25 Things - My Transition to Bloghood




I considered posting this exercise on my facebook page , but then thought that it would be a great introduction to my new blog. Now that we are so internet savvy, peeking into peoples lives seems to be perfectly normal. Here is a peek into mine.

"list 25 random bits of information about yourself"

1. I am currently in love with pink glass – particularly all pink Mosser glass products

2. Even though I am pretty realistic, I worry about being perfect, not being perfect, striving to be perfect, and even worry about what will happen if I give up on trying to be perfect.

3. I am organized, but my room is most always a mess.

4. I interrupt people when they are talking – its how I show I’m listening, but I’m pretty sure it must be annoying … I can’t stop myself.

5. I really miss singing with groups of people, especially around a campfire; something I Haven't done for years.

6. I wish that I could play ski-ball all of the time. I get addicted to simple games easily. My favorite is Rampart. You should never take me to a casino.

7. I am getting married. I am amazed. I am happy. I am excited to start a life of adventure with Chris, but I am afraid that I am either going to pass out or cry through the whole thing.

8. Chris and I are moving to Wright - Patterson Air Force Base in Ohio come July ... and I still don't know military time.

9. When I put my hand over my heart it means that I am feeling something powerful - a habit I developed when my grandpa passed away. Its all I can do to control my emotions.

10. I LOVE working with children of all ages.

11. I have never lived with a dog who didn't pee on everything. This is why I do not prefer dogs.

12. Much to my dismay, I have rekindled my love for potato chips. I blame the variety deli in NYC who slipped bags of lays in with my sandwiches.

13. I don't know what I am being prepared for, but I feel that my surroundings are always challenging me to be a stronger person.

14. Sometimes I think I should be a life-coach so I could make a living off of my advice ... and sometimes I fell like I need my own life-coach ... and then I wonder if that would make me a scam.

15. I really don't like to buy anything unless i've touched it.

16. Chris proposed with candlelight, pizza, and a diamond - I proposed with a cherry ring pop

17. I think pickles and Oreo's make a delicious snack when paired together.

18. I visited my grandpa's grave more before he passed away than after. We used to go feed the ducks at the cemetery and play on the MONKS headstone.

19. I love mail. Especially hand written letters.

20. I get woozy in hospitals, even if I am just visiting.

21. I didn't have a room with four walls of my own until I was in fifth grade. Before then I shared a bed with my sister and three dogs. (In third grade moved onto the landing that had 3 walls). All the while I had my own room at my grandparents house a few blocks away.

22. I don't think I know anyone who I haven't bragged to about being a seventh generation Texan. I am very proud of my family.

23. The first CD I owned was The Wizard of Oz Soundtrack, but today you probably couldn't get me to sit through the whole film.

24. I miss NYC terribly. I often find myself daydreaming about ordinary days walking around the city. I know I will never live there again, but I also don't know how I am going to live without it.

25. I've been trying to start a blog for years. It's like a glorious new journal; you never wanna spoil the pages by writing in it.
