Oh and here I am, no make up, hair thrown back. Just the way I like it. :)
Eleven Random Things:
1. After I eat something I HAVE to brush my teeth. It drives me nuts until I do. I'm not sure when or how I developed this habit but I do remember being little and being at a friends for a sleep over and not being able to go to sleep or anything until I brushed my teeth after all the junk food and candy. I have paid dearly in taunts and teasing for this apparently strange habit.
2. Up until six months ago I slept with on to two stuffed animals a night. Now obviously I have a husband to sleep with. But when packing up my belongings before I got married I really had to talk myself into leaving all my stuffed animals to my parents for all their future grandkids. Although I don't think I would trade sleeping with my husband for stuffed animals.
3. I'm in like (Growing to love) with running again. It has been my major stress reliever as of recent. It helps clear my mind and I feel so good afterwards. I'm slowly getting faster and going further. It's also such a sense of accomplishment. I've set my new running "Goal" to five miles in 30 minutes. I am currently at 4.5 miles in 30 minutes. Only .5 more to go!
4. Also up until six months ago I had never cooked an entire meal in my life. Now I have discovered that I am actually quite good at it. No where near my amazing talented mother but I have come to find a new love for it. I now like to go up to my moms and help her cook. Before I wouldn't have ever even offered.
5. I can't sleep at night unless I have showered. Another one of those sort of strange things. I MUST shower before bed or else I do not sleep. Which is why Camping without a motorhome or trailer is just so unappealing to me. I need my CLEAN Bathroom!!!
6. My Favorite flowers are Roses. Of course I love any flowers really. Especially when they come from my husband just because. :)
7. I get road rage very quickly. I am not a patient person on the roads when other drivers are not being very aware of their surroundings. It has only gotten worse with all the construction going on. I can't get anywhere on time anymore even if I leave 40 minutes early. Bad drivers: You do not help!!!
8. I recently found out that I am Hypoglycemic. Like I told my mom I am just destined to be Chubby. :)
9. I am addicted to my TV series shows. :) I am currently watching: Dance moms, Make it or Break it, Gossip Girl, (Starting) Pretty Little Liars, Alcatraz, Punk'd, Touch, The River, Revenge, Glee AND waiting for Bun Heads. :) Pathetic I know.
10. I secretly wish that I were like Elizabeth Montgomery in Bewitched. Her powers are so awesome and they would be so handy sometimes.
11. I LOVE KETTLE CORN!!! And sadly University Mall Cinemas is the only place I like it from so that's the only Theatre I will go to. :)
Here are the questions that Rach gave me to answer.
1. what is something that you are absolutely addicted to?
Oh so like I mentioned above my TV Shows but something else I'm addicted to.... Instagram. I love looking at the pictures people post. Especially Celebrities. I love seeing all the neat places they get to go and all the fun things they do.
2. what is one thing that you are looking forward to? why?
I am looking forward to next Friday. I get to babysit one of my co workers kids and it's been so long since I've gotten to babysit. I love babysitting and her kids are so adorable. :) I can't wait!
3. what was the best/worst date you've ever been on?
Let's see... Gosh I don't even know. I think maybe the worst date I ever went on was with a guy friend I had who only asked me out because his Girlfriend (Also a bestie of mine) at the time made him ask other girls out before she would go out with him again. I didn't know this at the time when he asked me out but I said yes anyways. Come to find out it's a date just so he can say he went out with other girls. So we went out got ice cream and all he did was talk about this girlfriend (Also my friend) and their problems. We sat in front of my house for almost three hours with him just talking about how much he loved her and their plans to get married. And then to top the night off She called while I was with him and he made me sit there and listen to their conversation. The whole conversation was pretty much a fight. Talk about awkward! And then after the 30 minute phone call he made me talk to him for another hour. Not my favorite date in the whole world!!!
4. how would you change the world?
By living my life in such a way that I would be an example to people around me. I am a huge believer that being a good example can change peoples lives. I think actions speak volumes and when people see you living a good life and doing good things and keeping your promises that small changes will happen in their lives whether they realize it or not.
5. what's one talent you wish you had better developed?
At the moment I wish I had stuck with something sports related. My musical talents are still developing and are being put to great use in church callings and such but really as far as sports goes all I can do right now is run. Whoopie... not very impressive.
6. what do you do with your friends?
Well since I'm on a shortage of friends not much. The ones who are here we go to dinner and chat and the ones who come home. Mainly Rach :), Sometimes we have sleep overs and watch movies she's never seen. Which is pretty much any movie you mention. ;)
7. do you believe in love at first sight? why?
I actually don't. I know BOO I'm a cliche ruiner. But I really think that to TRULY fall in love that requires time. I believe in Instant Attraction and Instant Connections but to me Love is too strong a word.
8. who (not of your family) do you admire? why?
I really admire Mitt Romney. I listen to all the slander and the debates and read the articles that just tear that poor man down and it's so unfair. People really don't know what they are talking about when they criticize them. I think it takes a special person to be in politics but I think it even more rare to find a person who has values and holds to them. While I do admire him, I do realize he isn't perfect. I just admire his ability to move forward and do what he thinks is best and not let what anyone or the media says effect him.
9. what are 3 of your pet peeves?
Terrible Drives as I listed above :)
Smacking sounds with the mouth. Uggg.. I hate that one.
Anything in my house, bedroom, or on my desk out of place.
10. what's one thing that no one knows you can do? (for instance, i crochet)
I Cross Stitch. :) I actually made this cross stitch of a Penguin wearing a little sailor outfit holding a sail boat. He's so cute and I love him so much. I've been meaning to turn him into a pillow for a niece or nephew but I just haven't gotten around to it yet.
11. where do you want to visit before you die?
Oh my goodness so many places. Europe, Asia, EVERYWHERE but I think the one place that I MUST visit before I die is Tonga where I was born. I think it would be neat to see what it's like and get a feel for what sort of life my Birth mom was living and actually get to see how different my life would have been. It's easy to imagine it but it's a whole different thing when you get to see it in real life.
