Hello Friends-
I hope your Halloween was excellent ! Halloween is loved in our home and my babies had a good time....until Yoda decided he would only be happy if he could run down the street alone. Needless to say, his night and attitude changed when he realized that wasn't one of his Halloween options.
2015- Merida & Skeleton
2014- Leonardo
2013- Leonardo
2012- Dorothy ( My favorite thus far)
I couldn't find a handy photo of Baby Liv as a tootsie roll in 2011.
This week, we have a long topic....so bear with us !
30 Facts About Me-Topic 7
Here's the deal....
I'm an open book, so most/maybe all of these facts, you already know. Some of these things are obvious- and some are weird quirks. So, in no particular order:
1) Have I told you I love candy corn? If not, I love candy corn.
2) I love country music.
3)When I was in 5th grade (I think), I thought I was saved. I wanted to be saved. But I wasn't- though I went down front, was baptized, the whole nine yards. When I was 12, at Greenhill Baptist Church, I was saved for real.
4) I've been married for 9+ years.
5) I have two fabulous kiddos.
6) Without my contacts, I ain't seeing a whole lot.
7) Back in the day when I wore glasses instead of contacts...and when I had plenty of eyelashes to go around, they were so long that I would trim them with scissors so that they wouldn't swipe the lenses on my glasses and make my eyes water up.
I really want those back.
8) Speaking of eyelashes, I squish the few eyelashes I possess together with tweezers. It's part of my morning routine.
9) I love turquoise. It should be a neutral.
See...Even Chris Stapleton knows a touch of turquoise is necessary.
10) I never had my hair cut short or colored until a few months into the first year of my marriage...while Martinez was deployed. And then about two weeks after that, I read an article about how military spouses shouldn't make big changes to themselves and the home when the spouse left so that upon return home, it would make adjustment easier.
Of course, in true form, I had it cut really short and my dark, brown hair highlighted very, very blonde.
11) There was a period of time in my life (a few years ago), when I constantly forgot to zip my pants. It happened everywhere too. I can recall in detail carrying Liv (she was maybe a year old) in Wal-Mart and wondering why people were staring. I later learned that my pants were unzipped and my shirt was hiked up under Liv's leg.
12) When I eat candy bars, I normally peel all the chocolate off the outside with my teeth - then work my way to the middle.
It gets kinda messy.
13) Going camping would be a form of torture to me. Count me out.
14) I worry every day about whether or not my kids are happy.
15) On Friday nights, I MUST have clean sheets on the bed, all furniture in our bedroom dusted, floor vacuumed and the bathroom thoroughly cleaned. It's like the entire weekend might be ruined if this isn't done. I would prefer this be done in the entire house on Friday - but our bedroom is a requirement.
16) I need all the beds made in the house before we leave. Coming home to an unmade bed creates a sense of chaos for me.
17) I must have sour cream in our refrigerator at all times, even if I'm not planning to use it soon.
18) I'm a porch sittin' kinda gal.
19) Large amounts of bread creates quite a bit of flatulence for me, so my bread eating has lessened significantly.
You're glad I told you that aren't ya?
20) I hate to be late.
21) Red cinnamon (big red, hot tamale's, etc) peels the lining of my mouth out. My favorite toothpaste years ago was the crest cinnamon kind- and when my gums started to bleed, I gave it up. I will say that I've been able to sneak my favorite big red gum back into my life in small increments!
22) 1 or 2 speakers in my car are blown out. Martinez says it's from having my music too loud, but I'm sure it's from something else.
23) Sometimes, I make myself wear jeans that are way too tight as punishment for snackin' a little too much.
24) I'm the worst person ever with technology. I still listen to cd's in my car because I just can't quite get the iTunes or whatever it is people are using these days. I also know that when Martinez tries to explain it that I'm probably not going to retain the information- so I don't really bother him about it.
25) I'm grateful that my parents never really enabled my brother and I and taught us to work hard. It's been important in all aspects of my life.
26) I'm a home body.
27) I'll choose a long necklace over a short necklace most days.
28) I love makeup !
29) I want to vacation in Montana where there are probably lots of nothing, horses, sunshine and cowboys.
30) Some of you will not want to be my friend after this, and that's ok.
I don't buy cottage cheese often, but when I do, I get really excited when there is a large curd in my spoonful. I like to squeeze it between my teeth.
I will also add that I don't buy the large curd cottage cheese. It rhymes with turd and that is not lost on me.
Have you recovered from that grossness?
The DeShazo and I thought it would be fun to list 30 facts about the other in honor of a 9 year friendship we've been blessed with. Let's see what we come up with...
I'm not really sure what was happening in this picture. But we needed an updated photo....and we've had a terrible work week- so any silliness is allowed to get laughs.

If you feel so inclined, please say a prayer for some sweet friends of ours who lost their precious baby girl this week. They are a strong Christian family with a long road ahead and lifting them up would sure help.

You know how we talked about not going too deep? I feel that this one was right on the edge. All the feels! I still wonder about the location of that original photo taken at Ted's.... There that ruined the mushy feelings.
ReplyDeleteOh, and half marathons. Don't go committing me to a full. I see what you did there.
