100 Things about ME (trina)

So Shannon did this on her blog- So I thought I'd give it a shot :o)

1. I will always have time for elderly people
2. and Children
3. Being a mother has been the highlight of my life
4. Marrying my husband, Jamie... has been the reward of my life.
5. Cell phones annoy me.. I also hate it when someone sits on the toilet in a public bathroom and talks on the cell phone. I was in the stall and I thought this chick was talking to me. She said "What are you doing?" And I said.. "the same thing as you." And then it got really quiet.
6. I (not so much just me.. but a group of us) put ex-lax in a brownie once and gave it to a kid in our class. It was actually for the basketball team- but they wouldn't eat it. Finally we got this one kid to eat it. I was so worried that maybe we over dosed him that I couldn't sleep for days. Luckily he survived.
7. I almost drove through my High school doors with my friend Heathers car. Somehow I got the Gas and break mixed up.. I was inches away from breaking the glass doors! And somehow when I was backing up I Parallel parked between two trees and got stuck. I had to get someone to help me out. While teachers and students looked on...
8. I always end up spending a ridiculous amount of money when I go shopping.. and come home with completely unnecessary but totally necessary things.
9. I always have to sleep on the side of the bed farthest away from the door. You know in case burglars come in during the night.
10. I am a child of god
11. I am a Christian
12. I am afraid of needles, snakes, clowns, creepy crawlies.. birds
13. I am awesome, seriously
14. I am deeply in love with my husband
15. I am directionally challenged. I get lost easily
16. Other people get lost easily when I'm in the car- even when I'm not in charge of directions- I'm cursed.
17. I am not afraid to speak in front of large groups of people (as long as I know what I’m talking about)
18. I am very impatient. Once I decide I want something, I need to do/get it ASAP.
19. I am very very ticklish.
20. I can only have white hangers in my closet
21. I can tell when people are lying to me, I just probably wont inform you that I know... I just let it happen, kinda entertaining..
22. I can’t handle hang-overs - no matter what I do, it takes me 24 hours to feel “normal” again.
23. I can’t live without my DVR…well, I bet I could, but it would be hard
24. I cannot stand to have unpolished toe nails. In fact any woman with toe nails that do not have polish on them pretty much creeps me out. I don’t know why but ….just put some polish on them.
25. I can't handle anything grape flavor- yuck yuck yuck
26. I cry at the drop of a hat, but I'd rather cry easily than not at all.
27. I dislike stupid lawsuits. Duh coffee is hot, did you really need to sue McDonald’s for your own stupidity? Fast food does make you fat but they don’t make you eat it, or if you eat in moderation, you won’t get fat – don’t blame the food for your sorry self not getting up and getting some exercise.
28. I do silly things when I'm half sleeping- I carried my bed mattress down the steps for my mom one time when she yelled up "where are the keys" To me it sounded like... "get out of bed.. take everything off your bed.. and carry it down the steep flight of stairs" .
29. I don't collect anything
30. I don't take myself too seriously
31. or anyone else for that matter
32. I drink way too much coffee
33. I enjoy boy band music.. Laugh all you want :)

35. I enjoy watching The View
36. I gained 50lbs when I was pregnant. It's gone finally!
37. I was in Volleyball, Basketball, Dance line, Cross Country, Track in High school
38. I gave up volleyball early on because my track coach bought me running shoes so I'd go out for cross country. I took the bait
39. I'm an official member of the Caledonia butt shakers
40. I hate cleaning the bathroom
41. I hate lipstick
42. I hate March (besides the fact that it's Jamie's birthday month) I think it's nature's way of toying with us. It tricks you into thinking spring is right around the corner... that tomorrow could be warm, that you will soon be able to feel your finger and toes... and EVERY year I fall for it... Then we get hit with the coldest, nastiest weather of the season.
43. I hate Politicians talking about "moral values".. give me a break

52. I cannot sleep if my hands are exposed. They are either under my pillow, under my head, under a blanket. Doesn’t matter. They are just not out in the open all bare and vulnerable. That is creepy.

I think she might be a little big for this? What a monkey

Poor Poor Kierstin

Long time no blog

Okay.. so the laundry from last time hasn't really listened to me :( Maybe that means it's Jamies Job? Put the smack down- and get it done? :o)

I'm going to share a embarrassing story that happen to me awhile back...
Okay- Story... I was at a child care conference and a badger game was on at the same time- I didn't want to hear the score of the game... so I had my head phones on whenever there was a break. (pathetic I know)... here it goes

I just happened to have to walk up 4 flights of stairs for this class- I was still listening to my Ipod.. and Eye of tiger came on... you know the ROCKY song? I really couldn't help myself.. I made it up the first flight of stairs... then I just had to do it, no one was around- So I ran up the stairs (feeling pretty good about myself) - finally I reached the top!! I lifted my hands up and then threw in some big punch moves, I'll admit.. it felt pretty darn good- until the janitor caught me. I shouted at her because my music was so loud. I tried to explain in a very loud voice what I was doing- unfortunately she didn't speak English.

Since then- I have taken the song of my Ipod- it's just so temping to do that... don't you all agree? I think I might go do it right now- just for fun :)

Okay- I'm back.. *heavy breathing*

Anyways- life is pretty normal around here. Kierstin so funny these days. And is obsessed with saying "daddy" lately. It's absolutely beautiful... she's absolutely beautiful. We took her to see Santa on Monday night. She was NOT a happy camper!

Surprising she has been pretty good with the Christmas tree- It's still standing =) She lifts up the tree skirt and looks for the "kitty" it's so funny.

Heather and Stacey are coming tonight-be here any time now. Jamie when to meet them in the Dells- while me and Kierstin stayed here. (darn snow.. and freezing weather). She helped me put clothes away.. and played in the bathtub... without water... for about an hour. I had to drag her out of there. I'm not sure why she likes the bathroom so much? Brushing her teeth and taking a bath are like her favorite things to do!

Well they are here! yah! I'll attach pictures later.
later gators.
