30 things you may not know about me

I read another blog that had a list like this and got to thinking do I have 30 things? hmmmm....

1. I click when I sleep (my husband says it sounds like a ping pong match)
2. I love animals but hate that they shed
3. I love candlelight. I love to get up early in the morning and do my devotions iwth a cup of coffee or tea and candlelight.
4. I like who I am when no one is around. I don't like myself when others are around-brings out my impatience and lack of self control.
5. At 11 pm something comes over me and I have no control over the amount of chocolate I eat.
6. I love the sound of water (rain, streams, bathtub).
7. I love to read cookbooks
8. I usually have 5 books I am reading at a time-slowly.
9. I love fiction books but think they are a waste of time considering our limited time on earth so I read the Bible or other Christian/Bible based books.
10. With the above statement about a waste of time....I am addicted to reading blogs. Well, not addicted but enjoy reading them (about once a month, it fuels my creativity).
11. My favorite blogs are Jenny Hodges, Mary Koester and Rebekah Gregg.
12. I love quick result craft projects.
13. I love paper: stationary, colored paper, etc.
14. My favorite website is Family Fun
15. Wish I were less uptight
16. Wish I could let the house get messy
17. I love going on walks
18. I love picking fruit and vegetables and cooking with them
19. I'd love to own an RV
20. I would love to just get into a fight someday to see what I was really made of (I'm sure I'd walk away crying after the first punch-I can dish it but can't take it)
21. I start day dreaming if you talk for more than 2 minutes.
22. I hate to talk on the phone, unless your name is Jenny Bagby
23. I cannot end a sentence. "...soooooo........"
24. I don't like being the new person
25. I play the piano but would love to play the drums
26. I have a 2nd soprano voice but can only sing melody so I screech at most songs.
27. I love hip hop old school "It takes two to make a thing go right..."
28. I love beach music and love to dance (NC term "shag" not European term in this sense). I also love Tony Bennett and Harry Connick, Jr., Brad Paisley and Tim McGraw.
29. I love to swim but don't do it much because I hate to fix my hair and also I hate how cold I get when I get out of the pool
30. I love to explore new places I've never been

I don't have my contacts in so I will spell check later.

Glory!
