54. My favorite color would have to be all different shades of green.

77. If I want to borrow twins for the day and be mommy to them, I'm sure my sis-in-law would love the break! :)
78. I'm waiting for someone to invent a self-cleaning house.
79. I figure there are self-cleaning ovens, dishwashers, car washers------why not invent a self-cleaning refrigerator and house. That person would be a very, very wealthy person!
80. I would love to write a book.
81. I have a very wild imagination and like to make up stories about people in the store, driving down the road, etc...
82. That could be a very good reason why my attention span is so short.

84. Sometimes, I seem to go out and spontaneously do something impulsively.

92. I need to hurry up and think of 8 more things.

94. I had always dreaming of having a music room and that dream came true when we moved here 5 years ago.
95. I would love it if someday all my kids could play at least one instrument good enough to play in church.
96. I want all my kids to grow up loving and serving Jesus.
97. I have a desire to a better wife and mother.
98. If I would apply all the things I have learned in all the marriage/mommy books that I have read in my short life-time, #97 would be a reality.
99. I would love to be able to slow down from my fast-paced life and enjoy each and every moment. The last 2 days have forced me to slow down. I can't say that I have enjoyed every moment though! I am fighting a terrible cold. :(
100. I hope you all have a Happy April Fool's Day! I've worked up quite the appetite typing 100 things about myself. I'm going to go eat pizza! :)

There were several things I wanted to comment on, but now I can't remember what number they were!
I didn't know Duane taught you to drive! I also didn't know that you were EVER shy!
Oh yes...my husband did indeed attempt to teach me to drive. To make a long story short, the car ended up having to be fixed. He made me go backwards down a long country road repeatedly. I have been told I need to write that story down. Maybe, one day.....
As for my shyness....Yes, I was once terribly shy. But, everyone I tell just can't believe it! I guess I hid it pretty good. I have long since outgrown most of it. :) Now, I can be so outspoken, my husband and friends are sometimes quite embarrassed. That's another story I need to write down. Maybe for that book I dream of writing, I'll just write down stories of my own life expreriences. Something to pass on the kids, grandkids, great-grandkids, great-great grandkids, etc..... :)
