For Miss Madison...

Tonight while sitting in our apartment Madison turned to me and said "do you know what we should do?...Have you ever seen on other blogs where people post 100 random things about themselves?" I replied that I had seen similar emails or Facebook posts. Madison then suggested that we each post a list of 100 random things about ourselves and then we can read each other's blogs and find out some fun and quirky facts. So here is my list for Miss Madison and whoever else decides they need too much information about yours truly.
