25 Things (from my facebook)

1. I love to bake-too much because I shouldn't eat so much junk, so I am always looking for an excuse to bake something and then give it away!

2. I was a social worker back before kids and worked in Child Protection. I have been out on drug busts with the police, taken kids from those homes, visited jail, been sworn at and called names...lots of fun!

3. I used to play the violin-for 6.5 years-and I still don't really regret quitting.

4. I was made to live in San Diego because I hate snow and love 75 degree weather.

5. In high school I was the sports editor for our school newspaper. I thought at that time that I wanted to go into journalism.

6. I took 6 years of German. I can probably vaguely understand a conversation now but I can't really speak it-not that I ever could really since I have never even been to Germany.

7. In High School and for my first year of college I really didn't study hardly at all. It was like a lightbulb went on during my sophomore year of college when I realized that when a professor assigned a chapter he wanted us to READ it!

8. Back in my younger years I had a memory that could remember anything (hence the reason I could manage to get through school without studying and still get all A's) but now I find that my memory forgets the simplest things. Too much going on in there!

9. I LOVE Chinese food. The spicier the better.

10. I miss having cookie dough egg roll parties, LOST parties and other great get togethers with my Madison friends.

11. I LOVE being around people (which is funny because I was deathly shy as a child).

12. I genuinely love serving others. Love to make pizza for families who have a new baby, love to help people with their websites, etc.

13. I hate dogs.

14. OK, I basically hate all animals. Except maybe potato bugs.

15. Ever since I had Dallen I am a sucker for chocolate chip cookies. I never really liked them all that muc before I had him, but somehow, giving birth to him triggered my inner cookie cravings.

16. I have way too many hobbies and not enough time for them. I love to work on my business-it is my top hobbie. But I also love to read, make bracelets, bake, stamp, sew, etc. I want to try my hand at photography and gardening sometime too.

17. I love birthdays, even my own.

18. I love, love, love having three boys and I am exhausted by it as well.

19. I realize that I have probably married the best guy out there. (Sorry girls.) The things this man does for me, and for my kids...just such a great guy!

20. I was always considered by my teachers to be a really good writer and I would love to use those skills for something like writing a book but I am completely lacking the creativity to think of a story.

21. I am usually surprised by the endings of books. I can almost never figure out what is going to happen until the last page (hence the reason I can't write one of my own).

22. Even though my mom spent years trying to teach me to sew, I didn't really learn until college when I taught myself on a machine that barely worked.

23. I sew on the floor.

24. My favorite things to do with my kids are read stories, snuggle in bed in the morning, and bake cookies.

25. I am currently obsessed with building my mom a website and it is taking up a lot of my time!

I had a blast doing this! I am going to copy and paste it to my journal and blog.
