Right..so I got sent a 'tag' which was 25 things about my mate, and the idea is that you then respond with 25 random things about yourself---so I thought it'd be interesting if we all did this here on the family blog--we could learn a lot about each other!
1. I like to eat cold pizza for breakfast
2. I met my husband on the internet----This no longer embarasses me, would a bar have been better? We got to really know each other---our thoughts, dreams, feelings before we started having sex. Most people skip the getting to know one another and jump right into bed. I like that we knew who we were before that.
3. I'm going to school to be a nurse because I like gross things--pus, blood, intestines---i want to poke it and see what it does.
4. I make cakes for weddings, birthdays, anniversaries etc. and i'm pretty good at it.
5. I'm a voracious reader, once I start a book I'll do nothing else until it's done---so I can only allow myself to read when i've got nothing else going on.(like no exams).
6. I was born in Schenectady (try and say that when you're 4).
7. I have a small birthmark on my bum.
8. I'm a terrible procrastinator (i too sometimes wash a load of clothes 5 times before they get hung out---this is NZ fault...I'd much rather use the dryer and then the clothes would get done straight away).
9. I believe that in imperfections you find humanity. I like it when you can see that something isn't perfect..then youknow it was made by a person, not a machine.
10. Since having children i've learned that i dislike messes and loud noises and that i'm not very patient.
11. Since having children i've learned i can adore two little ragamuffins endlessly and that children are beautiful when they're sleeping.
12. I LOVE to go to the movies--finally nathan and I are going a bit more often again. (babysitting swapping with a mate is great!)...When I was a kid my mom used to slip me money sometimes and let me go see a movie--i've always liked to go even by myself.
13. I have heaps of hair...I could remove 2 inches of scalp through the middle, stich it closed and still have a full head of hair (but why would i? eww lol)
14. I still pray every night even though i'm a little confused by it all at the moment.
15. I'm becoming my mother....she and my grandmother were masters at using guilt--i'm catching myself doing the same (God help my kids)....and I yell more than i'd like. I used to think mom was a nutter--but now i know us kids made her crazy.
16. I collect those little Willow Tree figurines that look like they're carved from wood--but have no facial features--there's something about no faces that i adore.
17. I have very wide feet. In fact...I think they look a bit like Fred Flintstone's. My dad visited last year..and I definitely got them from him--my mother had gorgeous, thin, small feet...but I got her brains, so if i'm stuck with big old caveman feet..i guess i got the better end of the deal.
18. I can taste lamb when it's used as a mystery meat in things like hot dogs and luncheon (bologna)--it's not pleasant---although Nathan says he can't taste it.
19. I like all those vegetable everyone hates. Bring on the brussel sprouts, kale, zucchini, green beans etc. There's almost no veggie I wouldn't eat--even beats now (wouldn't touch them when i was a kid).
20. I've fallen in love with Blue Cheese. YUM. This is a very recent addiction. I wouldn't touch the stuff for the past 35 years..but suddenly..I can't walk by the cheese isle without looking for it.
21. Although we're not rich...I have everything I want/need in my life. Except a puppy --but slowly i'm breaking Nathan down...its VERY slow...like melting an iceburg..but i'm working on it.
22. I'm a bit forgetfully. It's not that i've got alzheimers, it's that I'm already thinking about the next thing I want to say or need to do...and then I forget what it was that I'm currently doing. I need to learn to live in the 'now'!
23. I'm starting to like technology. Nathan gave me an MP3 player for Christmas...couple of years ago and i'd have wondered what the heck i was going to do with that.
24. My favourite show is House. There's something very sexy about a Brit putting on an American accent. Hugh Lawrie.....mmmmm.
25. I'm shy on the outside...but once you get to know me you can't shut me up. And I think i'm very funny, I crack myself up better than anyone.
There...now lets hear 25 random things about all of you!!!

I am Random that's all I'll say......
Sandy, can I have some of your hair? I too have very wide feet, I hate blue cheese (actually I've never tasted it because the thought of it grosses me out) but your Mom loved it, ERERYONE yells at their kids (even Heavenly Father - He smites them!)I wanted to go into medicine too but life got in the way. I've had plenty of opportunities to "play" at it unfortunately!
Love,
Aunt Debbie
come on uncle jim..you can do better than that! lol
Ok Sandy, I'll be writing my list. I like the idea. Do you eat Marmite too? Or is it Veggimite?
well we used to eat vegemite (my family NOT me)...but now it's over $6 a jar...so we've switched to marmite..which is cheaper. Nathan says it's got a completely different taste to vegemite..but i think they both taste like salty boogers...so I can't tell the difference.
Salty boogers - now that's a great way to describe that jar of black goo. I tried it once - that was enough for me.
awesome idea. I'm working on mine. check your e-mail or call me if you can. I love you Sandy.
