50 things about me!

Last night at a Girlfriend's Cooking Club gathering, a friend's brother (he considers himself a "girlfriend") said there are 3 kinds of blogs. He then went on to share the different types of blogs...I don't remember many specifics but it was along the lines of 1- a travel blog (people who brag about all of their excursions), 2- a baby blog (people who only blog about their kids), 3- a dead blog (people who start a blog and then never care to post again). I have to say I agree with his theory. Since my blog is pretty much a "baby blog" today I'm setting Henry aside and posting 50 things about myself that you may or may not know. Thanks be to Melinda for the grand idea!

1. I grew up in Kansas and have never seen "The Wizard of Oz".

2. I check to make sure all windows and doors are locked in my house every night before I go to bed.

3. I would rather have a 44 oz Coke than eat a meal.

4. Preston nor I will go to restaurants that serve Pepsi (unless forced by another person).

5. I got pooped on in Kindergarten while sitting at the blue table.

6. I'm extremely independent, yet I hate to be alone.

7. Animals have no place in my life.

8. If I could buy any new car today it would be a minivan, all duked out.

9. I have 2 ear lobes on one ear.

10. I flipped a Go-kart at the age of 10 and had to get stitches in my chin.

11. My mom named me Jessica and said I would never go by Jessie because it was a "fat girl's name".

12. My favorite color is blue but green has been enticing me a lot lately.

13. I hate baths.

14. I love massages.

15. Immunizations scare me, and I'm debating on whether or not to fully immunize my next child.

16. I love to read myself to sleep.

17. If I had some extra money I would get me some DVR.

18. I have an obsession with buying baby clothes...they are much cuter than big people ones.

19. I love to cook, hate to bake.

20. My favorite magazine is Us Weekly.

21. I hate fashion. I'm all about comfort.

22. Biscuits and gravy is my favorite breakfast.

23. I'm a dipper...I love to dip anything and everything! I even "double dip".

24. I played the trumpet in elementary school. I was no good.

25. I'm terribly afraid of mice, but you all know that.

26. I speed.

27. I love to play "remember when...." with family and friends, even if it just happened yesterday.

28. I'm not a tough critic of movies or music. I can listen to or watch anything (besides rap and horror flicks) and find some sort of entertainment in them.

29. I have 3 older sisters, and I don't live near any of them.

30. My first dog was named "Poopsie".

31. If I go without food for more than a few hours I get really cranky and feel as though I may pass out.

32. I hate sand between my toes.

33. I love playing games.

34. I thought I might never be a mom, and now I'm about to be a mother of 2!

35. I married the most patient person on the planet!

36. I see no need to floss.

37. Digital scrapbooking is my only creative outlet.

38. Hot chocolate is comfort food to me.

39. I want my family (come on, Mom & Dad!) to move to Utah!

40. My first car was a black Jeep Wrangler I named "Karl" because he was big and black like Karl Malone.

41. I love sleeping in hotels.

42. My favorite ice cream is French Silk.

43. I don't procrastinate.

44. I prefer quality friends that I wouldn't be worried about running into their room and jumping on their bed in the middle of the night. Surface people bug me. What's there to hide?

45. I played competitive softball for 8 years.

46. I taught elementary school for 4 years to put my husband through college.

47. I want a bigger deck.

48. Nothing beats Thai Chicken Curry!

49. I believe in God.

50. I love to organize and clean.

So there you have it! Now this isn't just a "baby blog" for today.

Oh, you were so good at the trumpet!! "Remember when" we played at the city auditorium with all the elementary schools? "Remember when" we sang in the 6th grade choral festival with all the sixth graders and we though Avery Ab.ernathy was hot?!! I could go on and on.

The Unprocessed Project said...

Oh, and you forgot the newest "fad" among blogs. The "post everything I think is pretty" blog. I'm pretty sick of those.

Jessie - so many similarities - I love sleeping in hotels, as long as I take the comforter off and put it far away - I always have to check the locks each night, even if Mark has - and I have already said before that I am a huge dipper! Also minivans, not into fashion, love playing games, so fun to see all the things we have in common! I also have to agree with "katieandkelly"...i am sick of the "look at the pretty things I found blogs"...so sick of them.

I also have to laugh remembering when how you draw a sunset after growing up in Kansas as opposed to how the rest of us from Utah draw a sunset.

fun to read more about you and get to know you better!

i have so many things to say that i don't know where to start. i've decided we are either dead on the same (animals have no place in our lives) or EXACT opposites...a 44 oz coke instead of a meal? come ON! i might poop on you if you aren't careful.

Jill said...

I grew up in Kansas too. I can't believe you've never seen the Wizard of Oz! Course, I never saw a Star Wars movie until after I was married (DH made me) and some might think that was just as wrong.

Jennifer said...

I love it! This is a great way for me to get to know you a bit! Thanks!

Kristin Haney said...

I love it! Loved your 50 things!!!

I must say Jessie, very interesting! One question: so if you don't see the need to floss, have you had a lot of cavities?

Jessie said...

I did have my share of cavities as a child, but so far, so good as an adult.
