Happy Day Before New Year's Eve!

Well, I think Tom will survive. Hopefully the people who are having to deal with his absence are learning something. (I am NOT meaning his wife in this instance!) Although I doubt any lesson are truly being learned. Tom is the one who is probably learning the lessons such as who his friends really are and what really matters.

And now...back to "100 Things About Me"

21. I am not afraid of spiders, snakes or mice (but I wouldn't want any crawling all over me.)
22. All my animals (like my children) have 3 names:


Jeremiah Jebediah Johnson (at the Rainbow Bridge)
Sable Boo-Boo Kitty
Gabrielle Eva Wants More (at the Rainbow Bridge)
Penelope Hope Kissin' Kiley
Libby McMillan's Weak Moment
Charity Cocoa Diamonds Rowdy
Skyler Nelson Wilbury Harrison


23. Plus nicknames that they answer to like "Char-Bear", "Sky-Boy", "Sky-Man", "Lib-bib", "Bibs", "Hen-Pen," plus pumpkin, cupcake, cookie, and sweetie-pie


24. I can shoot very strait
25. I keep a baseball bat by my side of the bed (plus Libby!)
26. I have taught my girls some self-defense moves
27. My first celebrity crush when I was little (about 6-7) was Donny Osmond.
28. I (along with Bryan) collect autographs
29. Currently I collect Willow Tree Angels & Precious Moments figurine animals.
30. I have just stopped collecting Barbie ornaments (too many!!!) and ornaments in general.
31. Before meeting Bryan I collected horses and unicorns


32. I was named after both my Grandmothers: Edith Corrine Bragg Parks Killen and Helen Gayle Barclay Fischer...I became Corine Gail Fischer
33. I have an aunt, Susan, who is shorter than I am.
34. I have an uncle who is over 6 feet tall (Susan's brother oddly enough!)
35. I didn't think I would like "The Lord of the Ring's : The Fellowship of the Ring" when Bryan asked me to go see it.
36. I have seen it hundreds more times than Bryan by now.
37. Before meeting Bryan, who is a BIG Star Wars collector, I had seen "Star Wars: Episode IV" OVER 365 times. I stopped counting when I went to college in 1985.
38. The first movies I saw with Bryan were Disney's "Lady & the Tramp" and "Blade Runner". Bryan was impressed that I had already seen Blade Runner
39. I am ambidextrous.
40. I have had dreams come true.
41. Another fond memory I have of growing up is driving around on Christmas Eve looking at Christmas lights with my Dad. That is when Santa Claus came to our house. I never understood how Mom or my brother Mark missed seeing Santa EVERY year!
42. After I became a mom, I started the tradition of driving around on Christmas Eve to look at Christmas lights. Now we do it with the entire family, and Santa comes on Christmas morning. No early stops.
43. Growing up I listened to a wide mixture of music: The Osmonds, Dotty West, The Beatles, REO Speedwagon, Styx, Mozart and Beethoven.
