That's just crazy talk!

25 Things About Me
1) I need to go shopping because I only have 3 pairs of pants that I can wear to work. 3 pairs of pants are not enough!! I used to have more but I gained a little weight and I can’t seem to loose it again. So I am waiting for a time when Jewells and Rach can go shopping with me…. Hopefully it will be sometime soon because I’ve got the shopping itch!
2) I love food. Last night my boyfriend and I went to Olive Garden to celebrate Valentines Day!! Phil had to work until 5 o’clock on V Day so I didn’t have much time to give him my “surprise”, go out for dinner, and go to a movie. So I gave him my “surprise” on V Day and on Sunday we went to the Olive Garden and went to the movie “New in Town” (I had to talk him into that one). There were definitely some funny parts to the movie but it wasn’t the greatest. I probably wouldn’t want to see it again.
3) I’m going to school to be a paralegal. I started school at the beginning of January and at the end of January I got a promotion at work from a receptionist to a paralegal. Haha I guess I don’t really need the schooling now! I’m going to keep on going though because it will be good to have a degree when I want to move on to a bigger law firm that will pay more. I will graduate in less than a year!
4) I love my boyfriend Phil very much. We have been dating now for…. 6 years in May. Wow, 6 years!
5) Phil and I have two adorable dogs. We also have a cat but we don’t see her too often because she lives at her Grandma’s house. We have a female named Precious (I call her Mama) and her son Vader. I don’t know what I would do without them! They are like children to me.
6) I want to get married. No, I really, badly want to get married! I at least want him to ask me to marry him soon. :( We probably wouldn’t have a wedding until the fall of 2010 but it would still be nice to get engaged. It’s been 6 years for crying out loud!
7) I want to move!!!! Phil and I live in a duplex in Baldwin and I want a house so damn bad. I have wanted a house since before I moved out of my parent’s house. I want to get an old farm house out in the country somewhere with a couple acres of land. Phil and I have discussed buying his mother’s house. She has the perfect location but I don’t like the house and Phil wouldn’t ever bulldoze it and build a new one. I’m open to talking about buying it but I think I’d rather look elsewhere.
8) Once we get a house then I can finally get my golden retriever I’ve been dying to get! I had golden retrievers growing up and I just love them to death! I can’t have a big dog until we get a house though… it wouldn’t be fair for the dog to have to spend all his time in a tiny apartment. :( Once we move though, I’ll be getting my golden!
9) I’m addicted to the twilight series! I’m on the 4th book right now and I don’t want it to ever end. I’m torn between seeing the movie and not seeing the movie. I want to see it badly but I also don’t want it to ruin the picture I have in my head about what everyone looks like, etc. I also don’t have anyone to talk to about the books and all I want to do is talk about it! Phil only read up until book 3 and I don’t like talking to him about it because he has opposite views as I do. And Jewells won’t talk about it! Poo!
10) I wish I had more money so I could travel more often. I want to see more things before I die and I haven’t gotten the best start. I’ve been to Washington, Las Vegas, Chicago, and the US Virgin Islands. I’ve also been other places like Wyoming but that was when I was a child and I don’t remember too much of it. I would go anywhere! Just a few places I’d love to go are: Scotland, Greece, Italy, Australia, Mexico, New York, California, and Hawaii.
11) My idea of a good night is sitting in front of my huge TV and watching my shows or watching a good movie. I’m kind off a homebody…
12) When I do feel like going “out”, I like to go to the Dive or any place that I can drink and dance. It’s nice to get out and shake it for a few hours. :) I think it is time that my ladies and I need to go out and have a ladies night! I think they would agree. :)
13) I hate drivers who drive in the fast lane and go 65 miles per hour! And then stay there after they pass someone. It really annoys me. I have a little road rage in me. I find myself swearing at people and giving them the “glare” if they piss me off.
14) I miss my little sister. I haven’t seen her since Christmas and she is at the perfect age of 1! My mom said she would get up here to visit sometime in February. Hopefully she can make it.
15) I wish my brother and I were closer. We were extremely close growing up but once we hit 14-15 we basically stopped talking. It wasn’t until about a year ago that we started talking again but we still aren’t as close as we used to be. I also wish I was closer to my parents. I don’t really know what to say to my dad and so much has happened with my mom. I still love them a lot but I just feel… very disconnected.
16) I worry about my mom all the time. I always wonder if she is still sober when she calls. I like to believe that I can trust her now that she has a baby but deep down inside I don’t. I know she means well and I know she is fighting it with everything she’s got but sometimes that isn’t enough.
17) I love my friends to death. I get to see them every Monday which makes me very happy but sometimes that doesn’t seem to be enough. Every Monday we switch off houses. Tonight we are at Jewell’s house. We usually play Wii, watch movies, watch TV, or just hang out and chat. In the summer we go on a lot of walks which is really nice. Except when we walk over to the DQ! Then the walk was pointless! :)
18) I’m completely exhausted by the end of the day and I don’t know why. After I get home from work I work on homework for an hour or two and then 8 o’clock runs around and I start to feel exhausted. By 9 o’clock you’ll be sure to find me asleep! It is hard to explain how exhausted I get. I seriously CANNOT keep my eyes open. If I fall asleep on the couch, it is hard to get up and go lay in bed. I get plenty of sleep so I don’t know why I’m exhausted by the end of the day. Why can’t I just stay up until 10 or 11? Phil says that I should start taking some vitamins… Guess it wouldn’t hurt to try!
19) I wish it was nice outside so I could take my dogs for a walk. In the summer, I go for as many walks as I can. Vader loves it, especially when his cousins can come along! :)
20) I sometimes wonder what my life would be like if I was more outgoing and not so quiet/shy. If I could change one thing about my personality, it would be that.
21) I love the weekends because I can sleep in and cuddle with my puppies! Vader loves to cuddle in the morning. He usually wakes me up by sitting on my chest and pawing my face very lightly. Then he will lie on my neck until I get up. It’s really cute!
22) I love the feeling of clean! I love getting out of the shower and knowing that I’m all clean. I love putting on clean clothes. I love getting into bed after I have washed all the sheets and blankets. I love coming home after we have cleaned the entire house bottom to top!
23) I am a very organized person. My desk at work used to be in perfect shape until I moved to a different desk. The person before me was not quite so organized. It has been bugging me ever since I sat there and I haven’t had the time to clean and rearrange.
24) I love Coldplay! I went to their concert with Jewells in November and it was AMAZING! I can’t wait until they come back. There is not one single song on all their CDs that I do not love.
25) I love sleep. I can’t get enough of it! If I could get 10 hours of sleep a night, I would be sooo happy! There just isn’t enough time in a day!
