25 Random things about ME

Someone on Facebook started a chain where they were to make a note that listed 25 random things about themselves. I thought it sounded fun, just a little hard. So if I am going to spend that kind of time on it, then I am going to post it on the blog!

1. I have a shirt fetish. A shirt cannot be on my shoulders – it has to be close to my neck – or I can’t wear it all day. That really eliminates lots of shirts which is why I wear the same type in different colors.
2. I bite my fingernails to the point they hurt and bleed. Every time I try to stop I bite them worse. My dream would be to have nails, but I have no clue if I will ever figure out how to break that habit so my fingers aren’t ugly.
3. I love Tivo. It brings joy to me so that I can still watch shows I enjoy that my schedule doesn’t allow me to watch. I even Tivo Saved by the Bell!!!
4. I have gotten to the point that I cannot function all day without at least 1 cup of coffee – sweet-n-low saves me from sugar so it is not as bad for me. It is a horrible addiction
5. Praying and reading my bible really does make me feel better. Having a relationship with God is the most amazing feeling ever. When I get busy and fall away from Christ I feel something missing in me. It is amazing the love and connection I can have with God almighty.
6. My favorite thing to do after a hard day is run me a candlelit bubble bath with a cup of coffee and just soak my worries away!
7. I LOVE being an aunt. I love getting to spoil my brother’s little boys. I love getting to be there from the beginning. I love that they yell my name when I walk in and that they beg to go with me when I leave.
8. The only place I have EVER worked is the college. I started as a work study 5 years ago, and then moved to part time then to full time. I have had 3 different full-time jobs at the college, but have only worked there. Maybe I am a little scared to go anywhere else.
9. I am horrible at texting. I am slow and not like most people my age with that. But I hate talking on the phone, so I text.
10. I am SO ready for my husband and I to be finished with College. I am ready for him to get the job of his dreams, and me to have more options.
11. I HATE going to the movies. Too many high school and Jr. high kids there that want to be loud. Does that make me old to say that? So sad.
12. I cannot wait – like some days I am way too impatient and am counting down the days – to have a baby. I know the best thing for a baby would be for us to wait a while longer for our lives to calm down, but I am so ready for that time in our lives. I am blessed to have a husband who is excited about it and ready for it too.
13. I am scared to be away from my husband for more than a day. It is kind of like the fear of staying away from home when you were a kid – which I never did because of my fear. He is my security and I need him with me.
14. I do not know how in the world I got so lucky to have the husband I have. He is kind, compassionate, patient, loving and he is so good looking. How in the world did I get him? I don’t deserve him.
15. I wish I knew how to wear jewelry. I love how it looks on people but I hate how it looks on me and I hate how it feels. It took a while to be ok with my Wedding ring!
16. Part of me wishes I could be a stay at home mom some days. I would love to be there through every part of my kids growing up – but I think I would go stir crazy! I cannot be in the house that long. Maybe one day I can have just a part time job so that I have more time with kids but not always at home?
17. I hate cats. They scare me to death. They are very smart and I hate that I think they know what I am thinking. It is just creepy.
18. Growing up I was a major tomboy. I don’t wear dresses. I hate makeup. I love basketball. BUT, my absolute favorite color to wear or to decorate with or just all around is PINK! Weird huh?
19. I hate roller coasters. I am scared of heights. BUT, if they talk me into getting on one, I close my eyes the whole ride, have no clue what is going on but I LOVE it and want to go again. Never will I open my eyes and the next visit to the park I will resist getting on one again to the point of tears.
20. Our first Valentines day together we split a Wii. We decided that roses and chocolates are sweet, but what would we use for a long time and enjoy together? So leave it to us to buy a Nintendo product to celebrate our first romantic holiday together! How could we NOT marry each other after that!
21. I am 24 years old and have a back of the door basketball goal up that I still play with often!
22. I secretly love to cook. I am horrible at it. I am ignorant with it. I don’t have the utensils or pans for it, but in a weird way it is fun.
23. My dad had a drug problem when I was younger. He has been clean for about 6 years. As horrible as that experience was and those memories are, I am thankful I went through it. I would not be the person I am today without those hard times. Being a daddy’s girl made it rough, but the amount of love and respect I have for him now is amazing. I learned about what true faith in God was during that time. I truly learned that if God brings you to it, He will bring you through it.
24. I wish real chocolate milk, Dr Pepper, Hamburgers, Pizza, Enchiladas and chocolate candy or cake were all good for you. I could stick to that diet!!!!!!!!
25. I love poetry. I would love to write songs all the time. I wish we really could do anything we wanted to do – but instead we have to make sure we pay the bills.

Now it is YOUR turn to write 25 Random things about yourself!
