So what if I’m using the word wrong. It’s okay to do that as long as you recognize it’s incorrect and as long as I’m the one doing it. I have now claimed that as my 100th post, this is therefore a centennial celebration so don’t hate.
To celebrate this auspicious occasion, I decided to compile a list of 100 things that I could actually do 100 times. Most of them are things I could probably do even more than that, but definitely at least 100 times. Yes, this is a bit self-indulgent but guess what? That’s right…this is my blog so I can do as I please. Don’t worry though, I won’t be doing the same thing with my 200th posting…which, at this rate, I will probably hit by mid-Summer.
