25 Random Things

I keep getting tagged for this thing of Facebook, so I thought I'd put it in my blog, because I much prefer blogspot to facebook :)

So here's my 25 Random Things About Me:

1. I really miss everyone in Texas...even though I just saw a majority of my family I know that I'm missing out on soooo much!

2. I couldn't be more proud of my mom. She's truly an inspiration and I just wish I could get my rear in gear like she did.

3. I worry about dad...but there's nothing I can do from here :(

4. I'm super excited to move to Illinois, even though we're postponing it for another 6 months. The sooner we move, the sooner we'll be able to get a house and the sooner we can have kids!

5. I've eaten more Mexican food since moving to Wisconsin than I ever did living in South Texas!

6. I love when Dan cooks. Sometimes you just never know what's in the dish...at first that didn't sit well with me, but I've learned to enjoy it. He kindly makes sure to let me know now what he's put in the sauce, and we both have a lot of similar dislikes when it comes to food, so I know he'd never put anything I don't like in whatever he makes.

7. I hate packing! Every time we move we've got more and more stuff to pack. This time we're selling off a lot of the big stuff so we don't have to store it.

8. Even though I complain about having to get up for work at 6 or 7am, I know that I'm lucky to get to sleep that long...because I know once babies come along it'll be a miracle to get to sleep at all.

9. Where do my bras keep disappearing to? I have like 8 of them and when I got dressed this morning I couldn't find any of them!

10. I remember thinking my freshman year of high school "Holy cow! 4 years of this, I don't know if I can make it!" Next year will be my 10 year high school reunion. That's even scarier!

11. I miss my truck. We just bought a 2003 Dodge Dakota Quad Cab, but it's Dan's....so I don't really get to drive it often :(

12. I got to this point and decided it was time for bed...I'll do the remaining 13 tomorrow night!

13. I actually look forward to working weekends, because that means that we have something to do and we're not out spending money

14. I worry about certain friends....more than I should, but I can't help it.

15. I got my first (and only) Coach purse. Dan knew how much I've been wanting one and as a wedding/Christmas/birthday present he said I could pick one out. Luckily, I found one on eBay for 1/2 the price....Dan says that I'm not allowed to buy another purse for the next 30 years, but that's okay, I love the one I got! (I even found a matching wallet & coin purse at the outlet in the Dells)

16. I have about 69 more days left at "Z", and am really looking forward to leaving! I'll have a few weeks of working just the part-time job and then I'll go full-time there. I'm going to miss some of my co-workers, but I know we'll keep in touch.

17. Right after I leave "Z" Dan & I are going to Mexico for my cousin's wedding...and we are sooooo looking forward to it! We're trying to get all our traveling out of our systems now so we can hunker down and save for our house.

18. I really want a dog...but the apartment we're in doesn't allow dogs, and when we move to Illinois we'll already have the 2 cats and Dan's parents have a dog, so it'd definitely be a full house. So I have to wait for a couple more years :(

19. I'm almost done w/ the thank-you's! I think I have about 30 more! This stuff is more time consuming than I thought it'd be

20. I love to crochet! I'm working on a blanket for a co-worker and luckily I had leftover yarn from a previous project...unlucky for me that there isn't enough to finish the blanket and even more unlucky - none of the craft stores carry that yarn! So I had to order it online :(

21. I keep wondering why 60 degrees feels a heck of a lot colder up here than it ever did in Texas. It may be 4 outside, but its 60 in our apartment and I'm still freezing!

22. I seem to be the master at ruining surprises. Since we're working on our taxes Dan took all the receipts out of his wallet so we can make sure to deduct all his tool purchases from work. Well, I was picking up the wad of receipts that were scattered all over the table and noticed one for a nail place in the mall. It was a date that Dan didn't have to work and I knew he'd run some errands. So like an idiot, I asked if he'd gone to get a pedicure....No, of course he didn't! He kinda mumbled to himself and gave me "that" look, which told me I'd just ruined a surprise....yup, my Valentine's Day gift.

23. I don't know if I'm not getting enough sleep, but I've been super tired lately...I almost fell asleep at work today! I'm going to try going to bed early tonight and see how I feel in the morning.

24. My one regret from the wedding...well, not really a regret I guess, more of a wish...I wish my bouquet would have survived! I loved my flowers but they were mush by the time we got back from the honeymoon :(

25. My biggest fear is losing everyone I love and dying alone (I know, its morbid, but its true)
