I'll probably ALWAYS be this way.

So, the other night Lee was teasing me about a silly "quirk" of mine.

(I have many, for all of you who don't know.)

I was lying in bed last night, and you guessed it.

I was having a hard time falling to sleep.

I started listing all my interesting "ways"
in my head, and realized something:

I'm kinda weird.

Lee always says that he truly believes
that I suffer from OCD on certain issues,

And I'm finally realizing:

The guy may be right.

I also came to the realization that
this is also just who I am.

(And, I kinda like ME.)

-----------------------

- I have to wear socks to bed every night. Otherwise my feet FREEZE.

- Before I drink milk or have it on my cereal, it has to be
 in the freezer for 10 minutes so it's super COLD.

- Sometimes I go to the movies JUST for the popcorn.

- I have a crazy obsession (and collection)
of cute undies, big earrings, and knit hats.

- I wear heels EVERY single day.

- I can't stand RUDE people.

- After tucking my kids in for the night, I "check" on them at least

 5 times for a "re-tuck" and more kisses while they sleep.

- I can't sit down and relax for the night until my kitchen is CLEAN.

- I check to make sure my doors are locked at least 10 times a night.

(If I don't, I just know someone is going to come in, and KILL me.)

-I could NEVER get tired of watching Dirty Dancing.

I still think it's the best movie EVER.

- I'm CRAZY in love with my camera.

- I LOVE to crank the music in my car, and sing at the
top of my lungs like no one else is with me.

(My kids even beg me to stop sometimes.)

- For some reason, most people think
I'm stuck-up when they first meet me.

- Honestly, this bothers me more than most people know.

- I have a LOVE for "artwork"... on my skin.

(Who knows how many tattoos I'll end up with?)

- I STILL think that Lee is the hottest guy I've ever laid eyes on.

- I DWELL on my past, more than I should,

But I've learned that talking about it
 DOES make me feel a little better.

but, I CRAVE pizza and cheeseburgers almost daily.

- Sometimes, I like to just get in the car and... DRIVE.

- I LOVE my kids so much it HURTS.

- I still don't understand why I have to be SHORT.

- I love trying new recipes, and
WOW-ing my family with my MAD skills.

(I know most people are probably
 scratching there heads right now.)

- Riding quads is one of my FAVORITE things to do.

into such an amazing family.

hits the Oregon coast... I'll be there.

- I LOVE my dog even more than I ever thought I would.

- I'm OBSESSED with the hand soap from Bath & Body works.

- It drives me CRAZY when people don't
put new toilet paper on the roll.

- The SUNSHINE can usually make my bad mood just disappear.
- I HATE math.
- I LOVE to read.
- I Can't STAND drivers that don't "wave"
when I let them out in front of me.
- I LOVE the fact that I still get butterflies
in my stomach when Lee holds my hand.
- I CRY about the stupidest things on T.V.
- I'm OBSESSED with reality shows.

And, my "PLAN" is to LIVE until I'm a HUNDRED years old.
