The list!

Okay, yesterday was just too busy to post. I don't want to start slacking on the list though, I love it. So, today will be quick and tomorrow will be a real post. Instead, today I will post just a quick list with an idea I saw on someone elses blog. Five random facts. This might be fun, there is kind of a varied group here and it will be neat to see what we do and don't know about each other. Here we go....

#1. I love coffee. Really,really love it. I drink several cups a day. I will gladly drive into the city just for a latte that's really good.

#2. I stopped using shampoo a month ago. I wash with baking soda and rinse with vinegar. After an initial adjustment period, my hair is really soft and shiny. Although, sometimes when it is humid or rainy I have smelled like a pasta salad.

#3. In my early 20's I lost over a 100 pounds. I never really realized how big I had gotten but it really hurts to look back and see how far it had gone. I once showed a picture to Kim but not at my biggest and I try hard to keep them from Pete.

#4. I would happily have more babies if I didn't know that Pete would go INSANE.

#5. When I was 26 I dated a guy for a year that was 19. I also, unfortunately, tattooed his name on me.

Your turn!

1. I was conceived in Taiwan.

2. When I was little I watched the movie Orca, against my parents wishes, and now cannot use black and white toilets.

3. I have a tattoo. It is a "Made in Taiwan" label on my ankle.

4. I was engaged to someone else before I met Scott.

5. I don't have a gall bladder.

Britt-
The toilet one about killed me. I seem to recall that, but I am still laughing. As I was making my list I was thinking of you. Funny how much we know about each other. I really need to call you so we can catch up some more. I really miss you and check your blog daily, hint,hint. I hope things are going okay without Scott. Take care. Love, Mattie

1. I hate bathing. I shower everyday due to social norms, but it's such a chore.

2. I believe in bigfoot, yeti, sasquatch, whatever you want to call it. It is the only thing I'm NOT afraid of, and the only thing my husband IS afraid of.

3. I have a scar the exact size and placement of a pants zipper. Why? Exploratory surgery, ruptured appendix.

4. I don't like answering the phone. If my husband is home, he will answer it 99% of the time. If I am home, I will only answer it about 60% of the time. I'm a screener.

5. After having worked for an airline, I no longer fly.

1. I could never do a cartwheel even though I practiced every day in 1st grade.

2. I've never broken a bone.

3. I watch my calories only so I can feel justified in eating more dessert.

4. Every person in my family was born in a different state.

5. I have a real pet peeve with noises people make when they eat. Wait! There's a new list idea--pet peeves.

April- Oscar believes 100% in Bigfoot. We have read books, watched the shows and he hunts continously! Also, you need to have a baby and stay home.This allows you to only shower every 2 or 3 days. You can take my word on that!

Annisha- We have #2 on your list in common. I like the pet peeve idea, I think that should be next weeks!

1. I get acupuncture every Tuesday.

2. I love stamps and keep at least one stamp from every sheet I buy.

3. My hands are my favorite body part.

4. Rings are my favorite form of jewelry and I have several that are very, very special to me.

5. The only time I ever brush or comb my hair is when my mom braids it for me.

Brittney said...

Okay April how can you hate bathing? It is a chore but that just out of the shower clean feeling is great. Mattie is right, if you stay at home with the kids you can get away without taking that daily shower. I just want everyone to know that as sisters we do not have that in common. I shower everyday, most days twice. I shave my legs everyday and did throughout both pregnancies too. How can we possibly be related?

1. If I had the money I would probably be tattooed head to toe. I'm addicted to the whole process, the sounds, smells and the art.

2. I don't ever remember my parents saying they loved me although I know they did.

3. I am the worlds biggest procrastinator. No big surprise to those who really know me. I'm late for everything.

4. As a kid I loved to dance. Have not really danced since I was about 10 years old.

5. I have planned just about nothing in my life. Just pretty much take it as it comes. I think I've been damn lucky so far!

I will attest to the fact that Brittney shaved during pregnancy! Something that I was totally fascinated by. I only shave during the summer and as little as possible during winter. Pregnancy is yet another sweet excuse for not shaving. Unless you are Bea Moore. You are awesome and I love it.

Dad- I would say we have 1,3 and 5 in common. It makes me sad that you were not told I love you and I am glad that has not been the case for us girls. Not only am I going to spend the day imagining you dancing I also think that you should get dancing again. This kind of reminded me of the night I caught you singing on the front porch and you were adamant that you were not. Either way, Oscar has some moves he may be able to pass on! I Love You!!
