5. I go to Mariners games to eat and people watch- NOT BECAUSE I ENJOY THE GAME!
4. I didn't wear glasses till I was 25
3. I never found the joy in reading as a kid- it took till I was about 22 or 23 to start to read all kinds of books that people suggested. {f.y.i I used to only read short stories and non fiction, so I'm glad that I have branched out or I would have missed several good books lately- such as: the secret life of bees, the mermaid chair, a million little pieces, the twilight series, and the Amish books I just finished}
2. I collect Nativity Scenes
1. I can not NOT not stand ungroomed eyebrows!
I just want to pin the person down and wax & tweeze the daylights out of them! I tweeze my husbands and oldest sons brows so they aren't the men you see on the road that have unibrow!
No straggly, straight, sticking out every where ungroomed brows! Yuck-O!
I think the challenge should have been to list something like 125 or 150 things about yourself.
So I have just a few more to add...if your not too bored..read on.
~ would like to learn to sew or be crafty in some matter
~ feel like if my bed is made, the room is 'clean' to some degree
~when I grow up I want to be a mortician.... let that sink in for a moment..yes that means I want to do dead peoples hair and make-up
~I have a bee in my bonnet about wanting to go to N.Y for our wedding anniversary in June, because hopefully I will be home with a baby next year at that time:)
~ I think the Amish are amazing
~A boyfriend asked me to marry him when I was 17, I left him at the Olive Garden in Lynnwood, and no, I don't feel bad.
~ I call my 89 year old grandma every Sunday night
~~~and last but not least~
I sleep with a baby blanket that my Mom in law gave me when I was pregnant the third time, it seems to comfort me to sleep each night.
