I don’t really have too much to write about, but I wanted to post something!   I am trying to get used to the new schedule now that the kids are back in school.  I am enjoying the quiet in the mornings when I am the only one here that is awake!  I really should start going to bed earlier though.

I think today I am just going to tell you some random things about me.  If you know me very well you may know some of these, but you may not!

• I don’t make friends easily.  I have never really had a best friend, at least not since grade school.  It’s harder to make friends when you get older, I think, especially if you stay at home all the time!  I have a few online acquaintances, but I don’t know if it’s fair to call them friends.  I think that if you don’t communicate regularly that negates the whole being friends part.  I have people that I talk to at church, family, etc…but not someone that I go and do stuff with, you know?  Jake is my best friend, as lame as that sounds to have your husband be your best friend!  It’s 100% true though…he is the only adult that I talk to every single day.
• I have a weird thing about showers. Not the kind that get you clean, but wedding and baby showers.  I think that it’s in poor taste for an immediate family member to give a shower, I know that I am not the only one who feels this way.  I think it’s a general rule or etiquette, isn’t it?  Also, I only go to one baby shower for any given person.  The way I see it, a baby shower is for a new mother to help her prepare for her first child (the same as a wedding shower is to help you prepare for the home that you will share as a married couple).  So, when you have your 2nd, 3rd, 4th (whatever number) child and you have a shower and I am not there you know why!  I have no problem giving a gift to you for the baby after you have the baby, I do that with friends and family with every child.  I just don’t think that it’s appropriate to have a shower for any child but the first.  If you are my sister and you have a shower for your 2nd child…I will not come, it’s nothing personal…that’s just how I roll!
• I am an English major, and I have been for almost 20 years now!  I quit college after one semester when I first went right out of high school.  I was a horrible student and that point!  After I had Bailey, I wanted to go back, so when she was a year old I did.  I went for 2 years until I got pregnant with Colton.  I didn’t want to have to quit halfway through the next semester when I had him so I didn’t go pack when the next year started.  I still haven’t gone back.  I think I am going to shoot for next fall.  I still have 2 years left to get my degree…I don’t know what I am going to do with it, but I want it.  I would love to be a writer and I know I don’t have to have a degree for that, but I also don’t think that, even with a degree, I have the creativity for it.  I would like to teach, but I don’t want to teach high school.  If I teach I would like to teach college lever literature.  Can I get an English degree and teach Paranormal Literature as opposed to English or American Lit??!!!  That’s my dream really!
• I just finished reading my 87th book since the start of 2010 and my 194th book since the start of 2009.  I probably don’t need to tell you that I love to read!  Almost every book that I have read in the past 2.5 years has had a paranormal twist to it, be it vampires, werewolves, time travel, magic, angels, etc…
• I don’t like girly movies for the most part.  Don’t get me wrong, I like a good romantic comedy, but given the choice I will go for action, horror, suspense, comedy any day.  Besides the Twilight movies the only movies we have seen in the theater lately have been horror or comedy.  On the topic of movies, if I like a particular actor (who me?!) I will watch any movie he is in, no matter how bad it may be!  I frequently find myself on kicks where I will watch anything I can get my hands on if it has someone I like in it.  Case and point…Little Ashes, How To Be, Ring of the Niebelungs, none of which were particularly great movies, but they all had Robert Pattinson in them.   I am nothing if not loyal…right?!
• My particular obsessions right now are Aiden Turner from Being Human, Alexander Skarsgård and Joe Mangianello from True Blood.  I am all about the supernatural these days!

Ok, I think that’s all the sharing I am going to do today!  I have LOTS of work that needs to be done.  Have a great day!
