100 things part 2
34 I used to teach scrapbook classes; first in my local store (which is now closed and still makes me sad to think about) and then at conventions like CKU, GASC and ME.
35 Because of the above I attend some crafty trade shows which really was one of the funnest things I've ever done.
36 My friend and I saw the guy from 24 at the JFK airport on the way home from one of the trade shows (the NY stationery show).
37 It was right after 911 and he was getting frisked. He was wearing all black and looked very annoyed.
38 That's pretty much my only brush with fame.
39 My most favorite holiday in the whole wide world is Christmas (I also love valentines day a lot).
40 I don't really like wearing make up, never wear it at home, but if I'm going somewhere I'll put a little on.
41 For extra self-indulgence on a rough day I will go for a Wendy's Chocolate Frosty Root Beer Float (sounds gross, but oh so good)
42 Speaking of self-indulgence, I have never had a massage. I'm not sure I would like some stranger's hands all over me like that.
43 My brother and his wife are both police officers I am so proud of them.
44 I normally don't watch the news, but during the elections I have watched *way* too much of it.
46 I love to go camping with my family (with qualifications, we have an air conditioner in the camper and campground bathrooms have to be semi-clean and bug free, the second doesn't always happen).
47 I think tivo and air conditioning are two of the best inventions *ever*.
48 I love going to the movies, but rarely go because they're mostly garbage (expensive garbage at that).
49 Favorite non-garbage movies: Singing in the Rain, Mr.Smith Goes to Washington, It's A Wonderful Life, (I'm sure there's more but those are the ones I can think of right now).
50 I enjoy reading, love books, my favorite all time fiction series is the Black, Red, White series (aka The Circle Trilogy) by Ted Dekker. Changed my walk with God. seriously. read them.
51 Madly in love with my husband after ten years of marriage.
52 Absolutely love going to thrift stores and garage sales and flea markets.
53 Love anything from the forties.
54 Chips & salsa is my all time favorite snack.
55 I got on an airplane eleven days after 911 to teach at a scrapbook convention in Denver, Co.
56 It was one of the eeriest and yet strangely unifying experiences I've ever had.
57 I've never seen so many determined people being so quietly defiant in all my life.
58 There was just this feeling of, "go ahead and try something." in the air. I don't think I'll forget that day.
59 I have a love/hate relationship with spell check (see #31)
60 My greatest desire is that people would see Jesus for who He really is and get to know God in a meaningful way.
61 It's the main reason I keep coming back to blogging. Because I'm able to reach out to people who I would never meet in person.
62 I love reading the Bible so much. It's amazing how God will show you something different every time you read a passage.
A picture I took of my Bible while camping last year.
63 When I gave my life to Jesus, it was like I was handed this special decoder ring that makes the Bible make sense in ways I never expected.
64 I wish *everyone* would give their lives to Jesus and get that ring! It is so cool!
65 I love anything and everything crafty.
66 I'm learning to sew and crochet and embroider.
67 I want to learn to knit and quilt next.
68 I love to cook, but I'm still learning.
69 I'm not very good at housekeeping, but I'm working on it. (thank goodness for flylady)
70 I absolutely *love* homeschooling my boys and wouldn't even consider any other option.

Stay tune for the final installment tomorrow. (If you can stand it)
Grace & Peace,
♥ Melissa~
