You’ll learn tidbits about me, through reading my posts.
Yet I thought it would be fun to make a list of 101 random things about me.
Here goes…
101 Things About Me
1. Sometimes we have cereal for supper. I’m completely OK with that.
2. My Twins were born by emergency c-section. Shortly put, one started pushing the other out causing a whole mess of chaos. The in-utero bully is still the bully of the other, to this day.
3. I am the youngest of 7 – an Oops a miracle
4. I have an intense fear of spiders – super intense!
5. Whenever at home, I wear PJ’s or Yoga Pants – I’m all about total comfort over anything.
6. I start many projects and never complete them. My to-do list will always be longer than this list
7. I wear glasses, sometimes contacts
8. I always sit cross legged in vehicles {when not driving, of course}.
9. You’d be lucky to catch me in a skirt or dress.
10. I still have my sticker book from when I was young

12. Both my parents have passed, yet I know they are with me.
13. I have watched The Biggest Loser while eating potato chips.

17. Joan Jett will always be tops, and I’m not just saying that ’cause she can kick my a$$
18. I am very patriotic and love my country. Yet the extreme winters are enough to make me flee.
19. I know every single word to ‘Never Ending Story’ from watching it so much as a kid {including the background music}. It irritates people who watch it with me, and that makes me laugh.
20. There was a time when I considered myself a ‘twi-hard’. I even met Chaske Spenser’s family. I’m over it now.

28. … UPS and Fed-Ex seem to always wake the kids. Also, Mr. UPS – stop kicking my door instead of knocking. I’m ready to yell at you. But, you bring me presents, so I haven’t yet. It’s like yelling at Santa…I just can’t
29. I took Nursing in college
30. A pet peeve of mine is seeing kids walking UP the slide at a playground. It’s like driving down the wrong side of the road. Where are their parents?
