Randomness

My WONDERFUL sister tagged me and for some strange reason I feel obligated to full-fill the request. So here are 6 random things about me........

1) I hate chain mail. For example the email that prattles on and on about if you truly LOVE Jesus you will pass this email on, BUT if you are ashamed of your faith go ahead and junk it! I. Hate. These Emails.
*here comes a rant*
I LOVE the Lord, my life if fully devoted to Him. I don't feel the need to pass along some lame email with a heartwrenthching picture of some white guy as Jesus, to prove my love! And for those of you who do pass them along to me.... well it's not what's gonna get you to heaven, so STOP! And for those of you like me who "go ahead and junk it", well you're not necessarily hell bound either!


2) I have a SERIOUS problem with inappropriate flushing. Wha? This is what my WONDERFUL sister calls it when my faces flushes red with embarrassment! It happens randomly in conversations with people I know well. It happens frequently during conversations with strangers. Draw attention to me in a crowd and I GUARANTEE I will turn redder that Rudolf's nose! The sister LOVES to make this happen as often as she can. Truth be known it's the real reason we moved. I just couldn't take one more trip to Target with her!
*side note- I actually won an award as a teen b/c of it. Yep that's right I own a trophy that says Miss Face Turns Red or something to that extent.*


3) Because it seems to be a popular topic....as a youngster I was in love with Mario Lopez aka A.C. Slater from Saved By The Bell! I got on my knees and begged God every night that someday I could be Mrs. Mario Lopez! Sadly this infatuation carried into my teen years. I finally gave it up at 13 after my first kiss with a real live boy.....my first "love". (A special thanks to T., you saved me from the devastating realization that this would never be me....)


4) I love to read. Unlike some people I can't stand thrillers! I have nightmares so easily. Those things stay with me for forever! But I do like some romance just not smut.... speaking of which my mother-in-law once gave me a couple of rated X romance novels once. Half way through them I wasn't sure what was more disturbing.... the smut or that my MOTHER-IN-LAW gave them too me. Which means she read them! EWWWW!
I really like to read books that make me think, inspirational books etc.
I currently just finished Driven By Eternity by John Bevere. I have to say, it. changed. my. life. It'll make a preacher outta ya and save ya all over again! I HIGHLY recommend it.


5) At the ripe-ol age of 29....VERY soon to turn...well....29 again of course, I have decide that I want to learn to play the acoustic guitar. I have always envied people who are musically talented. And seeing as how I am married to an amazing singer/pianist, I am forever in the presence of greatness! I have little desire to play the piano, b/c.... well it's just not very hot when a girl plays the keyboard, but lets face it, a chic and a guitar, well that's just pure hotness! Plus we already have one pianist in the family, and I don't want to steal his thunder. So I went with the guitar.
So my amazing husband went out a bought me one and I have been teaching myself to play. Only problem is it makes my fingers feel FAT! I can't seem to hold down one string w/o pushing down another. I inevitably end up putting the guitar back in the corner out of frustration while murmuring "theeeese haaaawwwwnds....."


6) I am a huge chocoholic! I admit I have a problem, and I don't want treatment..... just my next fix! I am serious! If there is chocolate in the house, I will eventually pic at it until it is gone. I think that might be the reason that Abigail was a 8lb 13 oz bundle of "Oh dear God I'm gonna die getting this kid out" when she was born! I was in my second trimester during Halloween and had a drawer where I kept the kit kats and reeses peanut butter cups, I couldn't stay out of it! I got so fat with her and just kept blaming on my "boggy uterus"......there was no way it could be the pounds of chocolate I was gobbling away every day....NOOOOOOO not my precious.
I just love hot fudge sundae's. That first bite of creamy hot fudge and cool vanilla ice cream melting together on my tongue....mmmmmmmmm forbidden chocolate...... It really is my preeeeciouuuuussssss.



There you have it, six random things. And because I can't stand chain mail, I refuse to tag anyone else! A girls gotta stick to her guns.

Comic Relief

I have often stated that God gave me Abby as my comic relief. I have three great kids. Each and every one of them have very different personalities, but by golly they are all stubborn. When I was pregnant with Abby I prayed that God would give me a quiet little bookworm....um...yeah, not so much! She is definately the one that can prattle on, and on, and on, and on... you get my drift.
On the flip side she comes up with the funniest comments, and the quirkiest ideas. I gaurentee that if you ask her a question about something, she will be able to "come up" with an answer.
Well the other day the kids were getting their swim suits on to go swiming at Grandma's house. I was in my room finishing up editing a photo session when she comes in...dressed like this... and says..."Mommy, who do I look like?"


After laughing hysterically I said, "I don't know, who do you look like?"
She replies, "I'm ROCK STAR Mommy!"

Now I PROMISE I have NEVER ran around the house with my swimsuit rolled down, my boulder holder around my neck and upside-down, with head phones on!!!!!

Let's just be gald that "Rock Star Mommy" Barbie is not coming soon to a store near you!
