Just the Four of Us + Oscar: March 2008

Me! MEMEMEME! I know that a lot of you must think that I have fallen off of the face of the earth. But, no, I am still here and still kicking! I have had a crazy month. Friends, family, spring break, NCAA march madnesss.... take your pick. So, I have neglected my blogging duties. For that, I am truly sorry. But, onto the me part. I saw this on Tanja's blog. I will tell you 100 things about me. Whew... Here goes.

100. I love photoshop. I am a photographer, and boy, does it help.
99. I am really good at photoshop. I know that program like the back of my hand.
98. I hate trying to build a website. I am not wired for it. At all.
97. I like Barack Obama. Go ahead, judge me.
96. I was in the Air force. It seems like a lifetime ago.
95. I love soccer.
94. I love Tennessee.
93. My mom is an amazing cook. She is amazing in general. I am so lucky that I have her for a mom. She makes the best biscuits in the world.
92. My dad knows everything. He can fix anything. He has an amazing heart. One of the most non-judgemental and supportive people I know.
91. I am determined. And Stubborn.
90. I had a wild streak. A big one. Back in my college days.
89. I dated one my college professors. Yep, I was that girl. Oh well, life went on.
88. I have been married for 10 years. Crazy. Seems like and lifetime but also seems like only yesterday.
87. It is crazy to think that kids that were in Kindergarden when I got married are now sophmores in high school.

85. HOlly came and saw me a few months ago. That is a great friend.
84. I can name all of my friends on one hand.
83. I don't trust people very much. Gotta work on that one.
82. I have an unnatural obsession with shoes. So does my friend Jacqueline. We feed off of that with one another.
81. My son is incredibly smart. Not the type of smart where they say, "Mommy, the sun is round. Isn't that great!" The type of smart where he says, "Mommy, the reason that you are burning up is because when the sun shines through the window of the car, it is refracted throughout the car but doesn't escape. If you are so hot, turn the A/C on." Yep, shuts me up often.
80. My daugher has gorgeous hair. Not from me. From her aunts, on Ali's side.
79. I have an insane ipod list. From Gangsta Rap, 80's hair bands, Grateful Dead, Harry Conick Jr., Al Martino, to Casting Crowns.
78. When I was in high school I thought I was disgusting. Now I am disgusted with myself for ever thinking that.
77. I worry that my daughter will think that she is disgusting when she is in high school. I never want her to feel that way.
76. My son is emotional. I love that he has a sensitive side, but I hate to hear him cry.
75. I love my dog. It is weird. HE has his own wardrobe. I am a weird dog lady.

73. I used to live in Tucson. I hated it then. I miss it now.
72. Went to Tucson last year to see my friend Retire/Graduate. I cried when I saw my old house.
71. That house has now been knocked down for them to build new ones. I cried when I heard that.
70. When I went to the BX last year to get a drink, my drink, Arizona Asian Plum Tea, was still in the same spot in the BX. The same lady was still working there. I felt like I had stepped into an alternate universe. Weird.
69. I say the word weird way too much.
68. Too many things are weird.
67. I love to read people's blogs. Especially Tanja's. She is funny.
66. I am not a fan of reading books. It takes too much time.
65. I have read all of Barack Obama's books.
64. I love to watch movies at home. I hate to go to the theater.
63. I have to have a diet coke at the theater. Then I have to go to the bathroom. They don't rewind the movie so you can see what you missed at the theater. That annoys me.
62. I love starbucks. I love coffee. I often drink too much so it makes me jittery. Trying to switch to decaf.

51. I am a baptist. I go to spotswood. I love my church.
50. I don't like nursery duty. I know I should, but I don't.
49. I love my kids more than anything. I make them help me during nursery duty sometimes. They make it more bearable.
48. I have stretch marks that make me want to puke. But, at times, I am proud of them. Those are from my kids.
47. I had cancer. Breast cancer. Never thought that I would die. Now I think about how I could've died all the time. Weird.

27. I like to use big words.
26. Sometimes I don't use them correctly.
25. I love the beach. I love the sun. I love the way that your hair feels sticky when you are there. I also love to wash my feet off with the little showers before you go back up to your room. Not the one for feet, the shower one. And try not to get your clothes soaking wet.
24. I love West Palm Beach. I could live there forever. Most beautiful place I have ever been.

Jacqueline... I know that I have already put a post about her for her birthday... but it is absolutey fitting. She is the best friend that a girl could have. She is there through thick and then, good and bad, just amazing. I have never met someone like her. Beautiful, Eloquent, and always there when you need her. Jacqueline, I love you, I truly do. Thank you for your ears, your friendship, your support, your love, just being you. What everyone should know, is first and foremost, she is an amazing mother. She always has everyone's best interest at stake. She is a shoulder to cry on. Someone to celebrate with. Beautiful. Funny. My sounding board. Jacqueline, you know how much I have needed you, and you are there with cinnamon rolls and coffee - ready to listen. I love you. I thank God daily for you, and your non-waivering friendship. I love you....
