List 20 random facts about yourself

1 - I was raised a Jehovah's Witness, but always had problems with the teachings.  Now that I'm an adult, I still find myself torn by what I was taught as a child, and what my heart tells me is true.  I guess it's a journey, and I will see where it truly leads.

2 - I was often made fun of in school, and while it hurts to hear those things, in the end it's made me realize that it doesn't matter what that type of people think.  It's how you feel about yourself that really matters.

3 - I HATE confrontation, so much so that I often find myself trying to figure out a way to say something where nobody will get upset.

4 - I was SKINNY in school, for as long as I can remember, weighing 95 lbs from the time i was 16ish until i was pregnant with my first daughter.

5 - Now that i'm a normal, healthy weight though, i find myself longing for that skinny me again.

6 - I have very few true friends.  You know, the kind you can tell everything?  Yeah, i can name them on one hand.

7 - I am a lover, not a fighter, but I will fight tooth and nail for what I believe in.

8 - I long to live a fit and healthy life, but I find I lack the motivation to get off the couch and put down the bag of chocolate, lol. 

9 - I am TERRIFIED of snakes out where I can touch them, but I can go to the zoo and take up close pictures of them when they are behind glass

10 - As I get older, I find more and more that I have the same attention span of my daughters, without the wonder and joy they seem to find in the smallest things.

11 - I love my new camera, but wish i could find a camera that could capture what i see when i look through the lens

12 - Sappy movies or tv shows make me cry, without fail, every single time i watch them.  Even if i've seen it a hundred times, i will still break down and cry.

13 - I long for adventure.  To visit new places and try new things.  But I always seem to make excuses when we actually have the money to go on one. 

14 - I find a walk in nature to be the most relaxing kind of day.  If we could go for a hike every morning, i'd be one happy mama.  But i haven't been on a hike since before Ivy was born.

15 - I wish all of my friends (the true ones) were close enough that when i needed to cry i could climb in the car and be there in less than 30 mins.  But my friends are all over the country, and all i have is a regular old car

16 - I often find myself wanting to call friends or family, but somehow always feel like i'm imposing on their time, so instead i write about how much i miss them.  Weird isn't it?

17 - I used to struggle to eat, finding even the simple small meals to be a challenge.  Now, i can sometimes eat more than my husband does. (not that it's a bad thing)

18 - From the time school starts, i wish for summer vacation.  But as soon as summer vacation starts, i long for the structure that school offers. 

19 - I love to buy things for other people, even if they don't need it, but find that buying necessities for myself is a serious challenge

20 - and last but not least, i love the way i look, but sometimes wish i had green or blue eyes, and a different color hair (without having to dye it - I can't stand the roots showing, and don't have time or money to keep up with it)



I am thankful for my friends and family.  Even though I am different, and sometimes difficult, they love me no matter what.  And whenever I need them, they'd do anything they can to help me.  I just hope they know how much i love them, and how much i am thankful for them. :)
