25 Random Things About Me

I typed up this list for facebook, but I thought I would put it on here too for those of you who have not succumbed to the time wasting world of facebook.

1. I got a driver’s license, license plates, bank accounts, a new chiropractor, a new phone number and internet service today.
2. I like to think I’m a world traveler, but I hate to live out of boxes and suitcases. If I’m going to stay somewhere more than a few nights, I like to put my stuff in a closet or dresser.
3. I’m a sucker for cheesy Christmas movies. I try to watch one at least once a month, and during the month of December, they are pretty much all I watch.
4. Since I’m in the process of moving and painting, my whole house is a mess. There are not a lot of places for Abigail to play, so the other day I let her play in my bedroom. She managed to find my feminine products and throw them all over the room.
5. I love, love, love a candle-light bubble bath and a good book.
6. My dog has been sprayed by skunks at least four times in the last several months…including today.
7. I bought a Jeep in Nov, and I have already put 9,000 miles on it.
8. I love maps and directions. If I have been somewhere once, I can almost always find my way back.
9. I’m slightly jealous of my stay-at-mom friends.
10. I’m an extroverted introvert, and I hate having to make small talk.
11. I have cried more in the last year than the rest of my life combined (minus the baby years).
12. I never wear red, but I love painting at least one room in my house red.
13. One of my favorite things is listening to rain on a tin roof.
14. It takes me a long time to let my guard down and truly let people know I’m struggling. Perhaps that is why I find it easier to tell people personal things via my blog than in person.
15. I hate to be weak, needy or inconvenience anyone.
16. I got my first snowboard by winning a boxing match.
17. I think I’m addicted to coffee.
18. I hate cheesy Christian movies, lingo, signs, t-shirts and bumper stickers.
19. I didn’t really think I was a baby person, but I loved the entire process (minus the morning sickness) and I wish I could have more.
20. My favorite part of my day is walking in the door and hearing Abigail squeal and come toddling over to me.
21. I miss my sister Dawn more than I ever let on.
22. When I am really stressed out, I tend to procrastinate.
23. Lately I have been learning about hope…It is difficult concept to wrap my mind around. (Now these three things remain…Faith, Hope, and Love) After the hurt and disappointments of the last year, how do I live in a state of hope???
24. I am one of the world’s biggest klutzes. It is rare that I go and entire day, without spilling something on myself.
25. I wish I had a time machine.
