30 random things

30 random things about me!

1. I am vertically challenged (thanks mom and dad for those awesome genes)

2. I don't eat blue food....nothing....no blue candy, cereal, blueberries, etc....don't judge me!

3. I am deathly afraid of going to the dentist....like have anxiety attacks for days before an appointment

4. I love boy bands, Backstreet Boys, N'Sync, Ricky Martin, 98 Degrees...yep I love them all!  These days I also really love Lady GaGa (although she might actually fit into the boy band category....jury's still out on that one!)

5.  Although it may not seem like, I am a very insecure person.  I hate the way I look and I'm constantly second-guessing the decisions I make.

6.  My greatest achievement in life is my kids.

7.  I love my family.....My parents are so supportive and go above and beyond for me and my family.  My brother makes me laugh more than anyone.  He has the biggest heart of anyone I know and has a wonderful family of his own. I also have awesome aunts and uncles who are all here in town. 

8.  Even though I am hard on him almost all the time, I have the world's greatest husband! He loves me unconditionally and is a wonderful dad!

9. I'm NOT a fan of country music.

10.  I have lots of great friends who prove to me that God puts people in your life for a reason.

11.  Boogers freak me out.

12. I have a bad gag reflex and also hate toothpaste - that combination leads to me almost puking every morning while brushing my teeth....it's gross.

13.  I worry a lot about the world we live in and how things will be as my kids grow up.

14.  I cry almost every day.

15. I have an acute sense of smell....somewhat like a dog...in fact I smell EVERYTHING before I eat it.

16.  I miss my Grandma Ann a lot.  She would have gotten a kick out of the munchkins!

17. I know every single word to "It Takes Two" by Rob Base and DJ Easy Rock...even won a few bar competitions in college because of that song :-)

18.  I hate people who drive the speed limit! My philosophy is the speed limit is just a guide.  By the way...never had a speeding ticket!  I drive my minivan like it's a sports car and I am proud of it!!!

19.  In case you didn't know....I LOVE ANDERSON COOPER!

20.  I would love to sing with a band at least one time before I die

21. Onions are by far the nastiest food on the planet.  I quite literally yak every time I get even the smallest piece of onion in my mouth. 

22.  There are certain words I just cannot stand.....moist (aahhh...my ears are burning) is the worst word EVER!

23.  I love Disney movies....but Belle is my favorite princess because she is smart and likes to read.

24.  My friend Emily proves to me that age is just a number.  I have more fun with her than anyone and thank God everyday for bringing her into my life.

25.  I really do want world peace

26.  Sometimes he drives me insane, but I feel so blessed to have a teenage son who has a good heart and is a genuinely good kid. 

27. The young people I have met in my time as a youth minister inspire me to be a better person.  I am also SO thankful to have had such awesome support from all the youth groupies parents....without them I could not do this job! (you know who you are!)

28.  I think the Geico woodchuck commercial is about the funniest thing I have ever seen! Hey you woodchucks, quit chucking my wood!

29. I've seen the musical Rent (the actual play, not the movie) at least 10 times I think.....I've even seen it twice in one day two different times! 

30.Did I mention I LOVE ANDERSON COOPER? (Still waiting for the silver fox to tweet me!)

Peace!
