My 100th post

This is my 100th post. You have no idea how astonished I am that I have posted 100 times. My first post was such a question mark whether I would continue. I never thought I would have much to say, much less important enough for anyone to read.

I enjoy reading other blogs much more than I enjoy posting. I'm insecure like that, I guess. It doesn't seem possible that someone would want to read about the things I post. It's all weird, honestly.

I knew my 100th post was coming up and that most people post '100 things' about themselves in order to commemorate the event. I enjoy reading others, like I said, but couldn't imagine someone wanting to sit through something as boring as reading 100 things about me. But, this blog is a record of me ... us ... my children, so I'll oblige. I'm not about to count these things. I'm just going to start listing until I run out of stuff to type. Feel free to read ... or not.
