100th Post

This is my 100th post and I saw that on this post I should put 100 things about myself. Some of these y'all may know about me and some you may not. I'll try to make it interesting but right now I'm tired so it may not work out that way. I can't believe I've been blogging long enough to have 100 posts but here I am.

100) I have come to truly love blogging. I just wish there was a way of keeping all these thoughts for my kids to someday read after I'm gone. I need to remember to journal write too.

99) I was born in Rome Georgia, then moved to Pennsylvania, then moved to Kansas to finish my younger years.

98) I went to 3 BYU's, (Ricks College) BYU-Idaho, BYU-Hawaii, and BYU-Provo. Hawaii of course was my favorite, then Ricks, then Provo.

97) I did an internship at Walt Disney World in Florida and loved it. I miss it there!

96) I went on a mission to Provo Utah and served on the Navajo Indian Reservation for a while. I loved that area.

95) I lived in China, Shangdong Province, Zibo for a few months and although it was tough it was great. I went to teach ESL and found teaching very difficult.

94) I met my husband, Larry Dean Saling Jr, online.

93) We got married on our 3rd time meeting. I picked him up over lunch and we eloped to the courthouse.

92) I inherited 3 girls whom I consider my own kids. 2 of them had names I already wanted for kids so it worked out great. Together we have 2 and another on the way.

91) My first job was when I was 14. I worked at a Day Care Center for $2 an hour and had 20-30 toddlers/babies all at once and by myself. Gotta love the days when there weren't any regulations.

90) I'm not sure I can come up with 100 things about myself. This is harder than I thought.

89) I don't like to cook but will every once in a while get the urge to bake.

88) I also don't like to clean but will. Every once in a while I go on a frenzy but not very often, like once a year. Much to the frustration of my family.

87) I love to read.

86) I danced ballet when I was a kid and love going to the ballet still.

85) I enjoy going to Broadway Musicals when they come into town. Les Mis is my favorite so far.

84) I have the best job ever, I get to work from home. I work at night which is tough for me but I love working from home.

83) I am a morning person usually but lately have been tired and will probably stay tired until kids are out of the house and I can sleep in again.

82) The only video games I enjoy are the Wii, Guitar Hero and Rock band. All others drive me nuts.

81) I love being pregnant and will be sad when I have this baby as it's most likely our last.

80) I enjoy watching T.V. There are several shows each night that I like to watch.

79) I love the DVR and can't imagine living w/out it ever again. Amazing invention.

78) I have lousy nails and can't grow them out. They break all the time. So frustrating.

77) I played the violin for 2 years when I was younger. I wish I could stil play it. I'm glad Kaitlyn is playing it, maybe I can get her to teach me.

76) I like crafty things and wish I could do them. I so wish I was more crafty. My mom was and I loved that about her.

75) I took piano lessons as a kid and hated it. Now I wish I could play. I have my mom's piano and will sit at it at times but just can't find enough time.

74) I enjoy keeping up with what celebrities are doing. Crazy I know.

73) I love chocolate, what girl doesn't? But I am starting to like vanilla and strawberry more.

72) My favorite cookies are Chips Ahoy, Chunky Chocolate Chip

71) My favorite holiday is Christmas but I also love Halloween. Actually any holiday is my favorite.

70) I like that my birthday is April 13th and every once in a while falls on Friday the 13th.

69) I love scary movies!

68) I was on the Drill Team in High School

67) I was also a Cheerleader in High School

66) I'm afraid of riding bicycles due to a bad accident or two as a kid.

65) I love suntanning and getting all dark. I wish it was easier to tan than it is now that I'm older. I also wish the tan would stay longer. Getting older just isn't fun.

64) I have my A.S. in Psychology

63) I have my B.S. in Geography: Travel and Tourism. Man do I wish I had stuck with Psychology or something else more useful.

62) I was in Gymnastics for years and could still do splits and back handsprings up until I got married and had kids. Where does all that flexibility go?

61) I was part of a singing group when I was younger that toured the state of Kansas, sang on TV, participated in the 4th of July festivities and then sang at Disney World.

60) I wore braces when I was a kid.

59) Never had a cavity. I did have a dentist tell me I had 2 cavities and he filled them but I'm pretty sure they weren't cavities just cracks from my braces.

58) I started wearing make-up when I was in 6th grade and have let my girls do the same.

57) I was the only girl on my soccer team when I was a kid. I loved that.

56) I don't like to teach but seem to always get callings as a teacher.

55) I get really nervous to speak in front of people.

54) I hate it when people aren't fair. I don't like it when others treat those I love without fairness.

53) I like to think I'm in control but realize I'm usually not.

52) I love to be pampered (pedicures, manicures, haircuts/color)

51) I've never gone to get a massage, they make me nervous.

50) I wish I knew more about politics.

49) I love it when people brush my hair, it is so relaxing.

48) I find blogging and facebook completely addictive.

47) I wish I took or had some time for myself. Selfish I know but some quiet time would be lovely. I must admit that Larry is good about letting me take a nap so I can stay awake for work.

46) I love my kids more than I thought I would or could. I'm amazed by them each day. I have amazing kids.

45) I got my 2 front teeth knocked out when I was in college at BYU-Hawaii. I was working at the PCC (Polynesian Cultural Center) when another worker threw a condiment dish inside a napkin and it hit my in the mouth. Now I have 2 fake teeth that I can't stand. Please ignore them.

44) I have become way more emotional as I have gotten older. I seem to cry at the dumbest things.

43) I like to think of myself as a patient person but I'm probably not. I don't think others think I'm patient.

42) I love to see new places and see what the rest of the world is doing. We get so caught up in our little world we forget that there are others in the world with less than we have.

41) I don't like to get flowers as a gift. I love flowers, my favorite being yellow roses and daisies, but I don't like them as gifts. They die and I'd rather have something that will last.

40) My favorite colors are Yellow and Red and Orange and Green and all of them. It just depends on my mood.

39) I can sleep anywhere, anytime, through anything. That is what college taught me.

38) I love that I married into a family that is so large! It's fun having so many to get together with. I just wish we were all closer to eachother. Plus I wish I could remember everyones names and who they belong to.

37) I'm not a fan of snow and love the sun and warm weather of Texas.

36) I've only been skiing once in my life.

35) I hate exercising but know I need to do it. I really need to lose all this baby weight.

34) I hate people who chomp their gum when chewing it. That is so annoying!

33) I like dogs but I am a cat person. Although right now I'm loving not having ours around.

32) I find it hard to remember how old I am. Isn't that crazy? I'm 33 right now.

31) I love to get dressed up to go out. Too bad we don't do that much anymore. Oh well. I love living in my jammies too.

30) I love working from home because I never have to get dressed and I don't have to fight TX traffic. Man I don't miss those commuter days.

29) I am a pack rat. I keep everything. But I am getting so much better at throwing things away. Thanks Jen for helping me overcome my problem. Now to get Larry to throw some things away. hehe

28) I love to play in the rain, especially with the kids.

27) I stole things as a kid and when my dad found out and made me apologize I learned my lesson. Saying sorry is hard when you know you've really done wrong. Disappointing daddy is worse.

26) I'm good at asking for help I think, ok maybe not great but good. Thanks to all those I abuse. hehe

25) Oh yah, I also played the flute as a kid. Mom always had us doing something musical.

24) I love watching American Idol and Survivor. Not all reality shows are good but I do like those 2.

23) I admit it, I like Brittney Spears and I can't stand Jessica Simpson.

22) It's funny, I loved talking on the phone as a kid and can't stand to talk on the phone now.

21) I bought my wedding dress 4 years before I got married. I saw it and loved it so got it hoping that someday I'd wear it. And I did without a problem, it fit perfectly 4 years later.

20) I can't wait for the day that Larry and I are sealed together for eternity to eachother and our kids. I hope that day comes soon.

19) I love going to zoos. I find them relaxing to walk around. Zoos and Aquariums are so much fun.

18) I love visiting historical sites. I have been to most of the church history sites and I have been to Gettysburg several times. I love D.C. Smithsonians and old cemeteries.

17) I love Country music but will listen to pop every once in a while too.

16) I love Elvis Presley, his music, his movies, and his home Graceland.

15) My parents are converts to The Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints. They both grew up in Missouri and when my dad discovered the church my mom's response was "didn't we kill them all?" I love my parents. They are funny.

14) I love Girraffes. Not sure why but I do.

13) I have an older brother and a younger sister.

12) I like sour candy most. Sour Patch kids are my favorite. Starburst are runner-up.

11) I started driving at age 14. Kansas let us but man I don't know how my parents did it. I see my daughter getting ready to turn 16 and start driving (ok she already drives some) and it scares me.

10) My first speeding ticket included not only me but also my mom because she allowed me to drive when I shouldn't have. My license was taken away for quite a while.

9) I don't like diamonds. I love gems with color. Which is why my wedding ring(s) are not diamonds but sapphires and emeralds.

8) I wish life were simpler. Sometimes modern technology is great but sometimes I wish life was easy like when I was a kid. Why are we in such a hurry to grow up? I hate being a grown up.

7) I think Lemonade is my favorite drink, especially in the summertime.

6) I love to play volleyball but am a pretty competetive person.

5) I truly love my husbands family. No bad in-law stories for me.

4) I love the gospel. I'm so grateful to have it in my life.

3) I love my husband and kids. I love having them around and miss them when they are gone.

2) I love the scriptures and church books/ magazines. They inspire me. I need to take more time to read and study them.

1) I love my life. I am happy. I have trials and chaos but I also have joy and love. I have wonderful family members who support us and pray for us. I have great friends and cherish the blessings in my life.

So now y'all have been bored to tears. This took me 2 days to do and was harder than I thought it would be. I'm glad I did it though and hope y'all learned something about me.
