UPDATED to COMPLTE THE 50...Some randon things you may or may not care to know about me...

1. I was born in St. Joe Michigan
2. Moved to Hamilton Michigan shortly after I was born (not sure exactly when though)
3. Moved to Zeeland when I was 14 years old
4. I had my 15 minutes of fame when I was 5 years old and was shown in People Magazine. An article about robots pictured me with one of the robots (still have that framed article).
5. When I was little my mom always insisted on keeping my hair short... I hate having my hair short now.
6. I have one brother, two step brothers, one step sister, one brother-in-law, one sister-in-law, one adopted brother and one adopted sister.
7. I hate peas
8. I hate mayonaise, miracle whip and anything of the sort, including anything including this condiment
9. I hate ketchup
10. I hate hot dogs
11. I hate ham
12. The list of foods I prefer not eat could go on for days
13. I don't like eating fast food, if forced I will only eat french fries
14. I always thought I would have two kids...
15. I hate coffee, but love a good latte
16. I hate to be late for anything, I would rather be 10 minutes early than 1 minute late.
17. I always wished I could play sports, but was never good at anything
18. I used to play the clarinet (for 3 years), during that time I also played another instrument, but for the life of me can't remember the name of it.
19. I'm very much an instant gratification person, can't wait for anything!
20. I love to watch "Lifetime" movies on a Saturday or Sunday afternoon and sleep
21. I had a cat when I was in junior high... named... "Kitty", he was calico and I loved him so much
22. I am kinda lazy...
23. I hate to be hot, but really don't like to be cold either
24. I'm not comfortable in groups where I don't know any/many people.
25. I never used to be able to go anywhere by myself, I always had to have someone with me, I'm getting better, but still prefer company.
26. I take almost everything personally, good or bad
27. My feelings are hurt easily
28. My mom passed away when I was 13 and I dread that same fate for myself everyday, it was definately the most difficult time in my life.
29. We don't have a big screen t.v. (in fact they are quite small) and I'm pretty ok with that.
30. I drink one can of Diet Cherry Coke everyday.
31. I really don't like to drink water, unless it's ice cold, but I'm getting better at it.
32. I love cherries
33. We've painted our living room four times in the 8 years we've lived here
34. I love change... everything, colors, furniture, work, clothes, everything
35. I went to college for only one year... sometimes i regret not finishing, but I really am content being a mom right now too.
36. I love my kids more than I could ever have imagined loving anyone.
37. I really like the Hilshire Farms salad commercial (although I would never ever ever eat one) (yes, I'm embarresed to admit that...)
Updates start here...
38. I LOVE LOVE LOVE movie theater popcorn... specifically the butter that they put on it!
39. I just recently discovered the joy of OnDemand (Thanks Julie) and the fact that it's free makes it so much better! Bailey and I are watching an epsiode of America's Funniest Animals right now.
40. I'm so thankful to have married such an amazing man and father!
41. We had a terrible first year of marriage... we are both suprised that we made it though, but we didn't get married to get divorced either.
42. I love to play games with my kids, but HATE to play anything pretend!
43. I am petrified of lakes/oceans. I can swim in the lake if I start on shore and can see the bottom, but jump off the boat or something is out of the question... I will have an anxiety attack for sure! Going on a cruise would be totally out of the question, I would be a wreck thinking I would end up overboard, eaten by sharks the whole time. Logical... no, but very very real to me!
44. My absolute favorite vacation destination would be Aruba! (although plane over the ocean causes a little fear), we were there a few years back and it was amazing, the food, the weather, the people, everything!
45. I love to eat out (and given the cost, we do it WAY to much)
46. I always read magazines from back to front! Fav magazine would be... Family Fun
47. I tried selling Creative Memories for about a week. I had one sale on September 11, 2001 and that was it. It just isn't my personality to sell stuff like that, although that didn't stop me from trying again when I sold PartyLite in 2005 for a few months. I probably spent more than I made and up until two months ago still had a GREAT stash in my closet, since I'm pregnant I can't stand the smell and have given a lot of it away or sold it on E-Bay.
48. I NEED NEED NEED to sell my house, so we have room for baby number 4!
49. I went hiking in the Adirondack mountains when I was in high school and as hard as it was I loved it, I think it would be way to hard for me to do now, we slept outside in a lean-to, there were snakes, bugs and just plain dirtiness, the food was terrible (from a bag), stuff you would NEVER EVER PICTURE me doing now, but truly it was great. The best part was the shower in the waterfall on the second to last day... it was AMAZING, best shower ever!
50. I'm finally done. I'm sure I can think of more, but it will take a while... maybe I'll do this again soon!

I could probably go on, but I'm stumped right now... I will try to add 13 more for an even 50 later (probably not today, maybe later this week).

I finally found someone who might be a pickier eater than me!!! Just teasing really - our lists are somewhat similar! I love these lists - I really should do one too - learn so much in just a short read!
