In retrospect...

After a long day at a PD workshop for school...and a FAST start to my morning, due to my turning my alarms off and falling back asleep...I find myself sitting on my couch ready to go to sleep at 7:19. Especially since I've got to get up and doing it all over again tomorrow and CAN'T oversleep again. Aye-aye-aye.

Anyway.

In an effort to keep myself entertained (with something other than laundry) I started looking back through my old blog (the one prior to this one) and found a list of 160 things that back in 2004 I thought people needed to know about me. Here are some things that all still ring true have been accomplished or are still wishes...and some that just make me laugh.

2. If I'm having a bad day during the winter and you want to make me happy, buy me a pair of socks. (Still true. I love fun socks.)
17. I hate wearing shoes.
23. Whenever I go on trips my least favorite time is when we get on the bus to go home. I love getting delayed because that means the trip lasts longer.
25. I like sunglasses, but more for the "on the top of the head" look than actually wearing them. (My kiddos at school will draw pictures of me with sunglasses on my head.)
29. I absolutely LOVE bowling.
30. I can't remember a game of Putt-Putt golf that I didn't blatantly cheat during at some point. (True. Still.)
31. I love playing Lazer tag (Still the case. Except now, I know how to spell Laser.)
32. I hate when people say they are going to do something and then don't.
33. I find info-mercials strangely addicting.
36. I love playing card games.
37. I love playing board games.
39. I'm a huge pack rat.
40. I'm a hopeless romantic.
54. Beauty and the Beast is my favorite Disney movie.
55. I want to be Belle on Broadway. (Or a cartoon voice. I won't be picky.)
61. I LOVE baseball.
66. I hate purses. (I at least carry one now!)
67. I love scarves.
72. I want to have clocks in my house with different time zones on them. (I have them! 5 of 'em!)
75. I could watch Boy Meets World all day long...
76. And an even better day would be Boy Meets World and Full House playing every other one. (This can't possibly be shocking.)
80. I hate going to bed mad at someone.
82. I'm a blog reader junkie. (Who me?!)
87. My grandmother used to be a clown.
91. Some day, I want to go to the Container Store. (One is coming to Green Hills! YIIIPPPEEE!)
96. I could (and do) listen to Christmas music year round.
105. I'm a night owl.
106. I HATE getting up early. (See start of this blog post about ignoring my alarm.)
123. My favorite flower is a rose. (Although I do love daisies and tulips now, too.)
124. I love laughing.
125. I love getting real mail.
130. I threw up in the sanctuary at BUMC during the Midnight Christmas Eve service after almost passing out in the chancel (choir loft). (Still makes me cringe. And laugh.)
149. I could go to Target any time of the day or night.
150. I'd rather sleep on my stomach than any other way.
158. For a long time, I wouldn't wear pants without pockets because I wouldn't have anywhere to keep the rocks I found on the playground.
160. I want to get my cartilage pierced for my 21st birthday. (Didn't happen for my 21st, but it did happen!)

It makes me laugh how so many of these things are still true. Does that mean I was just super mature in 2004 or that I haven't grown up? Don't answer that.

What are some things you want people to know about you?
