randomness

ok, so here are some things that you probably dont know about me, and I probably wouldnt admit to in person, and will deny any knowledge of these if you ask (unless, maybe its nicely)...

1. I'd really love to be a stay-at-home mom, but its not financially responsible right now

2. Daniel would say yes, if I asked about #1

3. I only have one regret in life (but Im not telling, maybe will post about it later)

4. My office is about 12 feet from my mom's although we never work on the same things

5. She comes to my office first thing every morning to ask me how I am and how Gabe is

6. I love my family, but am not as close to them as I would like to be

7. Daniel's family drives me crazy - I can only take them in small doses

8. I love white roses

9. If I get flowers, before they die, instead of throwing them away, I pull the petals off and use them in my bath water (and then throw them away - not go down the drain)

10. Daniel and I have gotten my sister a valentines present and delivered it to her work for 3 years already

11. I wish I was a better mom

12. I have severe stage fright if I have to perform, but I do it anyway...

13. I dont like to talk on the phone (even though I would gladly talk to any of my friends who called) for some reason, it just makes me nervous

14. Until I got married, I slept with stuffed animals - they each had thier own spot in the bed

15. I have OCD (but not the hand washing kind)

16. Sometimes I secretly wish I could be back in high school and be popular again

17. I wish I was a cheerleading coach

18. I like guys who wear black eyeliner

19. My latest crush is Billy Joe Armstrong of Green Day - so hot!

20. Daniel knows I have crushes and doesnt care

21. Im a thrift store addict

22. Daniel does any washing that gets done at our house - clothes, dishes, tub, etc...

23. I take a bath almost every night (as opposed to a shower) and I own 20 million bath gels, lotion, etc

24. Im a goody-goody... Ive never drank, smoke or done drugs, and I was a virgin when I married

25. If Id have known that Daniel smoked at the time, I never would have gone out with him (he had to quit before I would marry him)

26. If you say I resemble Gwen Stefani in any way, you will be my best friend for the day (you probably already knew that)

27. I carry my Hello Kitty lunchbox to work every day

28. Daniel fixes my lunch every day

29. We almost always eat lunch together every day

30. For Valentines Day, I really want this 1 foot tall hippo that goes out in the yard - but I dont think Daniel is going to get it for me

31. I want to make my yard reminiscient of Alice in Wonderland - just random things placed all around

32. We once had plastic fruit hanging from one of the cedar trees in our yard, but had to take them down after a couple of months b/c they got dirty... (and when anyone would ask us what that was, and point to the fruit, we would say "havent you ever seen a fruit tree before?")

32. Im afraid of the dark

33. I finally have a plant on my desk that isnt dying

34. I have lyrics from "Plastic Jesus" by Rackets & Drapes (now-defunt Christian band) at my desk so I can see them every day - it says "The little man hanging from the cross on your neck/ False advertisement cause that man you wear is no longer dead/ Make little gestures for the whole world to see/ Just motions that you go through when you pray and eat" (reminds me not to be a hypocrite)

35. I also have lyrics from "Closer" by Better Than Ezra at my desk with a pic of Gabe on it... "Closer than this life/ Closer finally/ Living for the only thing you ever made complete/ Oh, for the one thing that you both did perfectly"

36. I tend to write (but not talk) too much

37. I used to hate pink, but now I like being a girly girl... although green is still my favorite color

38. Whenever the time hits all the same numbers (ex. 4:44 - see time posted) I make a wish

39. I only wear red lipstick, and have 20 million different tubes of it

40. I only like 2 types of soup - cheese and potato... refuse to eat any others...

41. Ive always wanted to try karaoke but am too embarrased to ever try

42. Im obsessed with Japanese fashion and culture (even before Gwen was)
