81. I'm a simple girl not a Fru Fru girl.

82. Favorite Drink: A Margarita

83. Loves using my Eco-Friendly Bags

84. I have a love for Starbucks

85. I love BLOGGING!

86. I love Bubble Gum Soap. The reason I found this out was when I was a little girl apparently I had a smart mouth on me. This is such a surprise to me now. My mom thought it was a great idea to make me wash my mouth out with soap; however, not realizing it was bubble gum flavored soap. My remark after getting my mouth washed out was "That wasn't bad, I like bubble gum."

87. Thinks that my new favorite season is SPRING. I love the days where I can sit on my porch and relax or lay in the park with a good book.

88. I have a new love for a computer program called REVIT. It makes my life in the design aspect 10 x easier.

89. I love to spend the day watching movies or being pampered.

90. I love the honest truth.

The last one leads me to introduce my best friend Malory from back home.

She wrote 10 HONEST things about me.

91. Jess is the type of friend once you're her friend, you are FOR LIFE!!!

92. Jess and I have been through the good and the bad and the worse. By God alone did we make it. Just goes to show that true friends are there and last through it all. (No matter the distance or how much time goes by.)

93. Jess was an aspiring infomercial actress too. Ok, so it was us (along with a friend & my sister) at a slumber party. We were goofing off & entertaining with our awesome infomercial-acting skills!

94. Okay, So Malory Missed Numbered. So... Jes is always there no matter for you no matter what.

95. Jess also is a comedian. The same group of girls mentioned above put on a hilarious skit for the Church's Mother/Daughter banquet.

96. She is an AWESOME gift-giver!!! She definitely gives gifts that seem to be custom-made (put together) just for you. Seriously, she knows what to buy.

97. Yes, you know she's creative by now. However, did you know that she can scrapbook? She does a fabulous job!

98. She's bossy. (In a good way!) The girl knows what she wants, when, how, and why.

99. She speaks her mind. (Also, in a good way!) She tells you how it is and how you need to hear it. (Which a lot of the times, you have to do it that way.)

100. She is a great listener. Whether you need to vent, scream, shout, cry, make a joke, chit-chat, or what...she's always there to listen. (Even when I say something absolutely stupid and ridiculous. She just listens, laughs, and then tells me like it is. LOL!)

Hope you have enjoyed this week of 100 Things about Me. I sure have.
Look for the WINNER Tomorrow!
