I like to play with words. Whether it be spoonerisms, alliteration, homonyms, or rhymes, I love word play!

As a matter of fact, I play with words so often that I sometimes do it on accident. Actually, let’s be honest hear, I frequently do it on accident, especially woonerizing spords! 🙂

So, if ever I say something somewhat silly and senseless, just assume I am having one of my accidental (or intentional) word play moments! Either weigh, it’s lots of fun!

This is one of those rare occasions when my husband made it to bed quite early (before the kids, even!). Because of this, I have been up alone doing my evening routine. As much as I love time spent with my husband, tonight has reminded me of #20 on my list of things about me.

I like time to myself. This is a hard one even for me to believe! I usually thrive on being around other people, but every once in a while I am forced to spend some time alone. It is during these times that I discover how much I truly needed it!

My lips don’t turn up when I smile. As a matter of fact, it is not uncommon for them to actually turn down when I smile. But even when I am not smiling my “lips turned down” smile, my lips are just straight. Do you think that is odd?

I would love feedback on these things about me. As a matter of fact, some nights I sit here racking my brain for ideas on what to share with you about me. Does anybody have a suggestion or specific question about me you want to ask? This may be  your only chance. Feel free to comment here to ask.

I like to help, but I don’t know how! I know that sounds weird, but it is true. I have a huge desire within my heart to reach out and help others. Unfortunately,I have to be told what needs to be done to help. I want details so that I do it right, but by the time I get all the details, it would have been easier for the one giving the details to have done the task instead of telling me how to do it.

I am getting better at noticing what needs to be done and just doing it, but I always have that fear in the back of my mind that  it will be done all wrong, and that I wasn’t a help after all. And around and around we go!

I highly dislike laundry, but I insist on doing it. I am weird about my laundry. I don’t like doing it but would rather do it than have someone else do it wrong. Yes, it is crazy, but it seems to be the story of my life.

I would rather do all the work myself than take the time to teach someone else to do it. Yes, this needs to change. Now that I have 5 children, it really HAS to change. It has to change for my sake, but most importantly, for the sake of my children. They must learn to do all these things that I do in order to do for themselves in the future, and I have to learn to accept a less than perfect job as they are learning. 😐

Does anyone else struggle with this one?

I like to travel. We just went on a vacation that most people would consider insane! We flew to Las Vegas, not to gamble but because it is the cheapest place to fly into.  Then we left Vegas and headed on a road trip covering Nevada, California, Utah, Wyoming, Nebraska, Kansas, Colorado, New Mexico, and Arizona.

We drove quite a bit on this trip, but I had a blast! We even discovered by experience when each of us could stay awake the longest and settled into a pattern of driving. Now, due to this heavy duty driving vacation, I have now visited 40 states!!

Believe it or not, I thoroughly enjoyed myself and the time I got to spend with my husband on our vacation! Of course, it had to end eventually, and I must say that I am looking forward to getting back into a regular routine! Tomorrow I get to jump in with both feet!

By the way, you will be hearing more about this trip, even if it means I have to interrupt my 100 things posts! But don’t worry! I have missed blogging and have a lot to share with you! Stay tuned…….

I could never bungee jump, sky dive, cliff dive, or do anything involving jumping off a high surface. I guess you could say I am not an adventurous person, but I just call it good sense. 🙂

Seriously, my idea of adventure is speaking in public or playing a board game that I just might lose (which describes about any game in existence). Of course, I will now contradict myself and say that despite my lack of adventure, I absolutely love theme parks, including roller coasters that go upside down!

Now, are you good and confused? Good! I like it that way! 😉

When I was 18, I went on a summer mission trip to California. I was way outside my shy comfort zone, but I realized that my comfort zone needed to shift. It was on this trip to California in 1996 that brought me out of my extreme shyness. So now I can say, “I used to be very shy. Now you can’t get me to stop talking!”
