100 things about me. (25 at a time) Part II

26. I love to makes cards and scrapbook, I just hate to pull everything out and then clean it all up before I am finished. Someday I will have a huge Christy's Craft Room with a door that locks. Then I can lock myself in and lock kids out when needed.
27. I love old things.
28. I love antique furniture, and new furniture that looks antique.
29. Some day I hope to have a house to fit all my old stuff, and furniture in.
30. I would love to start selling stuff on ebay, but I am afraid I will sell everything I own. When we have garage sales Dennis has to hold me back from going and getting more stuff from the house, because I could make money.
31. I can't do anything half way - it's all or nothing. This is why I can't work and be a mom - I have to put all my energy into one project at a time, and work would probably win.
32. Most of the battles I choose not to fight may appear to be battles worth fighting in other peoples eyes. i.e. what my kids wear to school.
33. I hate dog hair and the smell of dogs. Since I got out voted on having a dog and it's too hot to make her live outside, I bath her once or twice a week, and vacuum 2-3 times a day. I also bought a steam cleaner I use once a month. She is not allowed on the furniture, but the other day I caught her on my bed and had to wash all the bedding. As if 4 kids isn't enough!
34. I hate cats! I am also allergic to them - I get a hairball in my throat when I am around them and I can't breath. I call them hairballs with an attitude.
35. I hate Mr. Bean, but laugh every time I watch him. I just want to beat his head in about half way through the movie.
36. I love to exercise. My dog and I walk a ton, but since that wasn't really helping I added the gym twice a week, and when that wasn't really helping as much as I would like, I added the Firm aerobics three times a week. So now I walk about 2 miles a day, go to the gym twice a week for cardio and weights, and then I do the Firm 3 times a week. This is week two of my program and I have lost 3 lbs. but the best part is I lost 4 inches. I just hope I still love to exercise after doing this for a few more weeks.
37. I invented a great salad for the late night sweet tooth. It's spinach, spring salad mix, sunflower seeds, craisins, and coconut - topped with the Raspberry vinaigrette spritz. YUMMY!
38. I love to go to lunch with my friends.
39. I loved the German Flea Markets.
40. I love to go shooting pistols with my husband.
41. I am a very good shot with my pistol, and if anyone broke into my house they would be dead. I want to put a sign on my front door that says, I have a gun, I know how to use it, I shoot to kill, should you enter without being invited, You have been warned.
42. I am making my children all t-shirts that say My Daddy, My hero with a picture of their dad on them.
43. I sell Close to My Heart stamps just to get the discount because I love the stuff so much.
44. I hate that my husband bought a pure bred, silver lab, that had to be shipped from one of the few breeders in the world, instead of going to the dog pound or Pet Trader and finding a nice dog who was well trained and needed a good home.
45. I love to read with my kids.
46. I also love to read without my kids. I love James Patterson, David Baldacci, and some Nora Roberts.
47. I love to country dance, but my husband doesn't know how - we keep planning on taking lessons but in 11 years it hasn't happened yet.
48. I love to snow ski, my last two years of college, winter quarter I only had classes on M-W-F, so I could ski every Tue and Thurs.
49. I love doing fun craft projects with my kids, but I hate the mess it makes, so I tend to not do it as much as I should.
50. I love my DVR (Direct TV Recorder thing) I can watch CSI, Criminal Minds, Law and Order, CSI NY, Without a Trace, Cold Case, Moonlight, Ghostwhisperer, etc. anytime I want, without commercials. It is awesome! I usually do laundry once or twice a week and I just sit and watch as many shows as I can while I fold clothes.
