100 things about me

I originally intended to construct a very creative About Me type of post.  I was thinking that it would be the kind of post where you want to drink some java while you laugh and smile over the person that I am.

However, I quickly came to realize that there was really nothing about me that I could construe that would make you want to sip latte and smile.

So instead, I will do what any lazy blogger would do.  I will share with you 100 things about me.  To be honest, I do not even know 100 things about me, so I probably will learn something too.  I have no idea where this will go.  This could be interesting.

1. I love to read.
2. especially page and paper books 
3. however, I have a blogging addiction I continue to battle
4. because really I love to learn
5. and I love to meet new people though
6. my addiction has nothing to do with me being slightly undisciplined
7. or slightly lazy
8. really I just find blogging a fun pastime.
9. I don't "sit" and watch tv much
10. although I did alot before kids
11. however now I just watch it when I'm folding the laundry I'm always behind on
12. or when I'm clipping coupons.
13. I clip coupons because I'm frugal.
14. I find shopping 2nd hand stores a pure joy.
15. Really because I love to shop
16. and would go broke if I paid full price.
17. and I love clothes
18. although I rarely am found not wearing jeans
19. because I'm a pretty non fru-fru kind of gal
20. however I do enjoy makeup
21. and I always have my hair colored
22. because it is easier for me to do because I'm not talented with hair
23. or maybe I am but I don't fool with it because I struggle with impatience
24. which is interesting when you have 4 kids
25. but I love my kids
26.  and somedays I want many more kids
27. and somedays I am trying to figure out if I want any kids
28. because my kids help reveal to me the fallen person I am
29. which is why I acknowledge my need for God
30. and love growing in my relationship with Him
31. although many days I mess it all up
32. and mess it all up again the next day
33. however my true desire is to be radically obedient to Him
34. because deep inside I feel radical
35. and sometimes a rebel
36. like I felt rebellious when I got my nose pierced 6 years ago
37. and sometimes now I consider another piercing
38. or maybe a tatoo
39. but I'm too future minded to do it
40. although I don't always want to move to the next stage of life
41. and seriously think about restarting the diaper stage all over again
42. because I love having little ones at home with me
43. even though I am extremely independent
44. and love to have alot of "me" time
45. which is why it seems insane that I consider homeschooling
46. or consider adopting again
47. but moving on to another stage is exciting because I love to dream
48. especially late at night when I'm most motivated
49. but not motivated to do cleaning because I hate cleaning
50. although I somewhat enjoy cooking
51. though I'm not a gourmet cook
52. and I love to eat
53. especially all things chocolate
54. or seafood
55. or mexican
56. or chinese
57. but pizza is probably still my favorite
58. and I love an ice cold soda
59. but my all time favorite is my coffee with flavored creamer
60. which I only drink in the afternoon and not the morning
61. because I "gave up" morning Joe sometime ago
62. but I do enjoy a nice hot cup of tea in the morning
63. although I don't enjoy mornings
64. and I don't enjoy structure
65. and I don't enjoy routine
66. however I am working on improving these things
67. while learning to accept the person God created me to be
68. which can be hard when you struggle with comparisons
69. and struggle with thinking way too much
70. and get annoyed hearing yourself talk too much
71. although I do love to talk
72. and I love to encourage others
73. because I really do love people
74. and I don't view anyone as a stranger
75. because I have no hesitation in striking a conversation with anyone
76. although I do quite often stick my foot in my mouth
77. and usually have one of "those" story's to tell
78. but it is ok because I love to laugh and
79. especially love laughing with friends
80. and I love laughing with my kids
81. because I think kids can be incredibly funny
82. although I often laugh inappropriately because of stress
83. which I often am stressed
84. even though I am very laid back
85. and do enjoy being spontaneous
86. which can lead to the procrastination I often struggle with 
87. although I am actually motivated by last minute pressure
88. which wouldn't happen if I would plan
89. or get organized
90. which I am in my head
91. however I can be organized when I need to be
92. and I can be very motivated
93. but I am not motivated to have a career
94. although I once had high career ambitions
95. when I was in college and got my degree in Health Information Management
96. and wanted to double major in Communications
97. and almost minored in music
98. because I loved school
99. but I have no dreams or ambitions of going back now.
100. because I love being right where I am.
