I think this will be kind of fun and challenging...50 little factoids about me, here it goes:
1. In high school I had crayon
red streaks in my hair and I still think it looked pretty good- sometimes I even consider doing it again.
2. I also had it purple once.
3. I
always wanted to be a Mommy.
4. I love
chocolate and I eat some every day more by habit than anything.
5. My
sister and my
mom are two of my
best friends.
6. I still
sleep with my baby blanket. It is pink and held together literally by threads but when Jason is gone or I am sad it brings me comfort.
7. My middle name is
June after my great grandmother on my mom's side.
8. I get
scared so easily. If Jason makes funny faces at me in the dark I get scared. He doesn't do that anymore...I think maybe he is sick of his wimpy wife being scared of everything.
9. I hate walking up the stairs in the
dark.
10. My dad is Hispanic and he calls me and my sister his "
half-breeds".
11. I love to
bake and cook.
12. Along with #11, I am always trying to re-create things I have at restaurants. I got pretty close to the
Cafe Rio salad and the next thing to try is Chili's Molten Chocolate Lava Cake.
13. Someday I want to be in a
tri-athalon.
14. I've tipped over a couple of porta-potties in my time.
15. I am deathly
afraid of heights. My first year of Girls Camp we were supposed to climb this thing and I couldn't do it. I tried and I think I probably made it 6 feet up.
16. In high school I wrote a very opinionated letter in the school newspaper about how we had to pay $$ to park in a dirt parking lot and they marked up thinks like cup-of-noodles and cosmic brownies but there was plenty of money to build a new gym.
17. My letter angered one of the lunch ladies and she tried to ban me from the cafeteria. My family still laughs about this.
18. We went back several times a day just to prove she couldn't do a thing to me for voicing my opinion.
19. Obviously I am still proud of the letter.
20. I would like to be a
morning person. I used to be but Jason works late a lot and he also stays up very late so I try to stay up late with him.
21. I love to
eat out. I appreciate it so much more now and it seems like we do it less and less.
22. Some of my fave places to eat are... Chipotle,
Cafe Rio, Cheesecake Factory, PeiWei,
Inta Juice, WhatKnot, Magelby's Fresh. Geez, maybe I am hungry...
23. I love to
scrapbook. My two-and-a-half-year-old has four albums.
24. I love to take pictures.
25. I am
double-jointed.
26. I've never broken a bone.
27. I've never had a cavity.
28. If I could, I would wear my sweats
everywhere.
29. I am
6'1/2''.30. I have
big feet. I guess that comes with being that tall!
31. I totaled my first car my senior year of high school. My sister was traumatized by this for a long time- probably until she did the same exact thing.
32. Since we have been married I have become a big
Nuggets fan.
33. I love
fountain drinks. There is a difference- a big difference!
34. I can drive a
stick shift...my car after the one I totaled was a stick...they're kind off fun.
35. #33 means I can drive my
Dad's corvette when he so graciously lets me. (My sister can't drive stick- love ya!)
36. I love to go see a
movie at the theatres. Jason hates it so we don't make it a point to go very often.
37. My b-day is
August 13, 1985.
38. Jason and I were
married when I was 18.
39. Declan was born 1 month and 7 days after I turned 20 barely
eliminating me from the
teenage mommy category.
40. I have a hard time getting to know people.
41. I am really good at having a couple of really close friends rather that a gazillion sorta friends.
42. I love to send and
receive snail mail. It is so unusual and fun to get a note or something in the mail and it makes me happy so I like to send it to make other people happy.
43. I've lived in
CO my whole life and have never been skiing or snowboarding.
44. I am a fish- I absolutely
love to be in the
water.
45. My whole life feels more organized if
my kitchen is clean.
46. I am a
car fanatic- I just know things about cars that I think most girls don't know. I really like muscle cars. My favorite is a 69 or 71 Chevelle or Nova. I get this from my Dad.
47. I am
stubborn.
48. I am also a
worry-wart about a lot of things.
49. I get a kick out of myself. Sometimes I will tell a joke and be the only one laughing and I am okay with that- why?- because
I am so dang funny.
50. I like to
brag about my little man. He makes me smile everyday! Sometimes he is so naughty and I am so frustrated with him but then I think about all the funny things he does and says and how truly
sweet and amazing his personality is and everything is okay. It might help that he is sleeping right now- that also makes everything okay.
I tag anyone who is reading this and has a blog...give me something good to read! Everyone has been super slow on blogging lately so come on-get on it!
