Moi




Moi.....That is me in french... or at least I think it is.  I googled it. A lot of the blog lately seems to be dedicated to my kids and or what has been going on with the whole adoption/foster situation.   I am not complaining!! Trust me. I am happy that my blog is finally about something besides me, myself, and I.  However I know with the blogs that I read I sometimes think... Okay I like your kids but I am friends with you not your kids.  What is going on with you!  So I decided to list a few random facts about me right now.

1.  Lately I have been starting every morning with a smoothie.  They use to make me kind of gag but now I crave them and love them.  It is a great way to get some of my fruit serving in.

2.  After starting to redecorate my house I have realized that everyone of my rooms has blue in it as one of the main colors.  I guess I am really drawn to the color because I did not do it on purpose.

3.  I could never understand how people use to drink milk with dinner or lunch but lately I have been drinking milk with dinner.  I guess my body is craving it.

4.  Speaking of milk... I always drink ice in my milk.  I like my drinks really really cold and milk never seems to be cold enough.

5.  It has been hard because I am not a huge pink lover and I find that "all things little girl" come in pink pretty much. However I am becoming more in love with it when you see it on cute little girls.  Nothing looks bad on them.

6.  I love jewerly but rarely wear it.  I always see someone wearing it and think "man that just really makes their outfit" So I will go and buy some.  By the time I wear it, I feel like it is strangling me.  It gets caught in my hair or gets all twisted around.   So for special occasions I can wear a necklace or earrings but never a bracelet. It makes me feel to claustrophobic.

7.  Since I do not wear a lot of jewelry I usually accessorize with hair accents like headbands or flowers.

8.  I would describe my style as a vintage bohemian feel.

9.  The only vegetable that I can not choke down is a carrot (at least out of the ones that I have tried.) They just make me gag.  However, I always think they look fun to eat because of how crunchy they are. So I try them over and over again thinking that maybe my adult taste buds have evolved, but NOPE!!!!

10.  I just realized a lot of my random facts revolve around food and that kind of makes me sick.  On to think of more random facts.

11.  I use to think it was fun to have a unique samoan name as my last name when I got married.  Now I just find it annoying because I have to spell it a million times and pronounce it for everyone even more than that and then everyone just wants to debate if that is really how I pronounce my last name.

12.  I am obsessed with taking last names and making them first names. Like when we had Smith.  I wanted to name our little boy Jones instead of Reeve but Milton vetoed it.  Maybe for our next boy I can convince him.  None of my readers better steal that name. LOL

13.  When people talk about where they want to settle down and stay.  I have no clue where that is for me.  We have family all over the place.

14.  I want to try to live on the East coast one time in my life because no one in my family has ever done it.

15.  When people ask me what is your favorite holiday.  I always want to say Halloween because I really  really love it and get into it. However I always say Christmas because that is when I get to see my family and that tops everything. Plus Christmas represent Christ.

16.  I acknowledge that I am a horrible writer and that is why my blog is not very popular. However I can rock people's sock off in Math.

17.  I wish I have a hobby that I still do. I use to be really involved in theater but since being married I have always had something that I have to do at night....hence no theater.

18.  I am not big on paper products. What I mean by this...if I get someone a present I rarely get a card.  I just let them know it is from me and if I have something sentimental to say I try to write it in a letter. People throw cards away but they do not throw heart felt letters. For the same reason I do not do handouts with my yw lessons.  They throw them away and all I can think is wasted ink and wasted paper.

19.  With new age technology I am horrible about printing off pictures.  All my pictures are saved on a external hard drive. I always promise myself that I will print them one day.  Well that one day in 10 years has not happened.  Not looking forward to it when it does because I will be picking up like 1001 pictures and paying around that much for them.

20.  I use to be a morning person (probably a little too much) but since my thyroid problems I am really grumpy in the morning. It takes all I can to say hello to the kids in the morning in a nice voice.  After an hour of waking up though I am good.

That is all I can think of for now.  So until my next post about me, myself, and I.....I would really like to hear random facts about other people. I think it really lets you get to know a person.  So if you are reading this and you have a blog....please do one.
