I’m going to complete the list this time. Really. I have started several drafts and then forgot or didn’t finish, so this time, I’m going to finish, because that’s the person I am in 2007.
1. I was born in Bad Axe, Michigan on January 14th, 1977. Or so I thought until my husband corrected me when applying for our marriage license that I was actually born in Colfax Township.
2. I love the way my birth date sounds when I say it.
3. I love to cook. Hated it as a child/young adult but somehow when I started living alone, I became very domestic.
4. My mom thought that would never happen and still won’t compliment me when I cook something.
5. My mom is either in constant competition with me or does/says things I like to get closer to me when really I just want to push her away. All the time. I can’t stand it, but I can’t change it.
6. I just forgot how to spell competition when I typed it for number 5. That will bother me for a good 24 hours.
7. I really do love my mom, but I adored her until about 1994, and then it went down hill from there.
8. I really want to be a Real Estate Agent but I’m too scared. I love houses, I love them.
9. Finishing school is only important to me so I can say I did.
10. When at the bar I’m going to order one of the following: Coors Light, Martini, Red Wine, Sangria or a Bloody Mary.
11. Bed covers must always be in the appropriate order for me sleep soundly.
12. I can always sleep. Except when I’m on vacation.
13. I want to start a recipe blog, but I want to add pictures so I have to remember to take the picture and then download it. Ah, someday.
14. I make up nicknames for people, not on purpose, they just flow out of my mouth naturally.
15. I love computers.
16. You are pretty much always going to know how I feel, just by my face. It’s a flaw, or is it?
17. I like to read blogs.
18. When I find a new one, I read it like a book…start to finish.
19. I love to read, wish I had more time too.

21. I want a book shelf in every room of my house.
22. I’m trying to get pregnant. I’m very afraid it won’t happen for us.
23. If I have a daughter, I want to read her all the books I read as a child; for example Anastasia Krupnik.
24. My mom used to have to bribe me to go play with friends because I was always reading.
25. I bet she regretted that after I discovered boys and the roller rink.
26. I will put a pull down United States map in my child(rens) rooms. If I have more than 1 child then maybe one world map and one United States map. If I don’t have children, it will hang in the office.
