I posted this on my facebook page... I thought it might make a nice addition to my blog since not all of you are facebookers.
Rules: Once you've been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. At the end, choose 25 people to be tagged. You have to tag the person who tagged you. If I tagged you, it's because I want to know more about you.
1. I really like gardening, seeing things grow. I feel sad when my plants die, like my Christmas cactus.
2. I would love to feel that burning motivation to be organized and then actually BE organized.
3. I am working on up-keeping two blogs.
4. I learned on Sunday that wishing for a better tomorrow is not as satisfying as appreciating what you have in the here and now. I want to apply that more in my life. It was a good reminder.
5. I am glad to be a stay-at-home mom. Thank you John for being a good worker bee!
6. My favorite colors are green and blue.
7. I like the number 3, probably because my birthday is on the 3rd.
8. I believe that big backyards help compensate for a small house.
9. The tv show LOST ... BLEH! It's such an aggravating show.. who can watch it?
10. I have a birthmark on my arm shaped like Australia.
11. I tend to make up words and use them in everyday settings. Such as: melty, sneezy, dustpanner, huggles, squeezy or speedy as in speedy fast
12. Sometimes I'll change the definition of a word that others don't understand. Such as Hefty: meaning strong in my world... but most people think I mean heavy or chunky. Example: I need a hefty guy to come lift this heavy box. You've seen the Hefty bag commercials... Hefty hefty hefty... Wimpy Wimpy Wimpy... Makes sense right?
13. I worked a sub-contracted mail route for 4 years.
14. I really like donuts... it's hard for me to not eat many at a time.
15. If we are having a conversation and you say something and I give you an example of a similar thing about me or someone I know, I'm not trying to one-up you... I'm trying to relate with you the best I can. I think many people in my life misinterpret that about me.
16. I really like instrumental music from movies. The Lion King, the man from snowy river and Armageddon are a few of my favorites.
17. I really liked seeing Celine Dion and Josh Groban in concert. Their voices are divine!
18. I've been to more Chicago concerts than you can guess.
19. Sometimes I vent in the way of complaints... I'm trying to have less complaints, and more thankfulness.
20. I appreciate my many AWESOME friends. A few which I've had for many many years.
21. When I was younger, I used to dream all the time that I could fly. In my dream, I could actually feel the physical elation like I was actually flying. You know that feeling when you go over a hill a little too fast and you get that tickle in your tummy...or that first second of a drop on a roller coaster? something like that... I can still remember the feeling.
22. If I could have a special super power? It would be to find things that were lost. (or fly)
23. I have been a sleep walker my whole life. It drives John a little nuts sometimes.
24. When using a hot glue gun someone always get burned, no matter how careful you are.
25. I am durable.

Hi Sherry,
I really appreciated the honesty and sincerity of your list. We discussed the "25 things" list on Sunday in our RS lesson. We discussed how sometimes we think our list is not up to par with what we think the world thinks we should have achieved. Your list proves that you don't need to climb mountains or have notoriety to have selfworth, just the faith to see yourself as our Heavenly Father and Savior do. Reading your list made me happy today. Thanks.
PS Long time no see Matthews Family. Thanks Facebook
I loved reading your list. I know I am one of those, "friends you've had for a long time" but I still learned something new about you. I don't think I ever knew you sleep (slept?) walk. Hummm!
Oh, and I do the same thing of trying to relate to people by sharing my experiences and I agree that it is hard not to be miss thought as someone who is trying to "one up" someone.
