I like this. You forgot to tell your favorite colors and your favorite kinds of tea. Remember, I have a theory about tea and personality analysis!

You are awfully picky – and what do you mean this is the first time you’ve read this page!
(I like greens – but never dark greens (like forest)…. but I have no favorite.

This is so very interesting, I think I will try this but I have to give some space between reading yours as I don’t want to be influenced. I think this is a great way to get to know oneself. Do 50 and then do 50 again. It gets harder I would suppose as you weed out the easy things. The safe things. A great way to get to know me.
Thanks, I want to get to know me, I hear that God did a hands job with me, (and others), so seeing as how other people like to hang out with me, I am going to find out why.

Hey Quietone!
I had fun doing it. I kept trying to get dh to help me but he was very stubborn about it
. The other list I’ve been trying to do is 100 of my Favorite Things. That’s a hard list (I think most people do this list as 100 but I was too scared to try for that many).
A really fun idea is to put the numbers in a journal or notebook and fill it in over time. Whenever you get a good idea just jot it down. This list always makes me smile, it’s amazing the variety of things you like, or the little quirks that make you You. Share your list when you finish it!
