(Yes, you. If you have a blog, do this too. Don't leave me dangling here all by myself being vulnerable and all-disclosure-like.)
I am blonde. On my head and in my heart.
I think tanned feet are sexy.
I know I'm not easy to live with. Jeesh. All that emotion.
I have a blessed life. And webbed toes.
I wish everyday was Thursday. And that I had settled us into a church the very next Sunday.
I hate my stomach, having to get up early and dirty toilets.
I miss Scrabulous on Facebook and my dad's big, happy, generous personality.
I fear that not everyone I love with be spending eternity in Heaven with me.
I smell fresh peaches, sliced limes and chocolate cupcakes.
I crave laughter with my kids.
I search the internet for things to do in Montreal and Quebec City that aren't sucky.
I wonder wonder wonder wonder, WHO. Who wrote the book of love? (No I don't. Just have that song stuck in my head.)
I regret not trying harder.
I love winning at Scrabble, going to movies, traveling with friends, watching the food network with my kids and taking pictures. Oh. And God. I love God.
I ache like a 72 year old arthritic woman waiting for knee and hip replacements.
I am not going out tonight. This will be my third consecutive evening at home. A record.
I believe that Jesus is God's son and that He died for my sins. This makes me a Christian.
I dance whenever Drew isn't watching.
I sing poorly but with enthusiasm.
I fight sometimes. And sometimes I just pray.
I cry often. Like, when I'm worshipping with thousands. Or when I'm singing the national anthem. Or during sad parts of a movie. Or happy parts. Or during sad parts of life. Or happy parts.
I win rarely. But that doesn't matter. I still like to play.
I lose self-confidence with every pound of weight I gain.
I never eat raisins.
I always wash my face twice a day.
I confuse my kids when I talk about feelings.
I listen. I really do. Tell me again.
I can usually be found in front of my computer. How sad is that? I wish I could be the sort of person who's answer would be: I can usually be found in the garden. Or I can usually be found in the care home, reading to the elderly. Or I can usually be found in the half-way house, caring for the orphans. But no. I can usually be found in the glow of a computer's monitor.
I need to get a pedicure. No really. I need to.
I am scared that my boys won't make good decisions.
I am happy and I know it, clap my hands. When am I happy? When I have a good hair day. When Max smiles. When Clint talks. When Drew shares.
I imagine a 'beach house' retirement.
'K. Your turn.
