I played this game on the very first post when I met Cecily and really enjoyed it. Angie did it too and I loved it again. It's a great way to get to know new blog friends so pay attention.
First off I will start our with a random list of things about myself. Most people do a 10o but even while playing with this list for a few weeks I just don't think I have that much to say about myself.
So here's how it will work . Comment. If you are not commenting now this is the time to come out of lurkdome and do it. I am hoping to see some new readers in this process. In your comments give me something about YOU that maybe those of us in the bloggy world don't know. Those comments will serve two purposes:
** The Drawing!!! One week from today June 20th I will pick a random number and I'll send the winner two shades t-shirts.
our signature style. seamless cap sleeve. Scoop neck. flat merrow stitch on neck and arms. meant to layer. snug fit.
95% cotton/5% spandex machine wash.
I love these shirts and use them to layer under really low shirts or to have the really cute layered look. They are a staple in my wardrobe. Just tell me your size and I will mail them off.
**I'll re post the list with your little known facts so everyone can read about you instead of just me. That way it will be FAR MORE interesting.
So without further ado, 100--I mean 70 things about me (later followed by more things about you).

51. I choked and after several unsuccessful attempts to help me I had to have the hymlec done. I was only in 5th grade and at the time it was very real that I might die.

The biggest earth quake I was in occurred October 1989. It was a 7.1. It was the kind that people died and freeways fell. Earth quakes are unpredictable. No warning. After shocks are common so once you are all scared you get the added pleasure of having it happen again and again! I hate earthquakes!
