Twenty-Five On Tuesday

Just some randomness for you....

I enjoy doing these things from time to time.  Why?  Glad you asked. ;)  I think it is because it makes me think of things that I feel are a little quirky about me.  I like when others have quirky things in common with me.  And, I enjoy sharing myself with others in hopes that they will share with me!!! Tell me some random things about yourself or let me know if you learn something about me that you didn't already know!!!

1.  I love all things peanut butter and chocolate!
2.  I was born in Harlingen, Texas, lived in Texas for 14 years, moved to Arkansas for 11 years and have been back in Texas now for 10 years but still claim to "be from" Arkansas.  
3.  I have never been out of the country.
4.  I absolutely HATE the sound of styrofoam!!
5.  I have only been to the beach a handful of times.
6.  I cannot stand anything between my toes (flip flops are an exception).
7.  I always wanted 3 kids - 2 girls and a boy.  
8.  I am INCREDIBLY sensitive and get my feelings hurt easily.
9.  I am an over-thinker.
10.  I really LOVE the subject of English. 
11.  I enjoy writing.
12.  It is rare for me to finish a book or complete a Bible study.
13.  I do not like whip cream.
14.  I can spot a spelling mistake from a mile away.
15.  I am a perfectionist.
16.  I have very high expectations of others.
17.  The older I get, the more I realize that I am more introverted than I once thought.
18. I do not like my food to touch on my plate.
19. I don't "let go" of things very easily.  Not in an unforgiving way but I think about things for a very very long time.  
20.  I love my friends fiercely. I am very protective and loyal.
21.  I have a tendency to be very insecure which can lead to self-centered thinking.
22.  I think the perfect temperature is about 74 degrees.
23.  I collect Willow Tree figurines.
24.  One of my most favorite things in the entire world is receiving cards in the mail.
25.  Words of Affirmation and Receiving Gifts are my dominant love languages closely followed by Quality Time.

Taking notes... ;)

And PB m&ms are my favorite, so maybe we need to bring a 5 lb bag with us this weekend?!

Friends...Forever!

What is a friend?  Webster defines a friend as: a person whom one knows, likes, and trusts. It goes on to talk about a friend being a supporter.  I would have the tendency to assume that everyone has at least one friend...maybe not a best friend or perhaps maybe not even a close friend but someone that they can call a friend.  I know that difference personality types lend themselves for more friends than others.  I am a sanguine which means that I have a lot of people that I consider to be my friend.  I have always been the type of person that needs and wants friends...people around me who love me, encourage me, and support me.  On the flip side of this, I have always had a hard time trusting people so I tend to be skeptical of people.  Unfortunately, a friend described me pretty accurately this morning.  She said that I (and she is the same way) have the tendency to dislike people until I have a reason to like them.  No, not proud of it...but I am just skeptical.  I have been hurt

Replace My Complaining Attitude

If you know anything about me, you know that I am blunt.  I am straight-forward, to the point, and to a fault, honest.  This is something that I have often wanted to change about myself.  Let's face it, there are things about each one of us that we would change, and let me be clear, there are MANY other things I would change but becoming more gentle has always been something I have longed for. I have had people tell me that I should be proud of this.  They wish they could be more assertive like me.  I guess there are good points to this type of characteristic but more times than not, I find myself getting into trouble because of it.   Piggy-backing on that character istic  flaw is the fact that I am a complainer.  I would rather whisper that but again, if you know me, you probably didn't fall in the floor in disbelief that I just typed that.  It is hard to admit.  It is hard to tell a world (okay a few people) that read this that I complain.  How off-putting is that?  I g

FUN STUFF!!

Image
We have had a fun couple of days! I worked on July 4th and Rachel and Daddy stayed home doing nothing...I think they enjoyed it! Saturday was pretty uneventful.....we went to Target and bought some containers so that I could put all of my clothes away that are TOO BIG!!! YAY!! It was also a sneaky way to allow my husband to see that I really don't have too many clothes!!! None of them fit! =) Sunday was church and we came back here and relaxed all day. Here is a picture of Rachel from Sunday. Rachel's dress was adorable....went to her ankles.... Brice had yesterday off too so we all went to Hawaiian Falls waterpark in Mansfield for a little water fun after Rachel's nap. It was a lot of fun except for the part where I fell down the stairs leading into the lazy river and in an attempt to keep my child's head above water (I was holding her), I tumbled down about 4 stairs, twisted my ankle, hit my knee, and scraped up the side of my leg all while swallowing a lot of water.
