Quiz of Threes

3 Joys:

1. Todd, especially when he pays a ton of attention to me instead of his homework

2. Knowing there's a baby growing inside of me

3. Family


3 Fears:

1. Taking care of a newborn

2. Cockroaches

3. Being alone outside in the dark


3 Goals:

1. Find the perfect rocking armchair

2. Stay sane for the next year and a half

3. Appreciate every single day I get to spend with Todd


3 Current Obsessions/Collections:

1. Obsessed with watching LOST online. Thanks, Amy Naseath. Your post made me curious. I had never watched it before. Now I'm squeezing in two episodes a day and falling asleep each night thinking about the plot twists.

2. Slowly collecting maternity clothes. I think I'm going to have to start moving faster if I don't want to wear the same shirt and shorts every day next month.

3. Collecting a large pile of pictures I want to scrapbook, and yet, haven't made a page in months. I'm thinking about forcing myself to do 45 minutes of scrapbooking for every LOST episode I watch.


3 Random Surprising Facts About Myself:

1. I love to pluck face hair. I prune my eyebrows thrice weekly, and am always looking for random hairs Todd missed when he shaved so I can pull them out with my tweezers. He also grows prickly hair on the ridges of his ears, and I get to pull those out, too.

2. From 8th-12th grade, I led a group in a week-long celebration titled, "National Spy Association Appreciation Week." I initiated new members each year. We dressed up in wacky clothes and went by spy names, carried around little notebooks and wrote secret observations in them, and had a spy breakfast Friday morning outside the school. I was the Queen Mother Spy. I wish I had pictures of it all, but at the time, I felt it was "confidential," so - nada.

3. I used to HATE to exercise. Now I do it almost every day. Some days I really don't feel like it, but most of the time I crave the energy I get from it. The key is finding activities you like. I prefer pilates, aerobics, and biking.

Ang,.. you're awesome! I feel like I have to check your blog every day or I might miss something. haha. I've developed a love for exercising too,.. but I do running of all things,.. the one activity I always thought I would hate forever I have come to appreciate as long as I can go at my own pace and not have anyone else telling me to push myself,.. haha. I think finding a decent rocker is one of my goals as well,.. though I'm not sure what the big deal is about rockers or how to explain my irrational desire for one because I much prefer to rock my babies in my arms on my feet while i sing to them,.. call it old habit,..but for some reason everyone feels like they need a rocker....well,..at least at my house we rarely used ours preferring to walk the halls,..so maybe some of the rest of your mothers actually used them. :)

or maybe I will start to develop the habit myself once i actually have a baby of my own.

really? You're watching LOST because of me?? Wow, thanks! It is a really insanely good show. The middle seasons are a little different but still worth watching because they lay out an amazing groundwork for the following seasons. We're talking major conspiracy/power mongers here! And it is delectable. ENJOY.
