Things you might not know..

With all these "# of things you don't know about me" things going around Facebook it reminds me of a blog post my sister did a while back of a long list of things about herself. I always wanted to do it but never did. I'm going to do it now :) it will probably be pretty boring for you but I think they're fun. I can't remember if it was 50 or 100 things.. (Amy, did you delete that post?!) So I'll just see how far I can make it :)

1. If I had the money, i would get laser hair removal in a heart beat. I hate shaving!
2. Also, I really want my eyeliner tattooed on... And eye lash extensions :)
3. I've always wanted to be a stay at home mom, but I never imagined it would be this hard. I never feel like I'm good enough at it. 
4. Most the time, I sleep with no pants. 
5. It's really unoriginal, but my favorite holiday is Christmas. I love everything about it! The music, the decorations, the movies, the smells, the presents, the hot chocolate, the warm clothes, everything. 
6. I hate big crowds. From shopping, to get togethers. I'd rather just be home. 
7. There are so many things I want to do with my life, but I'm a scaredy cat. 
8.  My favorite color is grey, and I have way too many bland, colorless clothes. 
9. My most favorite smell in the whole world is a baby fresh out of the bath and all lotioned and baby powdered up. 
10. I would wear pajamas all day everyday if I could. 
11. I don't shower everyday. Thank goodness for deodorant and dry shampoo! 
12. I watch way too much tv. 
13. I guess what I'm saying from # 10-12 is that I'm pretty lazy. 
14. If I could have any super power, I would read people's minds. 
15 It's been about 2 months since I've made a real, home cooked meal. Poor Clark. 
16. I am completely obsessed with Owen. I could seriously just watch him all day. I think he is the cutest thing ever, and everything he does is adorable. 
17. I'm so, painfully shy. I think it's getting worse the older I get. And I hate seeing it rub off on Owen.
18. Once, I made my sister call my work and pretend to be me and quit. 
19. I get really obsessed with people and try to be just like them. In jr high it was Hermione Granger. I have multiple journal entries covered in her photos. Embarrassing. 
20. Clark and I most definitely don't have a perfect marriage. But I couldn't imagine going through this life with anyone else. 
21. When I was little, I thought I could talk to cats by thinking about what you wanted to say while meowing. 
22. I love to have a clean house, but rarely clean. 
23. I'm afraid of growing up. I wish I could stay at this stage of life forever. 
24. I have a problem with spending money. I am always spending too much and I think about things I want to buy constantly. 
25. I HATE getting ready for bed. Brushing my teeth and washing my face when all I want to do is crawl in bed is the worst!
26. I absolutely loved being pregnant with Owen and missed my baby bump when it was gone. 
27. I also had the best labor experience. I remember thinking in the delivery room right after I delivered Owen that I could totally do that again. 
28. I hate exercising. I can tell I'm losing my body but I can't get myself to do anything about it. 
29. I wish almost everyday that my sisters lived close. 
30. I hate it when people cough. I know it's mean, because they can't help it. But when people cough over and over again, it makes me so mad!
31. I love buying people gifts, and usually put way too much thought and stress in to it. 
32. I used to hate my dimples but I don't mind them so much anymore. And I love that Owen got them. 
33. One of my favorite things to do is go out to dinner. 
34. Another favorite thing is going to a movie. 
35. I was so afraid of having boys that for a long time I told Clark I didn't want to have kids. Now I could have all boys and be completely happy (but I still want a girl). 
36. I don't have a favorite food. 
37. I overthink everything!! Just ask Clark. Even the dumbest, little things get way too much thought. 
38. Once me and my sister got in trouble at a mall in salt lake for taking coins out of the fountain. He told us if we didn't stop we would get kicked out. It scared me so bad I peed my pants a little.
39. When I was in fourth grade I got a concussion by getting hit in the head with a baseball bat. I had medicine that my mom had to stick up my bum. I'm still so embarrassed about it. 
40. I love taking pictures. If I could be anything I think I would be a photographer. 
41. I think I fell in love with Clark first, but he said it first. 
42. I don't remember a lot of dates while we were dating. Like the day we first held hands, or our first kiss, or even the day we got engaged. I wish I would have written it down. 
43. I love cold, rainy days. 
44. I HATE the fact that I'm older than Clark. 
45. I used to have anxiety attacks when I was younger when I would think about how I was stuck with myself forever. I know how Clark must feel ha!
46. I think I've clipped Owen's toe nails like three times in his life. Gross. It's just such a pain
47. I love spending time with my family
48. I'm not a super religious person, but I do have a strong testimony of the church.
49. I love cats. Hate dogs. 
50. I haven't been a huge reader since Owen was born, but I love the cheesy, teeny-bopper books like twilight. 
51. I'm not a morning person or a night person. 
52. One time I sent a very inappropriate text that was supposed to go to only Clark to a group text with all my friends. I wanted to die. 
53. I have a problem comparing myself and my family to everyone else. Everyone's lives seem so perfect. It's something I'm working on. 
54. I love decorating cakes. But it is so hard and so stressful. I'm too hard on myself. 
55. I would rather do almost anything else but make a phone call. 

Okay, that's as far as a can go. Whew! That was hard! Hopefully it wasn't actually 100 things or else I didn't come close! 

Halloween

Halloween is one of those holidays I didn't really care for after I outgrew dressing up and trick or treating. But Owen has definitely brought back the excitement for me. Every year I want to dress up as a family in something cute and themed. Maybe next year? 
I had a hard time deciding on Owen's costume. In the end I went to costco the week before Halloween and this monster costume was the only one left. Good thing he makes a stinkin cute little monster :)
He had so much fun. After he got over his fear of his costume, he loved wearing it around and "roar"ing. We went to my parents trunk or treat. He got way to used to people handing him candy. He would hold out his hand and then refuse to put it in his bucket. By the end his arms were full. And he wanted to eat it all. Right then. In fact, the first thing he got was a Capri sun from his grandmas trunk and we had to let him drink it, he was just too excited. 
Luckily, he's all but forgotten about his candy sitting on top of the fridge. Me and his dad, on the other hand, have not. :)
