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.
