1. Never tell me I can't do something because I'm a girl cause I'll do it or die trying yelling "I can too..." I'm a " do it yourself-er". I'm not gonna wait for my hubby to come home and save my ring from the drain. I mean are my arms painted on? -NO
!
2. I love to take pictures and make them pretty in Adobe Photoshop. (Pretty to me that is...)
3. I hate to ask for help, even when it's just a pickle jar. If I asked you once, I probably will not ask you again. I'll find someone else to help me, I know prideful me...4.

8. I am huge about doing fun stuff with my kids. Going places, crafts, playing catch whatever. I never promise something and then NOT do it! That is a HUGE pet peeve.

21. I love country music!
22. Me and Tres's song is "Come Crying to me" by Lonestar. Not the most romantic but It was a perfectly timed song that came on the radio when we were dating.
23. I turned Tres to the dark side of listening to country music too.
24. I once ran myself over in morning rush hour while I was pregnant, and I was the one driving!!! I stalled the car and the only way to start it was to do a cross over to the started with a screwdriver, but I left the car in first gear!! Did anyone stop to help, NO!
25. I lock myself out of cars more than anyone I know! I did it once on Halloween at a Peter Piper Pizza with the kids right as it was getting dark. The kids were not happy...
26. In high school I used to ride my bike 10 miles for fun every other day.
27. I hurt my finger in a game of basketball keep away with Brenden Potter. When I put my hand on the table my fingerprint was pointing out side ways. The librarian told me it looked normal to him. I was broke.28. I once was treated by a vet.

32. My mom had a baby 2 years after I had my first.

34. I once sewed a 6 over sized pillows with decorative cording and 2 large draperies for a customer I never met. The material was a velvet 2 side print. She tried to explain how she wanted it but in the end ALL of it was sewn inside out! I had to unpick it all and redo it.
35. I worked with horses growing up because my best friends mom had some she kept secret from her husband for a month or two. Finally she told him and they kept them. I got to help break them in. I used to be able to hop on and ride bareback. (which was a feat, Scarlet is a tall Tennessee walker...)
36. I have never touched the ocean or even been to the beach! Never had the opportunity.
37. I was once caught by the police at age 13 trying to climb the fence at Neely Elm so we could swing on the swings. I say 'caught' because they walked up just as I got stuck in the fence.
38. Once as a kid I went to answer the door as the door handle was shaking. I opened it at a drunk old lady was there trying to come in. I couldn't understand her because she didn't speak English. The police came and found she was getting drunk on mouth wash and perfume. She thought she lived at our house.
39. I once found a drug needle in our front yard.
40. As a kid I never wore shoes making #39 that much more freaky!

43. A neighbor who was babysitting me as a kid asked me to taste some of her breast milk. (a drop on her finger... weird lady)
44. I have never had a drop of alcohol my whole life. My friend once tried to give me some and called it Gatorade... yeah Gatorade that smells like it could burn out your eyes? I'm not an idiot.
45. My parents wouldn't buy us a costume for Halloween one year so I got a big box out of the recycle and put wrapping on it and cut out holes. I went as a Christmas present.
46. Trisha and I once made the funniest commercial of all time: We dressed up as hobos and pretended to use "Touch of Garbage Cologne". "Cologne for classier bums, like us." We had to do like 3 takes because we couldn't stop laughing.47. I am famous for giving people nicknames or using them. Many are not original but among them are: Kristina: Kristina
Laughing Hyena, Jeanne: NAE-Fart, Gabrielle: Goose, Jacob: Jacobian Myers, Trisha: Troodles & Turtle wax, Bonnie: Bub-a-chub, Grant: Granty panties, Corn Wallace: Corny Corn dog, Abigail: Abigailly goat & Abby crabby patty formula, My Dad: Dad-a-lad, My Mom: Mother unit, Zack: Zack-er-randa, Tres: TEE-race, Ben: Benni Hill, Mckenzie: Kinzy-koo koo, & Sage's dog Toby: Toby the woo woo. (I've never said it to thier face but also: Holly: Holly berry, Tyler: Tye of Ler, Craig: Craig-a-leg, Sage: Sage-a-roni, Sarah: sar-eye)48. I'm famous for making up words for example: Woodles= privates, wonkeling= other people making love, crud-a-ninny= not good
49. I'm also famous for my wacky phrases that I might say in place of cool, wow, or crap: "shy monkey", "Pillow bob", "Macaroni salad", "Paranormal psychic", "Farmigarmina", "Wakaroony", "Jimuney Christmas", "Corn Wallace" (actually how my dog got his name...), "boo boo chicken" "Pickle pop", "chickenhead", "Pheromone factory", "Pickled chickens", "Maricopa", "barnacles" (not original), "chicken children".
50. I do not really enjoy chocolate. I told people in High School I was allergic so they would drop the subject when I said I didn't want their chocolate bars or brownies. A plain chocolate bar is as interesting as sugar coated dirt. Everything tastes good with sugar but it's still dirt. Dark chocolate will make me hurl. 3 musketeers are flippin sick! (the bad sick not the good sick)
51. I HATE watermelon flavored anything! Love real watermelons though...
52. I cant spell! I have a plethora of inane, vernacular vocabulary in my cerebral lexicon just do not ask me to spell them.... ever! no, really.... for real... thank heaven for spell check!
53. I am annoyed by fiction books and would never read them. I spent my whole childhood reading them and never got much smarter. (excepting C.S. Lewis's The lion, the witch and the wardrobe which I love!) I need to stuff my brain with medical books, spiritual books, and how to books, don't ask me why. Maybe, I'm just keeping it real!
54. Growing up I was boy crazy 24/7. Please don't make me count all the guys I dated, kissed or wish I had. Now that I'm married I'm Tres crazy. I call him all the time, talk talk talk to him all the time, express to him that I believe in him, Laugh even when I'm flaming mad at him, tell him I missed him when he comes home like everyday, hug him and kiss him all the time. Call him up and ask him if this isn't 100% true. I err on the side of annoying. I remember he said once that he has never once in all of our 10 years of marriage wondered if I loved him. (don't get me wrong if I'm sick, tired or pregnant I'm evil to him too, sadly...)
55. I have no pride/dignity. Want me to dance like a Greek, I'll dance and make a fool of myself. Want me to go to yoga class, I'll go even when I'm twice the size of the women there. Want me to Sing in church, I'll do it even if it's not in my range. Need to drop by with out a call, go ahead, my house is a mess but that's life... well you get my point.
56. I love to talk. I love to tell about all the crazy things I've seen done or had happen to me. My life is an open book for better or worse. *but I can keep a secret, thank goodness*
57. Ask Tres if I am a clutz... If you are near me you are in danger...
56. I love life! I am so happy to be alive! I thank God nearly every night for everyday I have on this earth.
57. I can not make a decision on anything with out asking Tres first. I know that sounds like he's controlling but I need to know what he thinks, even if it's just dinner. He has been known to say,"Can't you make these decisions on your own".
58. Tres and I hate PDA. You are lucky in deed if you see Tres and I kiss. When we dated we used up all our PDA now it seems rude and yucky.
59. Once I gave a hitchhiker a ride. It was like 3 years ago. Wish I could do that more but we live in scary times.
60. I weird out friends, family and neighbors by telling my kids something was "Satan's way" or "Jesus' way" or that they are making "bad choices."
61. I hated babysitting growing up. I thought babies were cute but I didn't want to have anything to do with their care. Now I love them all!
62. I am addicted to discovery health shows (as long as they are not talking about intimacy.) My kids have seen more guts than any butcher.
63. I have a problem called Wilson's temperature syndrome. A normal person can wake up about a degree or two lower than normal and you can use your basal body temperature to determine if you are ovulating or not. Well I wake up at 95 degrees. And you know how if you are one degree over normal you feel bad, it's the same with being under. Hence I am not a morning person (or at least that's my story). It is associated with low thyroid levels which I also have... fun times!
64. I have kept a journal since I was eight. Not always that wonderfully but I do have 3 or 4 filled books now. I have started one for each of my kids. When they get old enough I ask them to tell me what to write. Abigail and Grant say some funny things....
65. I tried to put out a ring of molten plastic flowers that were on fire on my entertainment center while a visiting teacher was over BY quickly licking my hand and smashing it out. 2nd and 3rd burns are not exactly something you can laugh off... "oh, uh I'm fine..."
66. My life is better than comedy. Example: One day during Abigail's potty training I found her in the bathroom with the dog. Corny was licking the mess up for me while Abby was getting brown on just about everything. As I proceed to save the situation, in cruises 1 1/2 year old Grant. He really wants to play in it. I grab him and the dog and put them in the front room, out of harm's way. As I'm cleaning, I hear a weird noise and go back out to see the dog barf and grant bee lining it towards it. So I shove the dog out in the front yard and shut the door and scoop up grant. I finally clean up both messes, let the puppy back in the house and end with both kids in the tub just in time to get a phone call from Tres saying that we are going to feed the missionaries in 2 hours...
67. I (age 23) once dressed up as Harry Potter for Halloween.
68. I (age 9) once tried to feed a neighborhood kid "Levi" cat poop and said it was chocolate.
69. I (age 9) once found a skinned black cat coat and bones the week before Halloween. I later realized my hunting neighbor was much weirder than we all knew...
70. I was once rammed by a billy goat (age 10) right in the crotch... thank goodness I'm not a guy!
71. I sang a solo in last years production of The Messiah. It's not Christmas with out those songs.
72. I HATE haunted houses!! I once snuck out with a boyfriend in High school to one called Silo X, it was sooo scary!
74. I don't do sea food. I can barely gulp down a shrimp. Seafood breaded and baked I can handle.
75. I love to drive, probably because I didn't get my license till I was 18.
76. I hate going to the movies on a date. It's expensive, people talking, the occasional pop corn flying, and you don't get to talk to your hubby.
77. I try to never eat at McDonald's or BK as a rule of thumb. If you want to hear my STD analogy email me...
78. I once as a kid swallowed my tooth while eating a crunchy taco.
79. As a kid we were told about Santa not being real. My parents thought if they lied to us as kids then they would become untrustworthy. I made sure I told all my friends my age and younger about the hoax. Many parents were not amused.
80.
I once watched in horror as my Father, Husband and Father in law were at gun point. At first glance I thought it was a joke but after a second I realized it was no joke. I took a picture of undercover police busting a guy named Nick for a horrific crime. What you can see from the photo is Nick about to draw his gun and end his own life. What you don't see is behind my family on the right is 2 more police officers with guns drawn. If Craig had not been able to talk him down they all could have been caught in cross fire. If my dad had had his gun on him (rare that he didn't) it could have ended bad since we thought they were just hunters and not police.81. I lost 30 lbs in 2007 and at the end of the year I got pregnant with Kaden and you guessed it, I gained it all back. Gotta love pregnancy.
82. I used to love going to dances with Fawn because only she and Marie had the guts to get out there and really dance. They taught me how and I had so much fun. A few times we had a crowd circle around.83. I can still to this day toss a flag around. My favorite is the helicopter (I learned in High school) but then you catch it with your leg behind your back. (I learned that part in Jester Drum & Bugle Corp.)
84. I love animals. I wish I had a farm. I'll settle with my 4 chickens, a duck, and a dog.
85. I love to swim, and referring to #55, I'll go just about any where in a swim suit and shorts.
86. I have been present for 9 births. 4 Mine, 2 Kristina, 2 my mom and 1 Holly. I love it! ( Which explains #62 & #12.)
87. People say you shouldn't live with other people once your married but since we've been married we have lived with 7 different people off and on through the years: Diane, Craig, Tyler, Holly, Ian, Kristina, & Bonnie.
88. I know it's corny but I love poetry! I love to read it (mostly Robert Frost) I love to write it and I love to sing it because most songs are poetry set to music. Love it, Love it, Love it!
89. I love romantic comedies! Return to Me, My Big Fat Greek Wedding, Hitch, 2 Weeks Notice, Groundhog Day, Bewitched, Sense and Sensibility, Over board & No Reservations are great films!
90. I once (age 9) asked my dad if I could pierce my ears. He was on the phone so he said yes and waved me off to tell me to leave. I came back to show him how proud of my safety pin piercings and his eyes about fell out of his head. He made me take them out.
91. When I was 5 I was on a t-ball team called the Tooth Fairies. One day at practice I was out on the field and I started to go blind. Luckily my Grandpa Colvin was there watching me and told me to come over to him. When he saw that I could barely see he came and took my hand and had me sit in the shade with my head between my knees. When my sight came back I was so relieaved. I miss him dearly. He never missed a game.
92. When I was 4 or five my Grandma Freda was watching me once. I looked out the window to watch my Grandpa Edsil working hard out on his farm with the horses. I said to grandma, "I'm going to marry him someday."93. I've never had to knock on wood but...Once on a trip up to Utah I was driving with Teresa. I bragged to her that Tres has had 3 tickets and Craig has had a million tickets but I have only had 1 ticket my whole life and somehow never get pulled over. 1 hour later... I get pulled over.
94. I love to garden! I know most of the native plants due to a horticulture class, landscaping class and an agriculture class in High School. (Our high school was well off funding wise.)
95. I used to collect pokemon cards to trade with my cub scouts. (At least that was my story. I did have a first edition Machamp... sad I know...) If I ever have my own planet it will not be complete with out a pikachu. (Funny for how much I hate mice.)
96. I love the group, "They might be Giants". They have catchy tunes and 
they teach you. When they came out with kids songs I thought this is to good to be true... "Zero's mean so much..."
97. One day when Grant was about 9 months old and barely crawling Tres wanted to come from the pound with a pit bull. After pitching a huge fit I went down to the pound to check him out. He was just a little puppy but he knocked me down and took off through all the inner workings of the pound. I decided to give up our $25 deposit on him. That night I came home to see that our neighbor got the cutest puppy ever, Jessie. I told Tres that was the dog I wanted. I sent him to (Butt Freaking Egypt) Goodyear to pick up her Brother. My neighbor's father bought their 
other brother, Cash. Then Jessie had pupies and Bonnie's Best friend Sarah bought one of the puppies, Gabriel.
99. The very first ticket I ever had: The officer sees a big Van wiz by and pulls it over. Inside he finds a 9 month pregnant woman on her way from her student mentoring job to pick up her husband with a Quaker Parrot "Popeye" on her shoulder. Then she tell him she just happens to know his fellow officer (Kristina's Dad) Ron Emary. She takes 1o of the longest minutes ever to find the registration. (I'm sure he quit his job the next day for something less annoying...)
100. The afore mentioned Ron is very meticulous about his lawn. I once decided to take a short cut through Ron's lawn when someone parked behind me in their long country driveway. Little did I know that they had just irrigated. My tire tracks were there for like 3 months!! I was sure he was going to sic his police K9 on me! I could have died!
My personality color:
#F8F8FF |
Your dominant hue is blue, making you a good friend who people love and trust. You're good in social situations and want to fit in. Just be careful not to compromise who you are to make them happy. Your saturation level is very low - you have better things to do than jump headfirst into every little project. You make sure your actions are going to really accomplish something before you start because you hate wasting energy making everyone else think you're working. Your outlook on life is very bright. You are sunny and optimistic about life and others find it very encouraging, but remember to tone it down if you sense irritation. |
