinner!
"I adore being by myself." Too well written!
#51 cracks me up!!
YOU kill me! LOVE IT!!
#71...I am amazing at performing Les Miserables. I once asked ____ Olson (what was his first name?) to be Val Jean, I was Cosette, and my awesome friend was Fantine. We performed this in my scary house, which was next to a rainbow house. In scary house were multiple mice, and the before mentioned roommate who sang Cher and Mariah and Celine early in the morning.
I just peed my pants! That was hilarous! We HAVE A LOT TO TALK ABOUT!
That was great Lacey. I laughed so hard I almost woke the kids from their nap.
Thanks for the laugh! By the way, I have a goldfish, and I dare you to swallow it!
So I would say TMI but I can't cuz I loved it all! I LMBO the whole time and had to get my husband to read it too.
