Thrity Five.

35 Things about Me.

1. I finish books. Even if I don't like it. I have to finish it. Not the same for sewing/craft projects though.
2. I love to dress dolls.
3. I have a thing for matches. Not the fire kind, but the kids co-coordinated clothing kind. It is actually an illness.
4. I love traditions. We have traditions for everything.
   
5. I like guacamole too, but I only found out last year, now I have 34 years worth of guacamole to catch up on.
6. I'd play Christmas music 365 days a year.
7. I adore babies. Adore them. That new baby stage, I think it is heaven.
   
8. I don't do paperwork. It is bad and in 2009 I'm going to get better. Please hold me to this.
9. I dance. All the time. It will be embarrassing for my children someday I'm sure.
10. I wear lip gloss and earrings all the time. Thanks Mom. I look so cute when the mailman comes and I am still in my pj's.
    
11. I cry a lot. A lot. Happy, Sad, you name it, I'll cry with you about it. I'm also a total sympathy crier, I can't be around a crying person without tearing up. (except that crying my kids do when there is nothing to cry about.)
    
12. I like tacky things. I have to resist the urge to decorate my home from the Dollar Tree.
13. I sat for almost 3 hours today on the couch holding a sleeping baby (ok, he isn't really a baby at 14 months and 30something lbs. He is my baby.) I feel NO guilt.
14. Back to that book thing, I read fast. I read Beck's Christmas book today, didn't love it. (I did go through a lot of tissues though.)
    
15. I think I might have more cyber-friends than real life friends. I've been a part of an internet community for over 10 years.
    
16. I have lived in Idaho, Utah, Oregon, Colorado, Delaware (for just a few months) and Maryland. I'd always wanted to live in Utah, Oregon, Colorado and Maryland! Cool. Don't ask where else I want to live, it would depress my Mom, but wouldn't it be cool to live in a foreign country for just a little while?
17. 1/2 way to 35, are you still reading? I love boxed Mac and Cheese. and cake mixes. And I'm fine with cheap chocolate.
    
18. I like painted toe nails, even when it isn't sandal season.
19. I love water. (drinking, I'm not a swimmer though.)
20. I love to take pictures.
    
21. I am a fabulous story teller. (humble too.)
    
22. I watch most movies (even non action flicks) with my eyes covered the whole time. Anticipation kills me.
23. I can't really carry a tune in a bucket. But I love to sing. Loudly.
    
24. I like to wash dishes and fold clothes.
25. I will read a book over and over and over again.
    
26. I like cupcakes!
27. I am the worlds worst cake decorator. I go so far as to dread taking pics of my kids blowing out the candles for fear of the cake being recorder for the kids to tease me about later.
    
28. I love brand new socks and brand new garments.
29. I love the smell of oranges. (Nutmeg and Orange Zest Scentsy!)
    
30. I am a compulsive weather checker.
31. I wear long johns all the time (not as much as Dave though, and only 1 pair at a time, not layers.)(Michael had on 3 layers of lj's 2 pairs of sweat pants, his Christmas pajamas and went to put on new jeans last night. I think that might define laziness in the clothing dept! )
32. I'm also a compulsive Blog-checker. I'm not compulsive about anything else though. Hence, my really messy house.
33. I struggle with routines.
    
34. I have spent the past 12 years serving in one of 2 callings in the church. That is a lot of time in Primary! (counselor or chorister) I really love it though, I like to see my kids in action. Eve is a fireball in church. Who knew?
35. I am loved and very very blessed.
    

Happy Birthday Me! :)
