28 random things about yourself..

[M&M's Mommy]

Got this idea from another forum. I think we should have one here, too.

I'll go first:

1). I love God & the Catholic Church with all my heart and soul. The more I study about God and the Chuch's teachings, the more I love them.

2). I was born right-handed, but have learned to be dual-handed now.

3). When I was 12 yr old or so.. I shared a house with a dog, a cat, a duck, a chicken, 2 birds, a rabit, a tank full of fishes, and about 20 crikets all at once :)

4). I still feel like I'm a newcomer to the U.S., even though I've spend more years in the U.S. than in Vietnam!

5). I only have 1 brother who's 13 years my junior!

6). I am completely tone deaf. I can't tell between different tunes & can't sing to a right note - so I've never sung anywhere except in Church during Mass :)

7). I love going to Church. For the first 17 years that I lived in Vietnam, I went every day, never missed one. Since coming to the U.S. 19 years ago, it's not possible for me to go to daily Mass anymore, but I have not yet missed a single Sunday Mass.

8). I'm really good at maintaining lifelong friendships. I still keep in touch with my 1st grade teacher, and my 10 bestest friends in the whole wide world are those I knew since kindergarten. Tha'ts more than 30 years ago!

9). I sleep on my tummy.

10). I have no sense of direction AT ALL. No matter how familiar a place is and how many times I've been there, if I get in one way, and get out a different way, I'll get lost! Shortcuts don't work for me.

11). I spent 12 months shopping for my wedding dress, checked every websites and went to every bridal stores from around California only to find & purchase my dream dress 5 days before my wedding day! *whew*. It's been 7 years and I still haven't seen any dresses I like better than my own! ;)

12). I don't like coffee, teas, any kind of soft drinks, or juices.. so just water for me, please?.

13). We had 450 guests at our wedding. Half was immediate family members. The other half was our friends.

14). I LOVE shoes!!! No shopping trip is deemed complete until I look at shoes!!

15). I'm really really good at math (and anything that requires logic) but suck at anything artistic.

16). I am very adventurous when it comes to food, and would dare to try anything edible, but I can't be without rice for long.

17). I love the color purple. About 3/4 of my clothes have some shade of purple in it!

18). I don't own an ipod or any video games.

19). I'm very honest. If you ask for my opinion about something, you'd better prepared to hear the truth.

20). I love my family. They're God's bestest blessings in my life.

21). My greatest dream right now is to be a mommy.

22). I hate wearing tennis shoes & socks. I don't own neither one.

23). I'm bugs-phobia (I don't know the correct word!)

24). I love Fridays.

25). When I was 13-month-old, I had a freak accident that almost cut four fingers of my right hand off. Thanks God the doctors were able to stiched them back on, and they did such a good job that if I don't tell you, you won't be able to tell.

26). I'm a hopeless romantic and dreamer. My husband is practical & down-to-earth. It can be frustrating at times, but we balance each other out.

27). My husband is my first and only love.

28). I can't whistle! :o

[*LabLoverKEB*]

Great thread, I really enjoyed learning more about you! I actually first saw this on facebook, and thought it was a great idea!

I will have to think of some for me.... but right now I'm at school, and should be studying!:o LOL I'm addicted to Pet Talk!

[CountryWolf07]

1. I love web design/photoshop/illustrator

2. I'm in love with my boyfriend of two years, Mike, which I believe he is the one for me. I am all right brained and he is all left brained, and somehow we balance each other out. I don't know what I would do without him, he has been really the "guy" I have envisioned myself to be with. He challenges me every time. :)

3. I love country music.

4. I am graduating with a BA in Art from the Ohio State University on March 22, 2009.

5. My favorite artist of all time is Garth Brooks, and I dreamt of seeing him in concert since I was a young kid, and I was able to make it happen in November of 2007.

6. I am hearing impaired and I have a cochlear implant.

7. I am very easy going and laid back.

8. I worry too much, and I try to learn not to every day.

9. I am from Cleveland, Ohio, the birth of Rock & Roll.

10. I am a tomboy, I can dress up and look beautiful, but about 99% of the time, I prefer to be a tomboy and dress comfortably.

.........

Makin' dinner, so I will keep thinking for the next 18! ;)

27. I like to hear other languages being spoken even though I'm not very good at learning new ones.
28. I would like to take a course on both dialects of Elvish, so that I could become fluent. Either that or in Latin. I like the idea because they are both not spoken, one being made up by Tolkien.

3. I plan on having a ton of kids. For those of you that know/have seen my nephew, you know that I love him more than life itself. I want a LOT of kids. If I was financially stable and in a stable relationship, I would have kids now. I'm 20. I've had that mentality since I was 16.

4. I hope to pursue photography someday.

5. My family means a lot to me. Lots of kids nowadays don't like their families much, but I really do love my family; all of them. My grandparents are also pretty amazing... my family is the only thing keeping me from getting the heck out of Wisconsin.

6. I care too much about people. And the wrong people, too. I put my heart and soul into everything I do, and I care more about making other people happy than I do about making myself happy. There are a few people out there who I would do ANYTHING for, just to see them smile.

7. I'm addicted to doing surveys and posting them on myspace and facebook and such. I have TONS.

9. I have emetophobia.

10. I want to learn to speak and read Latin.

11. I follow no religion. I'm agnostic.

12. I am a virgin. Yes, I'm 20, and a virgin. My friends are all shocked when they find out. It's not that I'm begging to lose my virginity or I even CARE about losing it, I'm just waiting for the right person.

13. I have two tattoos. One is a bass clef and a treble clef in the shape of a heart on my left wrist. The other I got done last night. It's on my back and it says in Latin, "Dum spiro spero" which means "While I breathe, I hope". I plan on getting another one soon for Gavin.

[k9krazee]

1. I'm going to be a Mortician.

2. I can't wait to be out of college. It's hard to believe that I'm halfway done (and it's gone by so fast), yet the end still seems so far away.

3. I want to be done with college, but I don't think I'm ready for the 'real' world. I'm terrified of the future, and excited at the same time.

4. My family is very important to me. I couldn't wait to move out of their house, and now it seems the longer I live away from "home", the more I miss it.

5. What I really want is to be able to have my own place, my own family, my own dogs and my own life. I can not wait for that day.

6. I've recently become addicted to working out. My day just doesn't feel right unless I've hit the gym.

7. I hate being forced to do things. If it’s my choice I’ll gladly do it, if I’m told I have to I won’t…or I’ll complain the entire time.

8. I love to learn things relevant to my life. I don't really enjoy reading fiction and hate having to learn things for a class that I know I'll never ever ever use again. I wish the time could be spent learning something I'll need to know.

9. I didn't get a cell phone until I moved to college, and I never carry it anywhere. If people want to reach me, the call my boyfriend. (My parents actually put his number under my name, lol)

10. I really despise driving new places or in congested cities, especially alone. Usually I'll remember the cell phone, but since it's always neglected the battery often dies when I really need it.

11. I love taking pictures, especially of my dogs and scenery.

12. I listen to Cake on my Ipod every single day, all day long and it doesn't get old.

13. I'm not a night person, and I'm not a morning person. In fact, I'd sleep all day if I could.

14. I believe I'm bi-polar.

15. I tend to meet and make friends very easily, but can count the number of close, best friends I've had on one hand. It's a trust and self-confidence issue.

16. I hate typical college parties and don't understand that lifestyle. I'd much rather learn something during my college experience than kill brain cells.

17. I love watching Jon and Kate plus 8. It's one of the three shows I watch (Lost and Nip/Tuck). With the aid of the show (and "growing up", I guess) I have a strong desire to have children someday.

18. I LOVE Dance Dance Revolution. I'll play for hours at a time every day if I can.

19. I like to have a schedule and often feel lost without my planner.

20. I spend way too much time online. I blame PT. Before PT I didn't even know what a forum was. Now I'm an addict and was amazed there are forums for everything.

21. I fall asleep during movies.

22. I have a horrible, horrible memory.

23. In a group situation I'm more likely to observe and take everything in than jump into conversation.

24. I couldn't carry a tune to save my life.

25. I've never really been a girly girl. I love helping my dad on things in the garage (such as building derby cars) and I love anything that has to do with the outdoors (skiing, biking, camping, hiking, kayaking).

26. I'm very laid back and not too hard to please.

27. I'm not particular with what I wear.

28. I have a hard time managing my time wisely and get stressed when I have a lot of things that need to be done.

2.) I love lemon water. Random thing but yeah. I probably couldn't live without it . :rolleyes:

3.) I sleep with a Figaro stuffie I got about 13 years ago on my first trip to Disney World.

6.) I love, love, love, love, love art. Sketching, painting, digital, photography, modern, anything. I love it. I enjoy going to art museums.

8.) I LOVE cartoons like Back at the Barnyard, Spongebob, Fairly Odd parents, Batman, Looney tunes, whatever it is I'll normally watch it. I just cannot get into shows like "lost", "gossip girl" or whatever else 16 year olds watch. I hate that stuff. The only funny real TV show I like is Two and Half men or George Lopez.

9.) I love, love, love the LION KING 1 and 2. They are awesome movies! I love the music and everything.

10.) I hate when people are talking to me or I'm in a conversation with others about pets and someone is like "Oh when I was 12 I had like 3 hermit crabs but I forgot to feed them and they all died" or "haha, my hamster died last week". LIKE wtf? You think it's funny a living thing died because you're a dumba** who forgot to feed it. It annoys me when they laugh especially. Why did you even bother getting the pet if you didn't care about it? Then when they get all mad at me for pointing it out and they were like it's just a hamster bleh bleh bleh. It's still a living thing moron. It pisses me off till no end!!

11.) I work at a Six Flags amusement park and it's made me hate people.

12.) I volunteer at an animal shelter and it made me see how pure animals truly are. Those animals are the best in the world, they are so happy and loving even though they've been abandoned. It's also shown me not all people are heartless and rude.

13.) I want to go to Rutgers so bad.

14.) I should be studying for Spanish Midterms right now.

21.) I've never had a boyfriend but I sort of want one. I like two boys but I don't know if they like me. :rolleyes:

22.) My siblings and I get along surprisingly well. I'm a family and friend person but I'm shy around people I don't know.

23.) I still play neopets and I've been on the site for 7 years on various accounts. My oldest one I know of is 5 years old, I don't remember the
others.

24.) I have a really weird phobia of chewed gum, OH MY GOD, it's so disgusting. I HATE gum now with a burning passion, haven't had a piece in like 8 years or so.

25.) I know a ridiculous amount about dogs for my age. Dogs are the best thing in the world. :love: I read mostly books about them, and I know many breeds. My mom thinks I'm the walking Dog Book. :rolleyes:

26.) I'm a tomboy. I love Hot Topic and Pac Sun. I hate dresses, skirts and that type of stuff but I sometimes wear them, bleh. I like Vans and Converses and Skinny Jeans ;)

10. I rarely get sick, but when I do it's BAD!!

11. I was shy as a child...yeah, not so much anymore.

13. Toilet paper and paper towels have to be hanging a certain direction. I'll fix it if I can when I'm at someone else's house.

14. After I wash my hands I have to dry them completely, so I use several paper towels. Using cloth towels feels dirty to me. (I know, not good for the environment, sorry.)

[.sarah]

1. I've been a vegetarian for over four years now.

2. I love orange juice. I hardly drink anything else.

3. I am obsessed with college sports. My favorites are baseball and football.

4. I love names. When I hear a name I like, I will write it down and save it, for possible future use I guess. This includes names for both kids and pets.

5. I am quiet and observant by nature, but not shy.

6. I love college. As much as I hate assignments and tests, I love gaining knowledge and I love the traditions and student/fan pride that my university has. I will probably cry on graduation day, because I never want to leave.

7. I am double majoring, but I am still not sure what I want to do with my life. My problem is that I am interested in many different career paths. So many of them are so different, too, that I can't possibly combine them.

8. I am generally a very happy person... I try to find the good in every situation.

9. On that note: I am an optimist in every sense of the word. So much so that sometimes I block myself from seeing the bad in situations.

10. I have never tried any type of drug. I have no desire at all to see what any are like.

11. I am very into music and generally listen to certain songs based on what is going on in my life and what lyrics I can relate to at a certain time.

12. I would describe myself as being a generally independent person.

13. One of my biggest pet peeves is when people don't use the correct form of their/they're/there, your/you're, etc.

14. I hate hurting people's feelings, and avoid saying/doing anything to do so as best as possible.

15. I love to cook. I think that stems from being able to be creative and being able to make people happy through it.

16. I would love to move somewhere else once I graduate. I just want to see what other areas are about, since I've lived here my whole life and have barely traveled anywhere.

17. I hate Florida weather.

18. I am one of those who believes everything happens for a reason.

19. I have the utmost respect for the men and women who serve the United States of America.

20. I love math subjects, especially algebra. I consider it to be one of my strongest subjects.

21. I hate writing/english but that tends to be my best subject.

22. I strongly dislike reading books. I do not have the attention span for it.

23. I am constantly checking the weather. Right now it is 54* and raining.

24. I love cows. Always have.

25. I want to marry a good old fashioned southern boy. If anyone knows one who is single, please contact me. ha

26. I love to build and remodel things. I also love designing rooms.

27. I find a lot of satisfaction in doing things myself (which is I think why I enjoy DIY projects so much) and don't ask for help unless if I absolutely don't think I can do something on my own.

28. One thing that has been the same for me since I was little is that I have always wanted to live out in a remote city, with a small population, where everyone knows everyone and their secrets. I want to live on lots of acreage and have a small farm with chickens, cows, goats, horses and other animals, and I want my job to be taking care of it all. I want to raise a family there with a great husband. I want to have bonfires with the neighbors and sit out on our front porch talking all night. Probably cheesy, but that is the one of the only things I have ever really, truly wanted. If none of my other dreams for my future came true except for this one, I would consider myself to be very lucky.

[lute]

lute - you can always ask here, or even PM one of us for car advice. How are you "messing" them up? Poor cars!

Well, this past summer I changed my air filter...for the first time in the three years I owned my car.

I just found out a couple weeks ago that getting your oil changed and checking your oil were two different things...I have never had my oil changed.

My Lincoln had air shocks instead of regular shocks. I popped both front and rear air shocks 8 times.

I don't have this poor Lincoln anymore. About a month ago I got a crack in my engine block and it's done for. I do have a new car. Paid $400 for it! It's a 1990 Chevy Lumina. I'm gonna do my best to take better care of this car.

[RipplingWaves55]

Lol. Thanks Karen! :eek::eek::D

Okay. Do you know how to check your oil? Check your transmission fluid? Check your air filter? Basics like that? With an older car, you should regularly check your oil, and all fluids.

[lute]

Okay. Do you know how to check your oil? Check your transmission fluid? Check your air filter? Basics like that? With an older car, you should regularly check your oil, and all fluids.

I do now. My lincoln was a 93. It was older too. I am a lot better driver than I was, but sometimes things go wrong and I won't know what I did to cause it. I'm really going to do a better job with this car...I hope. I'll check in here when I need help next time.

Were you really? That's pretty interesting seeing as I'm in it now. I haven't been an officer though my 2 friends are, I'm only a sophmore so I'd be a Junior Officer though I don't know if other chapters do that, some only elect Seniors and Juniors as officers. I'll definitely try next year though, not Senior year, but at least next year because I missed the election this time around. :rolleyes: That's pretty cool that you were VP, though! I don't think I'd want to be that high up in the ranks.

5. I'm scared of receiving my first electric bill.

7. I love, love, LOVE bath "stuff" (shower gels, bubble bath, etc) but can't use 99% of it due to my finicky skin.
8. I liken my horse to a storybook picturesque mare. She has such a wonderful temperment and will do anything you ask (except sidepass, which we're working on). I "dress" her in pink. I have pink glittery hoofpolish. Secretly, I wish she could fart sparkles.
9. Only today did I find out that 2x4 didn't mean, 2 foot by 4 foot. :o
10. I'm quite book smart but can be a total airhead when it comes to "real" stuff (see above).

12. I don't want children and I'm not sure if I want to be married.
13. I HATE to answer the phone; it is (quite literally) a bit of a phobia. This stems from a certain call I took/brief employment as a 911 dispatcher.
14. As a result of #13, I don't talk to my friends nearly enough. I prefer to txt or chat on the computer but work tends to get in the way.
15. As I approach 30, my bedtime gets earlier and earlier.
16. I don't like the smell of roses. They remind me of funerals.
17. I HATE to cook.
18. I don't mind baking.

21. I'm allergic to most dairy but cheese doesn't bother me. Milk tastes sour and gives me migraines.
22. I used to love winter. Now, not so much.
23. I can't drive a manual even though I've repetedly tried. I did however sit (I wouldn't say drove - I don't think we ever had to shift I went so slow) on Xradeu's Dad's tractor, which was a manual.
24. I don't like bears, even teddy bears.
25. I don't really love my job but I have it too easy (decent pay, good hours, easy work, security) to go anywhere else.
26. I love tea. I prefer it over coffee, soda, or water. If cold, I want it unsweetened. If hot, it has to be sweetened.
27. There are certain words I hate, they just SOUND ugly. Boogy, for example.
28. I don't really like the way meat tastes and definitely won't eat it in any form of leftovers (chicken being the exception). I prefer veggies.

Were you really? That's pretty interesting seeing as I'm in it now. I haven't been an officer though my 2 friends are, I'm only a sophmore so I'd be a Junior Officer though I don't know if other chapters do that, some only elect Seniors and Juniors as officers. I'll definitely try next year though, not Senior year, but at least next year because I missed the election this time around. :rolleyes: That's pretty cool that you were VP, though! I don't think I'd want to be that high up in the ranks.

yupper we didn't do JR officers. we were such a small chapter at that time that we had to include Jrs and Srs as officers. I was reporter my Jr Year and Vice Pres my Sr year. I LOVED FFA.

[jennielynn1970]

4. My husband has a very pretty shade of red hair that I hope our child inherits.

8. I love love love eating sweets. I wish I didn't.

10. I don't really like cooking but luckily my husband does. He is making stir fry right now. :)

11. I do like baking though but I don't very often because I always eat way too much of it.

25. I seem to get jury summons every year or two.

26. I love going out to eat. I spend way too much on it. I especially like Indian and Italian food.

28. I can't wait until spring is officially here! It is my favorite season.

[Suki Wingy]

I liken my horse to a storybook picturesque mare. She has such a wonderful temperment and will do anything you ask (except sidepass, which we're working on). I "dress" her in pink. I have pink glittery hoofpolish. Secretly, I wish she could fart sparkles.

Zippy, that has got to be the best quote I've read in a very long time!

[Alysser]

Staci and Alyssa, I had never heard of FFA, but I was in 4-H.

FFA is sort of similar. Apparently they changed the name Future farmers of America to National FFA organization because agriculture has expanded much more now then it was when it was created.

[Miss Z]

Cool thread!

1. I've lived in the same house for all of my 17 years of life.

2. As a baby, I screamed and cried and wailed. A lot. :p My brother, on the other hand, was a very quiet baby. What's weird is we seem to have reversed roles; I am now far more placid than him and he has one fiery temper!

3. I've wanted to become a veterinary surgeon ever since I was about 3 years old. Before that, I was intent on becoming a ballerina.

4. Good job though that I decided against the latter (above), because I think I've finally reached my peak in height at 6 foot exactly. :eek: I would have been one lanky ballerina, haha.

5. I have my own DNA in a vial. Seriously. I extracted it myself. :p Although now it's quite hard to see as its wound back up into coils again, but it's there. Why do I have it in a vial? Haha, I seriously don't know. But it's cool to have. :D

6. I am currently reading Darwin's Origin of Species.

7. I am the only girl in my year at school (well, in my school actually, for the moment anyway) to study further mathematics at A level.

8. I can't wink with my left eye. I had to train myself to wink the right, but there's no hope with the left. It's a peculiar trait I've inherited from my dad's side of the family. My mum and brother wink just fine.

9. I am a vain money guzzler! I calculated that last year I spent about £5500 on clothes, accesories, shoes, perfumes, make-up, my hair and jewellry. It's awful, I know, and my 2009 resolution is to cut down on that considerably.

10. I hate camping with a passion. I need my little luxuries otherwise I get incredibly groggy and snappy.

11. I have keratoconus in both eyes, but mainly in my left. It's manageable for me at the moment and I barely notice it, but it will gradually worsen throughout my life and I could get to the stage of needing a corneal transplant.

12. I am generally a pleasant person to people although I'm not much of a socialiser. I prefer to have a few, select friends whom I can truly trust than lots of people I can't.

13. The only body part I have ever broken is the little finger on my right hand, and it's still a bit crooked.

14. < My lucky number! :p

15. I love debating. It's something I've only really gotten into over the past few months. Once I get into argue-mode there's no going back! :D

16. I've had the same mobile phone for about 5 years. It's not that it's amazing or that I can't afford a new one, it's just I'm not particularly a gadget person and would rather spend the money on something else.

17. I cannot STAND people who eat noisily. It just irks me to the core.

18. I know I'm only young and things change as you age, but I can't see myself ever having kids. It's just not me.

19. I do not have a photographic memory whatsoever, which sometimes surprises people. I can only truly get things into my brain by writing them down over and over again. It's very tiresome, but for some reason I just can't really learn information any other way!

20. My middle name, Vivienne, is that of my aunt, who passed away from leukaemia before I was born. All the other girls born on my dad's side of the family also have Vivienne as their middle name.

21. I take my coffee black with one sugar.

22. I'm generally terrible at winter sports! I'm like Bambi when on ice and I can only go so far as turning parrallel in big, wide loops when skiing.

23. Riding is my passion, particularly dressage, and I've been riding for 13 years.

24. I don't cry; very, very rarely at least. Yeah, I get sad, but I'd be more likely to be incredibly quiet for a while rather than burst into tears.

25. I hate the idea of failure. I'm really competitive and once I get into something, I have to win! :p

26. The bodypart I hate most on myself is my teeth. Otherwise I am generally happy with how I look.

27. I could eat olives for the rest of my life, haha. I absolutely looooooove them!

28. I study Latin, and it rocks. :D Lately I've found it particularly helpful in my scientific subjects. If you know Latin, there'll rarely be a word that you encounter that you can't figure out the meaning by it's Latin roots.

[Whisk_Luva]

Ellie, you are awesome and I wish we could hang out IRL. I am an obsessive fan of M*A*S*H and I bought the first season on dvd today!


Lol same, let me know if you ever come to England ;)

Now you can watch M*A*S*H whenever you want lol, and not just when the tv channels allow you too.... yay for DVDs. (We have the DVDs- I dont usually watch it on tv because the laughter track kind of annoys me). I even made a M*A*S*H poster for my room, and I have a M*A*S*H t-shirt :D

I picked it up at random because Tempest is one of my favorite songs.

I hadn't tried the cookie-dough Pop-tarts, now I'm glad I didn't bother! :)

[Puckstop31]

Gee Puckstop, I must say that I'm impressed. Seriously!!! Some things you have posted in your list lead me to believe you might be human and have feelings afterall. I knew there had to be some good hidden in there somewhere. Congratulations kid. :D

LOL Thanks. I think. :)

Talking Politics rarely makes friends. LOL I mean, while politics is the 2nd oldest profession, it bears a striking resemblance to the first, ya know? LOL

Also remember that I like to "discuss" that stuff here because most of the people here do NOT agree with me and I like that. I seek out differing opinions, not only to possibly change some minds, but to possibly have mine changed too. Preaching to the choir is no fun and nobody learns anything new, eh?

:D

[smokey the elder]

Rainbow Daleks? LOL!

And I'd really love to take a peek at that "book of wisdom" that you are writing for your daughter. Bet that's gonna be interesting!! LOL :eek:

A sneek peek...

#1 - "Show me your friends and I will show you your future."

Some people here disagree with this. But I believe, especially for young people, that who we associate with not only says a lot about who we are, but effects who we will be. Even if you are squeaky clean, when you associate with people who are not... It gets you dirty too.


#12 - "You can tell a great deal about a person from how they treat people who serve them."

How do you treat the people who serve you at McDonalds? A grocery store?


Etc.... It is a work in progress and will take me years to finish. Mainly because as I age, I am certain I will become more wise and will want to change some of the things for it. Values should never change, opinions can.

Thumbs up! I agree with those. :D
If they're all this wise, then she'll have a book to treasure her whole life thru. Hopefully she'll thank her Dad for the time and love that he put in to it, even if she doesn't agree with everything he says! :p (Do they ever?) :rolleyes:

Hee hee - I bet we could teach you! :)

Hmmm, with all your emphasis on music, are you like me, in that there is normally some song running through your head? I was a little surprised to learn most people's brains don't provide an internal "sound track" to their life!

[Daisy and Delilah]

I love this thread!!! I felt great after the second 28. It seemed like I really had to dig into my inner self to get that second group. After reading everybody elses, I see so many things that I could also have written down. So much fun!!!

Isn't it fabulous to learn things about everybody?:)

[Daisy and Delilah]

Yes I could. Hmmmm...........:)

[pomtzu]

Yes I could. Hmmmm...........:)

I'll look for it it the morning.........:D

[zippy-kat]

1. K'Cee is on my lap. I am typing in an extremely uncomfortable position to avoid disturbing her. Often, I will put off getting up/doing something so I don't disturb her. I refer to this as "purring the cat." (IE "I can't do that right now, K'Cee needs purred.")

2. I hide new bags of catfood from K'Cee. If she spies a new bag, she will quit eating from the old bag. I have tried to buffalo her and it doesn't work; I give in within 1/2 day. (The "old" secretly gets mixed into the new... when she's not looking, of course.)

3. I have fractured my left foot twice, my right wrist once. I think I've fractured my left elbow and wrist but I never told my mom; I was doing something I wasn't supposed to. I have sprained my right wrist and my left ankle. I had (have?) a condition where the muscles in my legs are stronger than the bones and it causes a strain on the bones. None of the fractures or sprains are due to that condition, though.

4. I am a rule follower but my one ticket has been for "disobeying a police officer." (It was night, he was in a dark uniform. I didn't see him.)

5. I'm not scared of the dark. I'm scared of things IN the dark. Namely, skunks.

6. I once let a gopher in the house on accident.

7. I once gave somebody the "up your's!" sign on accident. (You know the one where you have one arm bent in front of you then make/raise a fist with your other?) I was walking with a friend; we were discussing having blood drawn. I was motioning with my hands when a stranger pulled his truck around the corner and we locked eyes.

8. I wanted to name my first dog Koolaide.

9. I hate lipstick, mushrooms, pickles from restuarants, and the word utilize.

10. It drives me NUTS when people use the word "irregardless." Just say "regardless" or "irrespective." (Actually, I don't think "irregardless" is even a word, is it?)

11. I have one tattoo. It's on my toe.

12. I was born in a Catholic hospital, raised Methodist, but now go to a Baptist church.

13. I have hitchhiked, once. My cousin and I were determined to go out of town despite the bad weather and despite our parents' "You're silly for traveling in this weather. Your grown, we can't stop you from going, but don't call us if you wreck!" About 30min from our destination, I hit a patch of black ice. The car spun, landed in a ditch, and flattened a tire. We hitchhiked to a gas station (maybe 15min away) and waited for help. I ended up dating the guy that changed my tire/drug my car out of the ditch. My cousin and I never did call/tell our parents; they found out about it 2yrs later.

14. I have a HUGE sweet tooth!

15. I've rode an Olympic jumper (see possible wrist/elbow fracture in #3) and a calvary horse. (The jumper was SEVERELY barn sour -- someone left the arena gate open. *buck, buck* I bit the dirt and horsey went to his stall.)

16. I'm having a hard time with this set. I'm not that interesting!

Ok, I'm "pausing" for now. If I can think of some more stuff, I'll post it. :)

12. I’m not fond of my father.
13. I can’t imagine life without my mother.
14. My niece is 18 years old today!!!
15. I have been with my boyfriend for almost 6 years.
16. Hey Ashley! I wanted to get married on July 7th, 2007. But it didn’t happen. :p
17. Even though I have “fake” nails I still bite them if one breaks off.
18. My parents owned a dry cleaners all my life, up until last July.
19. My eyes change color depending on what I’m wearing.

14. I've carried the same purse for almost 10 years. Is this bizarre or what?
15. New York City is probably my favorite place to visit.
16. I never go to the Orlando theme parks. Living here most of my life, I've been to Epcot once, Disneyworld once, and, Universal 3 times. I think these places are great but not for me. I also think they're way too expensive.
17. I love wearing jewelry.

[slick]

OK...more....
I love all living things including spiders, snakes and other creepy crawlies. I'm not afraid to pick up spiders and carry them outside.
I hate liver and onions.
I can't watch nature shows. Even though it's the "nature of the beast" I can't stand watching animals getting killed for food.
I absolutely hate guns and hunting.
I've never broken any bones
I love Christmas and what it stands for. I'm the first person in my building to put up lights and the last to take them down.
I hate clutter. I'm very tidy, but certainly not a neat freak.
Although I love surprises, I'm also a big planner. For any event, I simply must have a written plan and follow through.
I play the piano by ear. I did take piano lessons when I was a child but had a hard time reading the music. I still can't read musical notes.

Someday I would love to own a small dog....maybe when I retire.

I am artistically challenged. I don't have a feel for decorating and as for drawing or making cards or anything along that line, forget it.
I'm a lover not a fighter. I hate conflict of any kind and avoid it like the plague, even if it means putting my own thoughts/feelings on hold.

TV shows: anything Reality, Young & Restless, Coronation Street, ER, Grey's Anatomy, anything else medical....

I drive a 2001 Jimmy (SUV) and love it. I don't feel safe in smaller cars.
I believe that all living creatures have souls.
When I was young I wanted to be an Airline Stewardess (that's what they were called in the 70s). In my teens, I wanted to be a Vet but somehow I ended up in the IT world.
When I was a child, I asked my Dad if we could move to a ranch with horses, cows, chickens and other animals. I never got my wish. :(
I have a collection of stuffed animals.
I've only had one serious relationship. It lasted 13 years and ended in 1987 when I caught him sleeping with my x-friend.
In the early 80s, I did volunteer work at my local zoo and helped to force feed a snake that was ill. The snake lived. :)
In 2001 I went on a cattle drive. Six days on horseback.....:eek: Can you say Ouch???

[shais_mom]

for me! :)

1. I talk to my parents everyday. Usually both of them more than once. On days when they are at their cottage and the cell service doesn't go thru it just doesn't feel right.

2. I was supposed to be born in the middle of December but I came 2 months early. I was born Oct 20th. I weighed 4 pounds. One of my aunts (married to my mom's brother when I was about 6-7) told my mom in front of me when I was about 8-10 that there was no way I was a premie b/c I was too fat now. Thank God neither of her children have weight issues.

3. I love most animals but have a phobia of little critters. When my friends kids want me to hold their guinea pig or hamster it almost sends me into a full blown panic attack. I can't stand the little feet on me. Didn't help when in 2007 after I had foot surgery I woke up in my parents house with a mouse crawling down my arm.

4. I have been a member of a PET TALK since 2000. I have met several members and consider them dear friends. I have also traveled to Los Angeles CA twice due to that forum. And I was in a wedding for an online friend and I met her the day she picked me up from the train 2 days before the wedding.

5. I have lost at least 3-4 dear friends simply b/c their boyfriend turned husband didn't like me. B/c I was the single friend and I wouldn't put up with their sh!t like they did.

6. I have a tendency to be extremely blunt but I hate confrontation.

7. I'm a small town girl at heart, born and raised country girl, but I'd love to live in the Big City like NYC for 6 months just to be able to order sushi at 3am if I wanted to. Then send me back to the small town. I hate driving in big cities.

8. I've only had one boyfriend in my life, when I was a freshman in HS. He was a bad boy of all bad boys. A couple years ago I opened up the local paper and saw his picture in it and was like "now what" then I realized it was the obituries. He had had a heart condition and all the hard living caught up with him.

9. When I was about the age of 8-9 I ate a Texas Tenderloin and got the flu and threw up for days and have not been able to eat one since then.

10. When I was in Jr. Hi I babysat my cousin's and fixed them Totino's Pizza Rolls and that night I got the flu and threw THEM up and can't even stand the smell of them since then.

11. As mentioned in Round 1, I can drive a Stick shift- I've driven a Tractor and a semi. It was just backing it down the driveway but I did it!

12. Before FFA I was in 4-H, and showed sheep at the county fair from the ages 9-18. My Sr. Yr I was Hardin County (Ohio) Lamb and Wool Queen.

13. My dad has one of their friends convinced that I would give him an enema anytime I was around him, so one day I brought home an enema tip from work, put it in an envelope and anonymously sent it to him with the instructions, instert into rectum and blow it up. Any questions call 1-800-ENEMA. :eek:

14. I have one older sister. My sister and I are exactly 5 years, 11 months and 1 day apart.

15. My mom has one sister and 2 brothers. All the kids EXCEPT my mom had their boys first and there is about 2-4 years b/n the boy and the girl. My mom is the odd ball out having 2 girls 6 Years apart!

16. I will eat almost any fruit except Muskmelon (cantaloup) or honeydew. I had a great aunt that had breast cancer and can remember my other great aunt saying when she threw up with the chemo it smelled like Muskmelon. I never smelled it but I never ate it before and I refused to eat it since then.

17. My dad is an only child. My grandma had 3 siblings only 6 & 8 (set of twins) years older than my dad. So growing up HIS aunts were MY aunts b/c I spent so much time with my grandma and with them.

18. I was never much of a cat person until I got a dog, my greyhound. She unlocked the passion in me that had been hidden. Loving animals is in my blood. My dad's mom used to bottle feed all kinds of baby pigs and lambs.

19. When I moved out and went to get a dog at the local shelter, I went in mind I was going to get a small scruffy looking dog similiar to Benji. lol I came home with a greyhound. :confused: but she was my :love:

20. I love makeup and good smelling girlie things. I have the ultimate girlie bathroom.

21. I have a slight phobia of petting other people's cats unless I know where they came from. If they are a stray or a barn cat, I might pet them but I can't stand the dirty fur. And I'm afraid that the cat will be sick and I will bring it home to my cats.

22. I can't throw or hit a ball to hit the broad side of the barn with the wind behind me, but 2 years ago I took Keegan to the park to throw the tennis ball, I got out the tennis ball launcher and threw the ball and it hit the side mirror on my car and broke it. I just stood there like an idiot with my mouth hanging open b/c I couldn't believe I actually HIT the mirror. Talk about a Needle in the haystack!

23. I had orthoscopic knee surgeries when I was 15 years old. One month they went in a scoped both knees and removed cartilage marbles and scraped out more arthritis than the average 65 year old. The next month they went in and did the other one. The Orthopedic surgeon had never seen that much arthritis in someone so young.

24. I have a sock phobia. I can not stand wet socks. Nor can I stand having anything in my shoe. Sock fuzzies are the bane of my existence. One of my friends says that I have Princess and the Pea feet.

25. When I was about 2 years old we were riding in the semi with my dad, my mom in the front and my sister and I in the bunk. My dad was driving up I-75 and felt a slight pressure change in the truck. He glanced in the side mirror and saw that the door to the bunk was open. He told my mom to hold the wheel and she started to ask why but he launched himself into the bunk grabbed me by the back of the shirt and yanked me back in the truck. I was sitting there with my feet hanging over watching the road go by. My mom started to get hysterical and my sister got in trouble for not watching me! As soon as he got home, he welded the bunk doors shut.

26. I was a sophomore in HS, I went White Water Rafting with the FFA. At a certain part of the river there was a rock we were supposed to jump off of, I refused to do it b/c I wear contacts, and another kid didn't do it either. They told us anyone that does NOT jump off the rock, falls in. We still didn't jump off. I fell out in the middle of a class 5 rapid and really thought I was going to die. Lost my shoe! and the other kid fell out as well. I refuse to WWR after that!

27. I love doing dog/pet related activities. They are a joy to me especially if I get to go with my dog loving friends and take my dog with me.

28. Adding more to my original 28 things has been on my mind since I did it the first time but since starting this list, my mind went blank and it was a lot harder than I thought! :) :D

[anna_66]

I've been married for 23 years.

I like to scrapbook but never seem to have the time to do it.

I have one brother who is 8 years younger than me.

I had twin sisters, but they both died at a very young age.

I no longer have a thyroid and take medication to maintain it.

My parents have been married to each other for 45 years.

I have 4 dogs.

I don't mind to cook, but I despise doing dishes.

I feel more connected to animals than people.

I'm a server at Red Lobster and have been for over 13 years. I love my job, but hate my boss (strong word, but it's true).

I'm into reality shows of any kind, but I think Survivor is my all time favorite (it starts this coming Thursday!)

I watch VH1's Rock of Love Bus:o

I wanted to be an airline stewardess or a vet when I was a kid.

I have a room full of exercise equipment but rarely use it.

I'm still amazed that I have friends that I met online. I never in my wildest dreams thought that would happen...lol.

I've been to 4 NASCAR races (Bristol, Charlotte, Michigan & Arizona)

I'm 43 and can't believe how old I am already:eek:

We have no children because I'm not able to.

I started going through menopause in my early 20's.

I'm thrilled that we have new windows for our house.

I hate that the snow melted so fast. Now we have swimming puddles in our yard.

I could eat ice cream for breakfast, lunch and dinner!

I have hazel eyes.

1. I love Warrior cats. It's the best book series to ever come out. :love:

2. I find conformation dog shows boring, but I watch them anyway just for the dogs.

3. I love gnomes!

4. I work in a new department at Six Flags this year, ENTERTAINMENT! Woohoo! :D

5. I used to hate pasta until I tasted REAL pasta in Italy.

6. I love to travel. :love: I plan to backpack through Europe with someone when I'm older.

7. I used to play Pro-golf and had Golfing lessons all the time but I stopped playing, I really wish I hadn't.

8. The only book I've ever actually hated with a burning passion is the one I'm reading now! The Adventures of Huckleberry Finn, I'm SO tempted to light it on fire, UGH.

9. I used to really enjoy English class, until the dumb student teacher who hates teenagers started teaching EVERY class. :rolleyes:

10. My mom said the first time I laughed was when I saw our old dog Shana.

11. I love Haunted New Jersey, Weird NJ, etc, but I can NEVER Ever go to one of those places they scare the crap outta me, but its fascinating to read about.

12. I used to be scared of ever single ride, even little baby ones like Test Track in Disney World, and now I CANNOT get enough of Roller Coasters, they are by far the best invention ever!! :D

13. I like learning, reading about Ancient Egyptians. I love their Art, culture, beliefs. Like Anubis, the god of the dead, I just love all that stuff.

23. I like Comedy Movies above all genres.

24. I LOVE making graphics like sigs and avatars but I haven't had a chance to make on in awhile.

25. I will never understand humanity. How can you fight over religion, I thought it was supposed to be good? How can one man kill a whole race of people? How can you live with yourself after killing an innocent living thing?

26. I say that yet I kill bugs. :o

27. I don't have a phobia of anything except spiders and escalators.

28. I like wearing things that support a good cause.

I have no phobias

I rarely shave my legs. :o The hair is so fine and blonde that it doesn't show
I have very weak eyes. I have to put on my glasses to go to the bathroom in the night.:o

I learned how to drive a boat when I was about 10.

[Edwina's Secretary]

I just finished the book "kite runner" I was so into in I put it in the middle of a technical manual at work and acted like I was busy, I finished it in two days.



I took "Kite Runner" on a business trip with me and read it twice before I got home. Check out his second book - "A Thousand Spendid Suns"

[*LabLoverKEB*]

I think you will be an excellent vet tech! :)

Yeah, seems daunting at first, doesn't it!

Thanks Karen!!!

[beeniesmom]

Here’s round 2 …

1. I love Nutella on warm croissants.

2. My first dog was a Pekinese named Monday.

3. Add me to the list of people who LOVE the cold weather yet live in Florida.

4. I am the only one in a very large family that doesn’t smoke cigarettes.

5. I like to walk barefoot, even when it’s cold.

6. My first summer job was being a gate guard for a gated community. A little boring but relaxing. I didn’t have to do much. I’d bring my RB Dee Dee in the little gate box and read books all day while saying hello to people.

7. The first book I read by myself when I was 4 or 5 was Dr. Seuss’s: One fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish.

8. I dislike blueberries.

9. I got the mumps and chicken pox as a child within 10 days of each other. Longest sick leave from school ever!

10. As a child I was awesome on the balance beam. My teachers wanted me to try out for the Olympic team.

11. I like reading books by Dean Koontz.

12. One of my favorite bands is Nickelback.

13. I think Wentworth Miller is HOT.

14. My favorite fragrances are J’Adore, Eau D’Issey and Mariella Burani.

15. I used to collect key chains and had thousands of them but I got tired of them and eventually gave them away here and there to whoever wanted them.

16. I love anything Boston Terrier and am currently looking for Boston Terrier baby bedding or nursery décor but cannot find any.

17. I hate milk… even chocolate milk. The smell makes me gag.

18. My favorite kind of jewelry (and I don’t have much) are gold earrings.

19. I prefer the company of my dogs to most people.

20. I thought I’d never like owning a male dog…. until Frankie came along.

21. I love black licorice… the bitter kind. The more bitter, the better!

22. I prefer sitting by a pool then going to the beach.

23. My dog Beenie thinks she’s a cat sometimes. She purrs when you pet her. I really have to catch it on video one of these days.

24. I’ve always wanted to open an animal rescue.

25. I’m not very good at math.

26. I prefer vegetables to fruit.

27. Add me to the list of people who hate shopping… for shoes!

28. I love PT! Whoa, it was harder than I thought to come up with another 28.

[Daisy and Delilah]

LOL LOL LOL Thanks David :)

[boomersooner]

Here goes....I did this for Facebook, too, and it took longer than I thought it would!

1. I’m the youngest of three girls. All of our names begin with the letter S. For the longest time, I thought my name was Susansandyshannon……..

2. I don’t wear jewelry because I have a terrible nickel allergy. Even supposedly gold earrings break my ears out, and it hurts a lot!!!

3. I don’t like to wear dresses because I’m not really girly girly. Panty hose were invented by the devil himself.

4. Bridges and high overpasses terrify me….especially high bridges over water. Even though tunnels don’t bother me, I don’t think I could go through an underwater tunnel either.

5. I teach at the same elementary school I attended. When I went to Caldwell, it was first through sixth grade…no kindergarten.

6. Even though I didn’t go there, I love all OU sports, especially football and basketball….men and women’s.

7. I have a bachelor’s degree in Library Science and a master’s in Elementary Education. The thought of going to school now really gives me the heebie jeebies………glad I’m done.

8. I love, love, love dogs, and I have two great ones…Cassie, my 14 ½ year old Dalmatian and Boomer, my year old English Springer Spaniel. I guess I must have a thing for black and white dogs. HA

9. Snakes absolutely, positively scare the beejeebers out of me!! My nephew has one, and I don’t know how my sister sleeps in the same house.

10. I have been in a football stadium when a bomb when off right outside. Some guy tried to take a backpack with a bomb in it into Memorial Stadium at OU. We heard the explosion, and everyone around us was speculating about what it could be, but I think everyone was thinking bomb…..especially those who live in the Oklahoma City area, but no one wanted to actually say those words. The guy couldn’t get in with the backpack so he went and sat on a bench outside the stadium to figure out what to do next, I guess, and the bomb went off……..poor bus driver sitting in a bus saw it all.

11. While in an airplane, we almost had a midair collision when the traffic controller sent a small plane in our path….pilot had to like brake in midair! I looked at Mike, and when I saw the concern on his face, I knew something bad had happened. The pilot came on and explained what had happened. Pretty freaky!!

12.I once scratched my cornea while wearing a construction paper bird beak. The teachers were acting out the Twelve Days of Christmas, and my group were the six geese a laying. I was acting silly, “pecking” at a coworker who was afraid of birds. I guess the beak slipped up and got me in the eye. It was one of the worse pains I’ve ever experienced. I went to an afterhours clinic, and the doctor acted like he had heard that same story a dozen times that day. I had to wear a patch for 24 hours, and my lovely husband would only talk pirate to me! HA

13. I’m related to Davy Crockett and Abe Lincoln. Our family all came from the Tennessee/Kentucky area. We always knew we were kin to Uncle Davy, but my sister delved deeper into our family tree, and found that we were also related to Abe.

14. I have a “fear”, for lack of a better word, of down escalators. My mom and I were in a Boston mall once, and the down escalator was going so fast and was at such a steep slope, neither one of us could get on. I haven’t liked them since. I will almost always find an elevator. Up escalators don’t bother me.

15. I’ve never had any broken bones that I know of….I think I may have broken the toe next to the little one when I tripped over a big rock. I cut my foot pretty badly when I was 8…..that was about it as far as injuries go.

16. I’ve traveled to 9 countries and 37 states. I went to Europe before I was married, and my parents and I used to go on these long road trips. I’ve also gone to quite a few states with Mike and the kids, following OU football.

17. I’ve never smoked a cigarette, even as a kid. My mom used to smoke so I had access to them…..just never, ever appealed to me.

18. Old classic television shows are my favorites…The Andy Griffith Show, The Beverly Hillbillies, The Dick Van Dyke Show……the best TV. If they ever take TV Land off, I’ll be lost! HA

19. At my parents’ 60th wedding anniversary celebration, my sister made me laugh so hard, I….I…..yes, I wet my pants!!! Luckily, it was at my house, and I was able to slip down the hall to change before everyone knew….There I’ve said it!!!

20. I am a Christian but I know I’m not as good of one as God would want. I pray every day to be a better person than the day before.

21. I don’t know how to drive a car with a stick. I’ve lived 47 years without knowing, so I really don’t see the point in learning now.

22. I am NOT adventuresome when it comes to trying new things such as food……If it isn’t something I’m familiar with, I won’t eat it….just like a little kid, I guess, but again, I’m 47 years old, and I don’t have to eat anything I don’t want to!!

23. I was a Cub Scout leader for 4 years for my two nephews’ den. It was fun, but I didn’t want to do it again. I stayed up all night at a lock in with what seemed like hundreds of 7,8, and 9 year old boys....never again!

24. I’m a librarian, but I really don’t read that much. I’m busy with the kids and the husband, the job, the house, the dogs, etc.so I really don’t do much reading. My dad and my older sister read two or three books a week probably.

25. I’ve lived in the same city all of my life. I never had to experience changing schools or making new friends.

26. I met Mike on a blind date. He had hired the daughter of one of my coworkers, and they hooked us up. We were engaged after 3 weeks. When you are in your 30’s, I guess you just know if you have found the right person.

27. I used to always tease my mom about the many different hairstyles and hair colors….well, I realized I can’t talk much! HA

28. I don’t like confrontation at all! I can tell people off really well while I’m in the car or the shower, but I don’t like actual confrontation. I guess that is why I don’t talk about controversial topics unless I know the person I’m speaking with is of the same opinion as me.

[caseysmom]

I took "Kite Runner" on a business trip with me and read it twice before I got home. Check out his second book - "A Thousand Spendid Suns"

I plan on getting it this week, is it as good as Kite runner?

[Edwina's Secretary]

I plan on getting it this week, is it as good as Kite runner?

The ending is a little contrived but up until then it is gripping and hard to put down. What I particularly enjoyed is it is about the relationship between two women this time.

But be prepared to get very angry along the way!

I've never tried this, but it sounds delicious. Ever tried Nutella crepes? Yum! :love:


16. I love anything Boston Terrier and am currently looking for Boston Terrier baby bedding or nursery décor but cannot find any.
I also looked for some corgi decor- I really wanted a corgi wallpaper border, but I was also unsuccessful. Cafepress does have some cute onsies though!


26. I am having my first unhappy moment with Obama for screwing up HOUSE tonight.
He he, me too. But then when the conference ended (around 7 pm MT) they didn't show House anyway- it was two episodes of "24," which I don't watch. I was bummed! Sounds like all in all you had a very hard day. :( I hope today is better for you!

[Daisy and Delilah]

Carmen, here's a link to a site that has Boston fabric. I'm not sure how it works. They have the fabric for sale but do they make things for you too?

[pomtzu]

Hey Terry -------- where's round 4???? :D

[Daisy and Delilah]

Hey Terry -------- where's round 4???? :D

I'm getting tired just thinking about it.:D :D :D

[luckies4me]

A good way to pass the time while my son is napping...

1. My name is Cassandra, but when I was younger they called me Cassie. My brother thought it was halarious to call me Lassie, so he would whistle at me all the time. About 4 years ago, my mother sent me a beanie baby in the mail. Yep! It was a collie dog, and it's name was Cassie! Seriously?!!! LOL!:D Out of all the names they could have picked, haha. They now call me Cass.

2. I work at Banfield Pet Hospital in Eugene, Oregon. I have been there 4 years in May. I don't think I'll ever leave...

3. I've decided to name all my future pets Mobster names if they are male.

4. My dream bird is a white fronted Amazon. A parrot landed on my bf's windshield about 3 seconds after my birthday last Dec. I heard a noise and turned around, and was like, "OMG. It's a parrot!" haha. I grabbed it like the dork that I am. Could have gotten bit! How random is that. Bird lands on windshield just after birthday. Anyway, I had him for a few days until we located the owners. But during that short period of time I fell in love with him. I was really disappointed when I had to return him. Especially after seeing his small cage, and finding out the reason he got lost. They let him out on their outside porch, wings unclipped. Stupid people. I miss him. :(

5. My boyfriend has Leukemia. He is one of the strongest people I have ever met, and my best friend! I would be lost without him. He has one more round of Chemo and then he'll be done! :D

6. I have Lupus. I just found out so I am still learning about the disease. Today has been a good day. Pretty much pain free except a little aching in my hands.

7. I photograph for Suicide Girls.

8. I'm loving my new camera!

9. I'm finally getting my life back on track at age 29!

10. I don't believe in religion, but I am spiritual. I don't think we're alone. :)

11. I constantly wonder how my kids have blue eyes, when their fathers eyes are green, and mine are brown...

12. I've never met any of my cousins. Though I did run into a guy who worked at the mall with the same last name as mine!

13. I still do not have my drivers license, and don't think I ever will.

14. I love love love Trader Joe's! They have the best hummus and juice there.

15. I have two children. Both boys. Both a handful.

16. I used to want another boy, however, as of late, I am seeing too many sweet looking baby girls...so now I want a girl. :p

17. I'm hoping to move to New York in 3 years.

18. I could eat corned beef every day for the rest of my life and I wouldn't get sick of it.

19. I hate onions, bell peppers, and cilantro. Oh ya, and pineapple too. In fact, I don't really like any fruit. I'm more a vegetable girl.

20. I got "dressed" up for the first time in years last week. Meaning, I wore a nice shirt. :p

21. I am very picky, very blunt, and very stubborn.

22. I have a potty mouth, which isn't such a good thing with a toddler in the house. I really need to watch what I say.

23. I love the outdoors, and think I'm one of the rare people here in Oregon that don't complain about the rain and snow.

24. My favorite color is green. :)

25. I much prefer cats than dogs.

26. I love to cook, but never have the time.

27. I do not own a tv, a stereo, or an ipod. I watch my movies online and my tv shows on Hulu.

28. My favorite tv show right now is It's Always Sunny! Crude humor gets me every time. :love:

[M&M's Mommy]

Round TWO?? Oh my goodness here I go :D

1. My grandmother turns 96 this year. Her mind is still as sharp as can be & her heath is still as good as we can hope for.

2. My mother has 12 brothers and sisters. My dad has 9. My mother-in-law has 10, my father-in-law has 6 :). All my aunts/uncles have on average 4-5 childrens..

3. ^^ means together, my hubby and I have a gazillion first cousins :)

4. I collect Beany babies.

5. I am always late. It's a bad habit I'm trying to quit, but not yet successful. My husband, on the other hand, is an extreme on-timer. So, whenever we go together, I'm on time. When I go by myself, I'm late :(

6. My resolution for this year was to pack my lunch every day. I'm keeping up with it so far so good.

7. My dream dog is a Golden retriever.

8. I LOVE all kinds of ice-cream, special ones with nuts. I can finish the whole box of ice-cream on one serving!!

9. I HATE wearing socks.

10. I sleep very easily. No mater what time of day, or whether I just woke up, no mater where I am.. If my back touches a flat surface, 2 second later, I'm gone :)

11. I am exellent at multi-tasking. Right now, I'm compiling this list, entering data to a spreadsheet, all the while talking to a vendor on the phone..

12. I'm very low maintenance. All my clothes, except for a few nice pieces to wear to church, interviews, parties, etc, are below $20 :)

13. I love roses. We have 50 bushes in all different colors at our home.

14. My figures are extremely sensitive to ice. I can't hold a frozen thing for more than a few seconds without turning the tips of my figers red, make them tinkling, and have the burning sensation.

15. I don't watch any sports on TV, except soccer.

16. I'm NOT a morning person. Once in college, I took an 8:00 a.m. class and only managed to attend it twice. One for a midterm, and the other for final. I got a B+ though :)

17. I never eat breakfast. (I know breakfast is the most important meal of the day.. but.. but I just don't feel hungry in the morning)

18. I wish I know how to cook better.

19. I still have all my wisdom teeth. They were set properly and have never given me any problems.

20. We set aside an area in our backyard for my parents to grow vegetables. Hopefully by next summer, we'll be having home-grown veggies!!

21. We'll be planting 10 tropical fruit trees in our backyard in the spring!! :D

22. When I was a little kid, my mom taught me practice reading by reading signs on the street. I still read all the signs now.

23. I love romantic comedy movies.

24. It's noon and I'm hungry. I'll go eat lunch then continue with the last three random things about myself :)

25. I'm not shy. I can start a conversation with anybody about anything.

26 << My age when I got married.

27. I don't know how to swim. I don't even know how to float. A near-drown experience when I was 15 took away my confident in water.

28. Other than that, I'm a very confident person. I believe if God's willing, I'm capable of doing anything I set my heart and mind to.

Oooh, Thanks!

[wolflady]

I swear I just killed over an hour reading through all of these and found everyone very interesting. I even learned a few things I didn't know before! ;)

Here are my 28 random things:

1. I like my job and my boss.

2. I never thought I would live in California and like wine as much as I do.

3. I have an obession with all things Irish/Celtic and have wanted to see Ireland since I was like 10 years old.

4. I love oriental cats and have 2! They are my dream pet and I'll never live in a house without an oriental.

5. I have met Heywood Banks 3 times (extra credit to those who know who Heywood Banks is!)

6. I joined the marching band in high school because a friend of mine told me they were going to Toronto my Senior year. I had a Clarinet, but didn't really know how to play. I joined anyway and even though I couldn't really read music (what are all those black dots?) I listened to everyone around me and learned the music that way - this even got me through 4 years of college bands!

7. I love wolves and did some volunteer work at Wolf Park when I was in college. I even got to hold a baby wolf. So cute! I really learned a lot about canine behavior working there.

8. I have been a member of an online forum (Pet Talk) since Jan 2001, and am still posting today! I have met so many people in this forum that are now friends in real-life.

9. I don't like the way I look - I have very low self-esteem

10. I'm very proud of my sister who has overcome many difficult challenges in life. She's a Doctor! Cool, huh?

11. I worked in a vet hospital for a year and still maintain their website!

12. I can't go to bed without washing my face and brushing my teeth - otherwise something just doesn't feel right

13. It takes forever for me to fall asleep, so I read every night. If I don't read, I will toss and turn and not sleep well. Even if I'm really tired, I still need to read at least a sentence or a page...basically until my eyes get heavy and I start to fall asleep.

14. I get "vibes" about people, places and things

15. I can't leave the house without making my bed - it feels too disorganized if the bed is left unmade. Similarly, clutter in the house stresses me out. I hate to clean, but usually feel much more calmn when things are newly fresh and clean and everything is in it's place.

10. I never learned to play a musical instrument which was a bummer, since I envied those in the marching band in h.s.
11. People that scuff their feet are very annoying to me. Pick them up!!!
12. I hate pulling weeds, so I'm not much of a gardener.
13. I tend to get nervous on very windy days. I been thru several hurricanes and one very small tornado.
14. I taught myself to knit, crochet and do macrame. I just couldn't get it when my mother tried to teach me. My favorite projects were afghans.
15. I cut my long hair when I turned 30, because I listened to my mother when she said I was getting "too old" for long hair. I still regret it.

26. When I was in grade school, I wrote an essay that won me a trip to the U.N. and Radio City Music Hall. That was my first train trip.
27. I never got my driver's license until after I was married, because my father was a very old-fashioned Italian dad, and he believed that women didn't need to know how to drive, and wouldn't allow me to take driver's-ed in school. Obviously, my mother never learned to drive!

I read that too. Made me CRYyyyyy. He was a genious. The good ones always go too soon.

[Daisy and Delilah]

Richard, this is very simple and I know you've done it this way:

GUACAMOLE RECIPE

3 ripe avocados(more if you wish)
2 plum tomatoes-deseeded
2 cloves of carlic finely diced
Cilantro to taste(I used quite a bit)
2 green onions sliced, tops and all
1 fresh jalapeno, diced-deseeded
Pickled jalapenos-I used about 8 slices-HOT HOT HOT!!!
1 tbsp. juice from the pickled jalapenos-EVEN HOTTER :eek:
Salt
Coarsely ground peppercorns
Juice of one nice juicy lime

Put the avocado in a bowl(I didn't mash it). I left it chunky so I could eat it.;)
Mix all ingredients with the avocado. Stir together gently, leaving chunks.
Squirt lime juice all over the mixture and gently stir in. You can add this with everything else if you want to avoid stirring too much.

If you like it mashed, just mash it or stir normally.

I think that's all I put in it, Richard. I hate it even more when it turns brown. The lime juice helps that from happening.
I dipped it with tortilla wedges I deep fried. It was delicious!!

ETA: I may have thrown some more spices I like in there too. I'm good at throwing everything in the spice rack in all my dishes.:)

[Daisy and Delilah]

Carmen, that book was so sad. At the end, I was bawling. I felt like I knew him and his family and all I could see were his kids and Jai not having him anymore. How cool that he wrote that book and left it for his legacy.:(

28. I had a panic attack at work this week. I've never had one before. My chest hurt so badly I thought I was going to have to go to the hospital.

1. I'm getting married in a little over three weeks.

27. I've been super laid-back about most of the wedding stuff, but one friend can't give me a solid answer on if he's bringing a guest and for some reason it's making me CRAZY.

28. I had a panic attack at work this week. I've never had one before. My chest hurt so badly I thought I was going to have to go to the hospital.

Oh, kiddo, so much of the stress is probably wedding-related, and soon it will all be over and you can begin the exciting part - being married to each other and enjoying it!

It is terrible how much emphasis society these days puts into having the "perfect" wedding - like it wasn't stressful enough? The most perfect, lovely, story-book wedding I ever went to (in early May, on a beautiful sunny and warm but not too hot day, small Vermont town, bride's dress crocheted by her mother, the town green - which we had to cross to get to the reception - all in blossom with wildflowers ...) the marriage was over by Thanksgiving. The next time that friend got married, it was by a Justice of the Peace in the shell of what would be their new house (construction delays) and they just had two of the carpenters for witnesses ... and that was the marriage that lasted!
