Things you (might) not know about me on my 38th birthday

Alright, I'm going to try my best to come up with 38 new things to post on my birthday this year. We'll see if I can do it. You can see my birthday post from last year here. 

1. I cannot stand for anyone to touch my belly button- which was tough when I was teaching and pregnant, as my inside out belly button was right at my students eye level. I finally figured out cotton make up remover pads and a little tape would cover it perfectly. 
2. I still have trouble reading a tape measure. I can do full inches, and 1/2 inches, after that it gets a little fuzzy. 
3. I didn't figure out how to tell time on an analog clock until I was in 8th grade
4. Math is not my thing (see 2 & 3)
5. Mornings always start with coffee- homemade iced mocha frappucino to be exact (even if it's cold)
6. Recently hubby and I have really been working on losing weight and eating healthier. I am down to one soda a week (cherry coke) when I go to town to run errands and source (just about my only treat) When things were really bad (depression) I was drinking 6-8 a day. ( I know so bad!) I have lost 30 pounds in the last 3 months, which is my half way goal. 
7. City or Country (country but not as country as where I live right now)
8. dog or cat- cat, but really I'd prefer a bunny- I used to have a classroom rabbit named Wilbur. He had the cutest floppy ears and calico design. Sadly, we only have a fish right now, hubby is allergic to everything else. 
9. Matching furniture vs mismatched furniture- I'd prefer mismatched- preferably all found free on the side of the road at different times
10. I don't eat anything spicy- at all- big red gum is too spicy for me- seriously
11. I don't like it when people pop bubble wrap
12. Sometimes I wonder why everyone in the whole world doesn't just quit their jobs and sell on Amazon and Ebay- I just love my job- I think it's the worlds best kept secret that I can sit in my recliner, in my pjs, watching netflix and drinking coffee while my children play around me and make a living- truly a miracle! 
12. I worry sometimes- ok- a lot- about how my hubby will be doing in a few years- if he will still be able to work and take care of himself- I am fearing that I am possibly seeing some early onset alzheimer's type symptoms starting to appear- which can be common with Traumatic Brain Injury- It's hard to realize that how you thought your life would be isn't how it's going to turn out.
13. I don't like craigslist- we live too far and it's too much work trying to meet people's schedules and then they don't show up
14. I haven't been thrift shopping in 4 months- I am having withdrawls, but I am being a good girl! 
15. I'd never held a baby or changed a diaper until my son was born. Other people's babies freak me out. mine on the other hand, I'll hold all day! 
16. The chore I hate the most- unloading the dishwasher
17. the chore I like the most- loading the washing machine
18. Since I've become a stay at home mom I've discovered that I really like to cook, it makes me happy to cook things from scratch for my family. This is from a person who cooked dry beans in the crockpot for 2 days trying to make something for my hubby, only to discover that you need to soak them overnight. Hubby still tells everyone about the time my beans broke his teeth! 
19. Beach or forest- beach, but I can never really afford to go there- so Forest is where I go the most
20. Favorite childhood book: There's a monster at the end of this book- with Grover
21. My children still use my little table and chair set my parent's got for me when I was a child, my daughter's baby dolls sleep in the wooden cradle my uncle made for me, I might hoard things, but we did use them later on.
22. I don't understand why people collect: spoons, thimbles, plates, Barbie Dolls
23. I think I might have a canning addiction. My hands are still orange from the 50 lbs of carrots I canned last week
24. My favorite thing to do from my childhood is roller skate-but we have no rinks where we live. 
25. I have broken one bone- in my arm- b/c my brother pushed me down the driveway of the local firehouse (we were there because my dad was a volunteer fireman for over 35 years and he was out on a call.  
26. favorite wild animal- monkey
27. dream car -12 person passenger van- I really tried to talk my hubby into it, but he said no. Even when I tried to tell him how much inventory I could fit into it!
28. Only class I ever flunked in school- Weight lifting (they made us take it) I weighed 80 pounds then and the bar alone was 45lbs, and he wanted me to bench press it with weights on it. That was more than half my weight! 
29. I've never been to Hawaii, it's my goal to get there soon!
30. Hubby and I will be married 10 years this summer- the day after my baby boy turns 7!
31. I liked my long hair, but I never could do cool pintrest things with it and it always just looked like a mess, so it's shoulder length now
32.I'm very excited that we might be getting some chickens soon!
33. Google Drive scares me- I can't ever tell what people see from my drive- somehow my stepdaughter was able to see my very huge pregnancy photos, I never wanted anyone to have to see those again! 
34. If my hubby didn't have his TBI and more children wouldn't be more stressful to him, I would totally adopt a couple more
35. I would really like to home school my children, but my hubby is really against it. 
36. most annoying thing- when people talk when you are trying to talk (or when people are talking to you and you are trying to listen- like church or a lecture)
37. if I could I would wear only moccasins, everyday, all occasions, all weather, all outfits 
38.If you would have told me 10 years ago that I would be a stay at home mom, selling on ebay/amazon, with three kids, a granddaughter, a hubby with a TBI and writing a blog about selling, I'd think you were crazy, but look, here I am! (and I'm glad)
