OK, this is a Facebook thing and I am happy to comply. But, I have to say, it took me FOREVER to come up with 25 things. I hope it helps you to know me better. Enjoy.
1. I am a closet "Murder She Wrote" watcher--I just love the cheesy old murder/detective shows from the 80's (Matlock, Simon and Simon, etc..)my husband gives me so much grief for this, now you can too.
2. I am always nervous about others reading what I write--I've had this fear as long as I can remember and is probably why I have such terrible spelling and grammar errors.
3. I really want to run a marathon some day--I came close about 3 years ago, but just couldn't do it.
4. I've climbed 2 "Fourteeners" in Colorado and would like to do more--I LOVE the mountains and going hiking.
5. I snuck into a Def Leppard concert about 8 years ago--they were playing here in Colorado Springs and I never got tickets, so I snuck out in the middle of the night (without my husband knowing) and got to see them for about an hour. I fully intended to pay at the door, but no one was there--I still feel guilty about it, but it was SO AWESOME!!
6. My favorite candy in the whole world is Hot Tamales--I cannot watch a movie without them. Peanut M&M's are a close second, but I can polish off a whole big bag in a day, so I don't get them very often.
7. I hate the way my hair looks when I style it--I have been going to the same stylist, Carrie,for about 13 years now and LOVE the way it looks when she does it. I wish I could afford to hire her to style my hair every day.
8. I'm really bummed about turning 40 this year--I have never been bothered about turning another year older, but this year is different. Probably because the wrinkles are getting more pronounced.
9. I enjoy my Dad's jokes--I have given him grief about them as long as I can remember, but if he ever stopped, I would be so sad and disappointed.
10. I am a HUGE Beth Moore fan--I've participated in almost all of her Bible studies and read most of her books. I love her ministry to women and get so much out of the research she does on the Bible.
11. My husband is my most favorite person to hang out with--He won't believe this when he reads it, but it's true. I never laugh more than when I'm with him and his opinion on things is the one I value the most.
12. I like to debate issues with other--I love playing the devil's advocate and hearing others opinions, but it always annoys me when the other person gets uncomfortable and tries to change the subject before I'm finished with it. Come on--There's no crying in debate!!!
13. I like to spend time alone--I crave company if I am isolated for too long, but I really enjoy having a lot of time to myself.
14. One of my biggest fears is of being be-headed--I'm not sure why, but I just really don't want to go out that way.
15. I cheated on a test once in college--It was French class and I hadn't studied at all. The bad news is, I got caught, the good news is that my professor was very kind and didn't expel me from college. I felt just horrible!!
16. The shortest time I've worked at a place is two days--I was a kitchen designer for two whole days before I got a call about a job doing model homes. It was a no brainer because the kitchen design place built their own cabinetry and the whole place reeked of varnish-yuck!
17. I love being a stay-at-home mom--I don't feel any urgency at all to be a career mom (except when finances get tight). It is truly the best thing I've ever done and the most fun.
18. I sing in a band sometimes--it's my husband's band and I sing background vocals when he needs me to and love it.
19. I collect angels--my husband travels a lot to foreign countries and always brings me back a new one for my collection.
20. I am computer illiterate--it's sad, but true. It takes me forever to figure out what I'm doing and if it's not easy--I just give up.
21. I love Television--seriously, I could watch all day and night and not feel guilty. I have my favorite shows (Big Bang Theory, 24, etc.), but I can even watch the same shows and movies again and again and be entertained.
22. I like to sew--I've made several things over the years, but mostly for myself or for gifts. I recently made some throw pillows and sold them at a craft fair. It's the first time I've ever profited off of sewing.
23. I had my own interior design business for ten years--It was a lot of fun, but I'm not a very good paperwork person which is kind of important. I may go back to it some day.
24. I love surprises--Life seems so predictable sometimes. I like to be surprised--in a good way, that is. I remember praying for excitement in my life a while back. Let's just say God's definition of exciting and mine are two different things. I will never pray for that again.
25. Spiders terrify me--We don't have a lot of bugs in Colorado, but we do have spiders. They just creep me out for some reason.
