I'm working on 100 things about me, but I'm coming up short. So feel free to help me fill in the last oh 40 or so things....please!!!!
1. I hate cold weather. Although I have been missing it just a little this year. Luckily though we've had enough days that were 60 degrees or cooler that i haven't missed it that much. I think I've missed the change of the seasons more than the cooler weather.
2. I love Chocolate. Hot chocolate, melted chocolate, chocolate pie, chocolate cake, do I need to go on. I feel like Bubba from "Forrest Gump". Chocolate fondue, chocolate covered pretzels, dark chocolate, white chocolate...
3. My favorite scripture is the 23rd Psalms. It comforts me no matter what I'm going through, whether good or bad, it applies to life.
4. My favorite musical/vocal performer is Bette Midler. She's the greatest and although I love to watch her perform and love to hear her sing, I don't think I would ever want to meet her. I have this image of her and I want to keep it that way.
5. I was a chorus geek in high school. Enough said. I do miss singing though. which leads to number 6...
6. I would love to be a member of a Praise and Worship band. Performing solo terrifies me, but to be with other people on stage is okay.
7. "Phantom of the Opera" is my favorite musical. But you really have to see it performed live to appreciate it.
8. I always wanted 3 boys. And while I only have 2 sons, I still have 3 boys: Andrew, Aaron, and their dad, Richard.
9. My second and third toes on each foot are webbed, or connected. A friend from high school always called me "webby".
10. You would think that with "webbed" feet I would be an excellent swimmer, but I'm not. Anyway, God made me special and He loves me very much!
11. I love all of God's creatures but my Favorite is the Cat. Any kind of cat, except the hairless. Those I don't care about so much.
12. My favorite sport is basketball and my favorite team is of course, the North Carolina Tarheels!!
13. I love to cook, not so much baking, but cooking I love. I like trying new recipes and experimenting with new flavors. I never really had time to grow this passion of mine. But now that I'm a stay at home mom I have more time to cook for my family.
14. I love scrapbooking, but Lack the place to do it. I've discovered to be really efficient at it and get caught up on all the years I'm behind, one would benefit from leaving the supplies and scrapbooking stuff set up all the time. But I'm limited on space. Maybe someday I'll be blessed with an extra room in the house so that i have the luxury of leaving my stuff out all the time. Then maybe I'll get caught up.
15. My Favorite place to visit and vacation is Key West. Not because it's Jimmy Buffett's favorite place, but because it's so romantic, and laid back. There are truly no worries in Key West.
16. I'm a Parrothead!!! and proud of it. I love Jimmy!!! what else is there to say...except i'm still looking for my lost shaker of salt!
17. I also love the beach. To me, it's probably one of the most spectacular of God's creations. I feel very close to Him when I'm there. I could sit for hours and just marvel at God's creation.
18. I'm not a reader. As a matter of fact, i used to hate to read. To help me with reading assignments such as "The Grapes of Wrath"my mom would read the books aloud while recording them so that all i had to do was to listen while i was in my room or in the car. Thanks again for that, Mom. But the older i get, the more i like to read. I love anything by Nicholas Sparks. I always cry when i read his books.
19. I collect Santa's. Mostly ornaments. On day I hope to have a Christmas tree with nothing but Santa on it. Last time i counted i had over 90 Santa ornaments. Wow!
20. I like to watch movies. Love stories, and thrillers.
21. My favorite color has always been green, but now i like to mix it up and add a little blue and yellow to the mix.
22. I hate having to think of 100 random things about myself.
23. This summer i will have been married for 15 years. 15! can you believe it.
24. My favorite TV show is Criminal Minds, but i watch it in the summer when they're showing it as repeats. MY favorite used to be CSI, but not so much anymore. I also became some what addicted to HBO"s True Blood. Is anyone else out there missing it? I can't wait till this summer to see what happens next.
25. Even though my favorite place to be is the beach or Key West, I do love the mountains, especially the ones in western NC. That is my home, you know. I love the changing of the leaves and the beauty there is to see. If only it didn't get so cold after the leaves change.
26. I love the rain, a warm summer rain. I love to listen to it.
27. I love thunderstorms too. As long as they are in the distance and especially at night. I love to watch the lightning and listen to the thunder as I'm drifting off to sleep.

36. I hate spiders. Hate, hate, hate them. The only good spider is a dead spider.
