A lot happened this weekend. My oldest son came home for Christmas. I wish he would stay home but he likes it too much in Utah. We had a surprise party for him which was kind of a bummer. The kids were not ready to yell "Surprise". The kids had to convince Shawn it was a surprise party for him. Anyway, we went to church yesterday which was nice. A young man who we have watched grow up is going on his mission to Berlin, Germany. He spoke in church. Then we went home and had a nice dinner. Afterward, Shawn wanted to watch stuff on t.v. that we have had blocked out because it is not appropriate and he whined about not being able to watch it. I had to talk to him about his younger, much more impressionable brother and his tendency to want to watch Comedy Central when there are comedians who say the f word every other word and how it is not good for anyone to hear that all the time. He finally acquiesced.

Anyway, here is 10 more things for my list:

41. I am inconsistent at times. I may say that I love green beans today and tomorrow despise them.

42. When I get stressed I start to forget things. Like putting on my make-up before going out. Very embarrassing.

43. I've always wanted to have long hair. When I was little my mother kept it short. When I was a teen I tried to grow it out but it never made it past my shoulders. Now I try to grow it out and it makes me look older and I don't like that. I'll be 40 in a year and a half and I don't need to look older.

44. I have kissed the Blarney Stone. We went to Ireland in 2001 and of all the things we saw Blarney Castle was not the most impressive. I would have to say that the Torc waterfalls and Bunratty Castle were the 2 coolest things I saw. Also the Derry Pennisula.

45. I do not like to compete. Some people thrive on it. I'm not good at much and tend to lose when I compete therefore I hate it.

46. I don't really have a favorite color. I guess it depends on my mood and the day as to what my favorite color is.

47. I am a pile person. A pile person is someone who makes piles of things to get them out of the way or to do them in order (top being first and so forth).

48. My favorite fruit is peaches if they are from Utah in August. If you haven't had a peach from Utah, I highly recommend going there for one! In late July or early August they are starting to ripen. The cherries are delicious there also.

49. I prefer fiction to non-fiction although if the non-fiction book is entertaining and funny, I usually will not be able to put it down. Two of my favorite non-fiction books from 2004 are Stiff by Mary Roach and Candy Freak by Steve Almond.

50. I hate running or jogging. I think I am going to die from not being able to breath. Also everything on my body seems made of jello when I run and it isn't a pleasant feeling.

Enough for tonight. I am working and shouldn't really be doing this! But it is slow and I am bored.
