posting

I don't write very often only because I feel that I am redundant to Marc's posts and that I really have nothing interesting to say. But I LOVE Marc's idea of the 100 things you may not know about me. I even love the email that people send to everyone where you have to erase their answers and put yours in. So, honestly, I am going to copy him. I think I will do a shorter list over a period of time, since I really doubt that I can come up with 100 facts about myself, let alone good ones!
In other news, I am still winning the rock-paper-scissors war. I have stayed ahead for a while now. Our ultrasound is to be scheduled for the end of this month.

Lola is getting so big, but I realize that is what they do. She loves horses! Amy, from across the street, takes her occasionally to local stables and she gets to help muck them. She uses very long, complete sentences. She asks about 20 questions an hour. Who's that? Where'd Paige go? What's Daisy chewing on?

We picked out new carpet yesterday. Yippee!! I can't wait. So what if I won't let anyone walk on it, eat near it, or even touch it? It was a good compromise between Marc and I, and we love the idea of the upgrade to our home.  If you've seen our carpet, it is definitely an upgrade.

One other thing of interest to me has been the moon risings lately. They have been so beautiful. I actually had the camera with me one night, but I couldn't get a picture. Plus, a picture would not have done it justice. I feel they were absolutely breathtaking.

Thanks for the ears...or eyes, I guess. Here is the beginning of my list:

1. Born and raised (until I was in 6th grade) in Sioux Falls, South Dakota.

2. The two toes next to my big toe are grown partly together.

3. I have 4 tattoos.

4. I had my tongue pierced at one time and now have my nose pierced.

5. Marc speaks French, my mom speaks French , Paige majored in French, and I know VERY few words/phrases.

6. I love to travel - the most fun was with Marc before and after we got married! I'm even a fan of the day trips.

7. I have two half brothers and a half sister - Todd, Tracy, and Terry. I also have a very large extended family on my mom's side - she is the youngest of 13.

8. I regret and still have a hard time with the fact that I missed Grandma Claire's funeral. I did have a dream after that she called and said she was okay. I even answered the phone in her house in my dream.

9. I HATE getting out of bed in the morning - except when leaving to travel, garage sale, and special occasions.

10. I've never broken a bone, but had stitches twice.

11. I didn't like the Office at first, and now think it is one of the best shows on.

12. I have lots of favorite movies.

13. I believe that I have past lives.

14. I don't like OJ because I got sick after drinking it once. It could be related to the drinking the night before and the fact that I chugged it because I was sooooo thirsty. That was over ten years ago.

15. I HATE Wheel of Fortune.

16. I wear my disposable contacts ALOT longer than I am supposed to.

17. I knew all the state capitals when I was two. I think I would be above 70% if I tried right now.

18. I never took an ACT or SAT test. I signed up twice. Once, I had no ID and the other I ran out of gas on the way there.

19. I could replace spark plugs and the fan belt in my '66 VW Bug.

20. I would love to have a very short haircut, but am too afraid to do it. I chopped it once and Marc said I looked like Elise Keaton from Family Ties.
