Just because i finally took the time to post this on facebook, I figured I would stick this on the blog too. Not really that ya'll are interested...my kids are far more exciting...but I'm doing it anyway, just for kicks and giggles.
25 Random Things About Me
Here goes:
1. I think I could live my entire life in hoodie sweatshirts. I wouldn't even mind living in Alaska so i could wear them in the summer.
2. My arms are way too long for my body.
3. I am a living oxymoron: I love change but thrive on routine in my everyday life. I really like being with people, yet, I would be perfectly content living in a cabin in the mountains all by myself for a year. (okay...my girls and husband would probably have to come along.....for at least some of the time. :)
4.My life dream is to be a park ranger. Dorky huh? But I will do it. Even when I am 70 and I have to drag Jevan around in a big RV. Maybe if I promise him we can put pink flamingos out in front when we park it.
5. My most random childhood memory is when my friend and I found a GIANT gymnastic mat in a pond by our house. We had the time of our lives...until we noticed the leeches.
6. People think I really like to exercise. That's only sort of true. Mostly, I just really like to eat.
7. I can't stand it when people rub their bare feet back and forth across carpet. It's like nails on a chalkboard to me.
8. I would have LOVED to work on the movie crew that did Planet Earth. My top 3 dream destinations are Peru, New Zealand and China.
9. I have never broken a bone or had stitches. I have had a blood transfusion though. Twice.
10. I have some strange disease that makes my hands and feet cold ALL the time. It's really annoying. My favorite Valentine's present from my husband was a fleece covered heating pad. Sadly, I think I curl up with it more than I curl up with him:). Kidding, Jev.
11. I LOVE off-the-wall random comedy. Flight of the Conchords is one of my favorites. Movies include Rubin & Ed and Danny Deckchair.
12. I once went without bathing for close to 20 days. Know that I didn't have any choice. Luckily, it was in the great outdoors and everyone else around me stunk too.
13. I am addicted to chocolate. If anyone knows any way to overcome this, please let me know. Is there a patch or something I can use?
14. Other foods I love include artichokes, mashed potatoes and homemade ice cream.
15. I've always had this small fear of talking on the phone to strangers. It goes back to the time I tried to ask some pet store owner about the strange behavior of my hamster and he hung up on me.
16. I love to read but it's hard for me to find time anymore. My new obsession is downloading books onto my iPod. It's so great..try it. Folding laundry is so much better when you're listening to a good book.
17. I have absolutely no long term memory. Or short term for that matter. It drives me crazy.
18. I also have no fashion sense. See number 1. I'm a very lazy dresser. In fact, I often leave the same pair of earrings in for probably a month.
19. One of my many heros is Jane Goodall. I once saw her speak and she made me cry real big tears. Other heros include Gordon B Hinkley and of course, my mom.
20. I have always had a thing for Sean Connery even though he's like.....80.
21. I had secret crushes on all my soccer coaches except for one.
22. I like to cook for the most part. Sometimes I find myself wondering who in the heck ever figured out how some foods work. Take meringue. What sad person sat and thought "maybe if I hand-beat these egg whites for 20 hours it will turn into cool fluff!" Who does that?
23. Most people know this, but I really love snow. My happy place is cross country skiing up Millcreek Canyon with my dog. Snowy days give me warm fuzzies. I even don't mind shovelling it.
24. It takes me forever to text things on my phone. So, if you ever get one for me, know there was a lot of heart-felt effort put into it.
25. I could never imagine my life without my husband and my little girls. They are all truly what gives me the most joy in this life.

Dang it! I should have commented here. I didn't mean to combine Kernodle and duck bottoms in the same sentence, but now I did again. Anyway - you are not boring. I learned some new things about you and realized that I am a complete idiot for not spending more time with you.
I introduced Jen to artichokes so it's good to see there are raving fans like us out there! I remember Steve Taylor - he was there I think not too long after we had joined the church - a couple of years if that. Tell him we said hi - I'll let my mom know - she remembers everyone better than I do.
I used to have that cold hands and feet thing too…the doctor had a name for it and everything, but then it just sort of went away. Hurray for Flight of the Conchords!
Sounds just like you!!! Ok, I might have been surprised by a few but I know the real you, since I have known you for 31 years!!!!
