I wanted to celebrate my 100^th blog post.  But I’m not always conventional, so I decided to celebrate my 101^st one instead!

I’m going to share with you 101 things about me.  Good, bad and otherwise!  And in a completely random, as I think of them order!

Enjoy!

1. I’m only 5” 2.5” tall.  I’ve been this height since 8^th grade.  And yes I need to add the .5”
2. I have 8 tattoos.  It was suggested that I list each one individually, but I will be a big girl and not.  LOL  I love them all.  And I don’t regret any of them.  I was 21 when I got my first one.  I was in my mid-30’s when I got my right arm sleeved.  Getting the tops of my feet tattooed hurt the worst out of all of them.
3. I had my daughter two months after graduating from high school.  But I graduated.  On time and with high honors.  (My nerdiness goes way back!)
4. I waited 12 years before having another child.  And I won’t be having anymore – thankyouverymuch
5. I have very very thick hair.  Everytime I get a new person to cut my hair the following conversation takes place:  Me – “I have very thick hair.” Hairsytlist – “I’m sure you do.”  Time elapse 5 minutes when they are washing my hair… Hairstylist – “wow, you weren’t kidding, you have a lot of hair!”  Every time this happens.  Without fail.  However my hair is also very straight.  I would love a bit of a wave.
6. I don’t like flavored coffee.  At all.  I like my coffee, coffee flavored.  And black.  No cream or sugar.
7. However, I’ve been introduced to those Starbucks Dark Chocolate Frapa-somethings, and O. M. G. How exactly do they get heaven in a bottle like that?
8. My favorite colors are pink and purple
9. I started running in 2005.  I had never run before that.  I started with C25K and during the first week I remember watching the whole time praying for that 60 seconds of running to be over.
10. Running was the first thing I did just for me.  Someone in my life at the time I started running told me I shouldn’t do it.  She was wrong.  It’s been one of the best things I’ve ever done for myself
11. I learned how to properly swim in February and March for my April sprint triathlon.
12. I started riding a bicycle after 20 years on Christmas Day 2009.  3 ½ months before my April sprint triathlon.
13. Since I started running it’s been a goal of mine to complete a half marathon.  I’m signed up for two!  1^st one August 29^th and 2^nd one October 10^th!
14. I set a goal in January 2010 – to run 250 miles this year.  I exceed that goal as of July 31^st!  251 miles!
15. New goal – run 400 miles by December 31^st!
16. I have never had a cavity.  Or any sort of major dental work.  Worst thing ever (so far), braces for 9 months in high school and all 4 wisdom teeth pulled.  Neither was really that bad though.
17. I have wanted to be a lawyer since we had to learn about the Constitution in the 8^th grade.  Interestingly enough, when I was in Constitutional Law last year I hated it.  But I passed and that’s all that matters, right!?
18. I went into accounting after I had my daughter because it was easy for me and it paid decent.
19. I stayed in accounting for 12 years.
20. After 12 years I decided I didn’t want to get my Bachelor’s Degree in accounting, nor did I want to be in accounting for the rest of my working years.
21. I refuse to get rid of my crutches.  I’ve done it twice before and then needed them.  Now I’m superstitious about it.  They stay.  End of discussion.
22. There is something about my feet that just calls out to be injured.  I’ve broken both pinkie toes (snapped the left one clean in half – it was pointing 90 degrees away from the rest of the toes, it was quite disturbing).  I tripped and fell a couple weeks ago.  Landed on my hands and knees (ya, I’m graceful, what?).  But you know what got injured?  The top of my foot.  How does that even happen?
23. I want to go to Bora Bora.  Really bad.
24. The only other country I’ve been to is Canada.
25. I have never been on a cruise.
26. I really really really (really) want to go on a cruise.
27. I would love to take my son to a baseball game at every major league stadium.  Man that would rock!
28. I am terrified of heights.  I get anxiety just thinking about it.
29. I hate roller coasters.  Partially for the reason above, but mostly because that “stomach in your throat feeling” isn’t fun for me.  I’m not a fan of being terrified.
30. I used to get strep throat all the time as a child.  Docs refused to remove my tonsils.  Then I had strep 6 times in the 9^th grade.  My step mom told the doctors they were taking out my tonsils.  She’s scary.  They took out my tonsils.
31. I love the Oakland A’s.  I even named my son after a former right handed pitcher.  And one of my tattoos is the A’s logo.
32. I love Coach & Dooney and Bourke purses.  Which sucks right now because I am broke.
33. I have seen Ocean’s Eleven 452 times.  Well, actually I don’t know the real count, but I’ve seen it a ton.  I don’t tire of that movie.  LOVE (Didn’t like 12 or 13 though.)
34. Friends is my all time favorite TV series.  I’ve seen all the episodes like 452 times.  This time I don’t think I’m exaggerating.  However, I don’t own any of the seasons.
35. My 2^nd favorite series is Sex and The City.
36. I’ve read all 4 of the Twilight books.  Before they were a thing.  Or at least before I’d ever heard of them.  I loved them.  I’ve seen all 3 movies.  I think the books are much better, but I really do think the movies do a very good job of portraying the story.
37. My newest favorite movie that I could (and probably will) watch a million times is The Hangover.  (“Man, could you please put on some pants?  I find it weird that I have to ask you twice.”)
38. I could eat a chicken burrito every day.  No joke.
39. I hate bananas.  And avocados.  And any food creation associated with bananas or avocados.
40. There is not a single salad dressing I like.  I eat my salad dry.  Or whatever you would call it when there is no dressing.  My step-mom used to try and get me to put mayonnaise on my salad.  Umm eww.
41. I’ve recently decided that I want to not be beaten by the open water swim – and am committing to doing another sprint triathlon.  Probably won’t be until next year.
42. I really, really want to run across the Golden Gate Bridge.  This is lame that it’s even on this list.  I live like an hour away from the Golden Gate Bridge.  I could get in my car, run across the bridge and be home before I finish this list.
43. My ears are pierced a total of 10 times.  7 on one side and 3 on the other.  I think.  Hold please while I count.  Yes, that’s correct.
44. I feel much sexier when I am able to get my nails done.  I love having pretty nails.
45. I had so much fun doing my photo shoot in November 2008.  I love my model pics.
46. There was a time when I wanted to be a model.  I was told I was too short and would never have a “model body.”  I think I was 12 when I was told that.
47. I need to keep a paper calendar.  I have tried more than once to keep an electronic one.  Just doesn’t work for me.
48. I write down every debit, check and deposit in a check register.  Everything.
49. I balance my checkbook to the penny.  Every week.
50. I hate filing.  I have at least 3 boxes of crap, I mean important papers, that need to be filed.
51. I need to hurry up and finish this list.  I only have one more post before I have to post this one.  Crap.  I’m not even halfway done.
52. I am left handed.
53. I’ve been told I have really good handwriting “for a leftie.”
54. I was a cheerleader from 8^th grade through 10^th grade.  I still have my 10^th grade uniforms.  And they still fit.
55. I went through a NWA, Easy E, Gansta rap phase in high school.
56. Remember “Baby Got Back” by Sir Mix Alot?  Think about the very beginning of the song… (Oh. My. God. Becky. Look at her butt…)  Ya – this became and forever will be the “Beki has a big butt” song.
57. I surprise myself when I accomplish things that I never thought I could or would do.
58. I honestly feel like I am here to do something big.  Inspirational.  Take my community by storm.
59. However, when someone tells me I inspire them, it feels weird.  Maybe because I know how hard I fight to just keep myself motivated.
60. Yes, I’m an overachiever.  Always have been.  Likely always will be.
61. I am far harder on myself than anyone else ever could be.
62. I am working on learning how to be gentler and more understanding to me.
63. I’ve started writing a book.  It’s a novel (or will be someday).  I’ve started developing the main character and her history, as well as some of the other characters.  I haven’t worked on it in about 6 months.  I’m looking forward to getting back to it.  Someday.
64. I hate getting my eyebrows waxed.  I mean I like the way they look after it’s done but it really hurts!  You have no idea how much crap I get for this.  “You mean you can stand to get tattooed for hours on end, but you are a baby about getting your eyebrows waxed?”  “Yes.  Very much so.”
65. I am an Aries.  My moon is in Pisces.  So I’m competitive and aggressive, but sensitive?  Aries is fire, Pisces is water – and (not that I’m completely into astrology), I do feel more ruled by my emotions (moon).
66. The day I decided to go to law school I watched Legally Blonde.  I absolutely big puffy heart love that movie!
67. I learned how to crochet when I was 9 from my grandma.  I’ve won 1^st place ribbons at the county fair for stuff I’ve made.  I’m currently finishing up a super cute tank and cardigan.
68. I hate to sew.
69. That is partially why the super cute tank / cardigan is not completed yet.
70. I completely love Facebook and Twitter!  My daughter forced me to get a MySpace account in 2006.  I never really got that into it.  Then some friends from high school kept peer pressuring me to join FaceBook.  I joined in January 2009.  I am completely hooked on, and love social media!
71. The fundraising event, Treading for a Cure, is so much bigger than anything I’ve ever done.  I’m excited.  And completely terrified.
72. I do not like the design of the Nissan Cube.  I think it’s totally stupid looking.
73. My favorite drink is a Cosmopolitan (thanks Sex and the City!)
74. My favorite candy bars are Milky Way bars and 3 Muskateers.  Mmmm nougat!
75. I own 3 pairs of stripper shoes.
76. I also own a stripper pole.  Yep.  Don’t judge.
77. When I started taking classes at the local pole dance exercise studio (iCandy), my step-mom seriously asked me, “This isn’t going to be your next profession, is it?”  Ummm, seriously?  I had to sit down from laughing so hard.
78. When I was in my early 20’s a guy I had a crush on told me that I wasn’t pretty enough for him, that I was just a “Plain Jane.”  I still struggle against believing that is true.  Even though I couldn’t tell you the jerk’s name or what he looked like.  I can tell you if someone told me that today, I would tell them to “Fuck off” and then punch them in the throat.
79. I’ve had my nose pierced since I was in my early 20′s.
80. I one time got perfect balance on the Wii fit!
81. Math was my favorite subject in school.  Algebra was my most favorite.
82. I do not enjoy musicals as a general rule.
83. I enjoy going on long runs by myself.  It’s my me time.
84. I am super proud of my straight teeth and still wear my retainer to this day.  20 years after my braces were removed.
85. I was totally right about #42.  I have now run across the Golden Gate bridge!  Felt great to cross that off my bucket list!
86. I have a serious office supply problem.  I love buying pens, and post it notes, and notepads, & you name it!  It is a requirement for me to stay out of places like Office Depot and Staples.  Back to school time is very scary for me.
87. My blog is not what I thought it would be when I started it.  And that is a good thing.
88. I love diet Dr. Pepper.
89. I do not like fountain drinks.  I think they taste weird.
90. I got on the Jumbo-tron at a San Francisco 49ers game once.  I got picked out of the crowd to answer a trivia question.  I won round trip airfare to somewhere.  But I couldn’t afford to go anywhere, so I think they just expired.
91. I wakeboarded for the first time last year.  It was really fun.
92. I love my iPhone.  Probably too much.
93. I giggle like a teenage boy when I see or hear “69”.  No matter what the setting.  I just can’t help myself.  I never claimed to be mature.
94. I went through a country music phase.
95. I used to go (all the time) to the one country bar that is in our county (Kodiak Jacks) and ride the mechanical bull.
96. I would not ride a mechanical bull now.  Even if there was alcohol involved.
97. This year I started my garden from seeds.  I didn’t buy one starter plant.
98. I graduated high school in 1991.
99. I graduated from the junior college in 2001.
100. I will graduate from law school in 2011.
101. I think it’s kinda cool to have all my graduation years end in 1.

I can’t believe I made it to 101!  Who knew there was that much stuff about lil’ ole me?

If you finished this, thank you!  I hope you enjoyed it!

I enjoy blogging and I am looking forward to many, many more posts!  Is there something you know about me that I didn’t mention here?
