Today is my 34th birthday. So, I thought it would be fun to share 34 things on this, the day that I was born. One of my favorite bloggers Emily from Jones Design Company, did this a couple months ago and it was actually really cute, so I thought I would give it a try… here goes.
1.My birthday was supposed to be Christmas day… I was very late. Thereby reinforcing my theory that I come by my lateness naturally.
2.I can’t decide which day would be worse to be born on. My birthday is often dubbed “the most depressing day of the year.” Lovely.
3.My Grandma’s birthday actually was on Christmas. She did not like it at all.
4. I am a middle child. I love being the middle child, seriously.
5. There are 6 kids in my family, I’m #3.
6. I was still the first one to go away to college, get married, and have a baby.
7. I met my husband in college, and had a crush on him for 6 months before he asked me out.
8. I still wear my retainers. Not every night but at least 3 nights a week. Having braces was traumatic enough, I don’t want my teeth to move.
9. I have never broken a bone.
10. I do have a really bad back, combination of having a sway back and being dropped a few too many times when I was a cheerleader. I love going to the chiropractor, magic workers, I tell you.
11. I’d pick “healthy” cereal over sugary cereal any day. Wheaties forever.
12. I’m a terrible night-owl. It runs in my mom’s side of the family.
13. I had really bad insomnia through most of high school and college. (I read a lot of books back then.)
14. It went away when I got married. (Thank you Craig.)
15. I still love to read at night, but now I’m a mom so I fall asleep a lot.
16. I have really thick, naturally curly/frizzy hair. (No, I don’t wear it curly anymore, ever. It’s not cute, trust me.)
17. This is my natural hair color. I already pay too much to get it de-frizzed, not going to color it until I start going gray. Plus I actually like the color of my hair.
18. Since I have a lot of different textures going on my hair is really unforgiving. I’ve had A LOT of bad haircuts.
19. The worst one was dubbed “the muffin.” It’s still a joke in my family.
20. It coincided with my Jr. year of high school, braces and a really round baby face. So that was a fun time in my life.
21. I’m only 4’11”
22. I have to hem, or tuck or roll basically every pair of pants I’ve ever owned. Yes, it’s as annoying as it sounds. Sometimes I forget that some people just buy jeans and they fit right off the rack. I wish.
23. I’m a lefty. When I was a kid, I thought that it made me special, because almost no one else was. (see, middle child.) But I can only throw a ball with my right hand.
24. I love the movie World War Z. I don’t know why.
25. I’m a repeat freak. If I love a song, I’ll listen to it on repeat like a million times in a row.
26. I went to college in a tiny town in Idaho.
27. People always think that’s weird because I’m from California. (why Idaho, is usually what they say.)
28. I’ve lived in 6 different states. 4 of them I’ve lived in more than once. #gypsy
29. All my kids have my husband’s blue eyes and some relative’s sandy blonde hair. None of them got my coloring. I think my high school biology teacher was full of crap. ;-)
30. I’m a little bit of a hypochondriac. Every bump/headache is a tumor, and all that.
31. This really didn’t manifest itself until I became a mother. Yes I know it’s neurotic. I’m getting better about it.
32. If I love a book, I read it many times. It gets better every time.
33. I don’t mind getting older, at all. But Hannah being only 5 1/2 years from graduating high school. That kind of freaks me out.
34. Hot chocolate is my favorite thing.
