Facebook chain letter-25 Random Things about me

I did my list on facebook and then later I saw my cousin's wife, Kierstin, put hers on her blog. I thought that was a great idea! It took long enough that it deserves 2 spots on the world wide web....right?

#1 I am a total night owl. I hate to wake up in the morning and will set my alarm 1 hour earlier so I can hit snooze repeatedly
#2 I had my first child, a son, on the same day of the year that my mom had her first child, a son, we were both 21.
#3 I hate it when people cheer, clap, boo or make any kind of excessive noise in a movie theater.
#4 I have been cutting hair for 13 years now and I have only really cut 2 people. One of those was really bad! I still feel guilty every time I think about it. Ouch!
#5 I used to have a really big birthmark on my calf. When I was born my mom said it was the size of a fingerprint but as I grew, it grew. When it started to grow black hair out of it...I had it removed. Now I just have a huge scar.
#6 I HATE to run. I am really bad at running. The longest I have ever ran was 2 miles. But I think it would be sooo cool to be in a marathon.
#7 When I was about 10, I was riding my horse at a camp site when someone shook out their tent. I feel off but my foot was caught in the stirrup and I was drug for about 100 feet. Amazingly I wasn't hurt and rode back to our base camp. I still am proud of myself for that.
#8 I have never broken a bone, sprained a muscle or been other wise seriously injured. Only one set of stitches.
#9 I Love the smell of gasoline, must be because of my parent's gas stations growing up.
#10 My dad died in a car accident when I was 17. I miss him dearly everyday, I think about him everyday, but can't imagine how different my life would be if he was still here.
#11 I used to not be able to stand my brother and thought he was the biggest annoyance in this world. Now he is one of my best friends. I am so proud of all his successes.
#12 For our honeymoon Ryan and I went to Niagara Falls on the Canadian side. I hadn't made a hotel reservation because I thought it would be no problem to find a room for just one night (don't ask me why). Apparently it was a Canadian holiday and their were NO rooms lefts. We ended up in a seedy hotel and slept on top of the covers with bath towels laid on top of them. Great memory!
#13 I am terrified of snakes. ugh...just thinking about them gives me the chills. If you think of it, ask me about the story with Porter and the snake. It's a great one.
#14 Ryan and I once got lost on a horseback ride in the Superstition mountains. We almost had to spend the night. It made me realize how unprepared we were for an emergency...Since then I over prepare for hikes and outings. Ryan too.
#15 Most people know that I am a really picky eater. I almost consider it an eating disorder. I hate it.
#16 I had a dream the other night that I was President Obama's barber. I got to live in the White House and everything! It was awesome!
#17 I only have 3 front teeth on the bottom where most people have 4.
#18 My favorite movie is "O'brother where art thou?" I could watch it everyday.
#19 I love to play with Hayden's webkinz. I know...lame.
#20 My favorite food is pizza. Cheese pizza.
#21 One time I hooked my brother's head with a fishing pole.
#22 Ryan called me 4 times the day that he asked me out and left 4 messages. I was at work, but was flattered by his persistence.
#23 I have 3 beautiful, healthy (for the most part), active ,sweet, funny and smart boys that I love more than anything. But I still think about how fun a girl would be.
#24 I am grateful for wonderful family, friends, neighbors, husband, kids and everyone else who has blessed my life.
#25 Laughing is the best medicine. It always works for me.

So there it is. After I finished this list I thought of more unusual things about myself. It wasn't hard, really. LOL.

so glad to hear that i'm not the only one who sets the alarm fully knowing that i'll be hitting snooze for (at least) the first hour of it.
