99 Things About Me

**Update:  Thanks to BabySmiling, I now have updated the list with #49**

This has been going around the blog world lately.  It's supposed to be 99 things about me, but I found that there are only 98 items.  In the version that I copied from, #49 is missing.

Does anyone know what #49 is supposed to be?
