25 Random Things

I always get reat ideas from other people's blogs...I'm a self-professed blog stalker...so here's to Heather! Here are 25 RANDOM things about me...just in case you care:)

1. My pants are getting too tight.

2. I love toys. I was never able to throw them away or give them away when I was little...and I still have most of them somewhere!

3. I write poems.

4. I was raised in a Methodist church...but I loved going to my grandmother's Baptist church (what little that I did)...because they sang a lot more...and I loved hearing her sing.

5. There is a little part of me that wishes I would have majored in music. There is a HUGE part of me that wishes I would have toughed out my nursing degree. I got scared in microbiology and changed my major...what was I thinking?

6. (From the mouth of a teacher and a parent...) I can't stand parents who make excuses for their children. I hope I never do that. If you catch me, please ask me to stop.

7. I have 2 beautiful daughters and one on the way...but I have been pregnant 2 other times. I wonder if the angels that were supposed to be my babies are in heaven with my grandparents and I wonder if they'll recognize me when I get there. I hope so:)

8. I have always felt strangely close to my granddaddy...even though he passed away when I was one. I talked to the sky when I was little...hoping he could hear me.

9. Let's see...I've sat through immigration interviews and have had to prove the legitimacy of my marriage.

10. I have then sat through the resulting citizenship ceremony and count it as one of the most proud days of my life.

11. I have loved my husband since the first day (night) I met him. Really. I was so confused that night because I thought my best friend was trying to set me up with someone else and I couldn't figure out why not Aaron? I just had the names mixed up...it obviously got sorted out!

12. I've walked home from a club...in Nac...with my best friend...would NEVER do that here!

13. My sister and I have had some really good fights. I have treated her in the past ways that make me terribly ashamed. I'm glad she has never held a grudge and we are best friends. I can't imagine acting that way now.

14. My brother had me convinced at one time that I could be a track star...HA!

15. My creative passion is photography. I wish I could afford...and had the time...to take all the classes I wanted to.

16. I hate doing my hair. It is one of my least favorite things to do...which is why it is always pulled back.

17. I love my minivan!!

18. I got a punch on my card in 5th grade and had to miss movie Friday...did you know we can't watch movies like that in school now?

19. I am completely organized at school...I just got my desk in order today...I love that!

20. I am not organized at home...sometimes I can't see my island...and it's pretty!

21. I can spank one daughter and it works...the other one laughs at me. But she hates time-out!

22. I love junkfood and cokes.

23. I loved Mimi's pancakes, Mama's roast, and I love everything my mom makes...but especially her hamburger steak. On that note...I CANNOT cook...and I don't like to!

24. I admire the loyalty in dogs...they are my favorite animal.

25. I LOVE being a cop's wife!

oh wow..SO MUCH resonates!!

i have no doubt you'll know your babies in heaven, and they'll know you!! i'm sorry for your losses...i can't imagine that.

i've always felt close to my grandmother too, and she died when i was 6 mos. it's always grieved me greatly that i never knew her. our oldest is named after her. :0)

when i worked for Congress, one of my co-workers dealt exclusively with immigration casework. i know just about the whole interview process for marriages, and i can't imagine going through that!

i remember some of you and your sister's fights. you guys have always made me smile. :0) your relationship has always made me happy to have 2 girls!

amen on the hair. mine's always up too. because really, what do you do with a mass of curly abstraction?! not that you have that problem in particular. i'm just sayin'...

love junk food and cokes too, esp. when i'm pregnant. which does NOT make sense!

i need the recipe for hamburger steak! i crave hamburgers all the time when i'm preg-o. this sounds like something i need! :0)
