25 Things

My friend Rachel "tagged" me on Facebook which means I had to post 25 facts about myself. For those of you on Facebook this post will be repetitive but I thought I'd go ahead and post it here too.

25 Things About Me:

1. When I was growing up I planned to be a career woman and never get married or have kids. When I was 18 I got married, had 3 kids and have been a stay at home mom ever since. Go figure.

2. After 15 years of marriage I still get excited every day when my husband gets home from work.

3. I love to ask people questions about themselves because I enjoy figuring out what makes them tick. I often wonder if people feel like I'm interrogating them!

4. I LOVE photography but still have a lot to learn.

5. I am addicted to books and usually read 2-3 of them a week (mostly in the middle of thnight).

6. In my opinion, Barnes and Noble=Heaven on Earth.

7. I talk to my animals like they are human.

8. I am shy. If I see someone in a store that I know, I am more likely to hide than say hello.

9. I had Lasik eye surgery a year and a half ago. Best money I ever spent.

10. I love to make lists and always have half a dozen of them going in my head.

11. We move a lot. I have lived in 11 different homes in the past 15 years. There's something disturbing about that.

12. I would much rather spend money on experiences (travel, classes, entertainment) than material things.

13. I love blogging because it combines writing and photography, two of my favorite things to do.

14. I can name every actor/actress in just about any movie.

15. I would rather listen to the radio than a CD. Listening to 15 songs by the same artist drives me crazy!

16. I once hiked 10 miles into the Grand Canyon. It took 3 days for the pain to subside and then I hired a donkey to carry me out.

17. I love how I feel when I put on an apron. Instant Domestic Diva.

18. I am terribly afraid of heights yet I jumped off an enormous cliff into the sea in Jamaica, just to say I did it.

19. I could eat pizza every single day and never get sick of it.

20. A couple years ago I took horseback riding lessons. I enjoyed it a lot but never really got over the fear of being thrown off.

21. I fear failure. I would almost rather not try than try and fail.

22. I love to cook and try new recipes. My husband and kids are great sports about trying my new concoctions.

23. I love to spend time with my family and can't stand the thought that someday the 5 of us won't always be together.

24. I daydream a lot about places I want to travel to and where I will stay when I get there (example: Italian villa, thatched roof cottage in Ireland, beach side cottage on an east coast island etc).

25. Sometimes I forget I'm "the mom" because my kids and I are such good friends.

When did you hike the Grand Canyon?! Fact #1 made me laugh. I think about that from time to time-when we were younger, I was the one who wanted to be married at 18 and have 3 kids! Funny how things turned out, huh? :-)

I would have a hard time thinking up 25 things about myself. But your 25 things are only a small part of the reason why I have loved you so much since the day you were born!
