I recently stumbled on a blog post titled 'More than you'll ever need to know' and I was intrigued to read on. The blogger put together a list of 100 things you may or may not have known about her. Some items were sentimental and some just flat out hysterical. It's a difficult thing to list 100 things about yourself. Always up for a challenge, I decided to see if I could do it. So...read on if you want a good laugh, find out something new about me, or just want to kill some time.
1. My real name is Cynthia. I sometimes forget that it's my real name because NO ONE ever calls me that....except staff at a doctor's office. I absolutely can't stand this name (sorry if I'm offending anyone named Cynthia) and I'm also not amused by the fact that my middle name Jane rhymes with my last name Payne.
2. I bite my nails. Yes I know it's a terrible habit. I've done it since I was a little girl and not even hot pepper sauce can break my addiction.
3. I spend way too much time obsessing about and plucking my eyebrows.
4. I have two obnoxious weiner dogs and I love them to pieces. I don't even mind their nasty breath.
5. I'm obsessed with fruit snacks. I think it goes back to the fact that we never had them growing up.
6. I've been married to my highschool sweetheart for 7.5 years now.
7. I'm a mom of 3 wonderful boys.
8. I live in Henderson, NV and can't wait until the market turns around. I miss Texas more than I can express.
9. I cuss way too much. Ghetto I know, but there's nothing like a good f-bomb to make me feel better. Not around the kids of course. :)
10. I have an older sister that I used to beat up when I was younger. :) We're very close now.
11. I have a fear of growing whiskers in my old age and no one plucking them for me. Weird I know.

18. I will only eat a banana if the peel has no spots on it. Not even a speck.

Hey Cindy! I found your blog and I love it. Also, we have way more in common than I ever would have guessed. It was like you were writing things about me. Weird, I know. BUt, Mitch Egan was my first kiss too and I was totally weirded out by the whole breastfeeding thing as well! I could go on, but I don't want to scare you!
Take care! The kids are beautiful~
Dearest Cindy,
I don't know how I found your blog but I have so enjoyed reading and remembering your growing up years... Glad to see you are happy and enjoying life. The boys are beautiful!
Connie Springs
Oh my gosh! I have the same dream! Seriously! I have it all the time! What do you think that means?
The locker combination dream...not the other one!
Hey Cindy! I have those same two dreams ALL THE TIME! Does that mean we're OCD????
Well too bad for you that I am horribly amused that your middle name rhymes with your last name...and I will continue to abuse it. ;)
