50 things about me!

Kim tagged me for this one, I can't think of many truly "interesting" things... so I'll just write what comes to mind!

1. I love tea, but not sweetened tea.
2. I am an organization freak... I can't stand clutter.
3. I love candles.
4. I usually have to look at the keys when I type.
5. It takes me forever to get ready for bed, I don't know why but I hate it and I procrastinate so much when I'm doing it.
6. I used to model when I was little, hehe!!!!
7. I'm trying to learn to sew again.
8. I have lots of little methods of doing things... many of these little quirks have to do with the number 5 (yes, I know I have OCD).
9. I studied psychology in college and wanted to be a school psychologist.
10. I've wanted to work with children for as long as I can remember.
11. I love country music.
12. I would love to have twins, or more! :)
13. I HATE when people mix black and brown (clothing-wise).
14. In my freshman year of college, I was a redhead, brunette, and blond!
15. I am very loyal.
16. I think way too much... but then sometimes, not enough.
17. For as particular as I am, you'd think I'd have a better memory!
18. I was potty trained at 19 months.
19. To make up for the ease given to my mother by being potty trained so early, I stopped napping as soon as I turned two (I always have had to make everything even I guess, including good and bad things, sorry Mom!)!!
20. I hate snow, but I like looking at it.
21. I got a 4.0 ONCE in college... my last semester! I finally got it together.
22. I played the flute for over 7 years, but I haven't picked it up in a long time. :(
23. I also played the violin, that didn't last long.
24. I used to sing solos a lot in church, now I wouldn't sing alone for even 1 person.
25. I don't get sick a lot (hello, working with kids for 7 years) but when I do get sick it's BAD.
26. I have a lot of close friends, and I never take for granted how lucky I am to have each of them.
27. I knew I was going to marry my husband days into our relationship.
28. I love my husband and family so much more than I ever thought possible.
29. I used to love origami (nerd).
30. I love gold things... the color, not necessarily the actual metal.
31. I have to have my planner with me at all times and write down everything.
32. I love coupons and deals, and whenever I make out really well on a shopping spree I have to add up what everything actually cost and the price for everything on sale, then find out the difference.
33. I have a "bad side" that I try to avoid taking pictures on.
34. I am a list freak, sometimes if I'm making a list of things I have to do I write down things I've already done and cross them off.
35. I'm not a big napper, and I won't go to bed at might until I'm so tired that I know I'll fall right asleep.
36. I love girly things (A LOT).
37. However, I'm a tomboy at heart and love getting my hands dirty.
38. I wish I was better at photography.
39. I once tripped up the stairs in high school in front of a boy who I had a crush on (and who actually dated me after the fact!)!!
40. I also tripped in front of ALL the wedding guests at a wedding I was in recently... but it wasn't fully my fault. ;)
41. I love roadtrips.
42. I actually really like to clean!
43. I HATE making up the bed... not making it, but changing the sheets, especially with our monster bed!
44. I LOVE to dress up, probably because I never have a reason to on a day to day basis!
45. I will never forget how my poppa used to say "hi, Ashee!"
46. I used to take ballet... and I still can't help but dance if there is a big hardwood floor sprawled in front of me.
47. I used to be obsessed with Tetris.
48. I owned a Tamagotchi (well, I still do, but it died long ago).
49. I LOVE giving gifts and finding cool wrapping paper/bags.
50. I went to Barbados when I was 16 on a missions trip with my youth group and snorkeled over a shipwreck and almost drowned because of the undertoe at the beach.

Wow! A lot easier than I thought it would be! Anyone else care to play?

  1. What a great list of things!! I did a Tetris obsession stint, and I also HATE making up the bed (a king sized bed is a BUGGER to put sheets on!). Jon has to look at the keys when he types, Isaac is currently CRAZY about origami, Gracie is all about the girly stuff and Evie HATES it when anyone mixes black and brown (hee hee). See, everyone in my house has something in common with you!! :)
