25 Things and Such....

This is from my Facebook page, so I thought I would share it here, as well.
I was tagged, which means I am obligated to now write my own 25 things. Something will happen to my best friend's sister's aunt's cousin's uncle if I don't follow what the directions say, so I better do as I'm told. I did this a while back, but let's see if I can think of 25 more things.

1. I hate painting. I absolutely love the finished product, though, so I am willing to put up with the pain.

2. I recently quit coaching basketball. I am in a brief period of denial. It will soon turn to grief and hopefully quickly to acceptance.

3. Macey is the absolute best baby ever. She never cries and smiles all the time.

4. Weeds are from Satan. He has planted weeds in my planter beds just to tick me off.

5. Even though I miss Trinity and her spirit, I really like my new job at Northwest High School (although the freshmen might drive me nuts!) and I'm so glad I made the move.

6. I got paint on my favorite pair of pants, and I refuse to not wear them. I just wear a shirt that's long enough to cover the paint.

7. I've found several gray hairs, and I'm surprisingly ok with it. Not like I want a whole head of them or anything, but the few are ok.

8. I like my new mist shower head. It makes me feel like I'm at the beach!

9. Soft drinks from a fountain just taste better.

10. I have never liked coffee, so I don't see what the deal is over Starbucks and other coffee houses.

11. I don't like dogs, and I never have.

12. I make hairbows for little girls, and I'll sell you some!

13. I love Texas! (The state, not the university)

14. If I could go anywhere in the world, I would go to Greece.

15. I can pop both of my shoulders in and out of socket. You can feel it it you'd like, just ask! :)

16. I don't understand why people (especially strangers) think it's ok to pet a pregnant belly. Hands off, lady!

17. I don't remember the last time I put make-up on NOT in the car.

18. I can juggle.

19. I won my 1st grade and 4th grade science fairs. I also won the 7th grade spelling bee.

20. I'm afraid of falling from heights.

21. I've twice donated my hair to Locks of Love

22. My sister and I used to fight like cats & dogs, but we're actually really good friends now. I don't know what I would do without her. She and her family live all the way in Beijing, China.

23. I have never been snow-skiing. I went when I was 6, and I only went down the bunny slope, so I don't really count that.

24. I really wish I had paid attention more in high school and college. I didn't realize how important learning and education was when I was younger.

25. I've realized that growing older happens so slowly, you don't even realize it's happening. I've always thought of myself as a young, "with-it" kind of teacher, but the other day, I realized that I am more like the parents of my students than I am like them.
