100 Things...

you may not know about me. (My cute friend and neighbor tagged me weeks ago and I am just getting around to this.) I tag whoever has the desire to share. (That means you Beth and Jen! :) )

1. I am the worlds biggest procrastinator.
2. I wish I only had one church calling.
3. I am a packrat.
4. I wish that I wasn't. I have tried fixing the problem but it never seems to hold.
5. My favorite time of year is Spring.
6. I used to hope that I would only have girls. I am so happy that I didn't.
7. I really like to garden. Except for all of those pesky weeds.
8. I am not very patient with my kids.
9. I think I let my kids watch too much television.
10. I love living in Idaho.
11. I miss going to school.
12. Someday I will finish school and take the CPA exam.
13. I like to watch my kids play in the snow.
14. I always wanted to be the CEO of a major company and have a big corner office with a view. Then I met my hubby! Now I am the CEO of my family, and I have a whole house not just a corner office.
15. I like to cook.
16. I love trying to new recipes and then changing them to my liking. Recipes are more like guides to lead you in the right direction.
17. I make my kids make their beds.
18. I don't make my own bed. (I know I am not a very good example.)
19. I hate doing laundry.
20. I would rather scrub toilets than do dishes.
21. I really like breakfast food. (I could eat eggs and bacon every day!)
22. I dated my parent's boss. (Their current school principal is my age.)
23. I don't usually get a shower until 2 or so in the afternoon. I have to wait until nap time so that the kids don't destroy the house.
24. I really like cute earrings but can't wear most of them because I have really sensitive ears.
25. I love to read! I will sit for hours and let the whole day pass me by without even batting an eye. Most of the time I don't even realize how long I have been reading for.
26. I love Cadbury Creme Eggs. They are my current eating pitfall. My "diet" would be going so much better if it wasn't Easter time.
27. I have really sensitive skin and can't wear very many perfumes. I wish I could. Most perfumes also bother my asthma.
28. I have gone into anaphylactic shock before. Apparently it wasn't pretty. (I was purple.)
29. I am completely blind in my right eye. I still baffle doctors. It happened the summer between my Jr. and Sr. years in HS.
30. I loathe vanilla scented candles.
31. Actually I loathe anything with a fake vanilla scent.
32. My favorite candles are cinnamon scented or something similar.
33. I have a red wall in my LR/Kitchen. I love it.
34. I have all the paint for the walls upstairs and have not gotten around to painting. Something about having three kids.
35. Somtimes I wish that we lived closer to our families.
36. Most times I am grateful that we don't. (Does that make me a bad person?)
37. I love my SIL's, we were meant to be family!
38. I like to scrapbook but haven't done it in awhile. Every time I sit down to scrapbook Ila wants to scrapbook too. We always end up working on her book instead of mine.
39. I taught myself to sew. I really like it. I really like seeing a project come together.
40. I love my sewing mahine.
41. I like to crosstitch.
42. The last book I read was "Eclipse" by Stephanie Meyer.
43. I wish I was better about reading my scriptures.
44. When I was working my desk was always super organized. Now, somedays I wonder if there is really a desk under all the stuff on it.
45. I do water aerobics twice a week.
46. I am not a morning person. Luckily none of my kids are either.
47. I hate being late.
48. I wish that I did more crafty things with my kids. I always have the best intentions and then we never have the time.

50. I like to share what I bake.
51. I buy my kids lots of books. I don't read them to them as often as I should.
52. I am excited about making my girls Easter dresses.
53. I really like my neighbors, actually my whole neighborhood.
54. I wish we lived closer to a park.
55. I am a Mary Kay consultant.

59. I really like biking.
60. I finally finished the blanket that I was supposed to make my hubby for Christmas. :)

64. I wish I was a better journaler.
65. I love to write letters but, I almost always forget to mail them.

67. I love to sing even though I am not as good as I would like to be.
68. I love to eat fresh fruits and veggies.
69. I was a band geek and played the clarinet. I also learned to play the sax so I could be in the jazz band. My freshman year in high school I had 3 music classes. Band, Chior, and Jazz Band.
70. Once upon a time, I dated four guys at the same time. All of them knew it and they were all jealous of each other.
71. I wish I was more compassionate.
72. I have never had an alcoholic beverage, or smoked. Bleck!
73. When I am pregnant I can't handle raw meat. It makes my stomach turn.
74. I have a very sensitive nose. My husband always tells me I am imagining the things I smell.
75. This is a lot harder than I thought it would be.
76. I love it when my house is clean. I only wish it was clean more often.
77. I want to learn to quilt.
78. I have tons of unfinished craft projects. I swore I was never going to be like that. Ha!

80. I helped choreagraph a community theater production of "Seven Brides for Seven Brothers"
81. I like to play games.
82. I love the color green.
83. My wedding flowers were purple pansies. Pansies make me smile.
84. I have never mowed the lawn. I am allergic to grass. One allergy I am very grateful for.
85. I enjoyed being the subsitute chior director for our ward. It was a little stressful since no one would come to chior practice. In the end I just asked people to sing with us as they came into Sacrament Meeting. I even convinced the Young Men to sing with us.
86. I went to Vienna, Austria while I was a Sophomore in HS.
87. I like Sudoku.
88. I always read the Ensign while I am taking a bath.
89. I don't like seafood, or fish of any kind.
90. I am the best of friends with my sister. We didn't become that way until I was pregnant with Jayce. I truly believe that she saved me from PPD.
91. I don't really have a favorite soda. I was a Pepsiholic for a long time and now I can't stand the stuff. If forced to choose I would say rootbeer or sprite, sometimes Dr. Pepper, it really depends on the day.
