More Randomness About Me

It's time for the next edition of Random Stuff About Me.

1. The first movie I can remember seeing in the theater is The Jetsons.

2. Speaking of movies, the weirdest things I ever sneaked in were: a GIANT pixie stick which I tucked in my sock and in ran up the inside of my jeans. And also, rolls from Texas Roadhouse.

3. One time when my sister Erica and I were driving around, I ran over a laundry basket with my car, and it got stuck underneath.

4. I've locked my keys in the car probably 7 or 8 times. Locked myself out of the house twice. And locked my keys in the garage once. I have a problem.

5. After probably 15 -20 years of stomach problems,  I finally got diagnosed with diverticulosis. Amazingly it hasn't turned into diverticulitis, and hopefully won't. After I cut out nuts and popcorn I haven't had an "attack" since I was diagnosed in September.

6. I still have 3 wisdom teeth. They need to be removed, but unless they hurt, ain't nobody got the time or money for that.

7. Laughter is my coping mechanism. I laugh way too many things off, but it's how I get by.

8. I tend to start projects and never finish them because I get bored or frustrated.

9. I have no idea what I want to be when I "grow up".

10. I do feel a very strong calling from God to go on another mission trip. Right now I am just waiting to see when and where that might be. Maybe soon, maybe in several years. Just waiting on His timing.

11. I am an introvert with random days of feeling semi-extroverted.

12. I used to be really embarrassed when I did stupid things in front of other people. As I've gotten older I've learned to laugh it off more and embrace my awkwardness.

13. Movies I've watched over and over again include: Bridesmaids, You've Got Mail, While You Were Sleeping, Christmas Vacation, Sweet Home Alabama, The Notebook and Remember the Titans.

14. I had FOUR imaginary friends when I was little.

15. If I could spend a day with any celebrity it would be Ellen.

16. I have never smoked and never will.

17. We did have cable until I was a teenager and then I also did have it when I lived on my own. My weird obsession was watching the same infomercials over and over again. I really wanted a Ginsu knife, a food dehydrator and a magic bullet. LOL!

18. I am obsessed with car seat safety. It used to bother me when people made comments like, "Well, I survived." or would make comments about me doing extended rear facing, but it's my thing. I read the facts. I get the seats checked. And yes, my kids will more than likely be in a booster seat until they are 10-12 years old.

19. On a related note...everyone makes mistakes. Mine? I forgot to buckle Daniel in his bucket seat once. Made it 2 blocks before I remember and flipped out. With James, it was this past year. I had him half buckled, got distracted and forgot to finish. Once again, made it a few blocks before realizing. Eek!

20. 2 summers ago we were in Indiana. I always pray for safely when we're driving anywhere. We were on the interstate a few miles from our exit when we heard a big thud. We weren't sure what it was but the van was driving fine. We actually forgot about it when we got to the hotel. Next morning our tire was totally flat. The only reason I feel like we avoided a blow out was being God was protecting us.
