40 things about me

Well, I turn 40 years old tomorrow and thought I would share 40 things about myself that you may know or may not have known.  Some of them fun facts, some of them just facts.  Thanks for entertaining me!

I hope I didn't bore you too much.  I have been jotting things down for this list since my sister showed me a blog post of a gal who did this when she turned 40.  I only got to 20 until today and feel I could have gone on and on.
