My Facebook List

There's this fun little thingy going around with my Facebook friends. (Told you it was a problem.)

You have to come up with a list of 25 "random" things about yourself and then "tag" more friends to do the same.

I thought (silly me) that it would be easy. "Random" is my middle name. But, the list was more challenging than it seemed at first. I wanted to give people "new" things, or things they may not have known about moi.

It took me so long that I couldn't let all that hard work go to waste.

Well, I really thought, "Hey! Free blog post idea!" But, I think a few of my friends actually already did that. Darn. Oh well.

Please don't let the following information scare any of you away. I'm also sorry if it's dull and boring and a "repeat" of knowledge you may already have. I try.

25 Random Things About Me:
1. I am deathly afraid of snakes. Can't even look at them in books or on TV. Frogs and lizards are ok... as long as they're small.

2. I am addicted to "American Idol."

3. In my mind, County General Hospital (ER... Thursday nights at 10:00 on NBC) is a real place. Don't tell me it's not. And, don't remind me that this is the last season.

4. In college, I was an Art Major before I was an Education Major.

5. If I could go back to school, I'd study Photography.

6. I HATE exercising. But, I do it (occasionally) because I am not getting any younger, and I dream of being skinny again one day.

7. I have lived in South Carolina, Alabama, California, and North Carolina.

8. I have driven across the USA twice. And, I do not recommend it. It ain't fun.

9. I go nuts after riding in the car more than a few hours. (See #8)

10. I really didn't PLAN on having just one kid... it just worked out that way for us.

11. Adoption is a frequent topic of conversation for our family.

12. I am CONSTANTLY amazed at how God is evident in everything that happens. Everything!

13. I am learning to accept that life is full of the unknown. I HATE the unknown.

14. I want to be a "Turtle Lady" when I am old. Well, oldER. (They live on the beach and help rescue and protect the sea turtles.)

15. I like anything with polka dots.

16. I think that being a chaplain's wife is easier than being a preacher's wife. They are very similar, but one is easier than the other.

17. Army deployments are not as horrible as I thought they would be. Hard, but not impossible... thanks to Jesus!

18. Science and medicine fascinate me.

19. I have a tattoo. (Shocked?)

20. I want another one. (I'm shocked. I SWORE that one would be enough once I felt that pain.)

21. I am a HUGE "Harry Potter" fan. I've read all the books, and now I'm re-reading them with my son. I read the last one in less than a day. (I'm a VERY fast reader.)

22. We (me and Dan) have had the same best friends (the Wrenns) for almost 15 years. We still talk to them and see them whenever we can... which is never enough.

23. I wanted to be a vet or a marine biologist when I was little... never a teacher. Go figure.

24. I could eat Mexican food 7 days a week.

25. I love, love, love, love the ocean.

Happy Wednesday.
