Day 1- recent picture of you and 15 interesting facts about yourself

Most recent one I have... New Years Eve :)

15!!!  I'm not sure I have 15 interesting ANYTHING about myself... I'll do my best.  Forgive me if they aren't interesting!!


1.  I have a lotion fetish... LOVE LOTION.  Have to have it and have to have it ALL the time BUT there are only certain kinds I like and will use.  Banana Boat After Sun Lotion is my all time favorite and I can't live without it.  :)  I throw some others in here and there but always have to have my Banana Boat as my "main" go-to lotion ;)


2.  I am a "Homeless Prevention Specialist"...  Not as "awwww" inspiring as it sounds I promise.  But very glad I can help when I can.


3.  I wake up with a sore throat almost everyday of my life and have since I can remember.  Now I don't even really notice unless it's more sore that usual :)


4.  I have a child who is high functioning autistic... I was complimented by a person once who specializes in autism for having done everything "right" especially for going as long as I did without even knowing.  I'm VERY blessed to have this experience in my life.  It's taught me a LOT about patients and teaching.  Now it's like second nature.


5.  I can pinch with my toes like they are fingers.  :)


6. I have a VERY WEAK gag reflex.  I will dry heave thinking about things that gross me out!!  Some of the people who know this about me will deliberately say or do things that I think are disgusting just to see me dry heave and then laugh.  SOOO RUDE!!!  But, yes.  Funny!!  ...Weston seems to have the same problem.  Poor kid.  He's in for a lifetime of torture too!!


7.  My life has a LOT of  "Soap Opera" moments in it.  LOL 


8.  I LOVE hanging out with my kids...  YES!!!  I actually do!!!  Of course I have the rare moments that I would love to have them out of my hair, but for the most part they are AMAZING creatures and make me laugh all the time.  We are a VERY sarcastic bunch and we at least  find ourselves very amusing...  I also LOVE my Lover and LOVE hanging out with him too!!  I have never gone a morning without him telling me he loves me and without a goodbye kiss.  :):) Then I sit around and miss him alllllll day long.  Really I do :(  He's the best and sooooo good to the kids.  He also loves them to pieces and they in turn love him back ...We all love watching NetFlix!  Now one of the questions the kids have every week is "What movie are we watching tonight???"  We have a great time just being with each other.  I love that!


9.  I'm afraid of the wind :(  I literally get anxiety and sometimes panic when the wind starts blowing hard!!!  The instant that I think is behind this weirdness is, when I was between 1-3 years old (Yes I know that is young!!  But I have a very VIVID memory of this and I know it happened when we lived in Iowa ...We moved to Utah when I was 4 and we moved to Utah from South Dakota, and to South Dakota from Iowa.  So therefore this HAD to have happened when I was TINY!!!  ...Like I said it's VERY vivid.).  So, we lived in Iowa.  I remember my mom trying to get everyone situated in the basement.  She told me to go upstairs and tell my sisters to come downstairs.  I walked upstairs and my sisters were standing in front of a sliding glass door, or a big window (I think it was a sliding glass door).  I told them that Mom said they needed to go downstairs ...Now they had been watching out the window for something and as I was telling them their facial expressions changed from searching to excitement and they started jumping up and down and screaming "IT'S HERE!!! IT'S HERE!!!" and then turned towards me and RAN down the stairs.  The next thing I remember was being in my brother Cory's room and my mom trying to find a station on the radio with broadcasting.  There was nothing but static.  I remember looking out of Cory's bedroom window at how dark it was outside and almost a greenish color.  Which may explain why I thought that the Incredible Hulk was going to come save us all and we would be alright :)  ...Really that's all I can remember.  But when I think about it I get the same panicky feeling that I do when the wind blows.  SOOOOOO there it is!!  OH and I have REALLY strange dreams when the wind blows too :)  lol


10.  Justin cooks dinner every single night for the family!!!  Unless of course (on RARE occasions) we decided to go out (Honestly we'd rather eat his cooking).  And it's yummy, can I have seconds and make myself sick from being so full, kind of cooking.

11.  My Aunt Donna calls me randomly to tell me she loves me and is thinking about me.  She did this last night and that's why I'm writing about it ;)  ...Besides.  How many people can say that they have an Aunt Donna who does that for them???  I LOVE HER!!!  :)

12.  We are going to be moving, probably in March to Cobble Hollow Drive... Formerly known as North Myton Bench.  LOL.  I prefer Cobble Hollow Drive ;) and it has the most amazing view!  Can't wait to have everyone come visit :):)  ...Well ALMOST everyone ;)


13.  When I organize things (papers, books, CD's, etc.)  I have to organize them biggest to smallest ...and it drives me crazy to have one that is an odd shape.  Like shorter and wider than the rest or taller and skinnier.  I know... random weird thing!!


14.  My friend Candice comes to see me every single day at work.  Unless she is too chicken to drive in the snow.  It's happened a couple of times this year ;)  


15.  YAY!!!  I made it!!!  OK. Here is the last one  ...I have a REALLY stupid laugh!!!  It sounds soooooo dumb.  And sometimes I snort too!  lol... Refer to the "My Name is Larry" video or the "Hold My Teeth" video.  I can't help it... It's my true, "real life", that made me laugh hard, laugh :)  Annoying but, OH WELL!!!  I do not however apologize for the snorting.  It's a family trait... Although I seem to be the only one in my immediate family who has it... My cousins from my Uncle Darryl's family tho... Almost all of them seem to have inherited that trait also :)
