25 Random Things

I've been hit with this one at least 4 times, so I am going to get it over with (not to mention the fact that it finally gives me something to post about). It was actually kind of fun, but I'm not going to go through the painstaking effort of tagging 25 people, so if anyone wants to do it, knock yourself out.

1. I love playing drums. It was my major in college, I taught it for a long time, and I miss it. It just isn't practical with my kids and current lifestyle.
2. For a while in college my job was reading obituaries for the Alumni office. (Not kidding, I really got paid for it.)
3. I love reading of any kind, but I harbor a secret enjoyment for magazines - something about the brainlessness of it.
4. My husband and I met at a party, where he spent the whole night hitting on me, then left without my number and had to try and track me down after.
5. I'm actually very girly, I love dresses and heels, and frilly stuff, and totally loved dolls as a kid (still kind of do), and am therefore really excited to have a girl, knowing my luck though, she'll be a tomboy.
6. I'm not a terribly social person, but I love my friends and I love getting together with them.
7. I have some strong OCD tendencies.
8. I really like crafty projects like card making, and sewing - but I don't particularly enjoy scrapbooking.
9. I secretly fear having to work in scouts when my boys get to be that age.
10. I wish my backyard had a fence.
11. I've only kissed one other guy, than my husband.
12. I apologize too much. I don't know why - I just do.
13. I have two boys, who I wouldn't trade for anything, even though some days they drive me crazy.
14. I love beef. Especially when I am pregnant.
15. I'm currently experiencing pregnancy number four, kid number three, and girl number one. and pending any major disasters will be giving birth in exactly 6 weeks from today.
16. I love playing my wii, we got it more for us (my husband and me) than for the kids.
17. I have a true passion for GOOD ice cream.
18. I also have a thing for Cheesecake, and I make really good cookies too (but I promise I'm not as obsessed with desserts as it sounds like I am).
19. I like blogging. It's one of those things that I said I would never get into, and then had to eat my words.
20. I am the youngest of 6, and there is a 22 year spread in my family. My husband is also the youngest of 6, with an 11 year spread. Both with 3 boys, 3 girls. And where ever there is a boy in my family, there is a girl in his, and vice-versa.
21. My kids currently have 42 first cousins, with at least one more pending after my baby girl is born. (No wonder I always miss birthdays)
22. Even though we have big families, my husband and I both like things kind of quiet - I think that's why we handle it okay, even though we are very far away from them all.
23. I don't really like my birthday, I like others, just not mine.
24. I hate having my picture taken. Photos of just me are a rarity.
25. The only nights I have ever spent away from my kids, have been in hospitals. (I really need a vacation I think).
