99 Things

I saw this on an Adoption blog that I frequently read (okay, blogstalk) and loved it. I am usually not a big fan of "tags," but the rules were "if you read it, do it on your blog." And who am I to not follow the rules (*wink*). So the same applies to you all. If you read it, do it -- and post in the comment section so I can see yours!

Here are the rules:
