Compose a list of 50 things about me

It’s been almost two years since I added this goal. Okay, so I do have goals on my list that have been there longer… but surely I should have knocked this one over by now.

Perhaps I should have followed the example set by the clever people and used bullet points, rather than rambling on for paragraphs at a time.

I find shower curtains, for the most part, to be quite disturbing.

I can’t stand it when I’m in the shower, enjoying the (usually) warm water, when suddenly I feel the cold shower curtain touch against my legs. It’s even worse when it wraps around and clings to my legs. Worse still, if I’m in a communal shower. Yuuuuuuuck.

Granted, some shower curtains do look quite pretty. But unless it’s my own shower, where I know that the thing has been cleaned regularly, it’s quite a gross concept to think what might be transferring to my skin upon contact.

I just try not to think about it, and make an effort to aim the water so that it falls between me and the curtain.

I don’t think I can deal with writing all about myself right now, it’s just too discouraging.

Did you every just know something?

Like when you met the one you love?
When you decided on a program in college?
When you decided you were ready for children?

Luckily, I’ve never really questioned who I was, just how I was going to live that out.

My family was very grounded, stable and focused. We moved, but because of progress. I think that had a lot to do with it. My parents are the ones that everyone else wished they had. I love them for giving us this.

So I am a combination of everything good from my parents: patient, kind and intelligent, etc… And a little from myself: creative, spontaneous and persistent.

OK, so I inherited some bad things, too, but those are genes and you can’t change them- short, for one.

Being raised in a committed family we had and have one reason for being here. To worship and praise the living God and prepare the saints. This is our heritage and our future.

6.) I eloped when I got married.
7.) My children make me laugh every day.
8.) I am painfully shy.
9.) I have one tattoo.
10.) All of my pets are insane.

1.) I am a married mother of three teenagers.
2.) I have brunette hair and green eyes.
3.) I love to listen to other people.
4.) I love all kinds of music, even though I can’t sing or play an instrument myself.
5.) I love storms – the bigger, the better.

I love the sensation of climbing into a sun-warmed car on a cool day… the feeling of the heat soaking into my body.

Of course, once I’m thoroughly warmed up, there’s usually a mad scramble to get the windows down, and the air-conditioning on. But those first few moments are truly glorious.

Much like getting into a warm shower or bath… or a nice warm bed on a cold night.

Every now and again, my heart likes to throw in a few extra beats. Just as a bit of a bonus, I like to think. :-)

I first noticed it last year… obviously, at a time when I was incredibly stressed. I wasn’t too worried about it, but saw my doctor just so that he was aware of it. He organised a Holter monitor… which I had to wear for 24 hours. The results were nothing alarming. Apparently it’s quite common for people to experience this.

Mostly I notice it when I’m sitting quietly. It’s an odd sensation… and quite weird to have my attention drawn to a process that usually continues on without me noticing in any way whatsoever.
