500th post - that's a lot of air!

Ok, so I know you don't want to read 500 things about me. Really, who would? I'll just type until I'm done with random things that won't get me put in jail. How about 100?

1. My name is Kerrie Anne.


2. I was called that by my family members for a LONG time.
   
3. I think I went by Kerrie Anne in school.


4. I put a kibosh on it in Elementary school.


5. If my cousins from Texas were to introduce me today, they would say "This is my cousin, Kerrie Anne".


6. Old habits die hard, I guess.


7. I was born in Midland, Tx.


8. I lived there until I was 6.


9. I then moved to Sisseton, SD.


10. I lived there for 18 LONG, months.
11. Winter in Sisseton is L*O*N*G and cold.


12. We moved back to Texas.


13. This time, Odessa.


14. I lived there from 3rd grade until 7th.


15. 7th grade is a big deal in Texas.


16. Huge.


17. Ok, so Huge isn't a thing about me. Wait. It kinda painfully is.


18. Moving on.


19. 7th grade in TX is Jr. High - not middle school.


20. The 9th graders at my Jr. High looked like seniors.


21. The summer of my 8th grade year we moved to Milbank.


22. I felt that the people there were unkind.


23. Not fair. I felt that the people my age were unkind.


24. They didn't seem to like the little blond girl with a southern drawl.


25. They called me a whore.


26. I was going to be in 8th grade and had hardly even kissed a boy.


27. It hurt my feelings.


28. It caused me to sit for hours in my room and practice the way 'Northerner's' talk.


29. Even though I didn't love Milbank (as the sign downtown said I would), I did make some friends whom I adored. (That would be you Richelle, Cari, and Heather. You too Tony!)


30. 8th grade sucked.


31. Plain and simple.


32. I never should have passed. However, my mother said she wouldn't make me go through that hellish year again.


33. Thanks Mom.


34. Repeating 8th would have been worse than my high school years combined.


35. School was hard for me. I didn't care about what I was learning about.


36. I shouldn't have graduated when I did. I didn't really pass all my classes.


37. That was in 1992.


38. I remember not long ago at dispatch, someone was running a driver license and gave the date of birth as 1992. I figured the kid was going to be busted with no drivers license. Uh, no. I was busted because I was old.


39. Growing up, my hair was white blond.


40. I had enormous Chicklet buck teeth.


41. As a result, I had braces in high school.


42. I didn't really mind them.


43. However, now I carry a mirror in my purse because I have to check my teeth when I'm done eating.


44. Sometimes, WHILE I eat.


45. For the longest time, my favorite color was yellow.


46. Now it's pink.


47. I haven't drank caffeine in a month.


48. As a result - NO MIGRAINES!


49. I've only got one speeding ticket in my life.


50. I was a Sr. in high school.


51. I was in MN.


52. The deputy told me he didn't know if he should ask for my drivers license or my pilot license.


53. I would give big money to have seen my face as a result of his stupid comment.


54. I was going 85 in a 55.


55. My fine was $99.60.


56. I bought a money order for $100 and sent it to the people in MN.


57. I wrote a note saying "buy the cop a candy bar".


58. Oh yes I did!


59. I've been in quite a few vehicle accidents.


60. I've NEVER been the driver.


61. I don't like onions.


62. It's the texture, not the taste.


63. When I was growing up, I didn't like tomato's.


64. As long as I can remember, I've had a very low self esteem.


65. It's probably the only thing about myself that I would change in a heartbeat.


66. Sometimes I think my hair is too long for my age.


67. I'm 5'1".


68. That's code for short.


69. My dad is 6'4".


70. My mom is 5'.


71. I don't look like either of my parents. I guess I look like an Aunt of my dads.


72. I wore a size 7 1/2 shoe until I had kids.


73. Now I wear a size 8.


74. I used to wear a size 8 jeans and thought I was fat.


75. I'd TOTALLY settle for that size 8 again.


76. I have green eyes.


77. My favorite eye color is brown.


78. Telling you 100 things about me is hard.


79. I feel like you know it all already.


80. I have a sister named Shannon.


81. She's 2 years older than I am.


82. I have a step brother named Matthew.


83. I don't think of him as a step sibling. He's always just been my brother.


84. I don't recall a year in school that I enjoyed.


85. School was such a struggle for me.


86. My favorite class was accounting.


87. It was probably my only A in my high school career.


88. I didn't take school seriously, but I also had a lot of distractions.


89. Mr. Hirsch and Mrs. K were my favorite teachers. If you don't know them - that means nothing.


90. If I could choose one dead person to spend the afternoon with, it would be my dad's mom.


91. If I could choose one living person to spend the afternoon with (that I don't know) - well, if you don't know the answer, GET TO KNOW KERRIE MEYER.


92. I've always required a lot of sleep.


93. I like to crochet.


94. I learned how to do it in high school.


95. I think my high school class mates would be surprised at the person I am today.


96. I feel like I'm nothing like I was then.
97. Is anyone else sick of this? Let's just get this over with.
98. My favorite fruit is fresh pineapple. I'd never had it until Claire was in the hospital when she was 2 mo. old. I also love apples, grapes and watermelon.
99. My favorite veggies are celery, carrots, green beans and corn.
100. Today is my birthday.

Ahhh - there. FINALLY.
