More things about me

Perhaps this will appear as a "wall of text" to most people but I found that the last "25 random things about me" post was rather therapeutic to me. I found myself thinking of more random things I wish I had added so I have decided to fill out a brand new one.
Here we go:

1. I cut Catelyn's hair myself. This past one was the hardest for me and I am leaning towards her getting it professionally done next time.
2. I really don't like to be ignored. I would much rather be rejected than have people not respond.
3. I follow a lot of blogs of people I know (and some I don't) but rarely comment. I just went and counted all of the ones on my reader account and it's over 75!
4. I once had a friend in college dub me "Senora Muchas Smoochas"
5. I am very proud of my children and tell them so often
6. I applied to 5 colleges and got scholarships to all but the one I chose to go to. BYU
7. My older kids are playing the Wii in the other room and I'm on the computer. I really need to kick this bad habit.
8. At least the baby is in bed and I can hear Cooper and Catelyn giggling uncontrollably. No one is screaming yet.
9. I'm ready for a night out.
10. I just ate a gluten free wafer cookie and the aftertaste is like I ate perfume...
11. I love earrings. I could possibly have close to 100 pairs.
12. I like buckles on my shoes.
13. I wish I didn't have to tweeze my eyebrows. It's a constant chore.
14. I had fun in high school. I think it's pretty safe to say I was friends with just about everyone.
15. I am a VERY bad organizer and planner. Luckily I'm living with my mom again. She created my handicap, she can be my crutch.
16. I'm going to take a break now and put the kids to bed.
17. I believe these are the last days and I'm living my life accordingly.
18. I don't like to by tickled but all 3 of my kids are like their dad and LOVE to be lightly tickled. Lydia calls it "aGuh" She pulls her thumb out of her mouth and says "aGuh, aGuh!"
19. I really like cheesecake.
20. I foresee some serious and troubled times ahead for our country. Seriously troubled.
21. I miss kissing. Lately I've been getting my fix by watching the Bachelor o.O
22. I used to be a gamer. I played WoW every day.
23. It seems that I have an addiction problem. First it was Myspace, then World of Warcraft, now Facebook.
24. I don't like fruit in my chocolate. Separate they are great.
25. I started going to therapy 9 months ago when my world imploded, and it helped me get to the other side of this trial. One last session is all I have left.

80's Rollerskating Party (again)

Our Ward is awesome. We have a semi-annual 80's Rollerskating party (adults only) that is just a blast. I posted about the last one I went to back in Sept. Here are some highlights.

Jody and I. Of course I am talking in the only picture of me at the party...

Heather, Jen and Liz

Brad, Tiffany and Jeremy. Note the purple in Jeremy's hair.

Some pretty hot ladies.

Nice Prom dresses ladies!

25 Random things about me

I filled this out on Facebook (my new addiction) and thought I should probably share it here as well.
1. I am not shy
2. I would rather sing in front of people than give a prepared speech
3. I'm not a good speller and Spell Check is my friend.
4. I went to 8 Proms in High School
5. I played the French Horn in High School and College but was never very good because I didn't really practice.
6. I love people and want to help others
7. I have been to 4 foreign countries on World Harmony Tours with the choir I was in in High School
8. While on one of those trips, I went off with a boy I had met in Stockholm without telling anyone where I was going. Probably one of the stupidest things I've ever done. Luckily nothing bad happened.
9. I have never drank alcohol or smoked anything.
10. I have 3 children but have never gone into labor by myself. All 3 were induced.
11. I was in Northern California Honor Band and Choir twice and All State Choir once
12. I have not sat down to watch a televised sporting event since I have been separated from my husband. May of last year.
13. I would love to get a dog for my kids someday.
14. I am a positive, easy going person
15. I shaved the bottom of my hair in 8th grade.
16. I pretty much only watch reality TV. But I only watch it if it is recorded and I can skip commercials.
17. I love Flight of the Conchords and wish I had HBO for that reason.
18. I enjoy reading. Everything from Jane Austen to Isaac Asimov.
19. I just recently started getting in shape after letting things take their course for 10 years.
20. I was home schooled for 4 years and was able to skip the awkward middle school years.
21. I am so grateful for my Savior and Redeemer, Jesus Christ. I couldn't have survived this past year without Him.
22. There are a lot of private things I could put on here that would shock and concern everyone who reads this, but I'm not going to share those publicly.
23. I have an amazing family whom I thank God every day for.
24. I burp a lot.
25. Despite the unexpected and challenging circumstances I find myself in, I love my life and am thankful for all of my blessings.

After having thought of 25 things about me, I find that there are more things I want to add. I think I will start a new list.
