I keep thinking about my previous list of Random Things, and reading other people’s lists, and I wanted to have another go at it.
- Back in the day, I was sure I was going to write the next great American novel someday. I guess I still have time, but it seems much more of a pipe dream at this point in my life.
- Sometimes I think I want four or five kids, because I love having large family gatherings—and it’s what I’m used to. But I’m not sure I want to be pregnant that many times!
- I knew the night I met my husband that we would get married. It was love at first sight.
- Someday I will live in my dream house—a ranch with enough space for everything, a great party kitchen with professional appliances, and a hot tub. There’s more, but that’s the gist.
- We’ve been on two cruises and I love them. LOVE THEM LOVE THEM LOVE THEM! I would go on a cruise every other month if I could afford it.
- I would love to live by family for the rest of my life, but I just don’t think we can live in the cold anymore.
- I hope that I can be a good parent. Everyone assures me I will be, but I just don’t feel it yet.
- I could eat an entire box of Krispy Kreme Original donuts if given the opportunity. Especially if they were Hot & Fresh.
- My favorite salad is mixed greens with Craisins, toasted pecans, feta cheese, and Amish Dressing (a sweet mustard dressing).
- Sometimes I want to sell everything and just start over.
- I am a PC person (we have three), but would be willing to give a Mac a try if they weren’t so damn expensive.
- I’ve always wanted to see Jimmy Buffet in concert and he’s coming here in August. I’m keeping my fingers crossed!
- I really want to travel around the world—one of my top places is Fiji, where we initially wanted to go for our honeymoon but never quite made it.
- I love music from the 50s and 60s. I guess it’s from growing up listening to it via my parents!
- I have never had a broken bone.
- I have been to the emergency room four times that I can remember: 1) when I jammed scissors into my hand when I was about seven or eight, 2) when I fell off my bike in high school, 3) when I sliced the tip of my finger off in college when working at Glen’s, and 4) when I fell down the stairs last year and twisted both my ankles.
- I love organization—storage containers/bins/baskets, shelving, labellers… Maybe because I’m a packrat as well?
- I hate my legs so rarely wear skirts or dresses unless they are ankle length. I hate shorts, too, but had to wear them in North Carolina to survive the summers.
- I miss reading. I couldn’t even tell you the last “real” book I read (real meaning NOT baby-related help books).
- I cannot believe our thermostat is set at 60 for a Michigan winter—and our heating bill is still $300.
- I just figured out that my numerology life path number is 5, which “suggests that you entered this plane with a highly progressive mindset, with the attitude and skills to make the world a better place.” Interesting.
- Someday I hope to have a job I truly enjoy. I can’t even imagine what that would be like. Heaven, maybe?
- I know I complain too much and am trying to get better about that. Or at least tell the same amount of “good” stories so people don’t think my life is ALL bad.
- I love love love my car, a 2001 Toyota Highlander purchased brand new a week before we got married. I would buy the same exact car in an instant, but the new Highlanders are NOT the same.
- I have a personalized license plate that says TRAVCTY. It was strange living in NC and having people know what it meant!
