100 things

I've seen a couple bloggers doing this -100 things about me- and I've loved reading them! It was definitely hard to think of all these things, but I think everyone should do it. I think it's a fun way to learn about each other!

1. I love jalapeño stuffed green olives



2. I enjoy cleaning my house.


3. I love getting rid of things; Simplifying and purging my home of unnecessarily stored items makes me feel lighter (whatever that means).


4. Throwing the ball at the park with the dogs and the husband is my favorite


5. Dressing up Hedi and Kody (our dogs) in people clothes brings me great enjoyment. ; )


6. I don’t like scents that are blue. Candles, Lotion, Body Wash etc…


7. I like sewing, but I’m not very good at it.


8. I don’t like watching sports on tv. It would sure be convenient if I did, but I don’t.


9. I would like to have friends over for dinner more often.


10. I like to stay really busy whether at work or at home. I need to learn to be still sometimes.


11. My favorite weather is 75 degrees, sunny and a breeze.


12. I used to love roller coasters. LOVE. Now I can’t even turn around to quickly or I get dizzy.


13. I am so thankful for my wonderful heritage. My grandparents are amazing people whose love and prayers have made me who I am today.


14. I love organizing anything (drawers, the pantry, closets, etc…)


15. I love going to the Thanksgiving parade via the train in Ft. Worth every year.


16. I LOVE Earl Grey Tea. I have my mother to thank for this. : )


17. I Love road trips/weekends with my girlfriends where we have hours to just sit and talk about our lives. These are the times I feel closest to them.


18. I love my siblings and I’m so thankful that I can call them my best friends.


19. I love singing along with praise and worship music in my car. (Although now I am aware of the fact that I don’t sing very well thanks to a certain sister of mine ; )


20. I never wear jeans when it rains unless they are cuffed or tucked into boots, cause there is nothing worse than sitting in air conditioning all day with 6 inches of wet hem!


21. I like going to bed early and getting up early


22. I love that my husband makes me laugh until I’m in tears (on a weekly basis)


23. I actually don’t like getting pedicures or manicures that much. I guess I have sensitive cuticles or something, but the only part I enjoy is when they dip you in the hot wax and stick your feet in the little booties and leave you alone for a few minutes.


24. I always second guess my taste in clothing so I prefer to shop with a friend whose taste I trust.


25. I prefer to shop for my home alone.


26. I cook. Lukie cleans. It works great.


27. I wish I could eat ice cream instead of meat for the rest of my life.


28. I hate getting my hair cut. My hair tangles SO easy, you have NO idea. So it is a painful process, but the end result is always worth it.


29. I love art museums


30. I love to snuggle, whether it’s with a certain fella, a couple of grey pups, a sister, or a best friend.


31. I love checklists. I have a long term TO DO list for our house and it feels so good when I get to put a line through a completed task.


32. I love being tan, but don’t want to be a wrinkly woman. So I’ve opted to be a sunscreen queen.


33. I love pictures, printing them off and putting them in albums is my fav.


34. I hardly ever wear bracelets (i own 2), I rarely wear necklaces, and I always wear earrings


35. I’m so proud of my Marine sister, she is the toughest person I know and also one of the sweetest.


36. I love lighting. Lamps, Recessed Lights, Chandeliers etc… Lighting can totally change the look and feel of a room with the flick of a switch.


37. I like filling out forms. There is something nice about having exact information for each blank.


38. I would like to have a green thumb, I don’t know if I do or not yet. Maybe next Spring I will find out.


39. I am blind without my contacts. BLIND.


40. I’ve always enjoyed running but I’ve been painfully lazy for two years going on three. Yeesh


41. My husband and I have the exact same hair. The length is different, but everything else is the same.


42. I love having Kody and Heidi sleep in bed with me when the hubs is out of town. Heidi is a professional snuggler, and Kody just makes me feel super safe.


43. My American Girl Doll of choice was: SAMANTHA (Loved her)


44. In third grade I told my mom I wanted to wear a dress every single day to school. So I did. Such a girlie I was.
