100 Red Balloons... oh wait, thats not how the song goes!! Shoot!

Well happy 100 blog posts!!! Woooo!!! how will i be celebrating? eh you know, a glass of pineapple juice and a chocolate chip butterscotch cookie, the usual. i've been thinking for the past few weeks that i couldn't believe i was about to hit this milestone... and i was going to Blog something EPIC!!! but then once i wrote post number #99... i have spent the last few days trying to figure out what i could possibly do for this momentous occasion. I'm pretty sure i'm going to let you all down.... so this is my LAME attempt of trying to be less than totally disappointing. i'm going to do a few lists... of 100 of course... hopefully this isn't too daring and i can come up with that many things.
