100 Things about Lori- An update

I found this list dated November 10th, 2008.
Alot has happened since then, so I thought I would update some of these.
If it's not interesting to you, I understand.
but at least I can have a record of the changes I've seen in 2 short years.
Hope you enjoy, or laugh, or reaffirm your knowledge of the fact that I am in fact crazy.
