last ten, horray!

So these are the final last 10 facts of the 100 random facts I was sharing about myself. I am sure many of you learned plenty more than you wanted to about me. haha. Thanks for sticking it through with me!

91. I hardly ever wear earrings. I prefer my ears gauged. I have gauged them twice up to size 2. The first time after about a year, I purchased plugs that were labeled wrong and it resulted in my ears to rip a bleed. I took them out and my ears healed up fine, even went back down to normal earring size. Then I did it again and everything was fine. I had them gauged for another year then got bored with it. I plan to do it again really soon. I even want to get Chloe those fake gauge earrings for her since hers are pierced. I would love to see the look on my mom's face!


92. Turtlenecks make me anxious. I can't handle wearing them because I feel like my shirt is trying to strangle me. When I see them on others, I start to get uncomfortable and sweat. It's a problem I need to work on. It just really really freaks me out.


93. Its hard for me to sleep when it's light out, no matter how tired I am. I am sure that will change once Emery gets here, but for now it's pretty impossible. I can lay there and rest for an hour or two but I can't fully get to sleep.


94. I love to knit. I am not the best at it and I definitely need more practice. I can't read a pattern for the life of me, but I really like the action of it. I actually prefer the outcome stitching of crocheting better, but the action of knitting is more fun for me. I learned how to do it through you tube, the best hands on teacher ever.


95. I love chest piece tattoos, but not sure if I will ever get one. I am worried about what it will look like when I am 50. That area is so delicate and it can get wrinkly and then the tattoo will look like a mess and you probably won't be able to tell what it is. Then I will be foreced to wear turtle necks... NOOOOOOO!


96. I would really love to learn photography an do it as a full time job. I would love to be able to capture people's special moments in life and experience that with them and make memories last a life time for them. I feel that James would be better at it then me, but it is fun just to take our camera out and play around with it. Sometime down the road I will take classes and learn to do some cool stuff with it.

97. I like Taylor Swift's music a lot. It is something I listen to only by myself because James can't stand her. But when I am home alone I put her on and Chloe and I dance around the house. I like to put her cd's on and clean and do random chores. In fact, I am listening to her right now. I like that she is a positive role model on kids these days as well. I know alot of people don't like her and that's cool too, just don't bash me because I do. I can't stand that.

98. I don't like to swim in deep water. It makes me feel uncomfortable to know that I can't touch the bottom without my head being submerged. What if something happens, what if I get a leg cramp? I also feel like it leaves opportunity for someone or something to come up under me and get me... i know, I am just paranoid.

99. I love cheesecake. love love love it. One of the best foods ever made. not much more to say about that.

100. I am really glad that I started blogging. I may not be great at it and lack ideas to blog about or time to even do it, but what makes it worth it is that I have met some amazing blog friends that I feel would be real friends if we only lived closer. You ladies are so great and inspirational and I love that we all can be so open and share our lives and give advice and inspiration to others!

Finally they are all done! whoo hoo. Again, if you are doing this, share the link so I can learn more about you too!

80 through 90...

Thank goodness only 20 more to go! I would love for you all to do something like this so I can get to now you. Make sure you send me a link if you do!

81. My dream vacation would be for James and I to backpack through Europe. For like 2 years. I would love to stay in hostels and get odd jobs here and there to make money to go to the next city. I would love to live with the people and experience their culture and country. I like doing touristy stuff, but it's completely different when you actually live in it and immerse yourself like a local. We are totally planning this when the girls are away at college.


82. My uncle and I have the same mole pattern in the exact same place. It is 3 small moles in a diagonal line on our left cheekbone. It's really weird, because I know it's not supposed to be a hereditary thing.


83. I'm a carbs lover. I love breads and pastas like no other. When we go out to eat I love bread baskets before dinner, which I usually accidentally fill up on and I usually get some sort of pasta to eat. I know it's not the best for me, but I really don't care. It taste so delicious.

84. I love he comedian Jim Gaffigan. He cracks me up so much! I love that he doesn't have to cuss or crack down on stereo types to be funny. I am not saying that none of his jokes are about that, but most of his stuff is all about food, and since I love food, I can relate to it! James and I quote his stuff on a regular basis. I would LOVE to see him live!

85. I am a master of hamburger helper. I have been eating that boxed goodness since I was a little girl. In fact that is the 1 item you will ALWAYS find in our pantry. It's easy, relatively quick and doesn't require very many ingredients. So perfect... and as I said before I love pasta...

86. I love woodland animals and woodland themes (as if you already didn't know). I know it's an obsession, but it works. Its such a versatile theme. I am making it cutesy for the nursery, manly for my hubby and whimsical for me. It goes along with all sorts of color themes and I don't think the woods will ever go out of style.

87. I love love love little girl dresses with peter pan collars. Now that chloe actually has a neck (i miss those ridiculously huge chubby cheeks) the dresses look adorable on her and are much more comfortable for her.They are adorable and have vintage flair. Both my girls will definitely be rocking them.

88. I wanted glasses so badly in high school. I thought my sisters were so lucky because they got to have them and some of my friends had them. I even bought fake cute ones at Claire's and wore them on occasions just because I loved it. Now that I actually NEED to wear them, it bugs me and I don't wear them even though I should.

89. It's hard for me to listen to music and not bob my head or "chair dance". I even lip sync to the songs. I do this all the time at work, on a place or in a public place. I am sure I look really silly, but that's ok.

90. I can't stand onions. They are my arch nemesis. I can't stand the texture whether they are fresh and crispy or cooked and soft. They are just gross and give me the heeby jeebies. Although, I love onion flavored stuff, like funyons.

trying to finish these up...

I totally forgot all about the 100 random facts about me... I'm sharing 10 at a time. here is 10 more. btw, It's really hard to come up with 100 random facts about yourself....

61. I love Taco Bell. It's funny, I used to hate it, with a passion, but now that is one of the things I want to eat all the time. James has always loved it so now that I do too he is very happy about that.  Could be a pregnancy thing, I don't know.  I hope not for James' sake. I know it's not REAL Mexican food, and we have plenty of that around here too, but since I have been pregnant I always choose Taco Bell over real taco shops. At least I know that when we move they might not have good Mexican food, but they do have Taco Bell!


62. I always have to have nail polish on my toes. Doesn't matter if it is chipping as long as I know some color is there. It's really weird. I feel naked with out it. I have felt like this ever since I was in High School. I used to change my polish all the time to match my outfits too... ya, that was when I didn't have a full time job or a family, and I can't believe I ever had the time to do that. My nails on my hands are a different story. I hardly ever have polish on them. I can't stand when the polish on my hands are chipped and I definitely don't have the time to keep up with that!


63. I curl my hair every. single. day. I curl it with a straightener too! My hair is naturally stick straight and I can't stand it on me. Mainly because I have this thing about my big ears popping out from my hair. I also love loose waves, they are romantic, fun and girly! I am actually debating on getting a body perm or whatever its called. I am sure it would save me so much time!


64. Speaking of perms, I had a perm when I was 14. I wanted one so bad because my mom has always permed her hair for as long as I can remember. I don't have any pictures of this, but I promise you I looked like a poodle. And I remember the chemicals smelled like cat pee and I couldn't stand it!


65. I don't care for Chinese food. All I like is orange chicken (sometimes) and fried rice. And this is not a pregnancy thing. I have never really cared for it. I feel bad because James loves it and he would eat it everyday if he could. Of course, I veto that very very often. But I guess it's like how James hates Italian food, so I guess we're even.


66. I've been on one mission trip out of the country. My old church partnered with Amore Ministries in Mexico. We went out there and built houses for the very poor. It was an awesome experience that I would love to do again. I can't wait until the kids are old enough to take on mission trips!


67. My dream was to join Peace Corps. Then I met James and couldn't bare to part from him. Funny thing is I told James when we were dating not to get too attached to me because I was joining the peace corps and going to leave. Looks like God had other plans for me. We could always join together when we are older and the kids have moved out.


68. I can't play guitar because of my pinkies. I tried having James teach me, but my pinky is too crooked and I can't reach the 6th string. I am going to try a 4 strong bass instead. haha.


69. Up until this past Christmas I had the same cell phone number for 10 years.  To me, that is a pretty good accomplishment. It was pretty hard getting used to a new number. And I am one of those people who regularly goes through my phone and deletes numbers of those I don't really talk to anymore, just easier for me to navigate when trying to find someone... Now those people who never throw out numbers that I have met in the past 10 years will never be able to get a hold of me again... oh no! Bummer thing is that whoever had my new number before me is on multiple telemarketing list and I have get around 1-2 a day! It's so annoying!


70. I've been to Maui 3 times in my life. I have stayed in the same little town all three times and loved it. I went there first on a family vacation. Second when I graduated college and some friends of mine lived there and 3rd on our honeymoon. It is such a great place to vacation too. Family friendly but can be very romantic! If you ever get the chance to go, make sure you take the road to Hana. Breathtaking views and hidden exclusive waterfalls and hiking trails!
