25 Random Things about ME!

Well...I was finally tagged for 25 Random Things...so here we go!

1. I got my first haircut at 25 years old! Yup, you heard that right, not even a trim till 25...now it's a short A-Line cut above my shoulders...dyed and high-lighted!


2. I got a tattoo and pierced my ears for the first time at 24...guess I'm a late bloomer!
3. I have been with my Hubby for 16 1/2 years...since I was 13.
4. My favorite place to be is outside sitting around a fire pit, surrounded by all my best friends and family. Doesn't matter if we're camping or just out in the backyard...that's where I want to be.
5. I've lost 65 pounds and kept most of it off for 2 years....only a crapload more to go! lol
6. We have 2 cats, 2 dogs, 6 fish and a Pacman Frog...just a little bit of a zoo! And now the girls want Hermit crabs! aaahhhh!
7. I LoVe to cook...but hate to clean! Would be more than willing to cook every night as long as someone else did the clean up! ;)
8. I'm a clutz! I get the dropsies ALL of the time...especially when we are entertaining and I'm under pressure..ughh!
9. My friends call me 'Martha'...don't ask!
10. I've given my kids more nicknames than they can remember, but they answer to every single one of them!
11. I am terrible at making decisions...don't even have a favorite color!
12. I am a Gemini...sometimes that evil twin gets me in trouble...that's all I'm gonna say bout that! hehe
13. I'm a packrat...and it drives Adam nuts!
14. I cannot, for the life of me, tell a joke....or participate in one. I tell them wrong or give it away every single time!
15. I love to read but never have the time anymore...less I neglect my hubby, house and kiddos! lol
16. After 29 1/2 years of life, I finally *know* that I am beautiful..and that my husband loves me more than life itself...Thanx babe!
17. My favorite food is sushi...or maybe Thai...or Indian...or Greek...or...dang! told you I was indecisive. I just LoVe FOOOOOOD! MMmmmmmmm
18. As much as I love my Hubby and kids, I love a good, girls only, weekend. Good food, good company, good margarita's ;) and nothing at all to worry about for 2 or 3 days...ahhhh...bliss!
19. My favorite time of the day is after the kids are in bed and the hubby and I hit the hot tub, even if only for 15 minutes...I'm so glad we bought that thing! :D
20. Sometimes, even on work nights, Adam and I will lay in bed with the lights out and talk until 2 am. I am so grateful that after all these years of being together we can still connect like that :)
21. I love watching UFC fights! Shameful, I know! No-holes-barred, bloody, brutal fighting...love it! Even took second place, over all but one of the guys, in our last betting poole...so take that! :p
22. Even with as opinionated, strong-willed and loud-mouthed as my two girls are...I still think they are the smartest, most beautiful, most wonderful little girls in the whole wide world! Wish I had more time to spend with them...
23. My husband is my Best Friend...and I wouldn't have it any other way.


24. My favorite drink is Rum and Diet...or maybe Grande Melon and Fresca....or a Strawberry Daquiri (our secret recipe!)...Crap! I'm doing it again!lol
25. I think the best way to explain me is as a contradiction in and of myself. I'm sweet and vicious, caring and ruthless, generous and selfish, nice and naughty...all at the same time! hehe

This is my Hubby, isn't he cute!? We have been married for 8 1/2 years but have been together for 16! Can you believe he's put up with me for that long? lol. He is hard working, generous to a fault, loving, caring, handsome and he's one strong-willed man! He is a wonderful father, loving husband and the best kind of friend...MY Best Friend, in fact. I just can't say enough good things about him! He is the life of the party, the instigator, the adrenaline junkie and the man everyone goes to for everything. He's the one you call at 2 am when your car's broken down and your stuck halfway home from Vegas. He's the one who takes time off of work to drive you 10 hours to arrange your father's funeral and attend to his affairs, just because he doesn't want you to have to face it alone. He's the one you can tell anything...anytime, day or night...he'll always be there and he'll never break your confidence...never. He's the one you call for help re-modeling your basement (although, we are calling that one in now, aren't we guys!? lol), fixing your 4-wheeler or just for advice on finding that next great deal. He's the guy that would stand up for any friend in any situation and defend his wife and children with his life. He's my Hubby, my Mr. Fix-It, my partner in all things, my Hero, my Best Friend, my Soulmate....MY LIFE! To my "Forever Valentine" Love you Hun.... Always & Forever!
