1. I’ve never painted a wall white, off white, egg shell, whisper, cloud or anything similar. I never plan to.
2. I’m addicted to Wint-O-Green mints by Life Savers; I could eat them all day long…and sometimes do! My husband hates this habit of mine.
3. I love Dark/Hot Pink, Red and Black: clothes, nail polish, purses, random items in my house, you name it.
4. I love to pack a suitcase. I have a huge hot pink one that I love!
5. I hated being pregnant and am totally content with my little boy being an only child.
6. Braiden has taught me more than I will ever be able to teach him. But I’m going to try to outdo him.
7. Brian & I named him Braiden by merging the letters of our first names together. We went for something different – and then noticed later how many little boys were named Braiden/Braden/Braydon!
8. Yes, I know what I did with all my time before I had a baby: I watched TV – full episodes each week with the sound at a reasonable decibel; I snuggled with Brian on the couch; I went shopping and tried on clothes; I bought makeup from Dillards; I bought shoes for no reason at all; I slathered on lotion when I got out of my 20-minute-long shower; I shaved my legs more than once a week (or more); I bought candles and burned them in every room; …and I would stare at people in restaurants with screaming kids and swear that mine would never do that…um, yeah right.
9. I love to plan parties. I love the invitations, the decorations, the food and all the list making that goes along with it!
10. I struggle immensely with my religion. That’s not something I’m proud of, but something I’m very aware of, and I am continually making my way to a better place. Posers impel doubts at an alarming rate - 1 day on / 6 days off is not something I can support. I believe in God…I just can’t wrap my mind entirely around man’s interpretation of “correct”.
11. I want every closet and cabinet and pantry in my house to look just like the ones in the elfa catalog from The Container Store. Bed Bath & Beyond and The Container Store are two of my favorite stores on Earth!
12. I’m addicted to Clorox Wipes. I have to buy them at Sam’s.
13. There aren’t many things better than a good, strong Sonic Coke!
14. I’ve never, ever had a beer. Ever.
15. I never was one of the lucky ones to own a Swatch Watch, but I used to beg for one relentlessly. I now own 2 Timebandits and I think I’m uber cool!!!
16. I would’ve loved to have been an elementary school teacher.
17. Although there are a lot of people I’ve enjoyed reconnecting with, and many friends that I truly miss, I didn’t like high school all that much, and if our families didn’t live in Warren, I’d probably never go back.
18. I could move every 2-3 years and be very happy.
19. I still don’t know what I want to be when I grow up. I do, however, know that it’s not a career in real estate or banking.
20. I don’t like Country Music…my husband is in a band; the band’s name is Sweet Southern…can you guess what they play? Yep.
21. I’m allergic to mosquitoes, and I live in Arkansas.
22. I took my Driver’s Test when I was 5 months away from turning 17. My dad bought me a car because he thought it would encourage me. Turns out, I’m very persuadable.
23. I love the beach. I plan to live there one day, even if only once a year, a week at a time.
24. I find solace in bubble wrap.
25. I wish someday to write a novel. A runaway success that will put a genuine smile on a stranger’s face.

I'm with you on alot of this. I too struggle with the religion thing even though it surprised me to hear it from you. I didn't like being pregnant either. I wouldn't trade either of my kids for anything but I could have done with out the pregnancy and would have stopped with one if Brad hadn't wanted one of his on. I miss my Sonic coke like it's nobody's buisness. They don't have coke zero!! LOL
Fun list! I too, hate being pregnant and reminded again every day of the things I hate about it! :) I also LOVE to plan parties, there isn't anything more fun than that! :)
