51-80 THINGS...

See... It's going to take me forever. I'm at 180 posts and I'm only to 80... This might just turn into a 100 random things!

51-I really don’t like pictures of myself. It wasn’t so bad when I was younger but I have a really hard time with it now. And I delete pictures of myself off of the computer if they’re bad or I crop myself out of them!!!

52-When I was 17 I got my ears pierced a second time and got myself grounded for it. The sad part was that it was only a couple of months before my 18th birthday. My parents wouldn’t allow me to do it until then but my sister and I went anyway and did it. I was grounded until my 18th birthday.

53-Before I got my hair cut so short it would take me at least an hour to blow it dry so I never ever dried it… I have such thick hair that it would take ½ the day just to air dry it!

54-My husband loved my long hair and hates it short!

55-I have a very tender head and all of my girls take after me! Lane however has a pretty hard head.

56-My mom is wonder woman!

57-I have awesome in-laws!

58-When we first moved here the only place we could find to rent was a crappy single wide trailer… In heavy wind storms the whole thing would sway back and forth. In one of these storms the porch roof flew off and the land lord came over to “FIX” it… I went out to check it out and all that he had done was through some tires up on it! I was soooo hacked. I already felt like white trash having to live in the place and then he just enhances the heck out of it by putting tires up on it… My sister called for my birthday and said that she was going to give me a gift certificate to have my tires rotated………..on the house! When we bought our house I was sooooooooo happy!!!
59-I made my own wedding cake. I figured it was a waste of money when I could just make it myself. My mom had me make a tester the week before just to make sure I knew what I was getting into. I didn’t make the cake topper though.


60-I made my own veil, my sister’s veil and my sister-in-law’s veil.

61-I made my twins blessing outfits… I didn’t make Emma’s because I didn’t sew very well back then and I didn’t make Olivia’s because I was preoccupied with the twins…

62-My oldest and youngest look so much a like it’s CRAZY! This is Emma when she was 3...

This is Olivia almost 3...

This is Emma when she was 1 1/2.

63-I LOVE a good deal!!! Like my scrapbooking find last summer!

64-I learned how to drive in a huge 13 passenger Ford Econoline Van. In high school I was pulling out of the parking place at school and I tore off the front bumper of this kids Honda Accord next to me. A definite oh crap moment. To replace the bumper was over 500 bucks and the stinkin thing had Styrofoam in it.

65-I love ribbon. For the kids hair or scrapbooking or just anything! :)

66-I love blankets, baby, quilts and any type of blanket. Some of them are just sooo cute.

67-I love fica (spelling?) trees.

68-I love almonds, yummy.

69-I love jewelry.

70-My dad once said that he could go into the hunting and fishing section of the store and buy me some fishing lures for earring way cheaper than what I would buy them for in high school.

71-The first “official”car of my very own was a 81 Chevy Malibu! At least it was a 2 door so it wasn’t as big as it could have been. It drove like a dream though. Very smooth.

72-My second car was a 93 Chevy Cavalier “red”. Loved it.

73-I love camping.

74-My mom & dad would take us camping when we were younger and we loved running around the camp ground and playing with the other kids. As we got older we loved playing games and just hanging out and visiting. My mom was a good sport because it wasn’t her favorite thing to do, but she still did just to make us kids happy.

75-My dad used to take us out shooting. We had fun. I remember only one time where I won my brother in a contest. I also remember once shooting my dad's shotgun with him behind me and it jarring the crap out of me even with him holding it with me.

76-I used to use sarcasm a LOT. I’ve gotten better though.

77- My parents have a big shed in the back yard and I was climbing up to the top of the shelves to get something when I was younger and my knee went out and I fell to the bottom. It hurt pretty good but I didn’t break anything so that was good.

78-I love the Oven Glove. It’s so awesome. You don’t have to worry about any fingers getting burned because the hot pad isn’t centered just so. Love it! My parents got this for us for Christmas...


79-I hate cleaning the bathroom. It’s the most hated of all chores. Joe usually does the toilets for me! Which I’m so grateful for.

80- I’m baking bread right now. It’s only the 2nd time I’ve tried. I can do all types or rolls and things like that but haven’t had much luck with bread. I’m trying an Amish bread recipe. Okay I just tasted it as did the kids and Joe and we all agree it's sooooooo YUMMY!!! If you want the recipe let me know. It's soooo good. It's nice and light and not real dense...

Do I need to mess with yeast? Can a kitchen challenged person like me handle it? Then yes, I would like the recipe.

I love that your sister offered to rotate the tires on your HOUSE. LOL!

Your right Em and Olivia look like twins. How strange is that?

You made your own wedding cake? Wow, is there anything you can't do. I can just imagine how much money you saved on that.

I'm with you, I don't do bathrooms, that's Joes job. Thankfully he does them without ocmplaining!!
