100 things about Megan

So one of my best friends heard about my 100 things about me blog, and as she has done some blog series herself, I attempted to get her to join in. Well, simply put she refused, and I ended up being challenged to come up with 100 things about her to post. I accepted said challenge and this is the result: 100 things about Megan. I even finished this before I completely finished the 100 things about myself (still have like 30 to go, but I’m still breaking it up into 6-7 post throughout the month), and it wasn’t too hard…. Just tough finding a balance on what I wanted to post as I wanted to give a variety and not just bland facts about her, I guess to give you a bigger picture so to speak. Also I was told not to put anything too embarrassing… Now I need to move on to 50 things about her sister Emily, only 50 though because honestly I know much less about her, thus her 50 things will probably be a lot more basic. Anyway, I hope you enjoy this Megan.

8. Of her sisters she is the closest with Emily

9. Her first job was working at a Nursing Home

10. This is one of the reasons she loves and feels close to elderly people, even if one of her stories involving working at a nursing home is that an old man once peed on her shoe.

11. Also, she has bathed old people… I find this strange/gross

13. Megan’s first car was a teal Ford Probe
