Everybody's doing it...


So why not me? A lot of bloggers have been making up these lists and since I enjoy them so much, I thought I'd try it. I thought it would be hard to do, but once I started I realized it was pretty easy. Then I wondered if that made me too self-involved, to be able to easily come up with this many random facts about myself? I'm going for more Self Aware than Self Involved so I hope I come across that way.
I wrote this list up a good three weeks ago but have been trying to find the time to post it.
I would love to write 100 things about Jeremy or 100 things about Jack, and maybe I will someday. In the meantime, this list is easier so there you have it.

1. I prefer to stay in and watch a movie than go out on the town.
2. I love to sleep and need 9 hours to truly be satisfied.
3. I would give anything to only need 6 hours, I could be so much more productive!
4. I am VERY ticklish.
5. I can be very forgetful and spacey.
6. I hate confrontation.
7. My husband is my best friend.
8. I hate the smell and taste of fish more than anything.
9. I canNOT eat Olives. Gross.
10. I am not a fan of watching TV, though if I do, The Office is my favorite show... Arrested Development used to be my favorite when it was on the air.
11. I like to read but seldom do...unless you count Parenting magazine or House Plan books.
12. I make to do lists then lose them.
13. I make grocery lists then either leave them at home or in my car. Very seldom do I actually have them in the store when I need them.
14. I never put my debit card or my cell phone back in the same spot in my purse and have to search everytime I need either.
15. I drive until the gas needle is PAST the "E", before filling up. This drives Jeremy crazy. Still haven't run out of gas though.
16. I love Jack's giggles more than any other sound on earth.
17. I have a goal to run a half marathon this summer and hopefully a full this next winter.
18. I have a tumor on my pituitary gland that I have to take medication for that rest of my life to keep from growing bigger.
19. I like having dark hair.
20. I have 10-15 gray hairs that I pull-out when I see them (Yes, I'm only 26!)
21. All I will ever want for Christmas is a clean house.
22. I CANT both work and keep a clean house. And since I work 30 hours a week, my house is not that clean (although I keep the main areas presentable in an attempt to fool my guests)
23. Good music makes me happy.
24. I can eat candy like a 5 year old.
25. I like Kids cereals better than "grown-up" cereals.

29. I think that snow falling on a calm day is just breathtaking.
30. I don't like to drink plain milk. Yuck.
31. I canNOT eat anything that has ever lived in water, save a few pieces of deepfried Halibut here and there, so long as it is fresh and therefore tastes just like chicken.
32. I tip generously.

56. I still cant decide if I'm crafty or not.
57. I go through a TON of paper towels because I hate to wash dirty rags (Sorry, Environment.)
58. I am not good about closing lids. Causes lots of spills...oops.
59. I always have good intentions but so-so follow through. Im working on that.
