Whether it’s appropriate or not, here’s my ‘25 things’ as posted on Facebook. This way you little more about me, and when you comment, I learn a little more about you! 😉 Don’t forget to ‘friend me’ on Facebook – and Rosie – THIS GOES FOR YOU TOO! 🙂

1. I raced everyone in my grade (even raced the yard duties and custodians) to win the title of “Fastest Girl in Fourth Grade”.

2. I dated a guy with O.C.D. and it drove me crazy. We were late to everything because he had to comb his eyebrows and iron his jeans before we left.

3. I must always have chapstick on my lips. I reapply hourly.

4. I used to think that ‘workaholics’ were ridiculous. Who would EVER want to inflict more work on themselves than was necessary. This week I realized I DO. So now I deserve good retirement gifts.

5. If the bed is against the wall, I will not sleep on that side because of the spiders.

6. When I’m mad, I cry – and I hate it.

7. I am terrified of being lazy. For this reason I cannot enjoy: sleeping in, watching TV, taking naps, or relaxing.

8. I am the youngest of seven children. My brother is 17 years older than me.

9. I was voted ‘Most Likely to be President’ in 8th grade.

10. I met my husband at 18 and I got married at 19. I’m convinced my co-workers thought I was pregnant and was getting married to cover it up. Just happens that I found him early, and getting married was the best decision I’ve ever made. We have so much fun together.

11. I think it’s unfortunate that people think they need to get married or have kids to be happy.

12. When we were younger, I would do my sister Paige’s Art homework, and she would do my Math homework.

13. I think a true friend is someone I can eat a Starburst with: you eat all the reds and pinks, I eat all the oranges and yellows.

14. Going to a GREAT movie for the first time is my favorite thing to do – however you don’t know you’ve done it until it’s over.

15. I’m terrified of airplanes.

16. I’m the Yahtzee QUEEN.

17. I’m turning into my mother… good thing is my mother is hip, understanding, relaxed, and ready to party.

18. I miss going dancing.

19. I wish I were better at cooking, and I wish I liked running.

20. I wish I owned a letterpress.

21. Married for nearly 6 years, and I have NEVER flatulated in front of my husband.

22. I want to eat cookies everyday. Sometimes I do.

23. When I was born, my parents were expecting the boy they thought they were having. I went home in a baseball onesy, and my name was going to be Ryan.

24. I go in phases, red hair, brown hair, tongue ring, short hair, blonde hair… I get bored easily.

25. I’ve owned three homes by 24. Oh, the lessons you learn in real estate.
