25 Random Nothings

Ok so everyone else has done one of these so I figure heck why not?! So here it goes. I am baring all...

1. I meticulously arrange my Frosted Mini Wheats so that all of them are facing frosting side up or I can't eat them and I don't add any that aren't covered in a certain amount of frosting.

2. I can't jump on a trampoline anymore because I will pee my pants if I do.

3. Each of my kids have fallen off the bed when I was the attending parent present.

4. My oldest friends are Jenny Stemple with whom I used to sing about arrow heads and playing in creeks and Amanda Rawlins (my cousin) whom I used to bathe with as a child!

5. I live above the Arctic on an Indian reservation where we are one of few with running water. Oh and I live in an old school building.

6. Getting to Alaska cost me an arm and a leg literally.

7. I have a Hindu neighbor who has taught me how to make some awesome Indian (from India) meals.

8. I cry and laugh at every episode of Brothers and Sisters. It is my favorite!

9. I don't like the way Joe makes pancakes.

10. I wanted to be an Indian or ballerina when I was a wee one.

11. My mom once hosed me and Jenny down with the coldest water ever because we were playing in the mud and she didn't want us inside all dirty.

12. I have my own crafty shop at peasantsoup.etsy.com that I hope one day takes off enough that I can have spending money without having to ask Joe for it.

13. I beat everyone at Aquire! It's a stock market board game we were invited to play next door and Tim thought I needed an extra $1,000 to begin with. I insisted it be played fair but NO. I was at least $20,000 ahead at the end.

14. I cheat at almost every game I play with Joe... and he lets me.

15. I am spoiled by my husband.

16. I am obsessed with Nicholas Sparks' books and therefore want to live in North Carolina some day.

17. Mine and Joe's last night in TN was spent with Amanda and Jenny. We saw step brothers and laughed until we cried and ate Mongolian stir-fry. It was the best night!

18. I have to sleep with a big pillow at my back or I feel naked and alone.

19. I enjoy a good shot of rum like any pirate. Or... a flaming shot of everclear dropped into a 12oz glass of Dr. Pepper and beer... chugged.

20. I march in God's army.

21. This is my favorite number.

22. This is my second favorite number... seriously I didn't make this up.

23. My first kiss with Joe was in the movie The Incredibles! WOO WOO!

24. I got married in Gatlinburg after dating my BFF for 2 months. My dress cost more than the wedding... thanks MOM!

25. The best gift I ever received is a green lamp with a fuzzy boa like trim. It broke on the way to Alaska and I will be gluing it back together soon.

That was fun!
