Amanda challenged her blog readers to write 100 things about themselves. I've seen other people do this and I've enjoyed reading their lists. I decided to try it myself. I know it's a slightly vain thing to do, but I was curious to see if I could actually list 100 things about myself.

Stay at one of your dearest friend's house, stay up late talking, then go out to breakfast at a place called the Cubby Hole. You can only imagine how good the food was. NO JOKE.
You can then drive 3 1/2 hours away to the middle of Illinois to a small town called Peoria, making a few very important pit stops on your way, such as....getting lunch at a 50's drive in called The Polk-a-Dot Drive In.
You can enjoy the sculptures of the classics such as Marilyn Monroe found at the Drive In. Mike especially enjoyed this one. 
You can then make another pit stop to the annual Punkin Chunkin festival which is literally in the middle of nowhere. 
You can revel in the excellent company of the festival and the pleasure that comes from pumpkins being shot out of cannons and catapults. 
You can then finish your drive to Peoria, IL, change your clothes in a Taco Bell, attend a banquet honoring teachers of Illinois, catch up with old colleagues, and eat delicious food. 
For pulling out your favorite old jackets.
For Pumpkin Shmear from Einsteins...
And of course homemade pumpkin cookies....
