31 facts about me.

1) I hate mayonnaise...it makes me gag just to look at it!

2) My favorite fountain drink is diet Pepsi. Oh, and I like regular Coke better than regular Pepsi. I know, it doesn't really make sense but I'm OK with that.

3) I used to organize my closet by color! I even tried to coordinate the hanger color with the garment color (white hangers were used for white shirts, and so on...).  It's true! I don't have the time (or space) for that now, but I hope to be able to do that again one day. Yes, I have lofty goals for my life.

4) I hate any sort of lunch meat. Sub sandwiches are about as appealing to me as mayo!

5) I was nearly 20 years old before I flew anywhere in an airplane.

6) I still love chewy Sprees.

7) I didn't like (no...I HATED) any sort of seafood until about 5 years ago. Now I eat sushi with my husband & crave spicy grilled shrimp??? It's really a miracle if you ask me because I don't know how that happened! :-)

8) I wear a size 10 shoe. I used to be a solid 9, but 4 kids changed all that!

9)Before deciding to sign up for my first marathon I had never run further than 1 mile in my whole entire life. I was inspired to run by a video I saw on YouTube & decided I thought I could do it. I signed up for the Disney marathon & then decided I had lost my mind when it took me 2 hours to finish my first 6 mile run -hehe! To date, that was the most miserable run of my entire life!

10) I've been known to bake cookies at midnight & clean bathrooms at 1:00 am.

11) My husband tells me I can't sing, but I really don't care, I still belt out tunes at the top of my lungs when we are in the car :-). My children love this about me...I think???

12) I got the "hustle" award on my basketball team my sophomore year of high school. I think that meant "Amber can't shoot a basket to save her life...but she sure does run up and down that court a lot"-ha!

13) I know the full lyrics to songs that I don't know the name of....or what band performs that song. It's true.

14) I multi-task in just about every area of my life. It's part of the challenges I face with my ADD. This means a lot of things get started, but not always finished. Sometimes I forget how many things I'm doing at one time & end up putting things in strange places & dressing children in clothing backwards.

15) I think I have nice wrists & ugly feet.

16) I don't like scary movies.

17) I still secretly like the movies Dumb and Dumber,  Pure Luck, and Jacka$$. They make me laugh.

18) I wear yoga pants 365 days a year.

19) I love camping, canoeing, and being outdoors. I beg my husband on a weekly basis to find a job in Colorado so that I can enjoy the great outdoors more often.

20) I love watching squirrels. I'm pretty sure you are not supposed to admit that one though.

21) I can't whistle.

22) I don't feel like I can leave the house if there are dirty dishes in the sink. That's my mother's fault!

23) I recently started "couponing" and I'm pretty sure that did not tip the "nerd" scale in my favor. I'm a full-on dork now & I don't care who knows!

24) While I am a pretty good baker I cannot master the art of...chocolate chip cookies (*hangs head in shame*). I can make pies, cakes, and dozens of other cookies...just not chocolate chip cookies. It's like a cruel joke. I've tried about 10 different recipes & they never turn out right. Of all the things to be bad at why does it have to be something so simple??? This failure haunts me....

25) I hate answering the phone. It's turned into a phobia I think. I'm still not sure why this is but I'll talk to my therapist about it when I go to discuss my fear of mayo & dirty dishes.

26) My drivers license still says I weigh 125. The last time I went to renew I decided to fess up & tell the DMV gal that my weight was no longer 125. I told her my real and accurate weight & when they made my new license and handed it to me it still said...125. I take this as a sign that I need to get working on losing this "baby weight" once and for all so that my drivers license will be slightly (I laugh at the idea that I will ever be that thin again!) more accurate. I think it's God's way of reminding me what my goal weight is!

27) It is a lifelong dream of mine to be a contestant on Wipeout!

28) I think I want to start doing more mountain biking. Of course, I don't own a bike so this could be a bit challenging!

29) My favorite season is summer.

30) My favorite people in the whole wide world are my family members.

31) I think the 30's are going to be even more of an adventure than the 20's!
