I wanna talk about me, wanna talk about I...
Okay, so much for the Toby Keith lead in. This is my "100 things about me" post that seems to be going around my stalker friends' blogs....too bad I can't be original and have stuff stolen from me. Here we go:

5. I've only had 2 deserved hangovers.
6. I'm a NASCAR fan.

63. That caused a case of Sleep Apnea.
64. That must not be too bad any more.
65. Because I haven't used my CPAP machine for a couple/few months and haven't noticed the symptoms that I had that caused me to get the machine.
