randomness

I was tagged over a week ago to list 25 random things about myself. I finally completed my list and I must say that I feel pretty boring.

1. I am an only child and made a promise to myself that I would have more than one child. I wanted a big family!

2. I suffer from severe dry eye and cannot sit under a ceiling fan or any type of air vent without feeling the urge to rub my eyes out.

3. I worry constantly that something is going to happen to my kids, no matter who they are with.

4. I worry a lot about things in which I cannot control, which probably explains why I found my first grey hair at 21.

5. I don't really feel comfortable with the "I's"; it's been a draft for several days because I had difficulty coming up with 25.

6. I record Young and the Restless everyday; I have watched it since I was in middle school.

7. I actually like to camp, thanks to my husband. It is so relaxing and we eat better camping out then at home some nights.

8. I have always (and still do) dream of being a nurse.

9. I have a degree in communications and do talk a lot but I've never had an actual job in the field.

10. I collect cookbooks and love to cook but find myself making the same ol things.

11.I have an addiction to Diet Coke and know that I need to cut back.

12. I would love to be in Survivor and feel the urge to apply after every season but I would never leave my family for that long.

13. I enjoy reading and read a wide variety from biographies to murder mysteries to fluff to Christian living and fiction.

14. Girl Scout cookies are my guilty pleasure. I always buy A LOT! They're one thing I look forward to with each coming new year. I always buy a lot of thin mints and stash some. I even had to call my girl scout cookie "dealer" for more the other day. I'll probably place a third order before the month is over that will hold me over til maybe April!

15. My mom still has the same cat that I received as a gift in first grade for going the second semester without talking in class. The cat is 21 years old and you wouldn't know it by looking at her. Ryan is conveniently "allergic" to cats or she would live with us.

16. I have an enormous fear of horses. Every time I have been on one (3 times in total) something awful has happened, the last time my head was busted open. No one could pay me enough to get back on one.

17. Even though I have three sons, two of which are toddlers, the toys all over the house drive me crazy! I hate looking like we own a daycare.

18. I could live on Mexican food and pizza but then would definitely need to get another treadmill since we sold ours.

19. I have a veggie garden each summer with 9 veggies planted but all I really care about is the okra and squash. I still use the other produce but Ryan tends to them.

20. I don't like milk. For cereal I will pour a little milk in first and the put cereal on top. I drain the spoon against the side of the bowl to get any excess milk off.

21.When I hear people bite or clip their nails, it sends chills down my spine. Ryan has to go to the other room.

22. I've never broken a bone, only sprained both ankles many times, thanks to cheerleading. I had my first and only set of stitches at the age of 27 last year when I almost cut my finger off cutting potatoes for dinner while camping.

23. People who do not use manners (please, thank you, excuse me, even neglecting to write thank you notes) really irritate me.

24. Because I wear flip-flops practically year round and love being bare foot, my toe nails are always painted.

25. As a young girl I wanted a Barbie Dream House and Barbie ride-in jeep so bad. I still bring it up to my mom and give her a hard time. It's all in fun now of course.
