25 Random Things About Me

**This was originally posted on facebook which explains all the comments about facebook.

Ok - here you go...in no particular order:

  1. I love being a mom. It’s the most rewarding “job” on earth. I just never would have imagined that I would be a single mother – but we do just fine. I cannot imagine life without him.

  2. I am a big fan of English. I like grammar and discussions about it – for example: when to use their, there, and they’re.

  3. I love to write. This includes everything from collegiate essays to blogs. I hope that I never lose my ability to express my thoughts and feelings through words.

  4. If I post something on facebook with a typo or grammatical error - I will generally delete the post and repost with everything typed correctly.

  5. I am extremely hard on myself. I always think my photographs could have turned out better, or my designs could be stronger. I seldom hang my own art in my house because I would constantly be critiquing it.

  6. T is six and I already dislike some of his choices in music. One of his favorite bands is Nickelback – and while I like some of their music…some of it is just too heavy (i.e.: the song “Animals”).

  7. I very rarely listen to the radio. Most of the music I listen to is from artists I found on Myspace Music. Most people have never heard of the artists I listen to.

  8. In addition to a medical doctor and a dentist, I think that everyone should have a chiropractor and psychologist in their medical entourage. The world would be a better place.

  9. I have an extensive collection of inspirational quotes…44 pages in a Word document to be exact.

  10. I have a tendency to over analyze everything.

  11. I watch the Super Bowl every year for the commercials. I do not care who plays or who wins.

  12. Hi, My name is Katie and I am a Diet Cokeaholic. haha I love Diet Coke.

  13. Given the opportunity to go through junior high and high school all over again…I wouldn’t do it. I am amazed at how disrespectful some of those people still are.

  14. I love facebook. I could be considered an addict.

  15. I wish I could have a pet cat. I love cats and will someday have another one. Hopefully it will like to cuddle as much as Pudge did.

  16. I hate being sick…but I hate it even more when T is sick

  17. I love dying my hair. It’s like therapy for me. Having said that - my hair is currently my natural hair color and I recently realized that it will be this color until after my sister’s wedding in July.

  18. I’m excited for my sister’s wedding on July 18th (perfect one for #18). It will be my first time being a bridesmaid and I even get to be one of the maids of honor!

  19. I love shopping. I am really good at hitting the clearance sections and rarely pay full price for clothing. I once walked out of Maurices with 4 shirts, 2 purses and a necklace for under $30!

  20. I gained a lot of weight as a side-effect of medication I take…I wish I wouldn’t have gotten that particular side-effect.

  21. I am claustrophobic (using the definition: any kind of temporary feeling of being closed in or unable to escape). For me…this can even pertain to being “stuck” in a necklace or bracelet. I will feel like I am going crazy until the object is removed.

  22. I often wish that I would have had another child when T was about 2. I think T would be a lot less bored if he had someone to play and fight with.

  23. I love spending time with my family. We always have so much fun when we get together. Playing Apples to Apples with them can make my stomach ache from laughter.

  24. I would rather be cold than hot. My kitchen window can be found open randomly throughout the winter.

  25. I am surprised at some of the people who tagged me in their 25 Random Things but I am glad they thought of me. I have thoroughly enjoyed reading them.
