100 Things About Me

So, I haven't been tagged to do this or anything but I have SO enjoyed reading other's 100 things that I decided to write my own. I first read 100 things about this girl, and don't even know her, but I was really interested by her 100 things. Then Carrie and her husband Lance wrote theirs and I laughed the whole time. I thought it would be fun to try and think of 100 things about me. So here goes:
1. I love lists.
