25 Random Things

I got tagged on Facebook to create a list of 25 Random things, facts, habits, or goals about myself. It’s great fun to read other people’s lists, and while you are reading their lists, you can think of a hundred things about yourself…until you try to write your own list. Anyway, I thought it was kinda fun, so decided to cross-post it here. Enjoy!

1. Today I am laundering baby clothes for the first time.
2. For the past month, I have spent just about the majority of every day on the couch with a laptop and remote at my side, and with a dog and cat on my lap under a blanket. It sucks being 7-8 months pregnant and having no energy.
3. I really really really miss all our friends in North Carolina.
4. We have no friends in Michigan (that are really close enough to do things with).
5. I think I would go insane without our TiVo.
6. I am aghast at the monthly gas bills here ($307 this month). That is insane, when you add the electric bill in, too. And we thought NC summers were bad!
7. I love my Slanket.
8. We have lived here almost three months and there is still unpacking to do. The basement is scary full of junk.
9. BUT WE HAVE A BASEMENT!!
10. Prenatal vitamins have done NOTHING for my nails. My nails are pathetic.
11. Wooly Mammoth Crocs are the shit.
12. I think our local Krispy Kreme should have a Twitter feed for when their donuts are Hot & Fresh so I know when to go.
13. I love grocery shopping! You should see our freezer and pantry!
14. I really don’t want to have this baby early, but DAMN I want to be rid of the acid reflux, heartburn, and neverending peeing.
15. I thought I would love having wood floors, but turns out I don’t. They’re noisy and cold. At least in this house.
16. I want fries.
17. I am watching Bob & Tom Radio on WGN on the TiVo as I compile this list.
18. I am trying to decide what shows to cut out of my viewing schedule, as I know that having a newborn will not be conducive to watching the same amount of TV as I do now. Damn kids. 😛
19. I would KILL to go on a style show like Tim Gunn’s Guide to Style. I need a new style, a new wardrobe, a new haircut…and not the first clue how to go about it myself.
20. I can’t wait until the day when we can have our dream house, in our dream location, with great friends, a basket of Bostons [Boston Terriers], and maybe one or two more kids.
21. I watch “Jon & Kate Plus 8” because I figure if they can handle EIGHT kids, I can surely handle ONE.
22. I really should be taking more pregnant pictures of me because, although I hate how I look now, I am sure I will want pictures of me later.
23. I am not doing well on my everything-I-thought-I-would-get-done-while-I-wasn’t-working-before-the-baby-arrived to do list.
24. Skip the Pet-i-Cure. It was great for the three or four times we used it until it died. That was $50 down the toilet.
25. I am watching American Idol for the first time in years.
