I got this from Natalie's blog and just thought I would do it as well. So here goes 100 things about me...
1. I get very anxious in crowds
2. I love to shop and often spend more money than I should on things which drives Ron crazy because he never likes to buy anything.
3. I love to give things to my friends and family, it makes me feel good about myself and I never expect anything in return.
4. I really love making things and really wish I had my own sewing machine so that I could make fun stuff for everyone.
5. I just taught myself to knit in august and have been getting much better and attempting to make an afghan right now for my couch.
6. I am a neat person by nature but have a hard time keeping my house in order when I'm the only one doing all the cleaning and everyone else is doing all the messing. So usually my house is a disaster area, and I'm not kidding.
7. I'm very neurotic when I clean and it usually takes me a while to do it because I keep going from one thing to the other instead of starting and finishing one thing at a time. I'll be cleaning up the living room and then take something to put it away upstairs and then I'll start cleaning up there and it goes like that.
8. I'm a very nervous driver and am scared to drive on the freeway. I was in a lot of car accidents growing up and I hate parking lots especially.
9. I have severe depression and have since I was a teenager.
10. I LOVE to read and like to just curl up with a book on my couch and shut out the world for a little while. I've been an avid reader since I was a child. Reading is one of my favorite things ever!!
11. I am a proud liberal and often feel out of place in ultra conservative Utah, when my views and opinions are so different from my friends.
12. I love eating swiss cheese and pretzels together and think it's one of the greatest combinations ever
13. I haven't left my house in 5 days, no joke
14. I was born in a small town in FL and moved to Ca when I was 14 and have only been living in Utah for a year and 1/2
15. Ron and I are not married, though everyone calls him my husband and most of the time so do I. One of these days we'll get married, we'll run off to Vegas and elope.
16. Annie was the only baby I planned, both Emi and Eden were complete surprises, especially Emi. I wasn't ready to become a mother and was actually horrified when I found out I was pregnant but I'm glad that I did, I love being a mother.
17. I love baking and sharing my cookies with my friends and neighbors
18. I was never a big fan of sugar and sweets until I got pregant with Emi then I became a chocoholic and can't seem to flip the switch off again.
19. I'm still trying to lose the 50 lbs I've gained having children, although, I was at my heaviest when I was pregant with Annie and have lost 30 lbs since then I still have 50 more to go. Sigh.
20. I love breastfeeding, I think it's wonderful. I breastfed both Emi and Annie till the were 14 months old and plan on doing the same with Eden. I think that people who think breastfeeding is gross and unnatural are crazy and don't know why someone would willing choose to formula feed their baby.
21. I am a huge fan of co sleeping and have done it with all my children. I do not believe in getting up in the middle of the night and going into another room to feed the baby when you can just roll over and put them to feed and go right back to sleep.
22. I love colors and tend to buy a lot of eye shadow that I don't use and nail polish just because I like the color.
23. I don't iron, I don't even own an iron or an ironing board for that matter.
24. I love helping people in whatever way I can, though, in the past I've been overly generous and have let people walk all over me.
25. I have a hard time saying no to people and often feel very guitly when I do.
26. I love, love, love flannel sheets and use them in summer and winter.
27. I can't stand being late for things and always try to be on time which is hard because Ron is late for everything.
28. I've been known to be lazy
29. I love to sleep and miss the time when I could sleep till noon every day. Sleep is one of my favorite things.
30. I died my hair black when I was 16
31. My hair right now is the longest it's ever been in my life, Iused to keep my hair bobbed or in an a line when I was younger and thinner.
32. I'm going to donate my hair to locks of love once it's long enough.
33. I'm a very sensitive person and am easily effected by others emotions. I don't watch the news or read the news paper because it makes me cry.
34. I love jewelery but hardly ever wear it. I buy it and usually end up giving it away because I think it would suit someone else better.

40. I can't stand hipocrisy, inequality or meanness or any kind. It makes me so angy.
41. I often have a hard time making up my mind about things, like when choosing a color for something or deciding what I want to eat a resturants. This drives Ron insane.
42. I still don't know what I want to do with my life, and really envy people who grew up with a clear cut path knowing exactly what they wanted to do and who they wanted to be.

47. I have hyperhidrosis, which means that my hands and feet sweat a lot. I hate this and am very embarassed by it and rarely tell people. I plan on getting surgery to stop it when I am done nursing Eden.
48. The thought of surgery terrifies me. So do emergency c sections and I am so very greatful that I never had to have one. I was there for my sisters emergency c section, with her first child and it scared me to death.
49. I am a very emotional person and tend to lose my head in emergency situations. I tend to freak out, I have a very hard time dealing with tragic events.
50. I've had to call 911 twice in my life, both times were for Annie haveing seizures. The first time I thought she was chocking to death and didn't figure out till afterwards that it was a seizure. The second time was last Dec at Emi's 3 birthday party Annie had a seizure in the right after dinner. There's nothing worse than watching your child have a seizure for 2 hours...
51. I would die for my children.
52. My biggest fear is that I'll die while my children are still really young and that they wouldn't remember me when the grew up. I think that is so sad and cry just thinking about it.
53. I'm very close with my mom and sister and miss them excruciatingly. They live in Ca still, and I have a step sister who lives in Alaska.

82. I worked in a vets office for awhile when I was 18, I loved working with the animals but couldn't handle working there after having severl animals die in front of me or in my hands. I would go home and cry for hours.
