In keeping with my narcissistic personality, here's "My 100 Things About Me" for today's post. I'm going to divulge some things about me that most probably didn't or maybe did know about me. I'm an open book as most of you know. Most o f what you will read was b.c. (before children). I have no regrets. Well, there was that time down in St. Thomas....
