25 Things...

I am always interested in the little things that people enjoy/dislike/MUST have/routines, etc!  I like to see how people tick.  Then I got to thinking, what would my List of 25 Things about me say? So here they are...for better or for worse...til death or at least Spring Break! he he
--------------------------------------------------------------------

1.  I relax by going to workout.  But on the off chance that I want to relax with a low heart rate, I will always choose a hot cup of coffee, no matter the time of day, with Kent's T-shirt, leggings, ugly, yet colorful, fuzzy socks with rubber grippers on the bottom, and my hair in a pony!

2.  My favorite meal:  Grandmother's turnip greens(only the ones from her garden AND ONLY HER turnip greens...no one else's will measure up!), HER cornbread crumbled up with an excessive amount of HER tomato gravy (tomatoes ALSO from her garden) dumped over the top of the cornbread.  The bottom of the cornbread soaks up the perfect small amount of Turnip Green Juice from the other half of the plate...so good!  And all to be topped off with mus-kee-dine(that's how you're supposed to say it;)) cobbler!  Yummy!...and for breakfast, it would have to be, HOMEADE biscuits with Granddaddy's Hot THIN Chocolate gravy poured over a pat of Country Crock!...and if Grandaddy is not around: 2 parts Golden Eagle Syrup to 1 part butter mixed together with a fork...then crumble your homeade biscuit in the bowl....ooooohhhweeee...if you haven't tried it...you should...tomorrow! Why am I getting hungry?

3.  I call my Mom everyday after school...I usually have no real reason to call...except I just need to hear her voice.

4.  I like my grilled cheese sandwhich with white Wonder Bread, Immitation Square Cheese, Country Crock, and ... the best part...SUGAR!...don't knock it til you try it!

5.  I sometimes snort when I laugh.  No...it is not attractive or cute or anything plesant, but it happens.

6.  I make TONS of To Do List....even if I misplace them while DOing!?!...On the same note, I am awful about taking the time to make a grocery list...get to grocery store...get germy grocery cart...look for list...oh yeah...I left it on the counter! perfect!

7.  Anything dealing with love makes me happy.  I love, love.

8.  I HATE  window shopping, if I can't buy...I don't go!

9.  I LOVE the people I work with at RES!  ...Staff like them come around once every....um...never!

10.  Before Kent and Hughes, my life was incomplete.

11.  I usually arrive right on time...never early...yet, never LATE...or at least REALLY late.

12.  Dogs make me very happy...other people's dogs.  When you have your own dog, it is like another child and I don't have time for potty training a dog...I had MUCH rather have another human child!!!...nonetheless...I do LOVE OTHER people's dogs.

13.  I could stay on the computer 24/7!  I love everything about the internet...yet feel that ALL internet connections should be speedy fast with no wait time...or else...the demon inside creeps through my pointer and I start right clicking like crazy to make it faster...which we ALL know ONLY makes it slower!...oh the stress of slow computers.

14.  When people burp, I throw up on the inside.

15.  Private Practice and Castle are my favorite TV shows...and the Bachelor...even though it is completely lame and predictable...I can't help myself!

16.  I would love to be BFF with Ree Drummond...The Pioneer Woman...if you don't know her...you should get to know her...sadly, I try to channel her.

17.  My mother named all three of her children with a B:  Brad, Britanny, and Ben.  We are all six years apart:  which interprets to my mother and father having a teenager for 18...count them...18 years!!!!  Bless their hearts.

18.  I want to be one of those people who reads a  book every week.

19.  Kent is my crush...he is good to me in everyway.  For example, he is watching the National Championship game in the living room, as I blog...and folding clothes while he does it!  It takes two around this house...that's for sure!

20.  He has also completed an Iornman...which is pretty amazing!...Maybe one day (when our children are bigger) he will get the opportunity to do that again!

21.  I killed a deer Thanksgiving Eve!!!...with my car...

22.  I LOVE to cook...HATE to clean up the mess.

23.  Thomas Crown Affair will always be my "go to" movie...and Sound of Music...and Seven Brides for Seven Brothers...and My Fair Lady...um, Kent, can we please make a trip to New York (I want to see some Broadway plays) before I have to start getting Botox?...which will be sooner than later?...thanks

24.  I LOVE to go the movies...and get popcorn and sprinkle the M&M's on top...! Divinity!

25.  I believe the world would be a better place if, people would turn off the television and go play outside, have game night with their family, and volunteer, as a family.

Good Night...Don't let the Bed Bugs Bite!  ...(my Mom whispered that to me EVERYNIGHT when I was young..along with reading me three books...EVERYNIGHT!...thanks Mom!)

I'm not sure if it's the music playing in the background, your beautiful words, or the 11 degree temperature outside, but I feel a cry ball forming.

Loved reading all about you...I learned things I didn't know (M&M's and popcorn!), and laughed at things you do that make me smile (by the way, you almost always snort when you are truly laughing).

Best friend a girl could ever ask for!

I love you to babe!!!

I watched Seven Brides for Seven Brothers over the break and I really really enjoyed it. I still need to mark off another couple of movies on your list. If you like mms and popcorn, you need to mix it with peanuts- now that is heaven! I liked reading these as well. You are a good woman to call your mom everyday! Also, I want to try your grand dads chocolate gravy, it sounds divine!

I was just missing you and remembered that I haven't read your blog in a few weeks! I love all your "ramblings". Kiss my boys and I miss you all so much!
