25 Random Things about Me

This is a tagging thing. However, tagging people is against my religion :), so you can take it up if you want.

1. I like rain at night on a tin roof where I can hear it. I also like it during the day when I don't have errands to run. I like real thunderstorms too, with lighting and loud noises. I don't even mind if it knocks out the power for a bit (just a bit).

2. I have a dog named Mollie, whom I groom myself (which I am not fond of doing).

3. I have owned a house before, but am currently renting.

4. I have two little girls and will have a little boy in about 8 weeks. All 3 will be c-sections, but this is the first scheduled one (which is actually something I am not fond of).

5. I have 2 sisters (one older, one younger) and 1 "baby" brother.

6. I wish I lived closer to family so I would have people to do things with, as well as baby sitters I trusted.

7. I have recently gotten into camping (as long as it isn't too hot, humid, or buggy).

8. I hate humidity... I really do hate it. I would much rather actually sweat than condense.

9. I actually like school. I plan on going back when I get the chance. The online thing just doesn't jive with my learning style.

10. I am scared of spiders.

11. I took a scuba diving class with my hubby before we had kids. I LOVED it and plan on doing it whenever the opportunity presents itself.

12. I went skydiving for my 18th birthday and would do it again in a heartbeat. However, I won't bungee jump or kayak. Something about those things seem unsafe.

13. I got my associates degree in biology in 3 semesters. Not to toot my own horn, but I was able to keep a 4.0. I also had a 4.2 in high school.

14. Biology is very interesting to me. I would love to teach a high school or college class even, but high school/college age kids scare me.

15. I have very curly hair which I have chemically straightened several times throughout my life. I am thinking about letting it go curly again, but I will have to move somewhere out of the south (see #8).

16. I am a fast reader, and enjoy doing it, but I have to have something that is really interesting to me, or I lose interest.

17. I am actually quite proud of some of the pictures I take. Don't get me wrong, I am not really a good photographer and I don't always understand lighting,etc, but, I can bring the best out of my girls.

18. I have a blog because I crave "grown up" conversation, and even though it doesn't really count, I can kinda pretend.

19. I always clean my house before I go on vacation. It makes me feel better to come home to a clean house. I also can't relax until the car is unloaded. I guess I feel like I have deserved it then.

20. My engagement ring belonged to my husbands grandmother who passed away before I met him. I am glad I didn't get to pick it, and he did a good job. No offense, but I think it is kinda tacky when girls pick their own.

21. My favorite food is Italian and I love Olive Garden. Also, whenever at Olive Garden, I get a shirley temple (sprite and cherry juice).

22. My worst pregnancy symptom is loss of appetitie. No really, it stinks to be physically hungry but think NOTHING will taste good.

23. I used to be a morning person, but I am not really anymore. Crappy thing is that I am not really a night person either.

24. I feel like I have accomplished alot in my life and am actually pretty content right now.

25. I am not particularly crafty, but I am decent at copying other peoples crafty ideas and personalizing them to suit my needs.
