I’ve been doing a bit of site maintenance over the last few weeks. Mainly messing with my sidebar, but some behind the scenes stuff too. I’m also working on a “Zoot’s Having a Baby” skin which will probably jinx the crap out of me and NikkiZ, but oh well.
I noticed that my “100 Things” is a little outdated AND a little short on the informative end. I decided to update THAT list and add about 50 more to supplement the first list. Don’t tell me if I’ve repeated things, I really don’t care too much.
1. I have quit dyeing my hair in an attempt to A)Find out what my natural color is and B)Perpetuate my cosmetic laziness by not HAVING to re-dye it again. EVER.
2. I’m addicted to office supplies. Namely, pens. I can only remember ONE time leaving an office supply store and NOT buying a new pack of pens.
3. I buy my make-up at the grocery store. That makes some women cringe.
4. I do NOT buy all of my skin care products at the grocery store, only some of them.
5. I still use Excel to do my budget. Yes, I know MSMoney and Quicken are great and blah blah blah. Old dog, here. No new tricks for me.
6. I still sleep with my Ewok that I got when I turned 10.
7. I paint my toenails all the time, but NEVER my fingernails. I do not like to draw attention to my ugly hands.
8. I have two Boston Terriers who always get mistaken for English bulldogs or pugs.
9. I kill almost all potted plants I’ve ever touched. Only with MrZ’s help have any ever remained alive.
10. I even killed an aloe plant once.
11. I’m a klutz and always have at LEAST 12 mystery bruises or cuts on my body.
12. I give all animals their own voices and speak “for” them to other animals or people. Luckily, so does MrZ and LilZ, or else we’d all have been committed a long time ago.
13. I want a red kitchen someday.
14. I hate snobby coffee people. Especially when the scoff at me for asking for “room for cream” in my cup.
15. I do like snobby donut people though. Krispy Kreme is the way to go, if you can. End of story.
16. I collect postcards.
17. Somedays I don’t wear any makeup. And people still talk to me.
18. I used to have a thing for funky socks.
19. I also use to wear fishnet hose and red combat boots to my classes in college. I wish I were still able to pull that off.
20. I used to be a Dead Head. Never transferred to a Phish Head or a WSP Head. When Jerry died? I left the jam music obsessions behind.
21. If you know what that last one means? Good for you. If you don’t? Consider yourself lucky.
22. I still love Birkenstocks.
23. My husband makes me laugh. A lot. And everytime he does, I fall in love with him all over again.
24. Until the next time I fall into the toilet in the middle of the night.
25. I love fruit.
26. I love going to movies at the movie theater. LilZ and I go all the time. And we get the giant tub of popcorn with extra butter. AND candy. AND sodas. We’re movie gluttons.
27. As of right now (7/20/05) I’m 26 weeks pregnant with NikkiZ. I’ve had three miscarriages since LilZ and I’m still very nervous about this pregnancy.
28. But not too nervous to buy cute pink clothes.
29. MrZ is almost the EXACT same amount of years older than his sister as LilZ will be to NikkiZ.
30. I like my countertops to stay clear. I keep most appliances in cabinets. It’s an OCD thing.
31. I don’t EVER, EVER, EVERY blow dry my hair. I have a hair dryer JUST for company.
32. LilZ reads my blog and I hope doesn’t ever get embarassed by it. And if he does? I’ll totally start posting pictures of his naked baby ass all over it to show him what REAL embarassment is.
33. I’m loving like that.
34. I have no use for a PDA. I like writing and pens too much.
35. Screw this “50 more things” bullshit, I’m stopping at 35.
I stopped dying my hair almost two years ago now…and I love it. The hair is healthy, and I never have to be THAT GIRL with the horrible roots. Not that I would EVER be that girl.
I still do my budgets in Spreadsheets too! I wish I could by my skin care or hair care in the grocery stores. I buy some but I have sensitive skin, I have to be careful..It’s a hella a lot cheaper!
People are always confusing the Bostons w/ Boxers too.
#7 sounds just like me, but just because I’m lazy.
Just to let you know the sidebar on the cafe skin is showing up all the way at the bottom (I am using IE) and every skin shows the “done with errors” icon on the bottom.
Each one of my four animals has their own distinct voice, and my boyfriend and I use these voices when we’re making up stories about what they do when we’re not around…and this is one of my favourite past-times!

I’m with you on 34…I LOVE to write!
I have always “talked” for my four-legged brothers/sons. Until one day I was asleep and my mother was in my room and my Lhasa-Apso CharCole decided he would just talk on his own and said, as clear as day .. “Mama.” It even says on his footstone at the pet cemetary.. “He said Mama.”
I’m addicted to office supply stores and their products to. I am also a pen snob… The only pens I buy come in a colorful 10-pack…Pilot V RazorPoint. They are awesome.
I, too, am with you on the writing thing, because I actually have nice handwriting (one of the few positive things I will say about myself).
With the hair-dyeing thing, though, I tried growing my roots out but it was just too painful. Plus, I like my hair lighter, and I have the finest non-existent hair in the world, and dyeing it makes it slightly thicker.
You and your family are so not alone on making voices for your dogs! My whole family has different voices and personalities for our one little dog. My son’s is the funniest…….he makes the dog out to be a “pimp daddy from the hood”. LOL Also, my best friend and I are both movie freaks! I plan on seeing Charlie and Chocolate Factory this weekend.
I love all the things that make you you.
Okay, I’ll never grow out my hair, cause I did once and it was all gray! (that’s what having kids does to you!)
I miss going to the movies with people who buy popcorn and candy and soda and are movie glutons. It’s what makes movies so much fun!
I love Krispy Kreme’s and my only coffee qual, is that it has to be good.
I fell in love with the Harry Potter theme of your website, and decided to check it out here and there. Now? I’ve read your 50,… er,… 35 things, and I’m really, really enjoying myself. And I give my animals funny voices too! And I love Krispy Kremes too! And I went through a fishnet phase,… although I’m not sure I want to admit/remember that…
So anyway, Hi! It’s really nice to meet you! And good luck with NikkiZ
I would be cautious about threatening Lilz with embarrassment. Two words - lobster hat
