Leslie 101

Not that long ago I was reading some of my friend Sara's old blog posts. She is a funny girl and something she wrote caught my eye and got me thinking. Sara had written a list of 100 facts about her. I thought that was interesting and I tried to do that for myself. I figured it would increase my self-awareness if nothing else. The first 25 were hard to come by and I thought I was really boring. But I pushed on and I came up with a whopping 115 facts about me, at present. And so, I would like to share these facts with you and also encourage you to make a list of your own.
