200 Things About Me

1. I am a Christian
2. I am left handed
3. But only when eating, writing and bowling
4. Everything else I do with my right hand
5. So I guess I'm kind of ambidextrious
6. Left-handed people tend to be more creative
7. Not me
8. Right-handed people tend to be more analytical
9. That describes me better
10. I make lists, plan things, and need everything in it's place
11. Except on my desk
12. That is a hot mess all the time
13. But I know where everything is
14. Even if I have to look for it a little bit
15. I can be creative too though
16. Depending
17. I scored a 7 on this test
18. That equates to being ambidextrious
19. Go figure
20. I have Hazel eyes
21. My children have blue, green, and brown eyes
22. All of them are right-handed, except K

32. Yes, it hurt
33. Badly
34. My second child was born in 1997
35. B was 9lbs 15ozs
36. That hurt too
37. My third child was born in 2001
38. M was 9lbs 10ozs
39. I didn't have drugs with her, so she hurt the worst
40. And came the fastest
41. 7 minutes after my water broke
42. Oh yeah, lots of pain!
43. My last child was born in 2005
44. K was 8lbs 1oz
45. I'm glad she was the smallest
46. She made my final birth the most comfortable
47. It still hurt, but not as much
48. I'd probably have more children if I could afford it
49. But I can't, so I won't
50. I've worked in 9 different places in my life, other than here at home
51. 3 were in food establishments
52. 3 were in retail
53. 3 were in schools
54. Of all them, I loved my last job the most
55. I loved it mainly because of the people I worked with
56. I was the Accounts Payable Manager for our church and school
57. In plain speak, I paid the bills
58. It was really fun and didn't seem like work
59. I'd go back again in a heartbeat
60. Except they found someone to replace me
61. Plus, I wouldn't put K back in daycare
62. Staying home with her was the best decision I ever made
63. But I totally miss my former office mates
64. They made the job a blast
65. I am an only child
66. I was totally used to getting my way
67. Lucky for me, Mr. Smoochiefrog could care less about many things
68. So I still tend to get my way
69. M is probably the most like me
70. B is most like Mr. Smoochiefrog
71. K is a total mix of us both
72. D isn't Mr. Smoochiefrog's biological son, but he's alot like both of us
73. He also has a lot of his father's traits though
74. Much to my chagrin
75. That's enough about that
76. I once flushed an orange down the toilet
77. Which caused the bathroom to flood
78. Into the 7th grade hall
79. They never knew who did it
80. Because my friend didn't rat me out
81. She's not my friend anymore
82. Only because she didn't agree with my divorce
83. I tried to email her recently
84. But she never responded
85. I do miss our friendship though
86. I still keep in touch with my 3 friends who were my bridesmaids in my first wedding
87. One was in my second wedding too
88. We met at my second job
89. While we were both in high school
90. We've been best friends ever since
91. The other 2 have been my best friends since Elementary school
92. Mr. Smoochiefrog doesn't have friends like that
93. I guess it's due to moving a lot as a child
94. I lived in the same house from 3 until I was 22
95. Minus a couple of years the first time I was married
96. My dad sold that house in 2006
97. I'm still not over that
98. It held lots of memories
99. Once Mr. Smoochiefrog gets out of the military, we're moving
100. We'll get a house that my kids can grow up in
101. And make friends that they'll keep forever
102. I have a bunch of really odd quirks
103. They probably could best be described as OCD behaviors
104. I eat sandwiches crust/outer edges first
105. I always save the middle for last because it's the best part
106. I do the same thing with burgers
107. I only really like the middle brownies out of a pan
108. And I'll only eat the side pieces of cake if there's icing because the middle tastes better
109. I eat M&M's in colored pairs
110. I eat Skittles the same way
111. I won't eat red Skittles though-blech!
112. I count stairs as I'm walking on them
113. If I fail to count when I start, I have to start over
114. I do things in even numbers
115. My favorite number is 4
116. I put the radio stations in the car in ascending order
117. I can't drive if the garage door opener is not in it's exact place
118. When I cut food, I count as I'm doing it
119. And that's enough about that for now
120. I love reality TV
121. My favorite shows are American Idol, So You Think You Can Dance and Amazing Race
122. I'd love to be on Amazing Race
123. But I don't run, so I'd probably lose the final leg because I would refuse to
124. Maybe I'd run since $1,000,000 would be at stake, but I doubt it
125. I've tried out for 2 game shows; Jeopardy and Wheel of Fortune
126. I wasn't spunky/obnoxious enough to be on Wheel of Fortune
127. And I don't watch enough Elvis movies to be on Jeopardy
128. Those were the only questions I couldn't answer
129. And the only questions they gave me
130. I hate Elvis movies
131. I love the smell of rain
132. My favorite flowers are yellow roses
133. I don't like red roses
134. I play the flute
135. I started playing it in 7th grade
136. I played it in college too
137. I went to 3 different colleges to get 1 degree
138. I left the first school, U.S.A. (University of South Alabama) in 1992 after 1 year

142. I graduated from USM (University of Southern Mississippi) in 1996
143. I have a B.S. degree (hee!) in Elementary Education
144. While in college, I was in a theater production
145. It was a play called Talking With that consists of 11 monologues
146. I was a fundamentalist snake handler
147. The reason I got the part was because I was the only person who marked that I wasn't afraid of snakes on the info sheet
148. I LOVED the part
149. I actually pulled a real Boa Constrictor (named Louie) out of a box and walked around with it while reciting my lines
150. Since the play was done in the round (option 3 on that page), I freaked many people out with Louie
151. I'm truely not afraid of snakes
152. I am however afraid of frogs (go figure)
153. I scream like a little girl anytime I see a real frog
154. The cute cartoon ones, I love
155. Yeah, I'm strange
156. I have never been outside the U.S.
157. I like it like that
158. I'm happy not knowing what I'm missing
159. Sometimes I think I'd like to visit foreign lands like Australia, Europe and the Orient
160. But I'm honestly too afraid to try
161. I never really ate steak until after I married Mr. Smoochiefrog
162. I hated it, I guess b/c I was forced to always eat it well done as a child
163. Well done steak is very hard for a child to eat, so it always took me hours
164. I don't think I ate steak from 10 to 30 something
165. Then I got some yummy steak tips from Steak Out
166. I haven't looked back since
167. But I'll only eat tips or steak I cook at home
168. Restaurants don't know how to cook a steak to my liking
169. My favorite holiday is Christmas
170. I love the lights, sounds and smells of Christmas
171. If I could get away with it, I'd listen to Christmas music all year long
172. Again, I know I'm weird
173. My favorite color is forest green
174. My favorite food is, well just about anything
175. I'm allergic to cats
176. I didn't know this until I moved out of my house and could suddenly breathe
177. I hate it though as I really like cats
178. I wish I could have cats again
179. But I refuse to get a Mexican Hairless cat
