Happy 100-ish posts...

Well hell, guess who's turned 100.

I guess it's a pretty big deal! Though I really am not too worked up over it. I mean, I've still got lots to say, and I'm happy with what's been said so far.

Thank you to everyone who's supported me throughout these months, and to all those who have commented. It's really nice to know there are people out there. And for those of you who are just readers, thanks for your time.

I have had the great pleasure of enjoying some great conversations and e-mail correspondance with some of you. It's very fufilling to actually learn and converse with people who have read what I have to say. Thank you all.

And finally, a special shout out to Tim. (God, I can't believe I just wrote 'shout out'...). I can't imagine not having our sporratic chats, and I'd like to think we've become friends, even if it's an exclusively 'online thing'. For now, anyway.

So without further interuption, 102 things about me.

1. I'm an only child.
2. My parents just celebrated their 25th wedding anniversary.

8. My dream vacation, as of this moment, is visiting England, and living in a cottage in some small, Miss Marple-esque village.
