25 Random Things

25 RANDOM THINGS

1. I am married to my complete and polar opposite, but it works :-)

2. We have 2 polar opposite kids, (1 has dark skin and brown eyes and 1 has light skin and blue eyes, one is very tall, one is shorter, one is content to play alone, one runs at 150% all day long.. etc..)

3. I have a pretty hectic life right now, stress is an understatement, but blessed none the less.

4. I have the most wonderful, well rounded, most loyal, unique, diverse group of friends I have ever met.

5. I have the smallest family of anyone I know, but the greatest love! :-)

6. I have ADD, but I amuse myself with it at times, going in circles.

7. Flip Flops are my favorite and I do think they are acceptable with every outfit, why else would they come in every color and design.. hello?

8. My new favorite reality shows are Sober House on VH1 and DEA on Spike.. ironic?

9. I love October

10. I love my blog, however simple and meaningless it may be to you, it is my way to let it out, document and remember. http://karencw.blogspot.com/

11. I am way too excited for the kids starting sports! Belle will be playing soccer and Tyler will be playing T-ball.. I think it is so cute! Wait does that make me a soccer mom?

12. The word Cancer makes my stomach twist.

13. I can be very sensitive, esp. when it comes to things I take personally or have worked hard at.

14. I threw away my work in the 1st grade and Mrs. Pace made me dig it out of the trash can (it was a TALL trashcan too) then tell my mom who was teaching down the hall what I did! :-( (what can I say.. model student)

15. Rodents are disgusting (in my opinon but sorry that is how I feel)

16. I have a Q-Tip fetish.. it is very extensive and I can not stop using.

17. I love music and most songs within the first chords I can remember where I was when I first heard it, how I felt, who was there and what I was doing. Music is powerful to me. I can also memorize a song pretty much the 1st time I hear it, (this would be why my parents got me my multiplication tables on CD:-))

18. I think women should be all liberated and what have you but chivalry should not be dead. Who doesn't want a knight in shining armour to come to the rescue because thier big mouth got them in trouble! :-)

19. I want my house to be spotless. (Want being the key word here) I do not however LIKE to clean (...knight in shining armour enter here...), unless it is like 2 am and I am stressed and I relieve it that way.

20. I'm opinionated about almost everything.

21. I try to put myself in others shoes and show compassion. I sometimes get too compassionate to a fault. I can not stand to see someone in need or hurting. I also can not stand to see people using the good hearted compassion of others to get attention or a "free ride".

22. I can not stand it when someone can not say a simple sentence without using profanity. I let some slip but seriously is it completely necessary to make a point?

23. I MISS the floater pharmacists! Come back!

24. I lived in Clay County and went to school in Talladega, where my parents still owned a house, so I could use that address and still go to my old school. My brother and sister went to Lineville, because we moved there when they were young enough to "start over", that is why we didn't go to school together and why a few Lineville people didn't know they had an older sister, but we lived together and had the same parents and for most of my childhood I shared a room with Sarah, who know lives with me in my basement apartement (and I LOVE the fact that she is still so close to me). Whooooo

25. OH I made it to number 25.. If I would have read this list 10 years ago I do not think 1 thing would be the same besides the love I have for my family and even that has grown to a deeper understanding. My life did not go at all as I had planned it but it did go on and if it had gone any other way I would not have the respect, the drive, the compassion, the humility, the desire, the strength, the love, the will, the chances and the spirit to be the person I am today. I will never be a perfect girl, I will always be the girl who finds the right choice by trying all the wrong ones out first, but hey at least I will never wonder what if? and I will always be me.

Love,
Karen
