31 things you don't know about me.

It's my birthday.

February 5th is my birthday.  Always has been.

And I was thinking as a special birthday present from me to you

I would let you in on 31 things you don't know about me.

Ya know.  Because I'm 31.

So.  Here we go.

1.  I love my kids in the most obsessive, overzealous, drives everyone else around me crazy, way.
2.  I do not like change.  It gives me a belly ache.
3.  I don't not like to fly.. Maybe ill count all of the things I do not like as one. I do not like seafood, flying, mushrooms, flying, any sort of fighting/boxing on the tv, flying, burn out t's, flying, mean waitresses, flying,  or people with chronically negative attitudes.  Or flying.
4. My favorite movie is The Gladiator.  Or Titanic.  Or Lord of the Rings. Or The Justin Beiber Movie.
5 Me and Tate have hung out with Taylor Swift on her tour bus!  DID YOU HEAR ME!!!? It was rad.
6. If we are watching a movie at home, there is a 100% chance that I will fall asleep.
7. I ALWAYS put my shopping cart back in the cart holder.  Sometimes with my wallet still in the baby seat thingy.
8. I forget my wallet/purse EV RY WHERE!.
9. My husband won't let me have a debit card to his account.  See above.
10. My mom is my best friend.  I cannot imagine life without her.
11.  I yell too much.
12.  I'm always a few steps off when it comes to fashion.  It's just not my thing.  Try as I may.
13. My eye lashes are like, 1 centimeter long.  If that.
14. My nose holes are DIFFERENT SIZES!!  It's so weird.
15. I lived in a trailer (TRAILER!!)  (mobile home) until the 6th grade.  And I totally loved it.
16. I almost always get front row parking spaces.
17. I never answer my phone.  Or call people back.  It's one of my best qualities.  Ask anyone.
18. I am not the biggest fan of newborn babies, apparently the feeling is mutual.  3 months is when we really start to love each other.  And both quit crying all day every day.
19. I still have my tonsils.
20. I just found out last year that sea horses are real things
21. I firmly believe that the best predictor of future behavior is past behavior.
22. I watch Dr. Phil... And  I miss Oprah with all of my heart.
23. I am a maniac about germs, and dangerous situations.  Including crossing at a crosswalk with a red hand.  It has to be a green guy in order to get me into that intersection.  It just has to be.   It's a little irritating to those I love.  I believe that laws and rules are there for a reason.  So I obey pretty much all of them.  Sad huh.
24.  I have watched 3 TV series from start to finish.  Friends, Dawson's Creek and Greys.
oh.  And Bachelor, Bachelorette, Bachelor Pad.  I wish I could find re runs of The Real Housewife series.  Those crazy bittys make my day.
25.  In my head I still think im like 26ish.
26.  I believe that a birthday is not a birthday without at least 3 celebrations
27.  A TV camera following my daily encounters my friends and family would be way better than anything every captured on MTV.  On any given day you could get a fix of  RHW, Big Brother, Survivor, Jersey Shore, and Teen Mom all rolled into one.  Seriously.  Maybe that's why I never answer my phone.
28.  I very genuinely like to help people in any way that I can.
29.  I am sure that I am going to end up on the people of wal mart website.  Let me know if you see  me!
30. Once, in Costa Rica....
Over a river of scary Crocodiles.
After a terrifying (and awesome!!) day of waterfall repelling.
And then a long hike.
While fighting a fierce bout of Montezuma revenge.
Ryan proposed to me on a vveeerrryyyy long & vveeerrryyyy old suspension bridge. (no OSHA!!)
Needless to say, I nearly ruined the moment.   But.  It was one of thee most unforgettable, best moments of my life.  I L-O-V-E my husband.
31.  At least one time throughout the day, i send a little silent prayer up to God.  I pause and think to my self how surprised I am that I really love life.  I have always been a happy, positive person.  However, I never anticipated that my life would be anything more than average.  Isn't that weird?  I have always been happy with average. Expected average.  So the fact that my life is so enjoyable, and fulfilling is something that I have a constant silent appreciation for.  I have had a great 31 years.  Every year has been a learning experience in one way or another. Every year has had trials, and triumphs.
It actually doesn't bother me to be another year older.  Life has only gotten better, and I look forward to each new day, new week, new month, and new year.  My 32nd year wont be perfect, but it will be great.    That is what I now expect as my new average because I know that it is mine to create.

We create our own destiny.  And I firmly believe that.  As if Dr Phil, or Oprah told me it was true.

HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MEEE!!
