In honor of my 100th post I thought I would give you 100 facts about the Cheekster!

6. I love scented candles but many of them give me a headache.

9. I love a good book - nothing particularly trashy but nothing too deep either.
10. I cry at movies.
11. I have a wild imagination.
12. I really didn't want to buy the leather furniture in my den - but now I love it!

21. I have a strange intuition. I just know things.
22. I don't sleep before someone in my family dies (this started when my Grandmother died when I was young and has been happening ever since). If they die from an illness sometimes I don't sleep for very long periods of time. If it is sudden, I only lose a couple days sleep. I never know who it is - but the moment they die (literally) - I sleep.
