100 Things

I have always liked memes, both reading them and answering them.  They can tell a bit about a person.  This is going to be my list of 100 things about me.

1. I became a confirmed Catholic in 2007.  I don’t know why.
2. I don’t know if I believe in God.
3. I sometimes drink a beer or two in secret.
4. I am very lonely but don’t like to go out.
5. I have no health insurance and get scared senseless if I feel not right.
6. I have 9 horses but don’t ride anymore due to fear.
7. I weigh 260# which is good as last year at this time I was at my highest at 285#.  But I’ve gained 10# since September.
8. I am a terrible procrastinator and yet hate that trait in others.
9. I am ambidextrous.
10. I have dyslexia.
11. I hate doing dishes.
12. I am Swedish, Scottish, Bohemian and Austrian.
13. I was allergic to cats starting at age 10 and now I have a house cat with very little problems.
14. I was pregnant when I got married.
15. I probably never should have gotten married.
16. I am very hard on myself.
17. I used to be a miser about money and last summer I blew it like there was no tomorrow.
18. I buy groceries with intentions of making a delicious meal and then I don’t.
19. I was a vegetarian for 10 years.
20. I drink way too much Diet Pepsi.  I am addicted to it.  It is my cigarettes.
21. When I am disappointed in something I purchase (such as off eBay or etsy) I just keep it to myself because I don’t want confrontation or to hurt someone’s feelings.
22. I bought and ate three stollens.  One off etsy for $22.00 with postage, one from the bakery in town for $6.50 and one at the grocery store, bakery made, for $3.85.  The cheapest was the best, and the most pricey was majorly disappointing.  I left glowing feedback anyway.
23. I used to tell people I was part native american.  Some still believe it.  I am too ashamed to correct them.
24. I have over 500 plastic horses, never mind the  glass and wood ones.
25. I’ve taken Christmas gifts straight to Goodwill after recieving them.
26. I used to think I wanted to be an artist.  Art is too much work.
27. I used to have 80 penpals.  This was before the internet.  I have always been lonely, esp. since getting married as none of my friends were married or liked kids.
28. I hung onto friends even when they long dumped me.  I still do that to a point, searching for them on the internet.  People are really easy to find it you start looking.
29. I was always one to bend over backwards, be the cheerleader, get someone’s career going etc. and not once did I ever get a mention when that person hit the big leagues. 
30. For three years my now mother in law thought my youngest brother was my kid and told everyone so.
31. I still have pain in my back from birthing our first son.  It is affecting my legs now too.
32. I worked in a nursing home for 8 years full time and hated every day of it.  I cashed out my 401K when I quit and loaned it to my now husband so he could pay his taxes.  I wish someone would have guided me better on that one.
33. I hate Christmas.
34. I feel I am letting my kids down but I don’t know what to do for them and I feel like a single parent most the time.
35. I went to school for horse farm managing.  I didn’t graduate.
36. I worked at a dude ranch for $2.35/hr and paid for two years of tech college on it.
37. My shoulders pain me and keep me up at night.
38. I can’t beleive I am 47.
39. I am a jumpy person.   Growing up getting caught doing nothing was not a good thing so I feel I need to keep track of every movement in the house.
40. I used to have exceptional sight.  Now I am 20/20 and feel blind.
41. Same with hearing.  I still hear too much.  Then add jumpy to that…
