ok, so this is all Tara's fault. If it weren't for her I wouldn't even know you are supposed to post a 100 things post! (Thanks Tara:) This was really hard, and at times very emotional.

91. When I was a young teen, my friends and I would sneak into the back of this restaurant and buy cigs out of the machine. We had to be quick because we were not old enough and this one manager was a beast when he would catch us.
92. Less than 10 years later, I work at that restaurant (and for that beast of a manager), and we removed the cig machine due to under-age kids buying smokes out of it.

marri. i woud like to sit down and talk about every single one of these. you are amazing and i love you dearly.
Why can't I remember getting a barbie supermarket? (am I to assume I'm C?)
About that writing thing - get a move on girl. You're a very talented and humorous writer. The world needs to be enlightened by the inspirations of Marri Apos- I mean Glannon :-)
