100 things about me in honor of my 100th post

In honor of my 100th post I think I will write 100 things about me you may or may not know about me. I got this idea from a good friend, Leslie, who always comes up with interesting things to write about. So let's get this thing going.

1. I hate green beans. I always have and I always will. The only green beans I have ever enjoyed are Cathy Carters. They didn't even taste like green beans and I think I even ate seconds.

2. When I was in pre-school I fell so hard I bit through my tongue and almost had to get stitches to put it back together. It was literally hanging on by just the sides. Yes, I have a scar too and if you ask me I will show you.

3. I think it is super rude to not say "bless you" after someone sneezes however I forget to say it a lot.

4. I don't like it when other people's feet touch me. Heck, I don't even like my own feet.

5. The best moments in my life to date are when I gave birth to my two girls. There is no feeling to describe motherhood but as soon as they lay your baby on you it is a flood of emotions. Ask any mom and they will tell you the same.

6. I love to sleep. I don't get to do enough of it but if I could have a hobby that is what I would choose.

7. If I could be anything when I grow up it would be a prim a ballerina. I know it sounds silly but I have a lot of respect for what they do and wish I could do that too.

8. I am very good at being lazy.

9. I like to bake...not always very good at it but I like to do it.

10. I think I suffer from OCD...I like to have things neat and organized all the time and I can't got to bed when the house is a mess.

11. Love garage sales.

12. I played soccer for over 16 years and now I haven't harldy touched a ball in over a year.

17. I am addicted to the computer at times.

18. I have had three knee surgeries all of which where on my left leg.

19. In college I broke my wrist and it went misdiagonosed for three months. Then I wore a cast for 8 weeks and a wierd machine called a bone stimulator every night for 10 hours.

20. My L5 in my back is broken and I have no idea how I did that but it will never heal or so the chiropractor seems to think.

21. I don't know what I would do if I ever had a boy. I am clueless when it comes to little guys. They are sure cute but we would be in desparate need of help. Luckily, we are done with having babies.

22. Doesn't love to read but if I find a book that is good then I can't put it down.

23. I enjoy bubble baths but I usually don't have the energy to take one at the end of the day.

24. I love having a clean house and part of me actually likes doing the cleaning.

25. I drive a suburban and I love being in a big car. I never thought I would have a big family car but now I don't think I will ever drive a small car again.

26. I once saw a guy sitting outside of our HS waiting in his car. When we walked by on our way back in after lunch we noticed he had a gun. We went to our campus officer to let him know but the dude disappeared. It was really scarey.

27. I have de-ja-vu all the time.

28. My favorite dessert of all time is the Cookie Monster from Cheddar's. I even used to order it take out and go pick one up at 11pm to bring home.

29. I wouldn't have survived my first pregnancy with out Chocolate Lasagna from Olive Garden. Now they don't even make that dessert and it is such a tragedy.

30. My longest relationship before being married was in 7th grade for 6 months to a guy named Jason. My husbands longest relationship was right before we met and it was for 5 years. Needless to say we passed his record after being married for three years.

31. Trey is the first person I ever told that I loved.

32. I love dancing and I still do it my room.

33. Used to go camping with the family and enjoyed every moment of it. I look forward to when the girls get bigger and we can take them camping too.

38. My favorite family vacation was in third grade when we went to Hawaii. I hope to take Trey someday.

39. Went to Disney and could go every year...it was so much fun.

40. Is addicted to cruises. They are so relaxing and possibly the perfect thing for a stay at home mom.

46. I enjoy spending time at the beach but I don't really like swimming in the ocean.

47. I used to be really good at Halo on X Box.

48. I had a cat growing up named Zeke and I miss him so much. He was the best cat and I love him even though he is gone now.

49. Has a major fear of sharks. Once when we were on vacation in Aruba, my mom and I went in a kayak in the ocean. We weren't suppose to pass a certain buoy and before we knew it we were way out there in the middle of the ocean. I was convinced we were goners. We eventually made it back to shore while I sang "Jesus loves me" the whole way back.

50. I am super scared of bugs.

51. I really like reading blogs and wish that sometimes had more important or profound things to say but I usually don't.

52. I loved our wedding and it was everything I planned it to be. However, now looking back and knowing all the things I know now I think we should have just gone to the beach with our family and done the wedding small. Don't misunderstand I have no regrets I just think I am different now than I use to be.

53. I love Jesus and want in my heart to be a better person for him. I am trying daily to honor him in all I do. Some days are better than others. Luckily, he forgives me and still loves me.

54. I have expereinced depression before and learned a lot about myself during that time. I used to be very ashamed of myself but now it is not near as sensitive of a subject and hope that I can just help other who may experience it too.

55. My first date was a blind date.

56. I will always remember Lindsey and Brad for coming to visit me after my knee surgery in HS. They were some of the only people who made me feel like they cared. That has always stuck with me.

57. Going along with 56, small things that others do for me or people in my family touch my heart so deeply. Those things I treasure and reflect on.

58. I like to do things for other people as surprises and random acts of kindness...I just wish I could do them more often.

59. I love it when the wind blows.

60. My sister and I used to fight so bad when my parents would leave us alone at our house. Sometimes I would even lock myself in the bathroom...hahaha!

61. I never thought I would get married.

62. I can't imagine my parents as kids. I know they were it is just hard for me to see them in any other role besides being a parent.

63. Was a member of the 1998 state soccer team...I didn't get to play in the game though because I had ACL surgery and I wasn't out of rehab. It was so hard to watch the whole game. I just wanted to play as well. The team didn't need me, obviously, they won with out my help. It was a life lesson though and I am thankful for being along for the ride.

64. Enjoys a worship session lead by a praise team.

65. Wants to be an amazing Mom but I am always second guessing myself. I try hard but I know I fall short many times.

66. Loves Trey more and more every year that passes by.

67. Started a tradition with Valentine's Day. We can each only use the amount of money equal to the years we have been married to make a gift for our spouse. For example, this year we have been married 7 years so I have $7 to make a gift for Trey. It is lots of fun and we get really creative around here.

68. We have had so many dogs as a family. Some might say that our house can be the Carlile Zoo.

69. I am really from Indiana. My whole family was born there. Even though the majority of my life has been in Texas I will always claim Indiana.

70. Lots of people tell me I have a funny accent. They say that it is partly Texas but something else too...they can never put their finger on it but they say it is different. Don't know what to say about that but so many people tell me that all the time. Wierd!

71. I don't like to talk on the phone.

72. I used to earn extra money as a kid by ironing clothes for my parents. They would pay me by the article. I would spend an entire day ironing and watching TV. It was great spending money.

73. Sometimes I tend to over-analyze stuff.

74. I have really small nail beds. They are abnormally small.

75. I have an elf ear. Don't believe me...ask me and I will show you.

76. My favorite teachers growing up where Ms. Ross 4th grade, Mrs. Reeves and Mrs. Cooper 8th grade.

77. I don't have a favorite color because I change my mind all the time. I like to wear black a lot. I pick out lots of pink things, our room is orange and brown , but I have a red kitchen. See what I mean...I am all over the place.

78. I still miss my Pappa. He died in a car crash shortly after I got married. I think about him all the time and I keep a picture of him around. He is missed in my heart.

79. I got my wisdom teeth pulled and had a horrible experience. Most of the time I try to convince others to not do it unless they have to.

80. I had a college roommate that had quintuplets. (5 kids)

81. My favorite game growing up as a kid was hide and seek. I loved playing it anywhere we went. We even played it at our house with a big group of friends a few years ago. The power went out during a get together so we thought it would be fun. It was great and we had the best time even as adults.

82. When I cry my whole face turns bright red and takes like an hour to go back to normal. Needless to say I am not a "pretty" crier.

83. Thinks My Dad, Me, and Maddie all have the same ears.

84. I like spending time by myself. Not that I like to do it all the time, but there is nothing better than taking a quiet drive by yourself with the windows down or laying in the grass to day dream. Alone time is refreshing to me.

85. I tend to get into reality TV more than anything else on TV. Most of the time there is nothing good to watch and end up just watching a soccer game or some kind of Discovery channel show with Trey.

86. I know most of the Disney Princess songs by heart...thanks to Maddie.

87. My sister-in-law and I both have the same name, both are teachers by trade, both live in Tyler and people always get us mixed up.

88. I really like to fish but I don't like to eat fish.

89. I have been told that I am very intimidating. I don't see how because I am usually shy and if anyone could enlighten me as to how I am intimidating that would be great. Maybe I am too opinionated.

90. My first kiss was when I was in 10th grade.

91. I really enjoy driving around and looking at houses and going down roads I have never been down. Which is ironic because my parents used to make us ride around on Sunday afternoons and I hated it...now I make my kids do it.

92. I asked Jesus to come into my heart when I was seven. I prayed on the side of my bed and remember my Mom was standing in my closet cleaning and crying.

93. Sometimes I eat applesauce straight from the jar.

94. I don't like feet and really don't like it when other people's feet touch me.

95. Have a tendency to overreact about some things sometime.

96. I once tried out for the mascot at my junior high and I didn't even have a routine. I just danced around and probably looked like a complete idiot. It cracks me up that I thought I stood a chance.

97. Most of the time I think that I am so funny and I crack myself up laughing all the time.

98. The funniest story ever is in HS a group of friends were driving down the highway and we poured car wash concentrate out the window at our other friends. Their windshield turned instantly white with bubbles and they had to drive their car with their head out the window to see. We are lucky we didn't kill them. Nonetheless everytime I tell that story I laugh so hard I cry.

99. Bought a golf cart for $1500 and drove it for 6 months at college and then sold it for $2200.

100. Won the cutest Valentine's box decorating contest in 5th grade.

Now that I have shared some random, maybe to personal, nonsense and silly things about me, you probably wish I would have skipped this post and may know too much about me now. Oh well! Just something fun. Might I add that it is hard to think of 100 things to tell about yourself. I am much more boring than I thought.
