25 things

For the past few days I have been fighting this annoying head cold. It's been making my nights kind of restless, and tonight (or, this morning) I just cannot sleep. I mean I fell asleep- but now for some reason I am awake. Yesterday was kind of a long day, and I have another one of those ahead of me tomorrow... but I just continue to stare at my ceiling fan. So, sometimes staring at the computer screen instead makes me sleepy.

I have been getting a lot of those "facebook tags" to do the 25 random things about me- I love reading others, but I just never do it. My cottage dwelling friend here at camp blogged about her "25 things" instead of doing it on facebook- so I will take it from an expert and list 25 random things about me on this blog, I guess.

1. I am thankful daily that the Lord is my creator, my father, my portion, my deliverer...

2. I don't like meat and half the time I just really wish I did.

3. I think about adoption- and how that will play out in my life- almost every day.

4. I don't like fantasy-based movies (or books...) I don't think I have a great imagination.

5. I am mildly o.c.d. about like, crooked pictures on a wall, things being in alphabetical order or color coded, cleaning...things like that.

6. I like to read, but I never like it enough to actually set aside time to do it.

7.I first tried to dye my hair using peroxide when I was in middle school. Since then, I have dyed my hair almost every year, at least once a year (so bad!).

8. I wear crocs almost every day to work at camp- even thought I hate the shoes and I think that every time I put them on. But what better to clean stuff in than rubber shoes!?

9. Multiplication facts, times tables- call them what you will- I do not know them.

10. I don't like animals that live in cages (excluding the zoo, that's a little different...).

11. I'm kind of afraid of aquariums. Mostly tunnels, but sometimes aquariums feel like tunnels. I know it is all mental, but I hate the thought of being closed in with water pushing on the walls all around me.

12. I like being around people 99.9% of the time.

13. I chose to be a Conflict Analysis and Dispute Resolution major in college because I looked through the list of all of the majors offered and thought that looked like the most interesting and do-able major.

14. I like to write. Sometimes I miss the days of writing papers in college (sometimes), and I think that is partially why I decided to start a blog.

15. I wish my dad would call me more often.

16. I love to recycle.

17. My aunt is moving to Georgia in June and I feel like, as a grown up, I should be able to deal with this... but I really don't want her to leave.

18. I love the beach (so Georgia isn't so bad of a place after all...).

19. I do not like getting in the water- pool, beach, whatever. I will stick my feet in, but unless it's a shower I am really not interested in getting wet.

20. I love to travel and wish I could do it more often.

21. I love that I get to live and work at the camp I grew up coming to as a kid.

22. My favorite color is purple, which is a direct result of my aunt telling me when I was younger, that purple was my mom's favorite color.

23. I can't stand to touch velvet. I don't know what it is, but the feeling of it is just... so... weird.

24. I think my husband is one of the nicest guys you'll ever meet.

25. It has been about an hour and I am still not tired... but I will try to go back to sleep!
