So I decided to post random things about me that I don't think I have posted before. If I did, I'm banking on you forgetting them and needing to be reminded. ;)

* When I am driving I talk to the other drivers annoying me and tell them what I think they shold be doing. They never hear me and rarely follow my fabulous directions.

* I struggle with some yucky, stupid, annoying health problems, but when people ask how I'm doing I say I"m doing good. This is not a lie. I base that on that I am feeling good and usually better than most with my health issues. Also the fact that I am out of bed and talking to ya, so that's good in my book.

* I wash my laundry in this order- whites, light colors, darks, hubs work clothes, light/white towels, dark towels- always.

* I need more clothes than any of my kids, but I like to buy my kids clothes. We end up giving a lot of Tree Monkey's clothes away because she has too many for her to take care of.

* I love to watch HGTV. There is no violence and no hurting others. It's my feel good channel.

* I took auto shop in high school and for several years after worked on my own vehicle and on the vehicles of my guy friends.

* I don't work on my car anymore.

* As a teen and young adult I had to be tough. I developed a thick skin and a skill for writing that could hurt others if I wanted it to.

*I have worked to tame my writing skill and use it for more positive endeavors rather than hurting those that have hurt me.

* I am so grateful that my hubs has provided a life for me that doesn't require me being a tough broad. I love that I can be a lady and be strong in different ways.

* I have discovered digital scrap booking and love it.

* I love to take my family to Disneyland. I don't think I would like Disneyland without them.

* I have a firm belief that the kids I work with are not bad kids, but good kids who have made poor choices given their circumstances.

* I hate the fact that my energy is low and I feel very fatigued much of the time. I want to be camping, hiking, and playing around with my kids and working in my yard.

* I play Barbies with my daughters. Well actually I love to set up the stores and houses and buy the cool stuff that they have now. My Barbies had soda bottle caps for plates and pans. Not miniature replicas of them.

* I hate pet hair all over my house, but I love my pets.

* I love to bake and cook.

* I don't like to clean up after cooking and cleaning.

* I love quotes that inspire us to do better and grow to be our best.

* I am very patriotic and get very angry and vocal with those who diss on my country. My motto is "don't let the door hit you in the butt on the way out" when you try to change what our faounding fathers set up.

* I also get pretty intense when you say negative things about the men and women who serve our country. They put their lives and mental health on the line and they deserve respect. In fact, if they did not provide the security and freedoms they do then people couldn't say the ridiculous things they say.

* I am a firm believer in LDS doctrine. I have had many experiences and have seen the truthfulness of most of the teachings through the challenges in my life.

* I consider my cousins my friends. I have great relationships with many of them and love to see them and talk with them.

* There is a lot of diversity in my family and extended family. I did not always, but I do now love and appreciate each individual for what they bring to my life and who they are. I think I see them more as the Lord does rather than the world.

* I love to drive fast. I speed on the freeway.

* I do not speed in town. I get angry when people drive too fast in school zones.

* I think that kids should be kids for 18 ish years. We have decades of being adults and less than 20 years to be kids.

* I play. Play is a healing language and it is the language that children speak. Ever wonder why kids are more resilient than adults? I believe it's because adults have forgotten to play or how to play.

* I am excited for my children to marry and begin their lives with their spouses. Currently Oldest is dating an amazing young lady. I really cannot express in words just how impressed I am with Monkey Moo. She is strong. Beautiful. Smart. I love her so much.

* I want a little dog that will sit in my lap. Why? I don't know.

* I twist my hair. Not because of nerves, but because I like the way it feels all soft and smooth.

* In my former life, later teens and early twenties, I taught Western Line Dancing and the Swing. I got paid to do this.

* I drove all the way to a beautiful town to meet Nancy Face and Busy Bee Lauren. I'm not a stalker. I had lived by Lauren's sister-in-law, Robin, and had met her other sister-in-law, Emily.

* I love snickers blizzards from dairy queen.

* I love to get massages. They hurt the whole time and then I feel good for a couple of weeks. They hurt because they are working out the trigger spots from my fibromyalgia.

* I can't believe I came up with all those random trivia points about me.
