Stole this from Emily, Em, Emy, Em-O, Emmy Lou, Emma, Molly, MeMe 1. I am scared of birds. It probably goes back to my childhood when a bird got in my house and flew around my head. And the thought of watching that Hitchcock movie? *Shudder* 2. I am completely obsessed with ice. I eat it all day. Compulsively. I love Sonic ice, but I will settle for any size or shape. 3. I can sing a song about almost any word you say in casual conversation. I don't always mean to, but the songs just come to me when I hear the word. My kids think I am insane. Especially when we are doing history and I burst into song about Vikings or Sinbad the Sailor or Henry VIII. Then I have to look them up on YouTube to prove that I am not making them up. 4. I watch the Golden Girls almost every night when I go to bed. I big pink puffy heart them. 5. I made homemade laundry detergent a couple of weeks ago and feel strangely empowered by that fact. I'm no Ma Ingalls, but it was kinda fun. And it works great and is super cheap. 6. I can't watch people get embarrassed on TV or in a movie. It makes me so uncomfortable I have to close my eyes or leave the room. (You know like when they are about to get caught looking in the boss's desk or something like that.) I hate hate hate it. 7. I used to love to cook until now that I have to do it 3 times a day. The worst part of homeschooling is not having a janitor or a cafeteria lady. 8. Oddly, though, I love cooking Thanksgiving dinner. Love love love it. 9. I hate washing silverware. I don't love washing any dishes, but I really detest spoons and forks. 10. I once won $50 in a photography contest and made Jason refer to me as "the award-winning photographer" after that. :) 11. When I was pregnant with Spenser and had trouble sleeping I watched Star Wars (New Hope), Pretty Woman or Housesitter every single night to fall asleep. I can pretty much quote all 3 of them mostly by heart. 12. I try to keep my email inbox under 50. It's completely arbitrary but it makes me feel better when it is under 50. 13. I can play guitar a little. Spenser is way better than me, though. Punk. 14. I tend to overtip waitresses because I used to be one in college. 15. Sometimes I am overcome by irrational fear. Like when all 4 kids are swimming at the same time. I am terrified that they will drown. I pray and I trust God and I know that I shouldn't be that way, but I am. Same thing when we were climbing mountains in Tennessee. To say I was a nervous wreck is a complete understatement. 16. I don't have a favorite color. All these dumb email and Myspace surveys that you get always ask your favorite color and I say green but I could not care less about the color green or any other color for that matter. 17. I am always nervous that people I know are going to read my blog and find something to be offended about. Yeah, I know, it's dumb, but it's part of the whole preacher's wife thinking. 18. Jason and I teach a Sunday School class, but I participate in another Sunday School discussion-type class via email. The teacher emails me her discussion questions, and I answer them by email. It keeps me sharp. 19. I can tolerate a surprisingly large amount of chaos without being affected. Comes from having 4 kids. I barely even notice noise unless it has a certain urgency. Once (when Spenser was still in public school) I was on a bus with a bunch of 3rd graders going on a field trip. I was reading a book amidst all of the commotion, and a teacher asked me how I could read with all of that. I looked at him and said "I have 4 kids." 20. I am a big Loser when it comes to the library. I always end up owing huge fines and so it is probably cheaper for me to use ebay, amazon and paperbackswap. 21. I once had a horrible gall bladder attack (or something abdominal) that put me in the ER during a church business meeting. At that meeting a deacon trashed my husband and the senior pastor so badly that the pastor told me (in the ER) that God spared me. Apparently horrible abdominal pain was less painful than that meeting. 22. That deacon is no longer at our church. Long story short, God moved in a mighty way. I should write a book. 23. I have an irrational fear of church business meetings. No not really, but they make me nervous even though now they are very pleasant. 24. When I find a new song that I like I will listen to it a bazillion times. In a row. 25. I feel bad that none of my random facts were deep or spiritual or insightful. Oh great, now I have guilt.
