Natalie did this and I didn't think that I could think of 101 things about myself. We all surprise ourselves sometimes!
1. When I was younger, I had a pair of earrings to match every outfit I owned. I can’t wear earrings very often now. I am allergic to all of them!
2. I have about 4 CZ rings and never wear my real wedding ring. This really upsets my husband, but gold is just not my thing anymore, ya know? It isn’t about the size of the diamond, okay, so maybe it is.
3. I got married when I was 19 in Las Vegas, and no one expected that my marriage would last more than a few weeks.
4. I have never enjoyed reading until this last year. I always felt that people were forcing me to read and I really didn’t want to.
5. I used to be a very good piano player and now I basically suck. L
6. I love to sing, but not in a solo, American Idol wanna be sort of way. Although I occasionally do that too. I think I enjoy it far more than I think that I have a true talent for it.
7. I almost lost all of my friends in college cuz I was crazy.
8. I don’t know my Dad, but I know of him and have spoken to him a couple times. He is the epitome of a sperm donor.

10. I hate the smell of old crayons.
11. I love brand new school supplies.
12. I have had 2 family members serve jail time this year (one for an extended amount of time) Yes, I am waiting for the Jerry Springer phone call.
13. I used to be a kick butt tennis player and went to state my sophomore year.
14. I have NEVER had a good body image, so gaining weight seemed like destiny to me because I have always envisioned myself to be large, until I look back and sees pictures. Wowser!
15. My Grandma used to sing “I love you and Bushel and a Peck” to me when I was a baby and I would play with her mole on her neck. I can really remember that for some reason.
16. I love to pick zits, mainly Steve’s. It consumes me until I am allowed to do it.
17. I used to be addicted to Scrabble.
18. I am very competitive when it comes to everything! Like Monica on friends. It is funny to those around me, but not to me. I am totally serious. I don’t like to lose.
19. I am very motivated not to be a loser and live off society.
20. My goal is to want what I have and not to get what I want. Still working on that, always wanting more.
21. I worry about being retired and poor.
22. I constantly worry that Steve will die young because he is such a good person. Keep tellin’ him to up the insurance! Scares the crap outta me.

25. Neither Steve nor I finished college.
26. I obsess of decorating to the point that sometimes I can’t sleep.
27. I can paint a good sized room in about 2 hours.

32. I am an only child.
33. I can get pregnant with only a look, and maybe a dirty thought.
34. I love to laugh, very therapeutic.
35. Steve and I complete each other’s sentences. We also will start singing a song out of the blue, and it will be the same one at the same time, WEIRD!
36. Although my husband is far from a “sperm donor”, He has the same name, same height, same hair color, same job, and even plays the same instrument as my sperm donor dad.
37. I grew up Methodist in Mormonville and that was VERY hard.
38. Most of my friends in High School were boys.

40. I love the smell of fabric softener.
41. I love to spend money and am not a saver.
42. My first job as an adult was as a server at Bennigan’s. I used to spill drinks on people all the time and then cry about it.
43. I hate working out, but do it anyways.
44. I am a night owl and do not like waking up.
45. I love the feeling of shaved legs on high thread count sheets. So I shave as often as possible.

47. I am 30 and have worse acne then when I was 16, which is really cruel.
48. My teeth are horrible and I fully intend on swapping for dentures in another 20 years. They are just ugly, not rotting or anything.

53. I used to be very very sensitive and would cry at the drop of a hat. I have since grown a back bone and I really am not one to mess with.
54. I love having visitors because that requires me to clean house and finish projects.
55. I go through fazes of loving to cook. When I am in the faze, I can cook up a storm. Right now, not so much!
56. Since I grew up an only child, my 3 cousins were like my siblings. None of them give a rats butt about me now, and even though I have that back bone it hurts my little feelers. They are missin’ out cuz I am a pretty cool chic!
57. I would rather spend my money on a new couch and not traveling.
58. I love my own children, but being around other peoples kids for a long period of time gives total anxiety.
59. I like to be on time and hate when people are late! My best friend is never on time, yeah, you know who you are!
60. I got my first speeding ticket when I was 29. It was the 9th time I had been pulled over for speeding…
61. I used to be an accessory junkie. I had more hair things, earrings, and shoes than there are stars. I had a huge space in my closet (which was the size of my now master bedroom) that I color coordinated everything in. My friends would make fun of me. I even wore matching underwear. I think it was because I didn’t have my own house to take it out on. Now I rarely splurge to buy a pair of earrings or a clip.
62. I used to be blinder that a bat and my glasses made my eyes look like pebbles. I had them fixed when Lasik first came out over 10 years ago. The best money ever spent, seriously!
63. I rarely leave the house without makeup.
64. I hate hate hate matte paint. It makes me think of a chalk board with my fingers scratching down it. Not pleasant.
65. At number 66 I am starting to get a little bored with myself.
66. I listen to every kind of music made. Be careful when you select “shuffle” on my IPod, you never know what you are going to hear.
67. I was Primary President after only being LDS for 4 years. I didn’t even know what primary really was. It was very frightening and I cried a lot! I am much more comfortable being in the presidency now with Jan, who is the most “together” president ever.
68. The older I get, the more I stink.?!
69. I am not a Disneyworld fan, but my husband thinks it is literally THE GREATEST PLACE ON EARTH.
70. I hate having my picture taken. Avoid it like the plague.
71. I always find pictures of cakes that I think are so cute and look so easy. I am the worst cake maker in the world!

73. I have 3 very wonderful, well behaved children. God knew that I couldn’t handle anything but superb!
74. I have major anxiety and panic attacks. But I enjoy those far more than I do the medication you take to heal them. So I just deal with it, and unfortunately, so does my family.
75. I am a dreamer and always am looking for ways to make money. Sickness, really.
76. TVholic.
77. I like to type up my budget, but I never ever follow it. Looks great on paper though.
78. Boys used to love me in high school for about 10 minutes until they met my cuter, skinnier, and funnier 2 best friends.
79. Boys that liked me for more than 10 minutes became very boring to me and I lost interest. Except for Steve who I think liked me for 10 minutes and then hated me for the next 10, so that worked out well.
80. I used to have a wide variety of push up bra’s until I got fat and my boobs got big.

83. I used to love Days of our Lives, which I find beyond stupid now.
84. I procrastinate like no other.
85. I was in just about every lesson there was growing up, so I know how to do many things, but none very well.
86. I am scared of my kids becoming teenager’s cuz if they put Steve and me through ½ of what we did to our parents; we are in for a ride!
87. I am very loyal and pretty dang forgiving. Don’t hold grudges much.
88. Crazy people are attracted to me. Bi-polars especially. I have a gift for that.
89. I was pregnant 3 times in 4 years.
90. I have no pain tolerance at all and want plastic surgery (just a li’l nip and tuck), which my husband would support financially if someone would come take care of me and he didn’t have to hear me whine.
91. Swearing makes me feel good, but Steve hates it and has almost made me leave the house for saying Ass.
92. I love naps, especially on Sunday.
93. Love going to movies.
94. Used to hate chocolate until I ate it enough and acquired a taste, what was I thinking?
95. I have moved 14 times in 11 years, but I am still stable.
96. I grew up with a stigma that I would turn out depressed, crazy, and some sort of an addict, which I am none of the above. (unless you include diet coke/shopping addict)
97. I want to find a way to fork out the money for faux finishing school.
98. Even though I spend all of Steve’s money, I feel that he may not appreciate me for all that I save him!
99. When I am 50, I want to have the picture of me and Steve and our 8 kids, but I don’t want to birth or raise them.
100. Are we to 100?
101. I really can’t believe that I had that much to say about myself. Surprising, you should try it.
Master Bath (shown above). Gotta love that beauty of a border! That came down today, thanks to Steph. That had to be better than picking a really huge zit...
The furniture in this room is the only type of antique that I can live with. They are beautiful, seriously. I painted this room last week in Restrained Gold from Sherwin Williams. It was a perfect match to the bedding. I also found some great accessories at Hobby Lobby. It is ending up to look Fab, take a peak next week and I will update pics.
The Gameroom. Wow, this is going to be a challenge. Blah to the mirrors, thats all I have to say. I wish I could pull them out and throw them through the window, if they would only fit. But she wants 'em. Instead I have planned to add drapery to them (the mirrors) and do some great Roman Shades in place of those beauts you see in the window. Furniture will be moved around. She is also buying new couches, but I didn't get to pick them. :( Shucks! But a new rug is coming and a great new happy color. Should be Savvy!
