100 Things

This whole 100 Things challenge kicked off by Kristy, updated bySAM and improved upon byStacey and Stephanie, started off fun and has now become the bloggy equivalent of a term paper. No one is more surprised than me. I mean, why stop at 100? It's me, for Pete's sake. I could teach a class. It turns out by #15 or so I didn't find myself that fascinating either.

So, in no particular order, 1-51.

1. I had chronic head/neckaches everyday from around age 13 to 25 until I started Pilates.
2. When I was 13 a boy I had a crush on tried to "crack" my neck like a chiropractor. See #1.
