* i got this idea from Ashley. I haven't blogged in a while and don't really have alot to blog about, unless you want to know how my dreams are, cause all i do these days are work and sleep :) speaking of dreams...i did have a dream the other night that denis gave me a weave. (a hair weave) in my dream he braided my hair back and sewed in new hair...weird dream...
anyway. here are 50 things about me.
1. i have an identical twin sister ( bet NO ONE knew that!)
2. my two front teeth are fake. when i was 17, i did a face plant on pavement while riding my bike. My tire got caught in my friends tire that was riding in front of me. It was so embarrassing. I was lying in the middle of the road and my friend tim ran so fast up the street to drag me out of the road before i was run over. i even went to Darin lake the next day with smashed up front teeth...how did i ever recover...
3. i got my license when i was 26.
4. i have this thing about cruise control. denis keeps in on all the time JUST IN CASE he needs it. if i am not using it, it has to be off. there was one time when denis was driving and the cruise button was on, even though it wasn't set, so i reached over and turned it off...yeah...i will never do that again.
5. i am deathly afraid of tunnels. once i grabbed the wheel of the car while denis was driving in one because i thought we were too close to the wall. i swear tunnels are death traps. that is why i will never live in pittsburg. sorry rach.
6. if i am eating vanilla ice cream, i have to have chocolate syrup OR some kind of brownie or cookie or even pie to go with it. can't have it plain by itself.
7. my mom is also a twin. a fraternal twin. Her twins name is Elsie.
8. growing up, i was more afraid of my mom than i was my dad. my dad is a big softy.
9. i came in third place in an archery competition in 6th grade. it was against my entire class...including the boys. dad was proud.
10. for a senior prank, a group of us broke into our school and night and made a mess of the senior hallway. we had to run from the police... don't know if my mom ever knew that... hehehe SORRY MOM
11. kids at school used to call our car the bible-mobile cause we went to church so often. if they could see me now!
12. i used to LOVE horror movies. couldn't get enough of them. now they physically make me sick. i will never EVER EVER again watch Event Horizon. Scariest movie i have ever seen.
13. In Mexico, while we were on our cruise, i got in the car alone with a mexican taxi driver to go to the beach. looking back...not such a smart move.
14. i love to journal. i try to do it every night. i feel like it is somehow leaving a mark on the world. like it's my legacy. when i write i think "maybe my great great grand kids will read this and learn from my mistakes and struggles" it is such a cool thing.
15. when i go up and down steps, i need to count them. always.
16. i fall alot. especially in the winter. like once a day.
17. i have a shower routine. there is a specific order i need to go in when i shower. i have tried to break myself of it, and i can't. same with drying off. i need to go in a certain order...am i sharing too much here...i kinda feel like i am over sharing.
18. i over use "..." in emails, text and even my blogs. i don't know why...
19. i am not a phone talker unless it's my mom. i don't know why. i would rather text all day long than talk on the phone.
20. i am a really fast texter...i love T9
21. i hate ironing. my husband will take his clothes out of the dryer and stuff them in his basket...it makes me nuts. i NEED to fold my clothes right out of the dryer to avoid wrinkles. And if they do get wrinkles, i will put them in the dryer for 10 minutes over getting the iron out. i loath the iron.
22. i love the snooze alarm. i will snooze for an hour if i can. my clock is set 20 minutes fast so i feel like i am getting up later, but i snooze for about 30 minutes. it is my process of waking up. denis HATES it. i have a three snooze allowance before i am kicked out of bed.
23. i think i am allergic to feathers. i used to LOVE feather pillows and down comforters, but one night at heathers, i had a feather pillow and i actually felt like i was dying. i couldn't catch my breath at all. it was so scary. denis hates when i tell people that, cause i feel like am allergic to things now that i never was before. but i hear you can DEVELOP allergies. i feel like i am. denis won't hear it. he is waiting for the day for me to tell him that i am allergic to air. i tell him i am allergic to stupid people.
24. i snort when i get laughing really hard, then i start to wheeze. i think the wheezing is due to my allergies. :)
25. i hate confrontation. i avoid it at all cost. in the words of lydia, i am a big WOOSE.
26. i have no hand-eye coordination. that's why i played soccer in high school and why i was terrible at the trumpet. you should see me try and play guitar hero... yikes.
27. i am incredibly forgetful, unless it has to with remembering a line in a movie or a song. i can remember those all day long. But ask me to remember an appointment or a meeting or that i made plans. forget it. denis said i need medicine.
28. i am a people pleaser. i will say yes to any and everything. i will double book myself and then that is no fun for anyone.
30. i am a terrible speller. thank god for spell check.
31. i used to be addicted to Nyquil. my college roommate had to hid it from me. true story.
32. when i get sick, i regress back into my childhood years. i am such a big baby.
33. i hate soup. unless it is tomato or from Max and Erma's.
34. i love to read at night. it seems to be the only way i can wind down.
35. i was really good a math in high school. it came so easy to me. now i can barely remember my times tables. so sad.
36. i am not a big reality tv fan anymore. it used to be all i watch. the only reality show i watch anymore is American Idol. this writers strike really put a downer on my tv watching.
37. i hate doing the dishes. with a passion. hate it.
38. i am not a very good cook. i made soapy rice once and i have left the cardboard on the bottom of my frozen pizza's more times that i care to admit.
39. i just took down my christmas tree...like two weeks ago. i really like christmas people! don't judge me.
40. i order the same thing all the time. i have a certain dish i eat at every restaurant. i can never order something different. if we eat someplace new, 9 times out of ten i will get chicken fingers or a burger. i never try things that are new.
41. i can't sleep with my mouth open. if my nose is stuffed, sleeping is impossible. this has really frustrated me lately. i haven't been sleeping well at all. except for last night... i took nyquil...hehehe
42. i love playing board games, but i become a different person. i am extremely competitive and i talk alot of junk. BUT no matter how bad i get, it pales in comparison to rachel...
43. i don' t really care for songs that echo. i did until my friend matt said something about it. now they kinda bother me. never let go matt. (matt is one of my blog stalkers. i have a big following! hehehehe)
44. i have been in 12 weddings (that includes heather even though she isn't married yet)
45. i wish i knew sign language.
46. i need to have my camera with me all the time. i may need to capture a moment at any given time.
47. i never knew i could love someone after seeing them just once until i met harmony. i love that girl SOOOOOOOOO much.
48. My friends are my treasures. they are more precious to me that anything.
49. they say you can pick your friends, but you are stuck with your family. i would never use the word stuck. i am blessed beyond words with the most amazing family ever. if God ever gave me the chance to go back and choose, i would chose them a thousand times over.
50. i have the greatest husband ever. he makes me laugh like no other person can. i feel so safe with him. i would also chose him a thousand times over.
you were right ashley, this wasn't as hard as i though. once i got to 25, i almost quit. i would like to see Rachel, Heather, Amy, Jaime and John fill this out too. get crackin'.

I have done this a few times on my blog so I will take a look and see if its something I can do again or not.
Where to start...
4&5: John will DIE when he reads these. I think he would actually kill me if I touched the wheel while he was driving
6. Lucky for you when we eat icecream it is almost ALWAYS with brownies...haha
17. I have a shower routine too
28. You need to stop double booking yourself because your right it is no fun for anyone, namely me.
38. Aww soapy rice, one of my first and favorite memories, and I have also been there for a few cardboard on the pizza times too
Thanks for coming for lunch today. I love you!
Sure interesting reading, that's for sure! I especially was 'interested' in the high school prank - oh my precious innocent daughter(s)??!! And I thought I was 'off the hook' with you guys! ha! Most everything else I'm not surprised about - but funny how many things we are alike! Especially the tunnel thing - I don't like them either! You never mentioned how you LOVE flying!! ha! Love you - and so look forward to the weekend!
1. you have an identical sister?! What?!
2. im going to have to look at your teeth then tomorrow…
3. …it’s cool. I will never make fun of you regarding cars..you did
take me in when i had to await my man from triple A.
4. I wasn’t aware that you could have the cruise control on and not
use it..maybe my car just doesn’t have that feature..can your car
close its wind shield wiper in the door? Yeah..didnt think so.
5. i don’t have a response to this one. Other than I hope you are
feeling better J
6. you can tell you are married to the man who gave the message at
church about how brownies should be eaten..with ice cream..and warmed up
in the microwave..yum.
7. I knew that about your mom.
8. I also knew that about your dad.
9. in archery class in highschool for me, I was so excited to hit the
target that I ran up to it and ran into an arrow..it hurt…ps..i really
didn’t know either fact 7 or 8 about your parents.
10. freaken fugitive.
11. you go to church?!
12. well in that case, im sorry we watched goosebumps the other
night…stupid slappy…what’d I tell you about changing the channel when I
am over and you want to watch something else…
13. I would do the same thing without hesitation.
14. you are leaving a legacy bigger than your journal, my friend.
15. sooo..how many steps are in your house?
16. i fall alot. especially in the winter. like once a day. AMEN sista.
Down your steps!
17. and a shower playlist…
18. i over use "..." in emails, text and even my blogs. i don't know
why... (I second that)
19. i am not a phone talker unless it's my mom. i don't know why. i
would rather text all day long than talk on the phone. Another I second
that, cept sometimes even with mi madre I aint feelin it.
20. i am a really fast texter...i love T9 ( yet again, I second
that...this must be why we are buddies)
21. I hate ironing, as well. I have this spray stuff that I spray on my
clothes then pull the wrinkles out and hang it up for awhile. Works
pretty good for me…just sayin’
22. i love the snooze alarm too. But I hate people that use it when I
am sleeping in the same room as them. I feel for Denis.
23. I don’t have a comment here either. I hope you don’t develop
anymore allergies though cause I imagine allergies aren’t that coolest
thing ever.
24. I laughed really hard at this one…the I think the wheezing is
because of my allergies line was quite witty. Well done, well done.
25. ….so is this why you never kick me out of your house….you hate
confrontation?
26. hand-eye coordination is over rated.
27. I beg to differ…you recalled my OCD last night while on
drugs…like to the t recalled it. Also you remember carrie underwood’s
audtion song..and this isn’t related but you predicted a movie ending…im
starting to feel as though I should ask for your autograph…
28. This is a lie. I ask you to do the method a lot. You always say no.
People please me already!
30. spelling really doesn’t matter, it’s all about the meaning J
31. ….deep down you think drugs are really cool…
32. I like babies. Esp. that cute one on your computer screen.
33. i hate soup. unless it is tomato or from Max and Erma's. ( I feel
like this is a half lie..don’t you like that tastefully simple stuff..
if not, you little false advertiser ;))
34. i love to read. Period. Barnes and nobles is like my home away from
home away from your house.
35. you’re wonderful..with or without your times tables J
36. …and there’s only 6 more episodes of the office..what is wrong
with the world?
37. i hate doing the dishes. with a passion. hate it. ME TOO! I told my
mom was allergic to dish soap when I was younger (hey that’s an
allergy you could develop) so for Christmas she bought me rubber gloves.
Merry Christmas to me.
38. im going to eat a whole one of those frozen pizza’s. you’ll
see.
39. i don’t judge.
40. I feel as though at least 25 of these answers I wrote. I don’t
try new things..and I always get chicken fingers. Or some kind of variety
of that.
41. I hope that you sleep well tonight!!
42. i love playing board games, but i become a different person. i am
extremely competitive and i talk alot of junk. (I’m the same
way..except I talk a lot of junk no matter what..im pretty confident in my
gaming ability..yet, I always lose…)
43. You are the awesome God…You are awesome God…You are the Great I
Am…You are the Great I am..The only Living Word…The only living
Word…
44. i don’t even know 12 people who have gotten married. You’re
kind of a big deal.
45. i wish i knew sign language. Me too! I have a VHS tape that is
supposed to teach you and one of my news year resolutions this year was to
learn it…I suck at keeping resolutions..and I don’t own a VHS
player…
46. you are kinda good at taking pictures…I guess..
47. that’s a cute baby.
48. im making my own comment. You should know that after every church
service, I avoid the temptation to go up to you and tell you that you
are just wonderful and thank you for all the time you put in at the
church and all you do there. You’re doing big things my friend. Big’ s
an understatement.
49. …even with that said, I won’t hate on you for going away this
weekend to visit your familia. I hope you have a splendid time. J
50. any guy who can play 2 keyboards at one time is cool with me.
i love this!!! the little rituals (counting, shower routine, etc).... ohhh i can identify. i love you!
Who is "my buddy"? Cuz you almost made me frickin pee my pants! And I thought I laughed hard at the actual BLOG!!
First things first, Amy's right on with 4&5. If someone touched the wheel or it's general vicinity while I was driving, I'd drop them off...right then. The passenger can touch the heat and the radio (sometimes) that's it.
And I was going to add the spelling thing for you at #51 until I saw you already had it at 30. Anyone that was paying attention already knew that after you called it DARIN Lake (how the heck does that sound out to Darien? You must not be saying it right) and WOOSE. Seriously, it's wuss, if you're going to be one you should know how to spell it, and as Lydia pointed out, you are one!
Finally...I don't do blogs like this, lately I don't do blogs at all, but thanks for asking!
ok, so darien was a mistake, BUT WOOSE was spelled that way ON PURPOSE! don't believe me ask lydia or heather. that was a purposful spelling error thank you
I think it's very cool that I pretty much knew all of those, and thanks for not naming names on the "senior prank" one...although my mom already knows about it because we stayed at MY house! And I LOL at the "laughing, snorting, and wheezing" one, i can just hear you doing it now, or I can just watch the video on your myspace comments. I will get crackin on my 50 in the next couple days. love you!
"43. i don' t really care for songs that echo. i did until my friend matt said something about it. now they kinda bother me. never let go matt. (matt is one of my blog stalkers. i have a big following! hehehehe)"
So true. So true.
Actually, what irks me more is call and response songs (ya know, guys sing a line then the girls respond).
"I will worship, (I will worship)
with all of my heart (all of my heart),
I will praise you, (I will praise you)
with all of my strength (all of my strength)", and so on.
Oh, yeah the "..." is called an ellipsis. It's way overused/misused these days. Cut it out! The correct amount is three periods, followed by a space. And, yeah, I am a nerd... a designer who's studied way too much typography.
I find soapy rice to be delicious! It's what every proper Easter meal deserves.
