15. I like to sing, but not in public.

17. When I was young I wanted to grow up to be an architect like Mike Brady.
18. I also thought Luke Duke was hot. (And Ralph Macchio and Michael J Fox too)

22. My favorite movie of all time is The Princess Bride.
23. Currently, I think Josh Lucas is the hottest actor around. (but he's not hotter than Dave, of course).

25. I enjoy playing Wii, especially bowling, and lead singer on "Rock Band"
26. I want my very own ipod.
27. I also want a shredder.

53. Spending time with Dave is my favorite thing to do.
54. I miss all of my siblings.
55. I really miss my Dad.
56. I want to stay in better touch with friends and family than I do. I truly have good intentions.

58. If I have to watch a sports game I prefer baseball.
59. I learned soon after marrying Dave that if I hoped to have any reasonable conversation at all during the months of April to October I'd better learn fluent baseball lingo.
60. Our favorite restaruant used to be Stanfords...until they got rid of their cheesy bread. Now it's Jimmy Mac's Roadhouse.
61. I love bookstores. they make me have to go to the bathroom. (that's not why I love them...they just do.)
62. I love Coca-cola. The real thing. I can't give it up, don't ask me to. I've tried. I just get mean. Problem? I don't have a problem.
63. Tanning is bad for me, but it feels so good.
64. I'm glad I grew up when seat belts were optional, you didn't have to wear a bike helmut and you could ride dog in a pickup truck.
65. I know I grew up without the internet. I really don't know how we did it.
66. This country's government scares me. It's too corupt.

81. My favorite color is red.
82. For being a relatively organized person, this list is pretty random.
83. I don't enjoy shopping like most girls do. I usually need to know exactly what I'm looking for and then get in, find it and get out. I hate just window shopping or not being able to find what I'm looking for when I go shopping.
84. I like rules and boundaries. It drives my crazy when parents can't enforce the rules they've set with their kids.
85. I am not good at spelling or typing. I can spell drug names like amitiriptyline and atorvastatin but not use their, they're or there right.

95. I definately have food "texture" issues. I take a lot of flack for it.
96. I don't like any berries because of the above mentioned texture issues and the seeds. Biting into a seed is like nails on a chalkboard.
97. Sunshine makes me happy.
98. More, and more, rain makes me down.
99. Music always lifts my spirits.
100. I am very blessed.

Well, that wasn't too bad. If you've made it this far, I hope you learned at least one thing about me...probably that I'm a dork. That's what I learned. TTFN.

You're not a dork! Or, at least, if you are a dork then I am WAY dorkier than you. ;-)

Ashlee said...

If you're a dork, then I'm a dork! That was fun Michele, thanks for sharing!

Rebecca said...

Thank you, Michelie. I really miss Daddy too. And I love your guys so very much.

I really enjoyed this. I'm trying to take Friday the 10th off for my birthday. Maybe we can have taco soup.
Mom

Jana said...

Great list! I was just thinking the other day that our friendship is so one sided since you are always hearing about me and my problems :o) It was nice to learn more about you. BTW, you are a very cool lady (NOT a dork)!

Jen said...

Great! If you're a dork - so am I! probably a bigger one than you! How else do you explain our friendship? I LOVED your comment about wanting to be Princess Leia...remember "playing" star wars and arguing over WHO got to be Princess Leia and who got to be that other obscure woman in the control room at the headquarters! And remember throwing socks at your dad because he wouldn't let us finish watching Dukes of Hazard so we could moon over Bo & Luke Duke? HaHaHa - Good memories!! But I too am a DORK!

Melanie said...
