101 Dalmatians

Pongo, Perdita, and the babes. Who didn't love them? One can't help but adore 101 precious little Dalmatian puppies. Let's be honest, we all cheered when the puppies worked together and ambushed evil Cruella De Vil. Classical. Disney did a lot of things right when they made this movie however the most brilliant part was choosing an odd number of puppies. 101. That just stands out. Imagine this: "The 100 Dalmatians." It just doesn't have the same flavor.

The point? This is my 101st post. Everyone celebrates their 100th post and how amazingly awesome their blog is. Well, I like to be a little different. I want how amazingly awesome my blog is to stick in your head just like the title 101 dalmatians. So... HOORAY FOR ME!


I realize how ridiculous this analogy is. I'm using is anyway!


I'm not one to post lots of emotional feel good type stuff here. Every now and again, my deep, sensitive, caring side comes out. I have that side of me, I really do. Today is that day.


It's Thanksgiving time. I'm thankful for a lot and have countless blessing in my life. So on my 101st post I will put 101 blessings I have in my life. I don't necessarily expect you to actually read them all. I just know it's important to reflect. I decided not to be vague with these things so I'm putting specific names and everything.
