25 Random Facts about ME

I know, I know...it has been months since I have posted anything. I don't have an excuse except that I just haven't been in the mood. Things here are crazy as usual. I honestly haven't taken a picture with my camera since probably November. As you all know, we may or may not be moving to another city this spring/early summer so we are in limbo right now. It's not the best feeling. It's really hard to plan when we don't know what's going to happen. It's just been a really weird couple of months. But I finally created my Random Facts list for my Facebook friends and so here it is below too. Enjoy and I hope you learn something about me that you didn't already know.

1. I cannot imagine my life without my husband, Jacob. He is my rock.

2. I absolutely cannot drive a car with shoes on. No matter what kind of shoes I have on, they have to come off when I drive.

3. I LOVE animals. I have picked up dozens of stray animals. I just can’t turn my back. I have either kept them as my own or found homes for them.

4. I am addicted to Diet Coke…no joke, I get headaches if I don’t get a hit.

5. I have watched Days Of Our Lives for 14 years. I DVR it every day. Some of my other favorites: American Idol, Dancing with the Stars and So You Think You Can Dance.

6. I have problems with my blood sugar. I have passed out several times in the past when I was younger before I knew how to handle it.

7. I love days off when I just get things done and feel so productive.

8. My husband and I found our dog, Toula, at a QuikTrip gas station in Westport. See #3. I love her SO much.

9. I hate, hate, hate cleaning dishes.

10. Riding horses is my passion. It is so freeing and relaxing to fly through a field completely in tune with a horse.

11. I love being a pharmacist in a retail pharmacy but at the same time I hate working in a retail pharmacy.

12. I own the series DVD set of Friends. I have watched the entire series from beginning to end at least 6 times.

13. Every Friday night, my husband and I have what we call Fiesta night. He makes a Mexican feast complete with homemade tortilla chips and margaritas and we watch Kath and Kim and The Office. I know, boring married people.

14. I have a hard time forgiving myself. I hang on to things that I have done in the past that I am not proud of and can’t let go.

15. I have to have a candle burning any time that I am at home. I just think the smell and the look of a flame is so relaxing.

16. I miss my girlfriends that I was so close to before I went to pharmacy school.

17. I can cry anytime, anywhere, about anything.

18. I am ready to have children.

19. I regret not having a good relationship with my brother when we were growing up. It’s getting better as we are getting older.

20. I hate being chased. It totally freaks me out…even when I know that it is my husband who is chasing me. I also hate being cold and being lost.

21. I can sleep just easily as I can cry. Pretty much, it’s my favorite pastime.

22. I don’t eat meat except for my husband’s chili, a really good steak or Kansas City BBQ.

23. I have 2 closets and 2 dressers full of clothes but I have nothing to wear.

24. My husband is twice my size and I like it.

25. I could eat queso dip with tortilla chips and French fries for every meal.

OK, how funny! #13 is great! The last two Fridays Jon and I have eaten out Mexican, and I tried to convince him tonight that we should make it a tradition "Mexican Fridays" I called it! Ok, so if you move to Columbia maybe we can combine our Mexican Fridays :) If we are invited of course! And #20 I totally agree with too. I hate being chased, especially up stairs. And tickled. It is my least favorite thing ever...it mostly pisses me off :)

Liz, thanks so much for the insight into your world! I'd love to stay updated about your future plans/the process in getting there...Benny and I are in a transition phase right now too, and it is DEFINITELY hard to stay patient and to trust in the Lord's faithfulness and HIS timing! I think I can hear a unanimous "RACHEL, TOO!" from Liz Horn about #17. :) As Benny would say, "It just means your heart works."
