93. Today Baby Brother's birth announcements came - I am so excited. I didn't send them out when Little One was born, and I totally regret it.
    
94. I used to ski. Then I had a ski accident - and now haven't skied in years.
    
95. I know my husband would like for me to give skiing another try.
96. I do love staying in the lodge cuddled up by the fire
97. I went to Aruba once and LOVED it. I totally want to go back with my Hubby.
98. Are you still reading this? It seems that I've been working on it forever.
99. I am fond of basement apartments
100. My son is grunting again - time to eat again! (Two days after the first grunting I described...)
     

Phew, I'm glad that's done! Now I can continue on with other posts. I've thought for a long time that I wanted to do this for my 100th post - but who knew it would fall right after I had a baby? It took me all week to get this list together. My computer time is so limited these days. So is my sleep. And, when I have to chose between the two, I'm opting for some shut-eye. In fact, that's where I'm headed right now.
