100 Things About Me - Part 3
I am loving this post series. It's so much fun to think about and share all of the little things that make up the larger picture of who you are. If you missed the first 20 - you can go back and read them here and here.
30. I have a thing for jugglers, magicians - basically anyone who can amaze or mystify me.
31. I've always wanted to learn to dance. Hubby even agreed to take dance classes with me last year but I chickened out because I worried how I about how I would look doing the salsa or the tango. I blame Dancing with the Stars for this dream.
32. I appreciate and love my family, but I am greedy with the time that I take to just be alone. This month I will take this to a whole new level by taking my very first trip sans family. I will be traveling to Minneapolis for Box Top University on June 16th. I'm giddy and terrified all at the same time. Keeping the thought that I will get to visit the Mall of America is helping me keep up my courage.
33. While I am a country girl at heart and listen to it constantly - if there was a contest that you had to sing along to every country music song - I would rock that. But there is a special place in my heart for 90's music. Thankfully Hubby and I are from the same growing up decade and he shares my love all those one hit wonders and great drinking songs.
34. Coke Zero has won my heart. I can't tell the difference between it and Diet Coke - but I continue to choose it instead. What the heck are they putting in this stuff?
35. I really want a nook but don't think that I can give up books. I love them old or new. I love to get lost in them and share them. I have the kindle app - but the iPhone is not exactly large enough for reading for joy.
36. I want all the things that I always wanted as a child for my kids. I am working on making my dreams into a reality. I adore my busy life. As much as I might complain on twitter about all of the things that my kids are into - I am thankful that we are able to provide and contribute to the people that they will become. Sports/Camps I believe are a part of that. The sad part is I struggle to teach them exactly how great they have it. I want them to know and appreciate just how lucky they are.
37. I love my kids. I do. I mean I really really do - but once bedtime comes and goes without a sleepy eye in the house...I turn into Monster Mom. I might be known to yell. I might be known to shed a few tears in anger. Come On - just go to sleep already. Bedtime is not my strong suit.
38. Each day I battle with laziness and sometimes crankiness. I wish that I was born with a happy disposition but I was not. Most mornings I paste the smile on my face and keep it there until it's natural enough that I forget that I am trying to be happy - and am just happy.
39. I can't live without my Iphone. Before it - I had a free phone. You know the one they give you when you sign 2 years of your life away. It made calls and pretty sure I could have texted with it, but I didn't. I used it for making phone calls. But then Hubby got an Iphone. I made fun of him thinking there is no need for a computer/phone that you can carry in your pocket. Until I used it. I was hooked from the very first app. Now? My Iphone has taken over my life. It's got everything on it - phone, internet, ipod, FB/twitter, calender, calculator, GPS and camera. The only bad part? With 2 Iphones in the house...we can be sitting right next to each other but miles apart. Along with all the apps it should come with a time limit or human detector. Could you image if it shut off when you came with a foot of your Hubby?
40. Fill in the blank___________. I would love to know something about each and everyone of you. What you love or don't. What you can live with or can't. What you would like to change or don't.

I wish I were going to Minneapolis! I'd make time to meet up with "Daddy's Fish Bowl" and family there!!!
ReplyDeleteI wish I could dance.
I gave up my iPhone for a different smart phone, however, thats only because I have an iPad that I couldn't live without!
I always get a funny aftertaste when I drink Coke Zero so I stick with my diet Coke or diet Doc.
ReplyDeleteFor the record, I have a Nook, but I'll never give up paper books completely!
Haha, Minzy Wimzy beat me to it, I was just about to say "HEY, YOU'RE COMIN TO MY NECK OF THE WOODS!" At least the weather will be favorable.
ReplyDeleteMy #40: At one point in my life, I used to be able to juggle up to 5(or 4, can't remember anymore) objects at one time, one of them being an apple that I would take a bite from.
I love the 90's music too!
ReplyDeleteI love the app idea!
You're coming to Minnesota? How exciting. I hope we have great weather for you! How'd you get involved with Box Tops? 31, 35, 36, and 39 but mine's a Droid.
