A Fun New Pasttime


Okay, this post is for two of my sisters, and you know who you are! I have had so much fun with Facebook the last couple of months, almost as much fun as blogging. I wish you two would join. The fun could be mind boggling! :) Here's an example of some of the stuff you do. You can also post pictures and video. More of my friends check my Facebook than my blog, maybe that's why I like it better. Anyway, Robsie and Kim, tag your it! (if I can't catch you on Facebook I'll have to get you this way, so you aren't safe either way) :)

25 Random facts about ME!

1. I have a sweet tooth and LOVE chocolate so I have a secret stash in the house at all times!
2. I LOVE to swim and feel very much at home in the water.
3. I'm really quiet until I get to know you, then I'd like to think that I'm a lot of fun.
4. I love the movie It's A Wonderful Life and have fun with Mark quoting George Bailey. "...You call this a happy family? Why do we have to have all these kids?... Well, you look about like the kind of angel I'd get!...
5. I'm very particular about the laundry. It has to be done a certain way, with certain soap, and fabric softener. And I'm good with stains. If I can't get it out, it's not coming out.
6. I'm pretty sure I have social anxiety disorder. Church is kind of hard for me.
7. Mark proposed to me in the celestial room of the Mesa, Arizona temple. And it was very romantic.
8. I served a mission to Peoria, Illinois. Nauvoo was in one of my districts and I absolutely fell in love with it. I can't imagine how heartbroken the Saints must have been to have to leave that beautiful place.
9. I think bookstores are magical. I could easily spend hours in one.
10. I don't think you ever get over losing a baby. I'm sad to say that I've lost 3 (in a row).
11. I think captain Jack Sparrow is highly entertaining!
12. I don't like sacrament meeting on Mother's Day. I think it absolutely twists the knife for all the dear women who haven't been able to have children and it kinda sends the rest of us on a guilt trip.
13. I'm a little OCD when it comes to a clean house. I have a hard time coping if my house is not clean.
14. One of my very favorite places in all the world is Disneyland.
15. I kind of miss Mark being the Bishop. There was such a special spirit in our home that I know came with that particular calling. But it's nice to get to sit by him in church again.
16. I can't even begin to tell you how much I LOVE to read! I have to have reading material at all times.
17. I think one of the sweetest, most tender experiences I've had in this life is nursing my little babies. I wouldn't have missed that one for ANYTHING!
18. My favorite sandwich in the whole world is a Honey Bacon Club from Quiznos. Chased by a butterfinger shake from Iceberg.
19. I hate my C-Section scar. It's not the big long purple line that bugs me, it's that it's like squished my fat into this heinous mushroom looking thing. It's not right. I wish I could have my fat back the way it was before. And I think if you have to have a C-Section then you should get a free tummy tuck thrown in cuz you are full of stitches and staples anyway!
20. I think my kidos are some of the most wonderful people in the world and I love being their Mom. Even on the hard days. They make me laugh, and they teach me things.
21. I know I have a Father in Heaven who loves me. This knowledge helps me get through the tough times.
22. My Mom is my Hero and she is so much fun to be with. So are my three younger sisters.
23. I do NOT like spicy food but I love Kung Pao chicken from Panda Express. Go figure.
24. I have reason to believe that my cute hubby, Mark, hung the moon.
25. I love having a really good belly laugh.

Natalie I am glad that you like facebook so much. Maybe you could teach me the ropes. I still can't figure out half of the things you can do on the dang thing!

Kim said...

So I am done with Facebook. I have a life. And wasting time on the computer and feeling that I have to talk back. It's just not for me. It's just one more way to keep us from doing the things we should. So now you know why I am not doing much with it.

Well, facebook is not all it's cracked up to be, but I do check it occasionally. I like to play twirl. It keeps my mind sharp.

I LOVED reading all the fun random facts about you. Very fun. I have to admit I've been tempted to start facebooking but I'm going to hold strong...NO THANKS! I laughed out loud at mom's comment. Mom come on twirl? Seriously? Cute post!
