25 Random Things

OK, I've been tagged to post 25 random thoughts about myself on facebook, and since I spent way too much time doing this, I'm going to post it here, too! Enjoy...

1. Ok, the only reason I'm doing this is because I've been tagged about 4 times, so I figure it's about time I responded.
2. I have been worrying for days about not being able to come up with 25 things to say.
3. I really have no idea how facebook works. I just like reading about what's going on in other people's lives. If you want to find out about mine, you have to go to my blog.
4. I like to run, but I really don't think I'm much of an athlete. In fact, I'm the antithesis of an athlete. I have no coordination, and I'm pretty weak. But it feels good to sweat, and sometimes, when I run longer than the guy next to me (I've been on the treadmill at the gym since January), I like to pretend I'm better than he is. Of course, I'm usually humbled when, as I'm leaving the gym, I look over and see him benching 500 lbs.
5. My ankle hurts. As much as I like to run, it also makes me feel like I'm getting older - it seems I'm always pulling a muscle, twisting an ankle, or just being more sore than a 20 year old would be.
6. I should be paying the bills right now, but I don't want to, and so I'm also feeling guilty about not paying the bills.
7. I need to lose weight, but I know that means I need to give up baking treats for a while, and I think I have a true addiction to cookie dough.
8. Along those "losing weight" lines, I'm really tempted to try the "Acai Berry Diet" that is constantly being advertised online, and even though I know it's all a bunch of advertising bull and is seriously not a healthy way to lose weight, wouldn't it be nice if you really could lose 23 lbs a month?
9. I love to read. I want to be well versed and knowledgable in all types of literature, but a good mystery, or exciting action story, or sappy love story can pull me in at the drop of a hat. Or should I say a turn of a page. Anyway, when I get pulled in to a good book, I have a really hard time putting it down. I mean, really, really hard. Like, kids, how about a bowl of cereal for breakfast, lunch, and dinner? And, if you're not bleeding, you're fine. And, the baby can nap just as well on the floor as he can in his bed, right? I'm truly a loser mom when I get pulled into a good book.
10. I'm afraid of drunk people. Because even happy drunks can turn mean and evil for no rational reason, and drunks behind the wheel are lethal. Which is why I don't like to travel on holidays.
11. I'm thinking that I'm going to post this on my blog, because if I'm going to spend this much time at the computer, I might as well multi-task!
12. I like to pray in my closet. Honestly, if I'm really going to pour out my heart, I just can't do it knowing that someone is going to be walking around me, or is watching me, or is waiting for me to finish. It just makes me too self conscious, so I hide in my closet to pray.
13. One thing that I'm really going to miss about being Relief Society president is the excuse I had to be involved in, or at least aware of, what's going on in everyone's lives.
14. The thing that I will not miss about being RS president is the constant guilt of not doing enough, being spiritual enough, or just not being enough.
15. I really hope I don't embarrass my family too much.
16. I'm afraid of ghosts. So if you die, don't come back to visit me. Just leave a note.
17. I love music. I can be really touched by a good song, or an inspired performance of a beautiful piece of music. Sometimes I can feel the spirit of a song when I play my flute, and even though no one else may hear it, it is just beautiful to me.
18. I like to leave a good impression, and I probably worry too much about it.
19. I hate those days where I don't make the time to shower and get and dressed. I just feel so grungy, and even if no one sees me, I feel gross.
20. I feel better in a clean room. I have a hard time starting a new project in a dirty room. I have to clean it first! I think I even sleep better when my house is clean.
21. I think I may have been a gymnast in a previous life (just kidding!). I actually get emotional when I watch those talented athletes perform, and I wish I could have been like that.
22. I love my boys, and if we could have one more, I'd actually want another boy.
23. Even though the previous comment is pure truth, sometimes I wish I had an excuse to be more "girly."
24. Making treats is one way I show my boys I love them. Does that make me disfunctional?
25. One of my biggest regrets is that I didn't finish college. I really hope to get a degree before I die!
