31 Things

I totally stole this idea from another blog.......just wanted to make sure I was keepin' it real.

Since today is my 31st birthday I thought I would list 31 things you may or may not know about me!  Don't worry, Friday five is back next week.

In no particular order.....

1.  I am a very picky eater.  I do not eat any seafood or pork and avoid trying new things.  I am like a kid.
2.  I have a dish obsession.  There is NO room left in my kitchen cabinet for dishes, but that won't stop me!  In one apartment Jason and I lived in we had to store dishes in the spare bathroom cabinets.
3.  I used to describe myself as outgoing, outspoken, loud and slightly obnoxious, but lately I find I am more quiet and reserved. (okay reserved might be taking it a little too far.)
4.  My sister is my best friend.
5.  Red Rock Canyon Grill is my favorite restaurant in Tulsa (until August).
6.  I hope to adopt from Ethiopia in the future.
7.  In order to function throughout the day, I need two cups of coffee, both with cream and sugar.
8.  To say I am routine oriented would be an understatement.  I pretty much do the same things day in and day out with very little variation.
9.  I wish I knew more about homeopathic medicine.
10.  If I went back to college it would be to become a nurse practitioner.
11.  My favorite sport to watch is golf, and my favorite golfer right now is Graeme McDowell.
12.  I am more of a night person, but my girls are up at 6 am every morning, so I am too.
13.  Cloudy, rainy, cool weather is my favorite.  I think I would love Seattle's weather.
14.  I want a mini van.  I know, I know.  Judge if you want.  But they are roomy and get better gas mileage than an SUV.
15.  I love horse races.
16.  I miss my Grandma and Grandpa Grape. They passed away a few years ago and I miss them pretty much all the time.
17.  Before I got married I did not know how to cook, hated camping, never cleaned anything, and said I wasn't having kids.  Boy how things can change.
18.  I am currently in the process of writing a book.  Who knows what will happen when I am done!
19.  Reading is my favorite hobby. 
20.  Black, dark gray and dark purple are my fav nail polish colors.  (even in the spring and summer)
21.  I am a Mary Kay consultant.  I love all things Mary Kay.  Seriously.  Great company, great products, great friends.
22.  The majority of recipes in my cabinet are for desserts.
23.  Speaking of dessert....I have a huge sweet tooth.  Just ask my dentist.
24.  I have been married for 10 years (in June). 
25.  I don't really want another kid right now, but I wouldn't mind being pregnant.  That way I could eat what I wanted, wear stretchy pants, and not have my monthly visitor.  (hope that last part isn't tmi!)
26.  I have considered starting a secret blog where I could talk about my family more without them reading it.  Is that horrible?  I have a LOT of great stories.
27.  I hate bugs.  All of them.  HATE. 
28.  Washing my hair everyday is not a priority.  Washing my hair every other day isn't really a priority either.  The third day of not washing my hair is when I get the most compliments on how it looks.
29.  I wish I was more creative.  I would like to be a better decorator, scrapbook-er, photographer, writer, and blog designer.  Instead I am good at planning, budgeting, balancing a checkbook, and other nerdy things.
30.  Deciding to be a stay at home mom was one of the best decisions I have ever made.
31.  The most important thing about me, the thing I am most defined by and the thing I most want people to see about me is that I am a Christian.  I am always trying to grow in areas of love, compassion, faith, trust, boldness and knowledge of the Bible.
