30 things you may not know about me

When I started the blog, I thought I would have more to say.  Well apparently I was wrong!  But I saw this on a friends blog, and then my sister posted something similar on facebook, so I thought I would try it.  And since I am 30...."30 Things You May Not Know About Me."  Shall we begin?

1.   I have never had a manicure nor a pedicure.

2.   I have seen every episode of "Friends" at least 3 times.

3.   I am at my very core a romantic.

4.   I love to plan things, trips, cleaning schedules, days, etc.

5.   I want to go back to school.

6.   I like pet names, but funny ones, not cliche ones.

7.   I never realized how getting older would change my outlook on things, including goals.

8.   I hate shopping with most people.

9.   While I used to hate Mexican food, it is probably my favorite type of food now.

10. I don't have any secret talents.

11. I never realized how judgemental I am, until I have started trying not to be

12. I would like to write a book.

13. I would like to be famous without be "paparazzi" famous (i.e. I want to go to award shows, but not be the center of attention).

14. I truly hate being the center of attention.

15. I would like to help people figure out what they want to do with their life.

20. I enjoyed the "Sookie Stackhouse" books.

21. I have not enjoyed the "Twilight" series.

22. I enjoy looking at pictures, rather than taking them; I only take them to look at them.

23. I have learned more about myself in the last 2 years than probably any time before then.

24. "The Princess Bride" will always be my favorite movie.

25. I hate watching the news.

26. I watch "Saved by the Bell" every morning.

27. I have read more in the last 4 years than the 26 years before that.

28. I hate that my fingers are crooked.

29. I love new years resolutions.

30. I take my family for granted.

That was hard, but fun.  My stream of consciousness thinking is very random!

Photos

Andrew suggested we take some pictures when he came down this week, so thanks to Facebook, I knew that a friend of mine from high school was a photographer.  Branch was great and agreed to take some photos for us.  On Thursday we met at Maclay Gardens.  I confess I have never been to the gardens part.  I was impressed actually.  The camillas were blooming, as were the japanese magnolias.  So, here a couple of the pictures, thanks to Branch (www.photographybybranch.com)!

Happy New Year

Andrew came down this week for a few days.  We had alot of fun.  We went to St. George Island, Maclay Gardens, and then went up to Lake Seminole.  I think I went to more state parks in the last 3 days than I have been to in the last four years.
