100 Little Tidbits About Me (Part I)

I recently wrote 25 Random Things About Me on Facebook and I decided to list them here as well. When I first started typing, I really had no idea what to share. Nothing, or very little came to mind. Seriously, who talks about themselves that much - it felt a little like bragging. Once the ideas came rolling, I was slightly disappointed to arrive at #25. A friend of mine blogged "100 Things About Me" in a series of 4 entries. I so enjoyed reading them, I will adopt her series - kuddos to K! So here goes.

100 Little Tidbits About Me (Part I)

1. I am absolutely in love with my husband of 8 1/2 years!

2. I love my 2 beautiful children so much my heart hurts and tears appear!

3. I secretly love having a 2 bedroom house because my son and daughter have the neatest interactions due to sharing a room.

4. I conflictingly want a bigger house - with at least 3 bedrooms, 2 bedrooms, back yard and a bigger driveway, but don't want to leave my neighborhood.

5. The most difficult thing I learned in undergrad was making my own decisions.

6. My wedding ring sparkles the most in church.

7. I am proud that I paid my entire way through college and graduate school (even though I am still repaying my loans - it feels like I am paying to work - but my career allows me to work part-time!).

8. I can sew, crochet, knit, cross-stitch, scrapbook; but not much time for projects!

9. I was a member of a synchronized swim club in high school.

10. I played the French Horn and piano, and I currently ring the handbells in church.

11. I love to grocery shop and do not mind cooking. New recipes are fun and the end results are yummy!

12. I have met several New Year's Resolutions.

13. I am my parents Power of Attorney.

14. I donated both of my children's cord blood in honor of my Mom (a 2-time Leukemia survivor)!

15. I am a procastinator.

16. I could never sell a box of Girl Scout cookies, except to Grandma! I still cringe at fundraisers, and I threw out my son's preschool candy sale order form.

17. Someday, when I stop making my own and friends' handmade baby gifts I will crochet/sew blankets for Project Linus.

18. I was born and raised in Green Bay, WI, close enough to hear fans cheering wihen the Packers scored. I also walked to the Arena (across from Lambeau) from school to go to the circus on a field trip.

19. I enjoyed swinging in haylofts when I went with my Grandpa to help milk/test cows.
20. I can cheat in solitaire.

21. I take tons of pictures but don't have many printed from my camera or the computer.

22. Music calms my spirit and moves my soul.

23. I ditched high-school once on Senior Ditch Day. After I turned in my English paper, I went out to breakfast with friends, picked up my free mini cedar chest (I still have and use it), and went to the Mall of America. Fun times with Jo!

24. I love going out for breakfast.

25. My closest girlfriends are like sisters!
