Here are 100 things about me that you probably new, maybe not, and also of things I have managed to accomplish in my life that i'm proud of. I always want people to know as much about me as possible, if for nothing else, just to have a great eulogy at my funeral hopefully many many many many years down the road. HA! Many may find that morbid, but as an LDS woman, I really dont. I think its important. My husbands family is in the funeral business, so death is a matter of life around our family. I hope that someone will learn something about me, feel inspired, or just plain giggle out loud. Enjoy!
1.) When I was 3 I broke my elbow while my dad gave me a horsey ride, and almost had to have my arm amputated after many hours of circulation loss, trying to find a hospital that would take me in. Thank heavens for an adament mother!
2.) I have a social fear, and was very Agoraphobic as a teen. I outgrew the Agoraphobia, but still find it hard to relate to people, and cant bring myself to talk on the phone.
3.) I have a costume, jewelry, and shoe collection specifically for any theme parties that might get planned. I live for theme party planning!!
4.) Im a mother of 3 gorgeous children...who drive me absolutely INSANE!! Im not kidding..I used to be normal before I became a parent.
5.) I have a mound of laundry taller then my youngest child at all times in my laundry room. Laundry is pure evil.
6.) I have an obsession with Howard Hughes
7.) I have spent years doing genealogy and i LOVE IT! Its my passion and I feel very strongly about it. Ive gone back to the 1500's so far and hope to get as far back as possible.
8.)As a young 21 year old, I miscarried twins, then 9 months after that, delivered a tiny son who passed away an hour later of Trisomy 18. I lost 3 kids in less then a year...i know that was the start of a long road of depression i'm still battling to this day.
9.) I love to write! Im horrible at it..I have poor grammer, bad puncuation and spelling..but it makes me truly happy! I enjoy writing stupid comedies involving my friends as characters. I have written script stories for Kylee and her friends as well. I often times will start something and then not feel inspired to finish it. Its a bad habit i possess. I will, however, be finishing up a funny short novel called Super Group very soon...an amazing feat for me!
10.) I absolutely adore music!! Im a classic rock and 80's girl all the way! I was not blessed with any music talent, but what I due lack, I make for in musical knowledge. I will fully kick bum in any music trivia contest. I even have a trophy to prove that. HA!
11.) I was one of 20 girls in the whole US to be selected for a popular plus size photoshoot contest in California...unfortunately I had to turn it down cuz of the too risque nature or the shoot.
12.) I love to go to concerts..I went to 7 last year alone!
13.) My favorite song is Mandoline Rain by Bruce Hornsby..dont ask me why. I just feel something for it.
14.) I can draw fairly well..It used to be a passion of mine, until I became a mom and found other ways to inspire me. I dont do it anymore, which makes me sad. I just dont have the motivation I once did.
15.) I used to speak fluent German as a child when we lived overseas. I lost the ability.
16.) I LOVE the Queen Mary Ship. She is amazing! I could spend all day on her decks pondering. I dont know why, but I feel a strange connection. Its very "The Shining", I know..
17.) I love the Fall! Nothing makes me happier then looking at the changing leaves. I guess its because my favorite colors are fall colors. oranges, golds, dark purples and rich reds...gorgeous!!
18.) Ive had rheumatoid arthritis since I can remember...as a child I was able to get out of PE and couldnt walk the mall from one end to the other without tears. Im finding that as I get older, im becoming more immobile which sucks!!
19.) I love all things retro, vintage, and really funky! i dont care what it is!
20.) I deeply sympathise with Charlie Brown..and I adore the peanuts characters. Oddly enough tho, my family hasnt picked up on this over the years, so I dont have any collections or anything. They were too busy buying Kasi her Barbies and Kylee her Wizard of Oz. teehee
21.) Muscle cars make me tingle in my private places. NO JOKE! I would give anything to have a 68 Camaro or a GTO
22.) I despise the acts of hypocrissy and lying...Ive always been very straight forward and honest in my beliefs as well as my frienships, and wish that others would do me the same courtesy...unfortunately because of this, I tend to offend people a lot.

24.) Fish freak me the heck out!!!

I cant cope or houseclean in an over growth of mess...so my house is always dirty..sorry for all who visit! If i had it my way, most of the house would be at the Good Will.
27.) My happiest place to be is in california with my family at DisneyLand! I love making memories with my family. Huntington Beach where my folks live, has become my ultimate dream place to live..and my joints would thank me daily, cuz washington is so cold!! I lost that war with jason too, so i'll be living here forever...haha
28.) Im always happiest when my husband is happy with his band. He loves music as much as I, but he was blessed with an extreme amount of talent, which im all too pleased to support. I have made many sacrifices trying to keep him happy with his insturments, pa systems, taking up half my living room with stuff, etc...its worth it!
