67. Kissing, smooching, locking lips, making out, mugging (that's what we used to call it when I was in college. I have no idea why)
68. Growing into myself. The older I've gotten the less self conscious I am...which is very freeing. I yam what I yam, I is what I is...corny, I know.
69. I have great hair. My Mother told me that she actually prayed while she was pregnant that I would have good hair...her's is not so good. Apparently she has a direct line to God, because he granted her wish.
70. My husband is well endowed...nuff said...lucky me...(he told me to add that...men!)
71. I have a fairly high IQ. I don't use it, but I've got it.
72. I have an incredible support system. Any crazy idea or scheme I've tried, my family and friends have been right behind me.
73. I don't ever win anything therefore I don't enter contests, buy lottery tickets, gamble, etc. Is this something to be grateful for? Not sure, but at least I'm not losing money left and right.
74. Since we moved to Sun City, I've taken up tennis and I love it.
75. I've made friends with the chick who owned my house before I did. She's amazing. She taught me how to grill. Why did I ever think I couldn't master it? Now, I tivo Bobby Flay's show Boy Meets Grill.
76. I'm slowly but surely learning some Spanish. It's only taken me 35 frigging years. I'm Catholic...way lapsed...so I've been going to Catholic schools since pre-k. It was mandatory to take Spanish and I just sucked at it. Almost didn't graduate from college on time because of it. Finally my teacher felt sorry for me and asked me to tell him in Spanish...The cat is white. Thank god for pity.
77. I had a best friend growing up named Mandy. I loved her. She was like a sister. We were one year apart...she was older. I miss her.
78. My husband picks up all of the dog poop...chivalry is NOT dead!
79. Growing up, my parents insisted that we sit down as a family for dinner at 7pm. I bitched and moaned, but now, I'm really glad they enforced this law.
80. My Mother used to take me out of school on Fridays and we would have a day all to ourselves.
81. I'm involved in my local
Slow Food convivium. I did not grow up on fast food. We typically didn't have soft drinks in the house. Food is to be enjoyed, not to be wolfed down.
82. I'm orgasmic...I've heard it really sucks if your not.
83. Shoes...I need them like I need air.
84. Change in 2009. I didn't vote for Obama, but I'm looking forward to the future.
85. I'm totally content that I didn't have children. My husband asked me several years ago what I wanted for Valentines Day and I told him I wanted him to have a vasectomy. I'm just not maternal. I'm glad I figured that out early and haven't wounded, alienated, fucked up any progeny along the way.
86. I have a sense of rhythm. I love to dance. Here's a funny story. I dressed up like Jake Gyllenhalls character in Brokeback Mountain two years ago for Halloween. My friend and I ended up at a gay bar and NO ONE would dance with me. Apparently I make a really ugly boy!
87. I don't work for anyone but me...I keep telling myself I'm a lazy employee.
88. I have decent sized boobs and I didn't have to pay for them. Lots of tamales are my secret!
89. Being punctual
90. Understanding a french menu.
91. I've always had a lot of "foodies" as friends. I hate that word...someone needs to come up with something more hip.
92. My husband is my best friend.
93. texting...I'm not a phone talker.
94. Being involved with my local Symphony...I chaired a fundraiser this year and I made money...which was a huge relief.
95. My book club...we meet once a month and I always look forward to it. Such a diverse group of woman.
96. I'm glad I'm female...did I say that before? I can't imagine having all of that junk in the way.
97. I'm glad I was a child in 1976 for the bicentennial. There was a contest in my neighborhood. People were allowed to paint on the fire hydrants...it had to be patriotic. It was cool and exciting to see what my neighbors came up with.
98. I'm fairly athletic although my husband would tell you that I'm not. So what if I can't throw a ball...when will I ever need this skill? I don't plan on ever being on Whale Wars. I can ski, play volleyball, do a 360 a wake board, play tennis, etc. Doesn't that qualify as being athletic?! And I could care less if I "run like a girl".
99. Learning to blog has been fun. I actually bought "Blogging for Dummies" and it just took off from there.
100. All of my Internet friends.
101. I believed in Santa until I was 12 1/2.
I have not figured out how I'm going to accessorize this ADAM dress I bought at shopbop. I have a black coral necklace I bought at Mignon Faget many eons ago...maybe I'll try this, but I can't find the earrings. I have this habit of taking off my jewelry all over the house. I need to make the rounds of all my pitstops. I have a charcoal crystal bracelet I got at Ruby Lola's, but it may be overkill. I think I'll wear my Manolo's I bought on Ebay...they are really comfortable and I can get my groove on in them. I promise no hair flipping. I will not dance like a hootchie mama tonight...a little bit of dignity...just a little.
The table is set...just waiting on my flower delivery. 
Probably what I'll look like tomorrow morning.
Stella looks enthusiastic, doesn't she? She's rockin' her new necklace in a sleepy stylin' kind of way. I wish you all a fantastic New Year's Eve. I give you license to punch in the face anyone who tells you, "I'll see you next year"...that so pisses me off!
