I saw the 100 things about me list and loved it. I used to be into journaling but haven't written in years and what a good way to write a few (100 exactly) things about yourself that you can look back on and see how you've changed! I'm turning 30 on May 22nd and so this is a perfect time for my 100 things about me.
1.) This is how I write numbers.
2.) I hate having an overstuffed fridge. I have to be able to see all the food I have or it makes me crazy.
3.) I like the idea of having company at my house but not the practise.
4.) I love all crafts, anything creative I'm there but can't draw worth beans.
5.) I am teaching myself the piano and I am my worst student.
6.) I love my son but I am so happy to have a girl. I'm not even a girly person but I just LOVE the dresses, bows and frills!
7.) I worry constantly and think I am turning into a hypochondriac. The other night I couldn't sleep because I needed a plan if the doctor tells me I have cancer.
8.) I am not a morning person by choice. (Just ask poor Mark and Darrell) I am a morning person by necessity.
9.) I can only be sympathetic for two days when people are sick. Those two days I am the best; getting people soup, rubbing their back and feet, the best care giver you can imagine. That third day rolls around, I'm done.
10.) I HATE hugs. I hug my husband and children willingly everyone else, sorry, I hate it.
11.) I LOVE spare change. I collect it and roll it. Tyson calls it my game. Right now I have $145 dollars in misc. change. I will pick ANY penny off the ground. It makes me happy. Ridiculously happy.
12.) I have developed an allergy to all of my earrings. It breaks my heart. I just cannot buy a "real" pair yet. I know one day I will. Maybe with my spare change fund.
13.) I am a pack rat. My grandpa lived through the depression and taught me everything he knew. He had a drawer labeled "pieces of string that are too small for anything". I'm almost that bad.
14.) I miss my Grandpa.
15.) One reason I love Jason is that when we were dating he told me I don't have to throw any of my "treasures" away.
16.) I'm obsessed with teeth. OBSESSED!
17.) I can't type. I use two fingers, but I'm pretty fast with those two fingers.
18.) I'm a swearer. Jason thought I would be better after kids. It's only gotten worse.
19.) I've only been to 4 states and never out of the country.
20.) I'm worried if I leave the country I may never get back in. You've seen the movie "The Net". These things happen.
21.) I don't like breakfast foods.
22.) Weight Watchers is killing me.
23.) IKEA is my favorite store.
24.) I'm a sleep talker, used to be sleep walker too but now just sleep talking is all.

46.) I have poly-cystic ovary syndrome.
47.) I sliced my right thumb open when I was 18 and needed 6 stitches. It makes a great fingerprint but has brought my life of crime to an end.
48.) I love yoga, but have freakishly short arms and can't do half of the moves.

Your eyes are not playing tricks on you. Here is our whole family in ONE car! (My big head is covering Taylor) We finally bought our mini van and we LOVE it!! Yeah!!!
We bought a Toyota Sienna and I insisted it have the automatic doors. What a genius invention!
We also bough a little baby pool for the kids to get into. Tyson and Nickel were very involved in the set up.
Taylor loved the water. It was freezing cold but they had a blast.
Two more Tyson sleeping pictures. The boy just passes out anywhere.
Darrell is having his room painted by his staff Kristin. She is doing such a good job. He is getting a Superman room and it will be awesome when she's done.
Jason and I have been laughing our heads off over this picture. Taylor looks exactly like her Grandpa DeMille.
Jason is officially out of the dog house with the purchase of my new mini van. I do appreciate that he does care if I am mad at him and then tries to fix it. I will have to be very nice for at least a month though, which could be painful. Does anyone else find it a chore to be nice?
