All the way to 100

I got to #60 on my personal trivia, so here's 61-100.

61 - I was born in Brooklyn and have lived there all my life.
62 - Up until 2 days before my ultrasound at 15 weeks I was sure Brendan was going to be a girl. It suddenly hit me that he was a boy and ultrasound confirmed it.
63 - If he had been a girl his name would have been Olivia Claire.
64 - I didn't fly for the first time until I was 21 years old and went to Europe.
65 - I've broken two bones, my left pointer finger when I was 7 and my left big toe last November.
66 - Once I know for sure that I won't be pregnant again, I plan to get a tummy tuck.
67 - My favorite book as a teenager was A Tree Grows In Brooklyn.
68 - I took piano lessons from the ages of 5 through 8. I can pick out a tune a little but can't really play otherwise.
69 - My first job was at age 15 in a bakery in the mall. I made $3.35 an hour. I saved all my money until I had almost $300 and bought myself a VCR.
70 - I can sleep with my eyes open, a valuable skill from my schooldays.
71 - I haven't had a partner since April of 2001.
72 - I've had insomnia since I was 9 years old.
73 - But I love a good night's sleep and would lounge in bed all morning if I could.
74 - I prefer peanut M&Ms to plain.
75 - I love shopping, whether IRL or online.
76 - I'm addicted to hydrocortisone ointment on my lips, literally. I had an infection several years ago and needed to use hydrocortisone to clear it up and ever since then if I try to stop using it my lips get red and peel.
77 - I would love to own my own home and have a backyard for Brendan to run around in. I'm always trying to figure out how to make that happen.
78- My default TV watching is the Food Network, Discovery Health Channel and TVLand.
79 - I'm nearsighted and need glasses for distance. I rarely wear them except for driving and going to the movies. I also have astigmatism and a lazy eye that I had to do eye exercises for as a kid.
80 - I wish I had more artistic ability and that I was more creative.
81 - I don't like any pulp in my orange juice.
82 - I never wear sandals because I have nasty looking toes.
83 - I spend too much time vegging out. My regular exercise is walking at lunch when I'm at work and chasing Brendan around at home.
84 - I only knew one of my grandparents. My paternal grandmother died 2 months before I was born. My maternal grandfather died when I was a year and a half. My paternal grandfather lived to the age of 99 and died when I was 14 but had had a bad reaction to anesthesia when I was about 5 and didn't really recognize us after that. My maternal grandmother I was very close to. She died 12 years ago yesterday and I miss her alot.
85 - I was baptised catholic, but was born to a catholic mother and jewish father and consequently wasn't really raised in any religion. I'm basically an atheist now but sometimes wish I had more spirituality in my life and consider joining a UU church or other place of worship.
86 - I find the combination of dark hair and blue eyes or green eyes very attractive.
87 - If I work in a group I tend to take over the group. I've done this since I was a kid at school.
88 - But I'm also a peacemaker and don't like to see conflict.
89 - I've never had a surprise party, although my shower was supposed to be a surprise.
90 - I would love to go back to school and become a nurse midwife.
91 - I developed very young and was very busty by 11. For a long time everybody thought I was older than I was. Then I hit my late teens and everyone started to think I looked younger. The older I get the more people seem to think I look young for my age.
92 - I have polycystic ovarian syndrome. I didn't know that I until I first saw my RE in 2001. None of my GYNs ever put together all the symptoms and explained to me what it was. I've never had a regular cycle except when I'm on BCP except for when I came off BCP right before I TTCed.
93 - I love BJ's stuffed salmon. I could eat it all the time.
94 - I take a bus and the train back and forth to work each day. My commute is about 40 minutes in the morning but can be anywhere from an hour to an hour and a half in the afternoon.
95 - I hate letting dishes sit in the sink and usually wash them right away.
96 - Fluffy towels are a wonderful thing and so are t-shirt sheets.
97 - I would love to have a daughter someday. I flip flop between TTC and adoption. I think sometimes of adopting a toddler.
98 - I love the fall when the air starts to get a little crisp and the leaves have turned.
99 - I won a NYC-wide math competition in the 4th grade.
100 - I don't own any pets but would like to get a cat when Brendan is a little older.

Whew, all the way to 100. My brain is tired.
