Today is my two week mark! I am feeling pretty good. Tonight I get to go out with friends for Kyra's graduation party. I am super excited to finally get out of this house for a few hours. I am so sick of being stuck here. I am also sick of just doing nothing. Not that I will be doing anything different tonight, but at least I won't be HOME. All I wanted 2 weeks ago was to get back here, but after spending 2 weeks here I need OUT!
I am just a tad bit nervous about supper tonight at the Mexican. I know I can get something grilled like fajitas and eat that, but this will be the first time I haven't really "planned" for a dinner out. I also hate the dining out because of people staring at you. The other thing is the fact that I can't drink or drink with my meals and people tend to look at ya a little funny about that. Ugh. It will be an experience, so wish me luck!
I keep getting requests from Blogger friends to do this 50 random things about me survey. I will start it today, if I can't finish it I will tomorrow. Here it goes...
1. I have RED hair. I used to hate it, but now love RED and like being one of the few unique red heads on the planet. I am a ginger kid. Get over it!
2. I have a brother. He is the wild child in the family. I tend to stick up for him no matter what, so don't bother telling me any different. We are just "like" that. No matter what in this world I know he's got my back, and I will always have his.
3. Family is important to me. I'm not talking about any tom, dick or harry in my "family" I am talking about the ones that truly matter. The ones that treat you like family ALWAYS no matter what. That is what family is to me. You don't have to be blood to be my family, and some people that are my blood are NOT considered my family. I <3 My family! They come first to me.
4. My husband is and always has been my best friend. We've been pretty tight for the last 14 years now. He's my number one supporter, and I am his. Something with us just "clicked" from the beginning and nobody will ever take that from us. We've been through so much together it just keeps getting better.
5. I drive a mini van. Truth about it is I love my van. I wouldn't trade it for the world. I had to BEG BEG BEG my hunny for that van, and now I think he actually enjoys taking it places too! Shhh don't tell him I told ya that! He doesn't want anyone to know! bahahah
6. My boys... well I always said I'd have 3 kids. 2 boys and a girl. Whelp, I got my boys and unless Anna talks my husband into adopting an Asian baby, I will NEVER have that girl. I got fixed. We are DONE making babies, but we can still have a lot of fun practicing making babies ;-)
7. I hate things out of place. I have an obsessive compulsive trait in me and it takes all that I have in me to have things be out of order. I think I've passed that along to Cole someplace along the way and I feel really bad for that. Over the many many year and 2 BOYS later I have kind of had to back off on that trait, because otherwise I stress myself out too much cleaning and organizing all the time. This is very hard for me, but I let things go now. It feels good sometimes!
8. I hate when people don't put the toilet paper on the roll holder. I actually just wanna slap the shit out of them when they leave it sitting there on the counter. Come on... really are you THAT flipping lazy? My husband is the NUMBER ONE offender here and I could slap him daily for it! bahahaha
9. Don't flush the toilet until you are completely DONE peeing. Ugh... seriously? DO you scrub the toilets? BOYS... what is with you people? Who taught you it was okay to flush mid pee because you are too lazy to hit the flusher on the way out? And dribbling on the toilet? I seriously have thought about issuing a "you drip it you lick it" policy here. Wonder how that would go over? Guess that's another downer for all these boys in my house! At least they all put the seat down.
10. I love crunchy foods. I don't think I have ever really thought about it till now, but being on this soft and liquid diets has really really made me realize how much I miss the crunchy noises in my head when I eat. I can't wait to have a salad and hear that crunch!
11. I love my "settles" tea. Nobody can make a pitcher of tea like mine. Nobodies tea is good enough for me unless it's mine. Not even my mothers. Weird, I know.
12. I love ice. I can't stand to drink things without ice in them. If I don't have ice, I usually won't drink. I don't eat the ice, I just like it in my glass keeping my drink ICE COLD.
13. My nickname in school was Manny. I still have 3 people in this world who call me Manny, Jennifer & Andrea and Kat. They will more than likely call me this till the day I die. Kat usually calls me Mannybeth cause my middle name is Elizabeth.
14. My Full name is Amanda Elizabeth. If anyone calls me Amanda I usually ignore them. Not on purpose, but because I have never been called Amanda, even by my parents. When I got in trouble growing up it was always "Mandy Elizabeth" ah ha ha this is why when we named our kids we named them something simple.
15. I like to speed when I drive. 70 is my speed of choice. I am just comfortable there. It kills me to drive 55.
16. I hate socks.
17. I LOVE flip flops and sandals
18. My feet are nasty and ugly. They are horribly dry and cracked all year round. I get many many pedicures, they only last sooo long and then back to horrible again!
19. I have a rock collection. I didn't start it, Cole did. He brings me pretty rocks all the time. Some of them have super sweet memories to me. I could never part with my rocks.
20. I save a lot of stuff from my kids. Homework papers, mementos, etc. Things I love that my mom saved from me, but I don't think she saved enough. I save. I have a rubber tote for each of the boys and throw it all in there. One day they will LOVE me for doing that and looking back on it. I still have the first coloring book page cole ever colored at church when he was 2. Sweet!
21. I think I annoy my husband daily because when I get bored I call him. Sometimes he will talk to me, sometimes not. He does the same to me, but it's not like I am working, so I feel kinda bad doing it to him, but sometimes I just wanna hear his voice. I know it's sad. Sick to some maybe, but I do it... everyday.
22. I don't think I could NOT have a DVR. I live off of mine. Without it I could quite possibly die and I just don't wanna take the chance.
23. Smells bother me. I can't stand stinky people. I can't stand certain smells. I almost gag when I smell something rotten. Yuck.
24. Chomping food and smacking lips is my NUMBER ONE pet peeve in this world. I seriously want to SMACK people silly when they can't chew with their mouths closed. They sound like they were raised in a sow lot and it's repulsive. I can't believe the manners of some people. Chomp chomp chomp, smack smack smack. It makes me sick. Makes me angry too. How flipping hard is it to chew with your mouth closed??? Really come on? It's like nails down the chalkboard kind of annoyance to me. GROSS.
25. If I have used a sponge once to wash dishes, I WILL NOT use it again to clean dishes. I will wet it, put it in the microwave and heat it up to kill the germs and clean the stove and counters with it, but I will not clean my dishes with it. I know that's not very "green" of me, but I figure if I won't use the same bath rag twice, why should I wash dishes with the same sponge twice? I also won't wash dishes without a cap full of bleach in every sink load. It may be a germ a phobia thing, but I just won't do it. I could quite possibly spend hundreds a year on sponges, but I don't care.
Okay... this is it for me today. I will finish my other 25 tomorrow. Time to go balance the checkbook and get ready for tonight! Wooo hoooo!!!!
