100 unique things about me and a new Baggage Blogger!

Hello all!
First off, I’d like to introduce another Baggage Blogger to our little blog-her name is L’ara and she is my close friend. My senior year in high school we were best friends and we were college roommates my freshman year in college. Until I became psychotic about Cheez-its. Hahaha. She loves to cook, watch TV, have great theme parties, shop, and be generally witty and snarky. So I’m sure she will blog to that effect. Let’s give her a big welcome and hope she blogs soon for us!
So in lieu of an actual direction for this blog, I’m just going to my stalled writing stand-by and I’m going to make a list.
Today’s list is: 100 Things that make me different…
1) I can’t sleep if the closet doors are open.
2) I can’t drink a drink with ice if I don’t have a straw, I don’t like when it hits my teeth.
