New 100 things about me

I was just reading over my "100 things about me" blogs and it was kind of funny. I am going to do the list again. Many of the items will be the same. But many of them have changed. I thought about simply editing the list I already did, but to be honest, I like to see the progression of me...

100. I am a fully grown adult female who is only 4' 9" tall.
99. I have a better work ethic than most.
98. I am very self aware
97. Although I am not married I am in a relationship that is serious enough for me to no longer consider myself "single"
96. I hate the term "boyfriend". Once a person reaches the age of 25 "boyfriend" just sounds stupid. "Other half" "Significant Other" anything at all is better than "boyfriend".
95. I hate the term "Cougar" almost as much as I hate the term "boyfriend".
94. I am very secure.
93. I don't like drinking anything carbonated.

91. I do not believe in God.
90. I respect people who do not believe in God.
89. I have little patience for laziness.
88. I believe that people are the masters of their own destiny.
87. I am not the same person I was before my father died.
86. People who drive in the left lane going under the speed limit irk me to no end.

81. I think people who "people watch" are rude. No one likes to be stared at.
80. I was childless by choice until mother nature made me childless for sure. Still no regrets.
79. I believe if more people were honest with themselves, fewer people would have children.
78. I believe that if there was a test that people had to take before being allowed to procreate, I would not pass it.
77. I used to be proud of what I do. Now I am not, and would give it up if it didn't pay the mortgage.
76. I love the taste of homemade whipped cream.
75. I am probably more greatful that there is an Outback where I live than makes sense to be.

73. I have a brother and a sister.
72. I have two nephews.
71. I wonder if loving naps on weekend afternoons is normal. Every weekend. Now that I have been properly diagnosed, my naps are not as numerous. But still enjoyable.
70. When my cell phone rings, it plays "Snoopy vs The Red Baron".

57. After not getting my first massage until 2006, I now get one about once every 3 months.
56. I prefer spending time alone more often than I like to spend time with others.
55. I have a resume with the sentence "I am really not a people person..." on it.
54. I run 4 days a week, and if I wasn't in the military, I wouldn't run. Ever.
