101 Random Things About Me... cont.

65. J recently had his yearly evaluation at work & was given a WAY above average raise. He is seriously breaking records for his company! I'm so proud!

64. I still have SO much to do to make this house a home. Even though J seems to think that since our dishes are here, everything is done.

63. We don't have a sofa yet. We're going to Ikea this weekend to pick one up... among other not so equally important furniture.

62. I want more people to read my blog. Who am I writing for? Leave me a comment!!

61. The Pug seems to think he can just sleep anywhere. Including my clean laundry which is on the bed.

60. I finished the travel packets for our Chicago wedding guests last night. They're so cute & I can't wait to give them out!

59. I have 2 younger sisters who are incredible! And I really mean that, I'm constantly impressed with their lives.

58. I really wish that all our families were in the same town. When I grew up all my family were in a 5-mile radius of each other. I'm sad I won't be able to give that to our kids.

57. I am not pregnant.

56. I am IN LOVE with my in-laws. Seriously I feel so lucky. From J's mom & dad to his siblings & even his friends... they are all wonderful. I'm so happy to get to be their family.

55. I just got off the phone with my grandma who is my hero. Seriously this woman raised 5 kids & touched a million lives. I want to be her.

54. Thursday nights are big 'going out' nights in this college town. I will be spending mine organizing our closet & setting up our bedroom furniture.

53. Gainesville is AWESOME! We have rolling hills (in FL!), trees, peace & quiet & a great nightlife, amazing locally owned restaurants. There's such a sense of community here I haven't felt since I was in New Orleans.

52. I'm writing this while my heart is gushing. J went to get his hair cut today & on his way back he told me he wanted cuddle time. He is the best thing since sliced bread.

51. I'm a little eclectic. And by that I mean crazy.

50. I used to make fun of my BFF/cousin/MOH when I was growing up, so much that she called me the evil cousin. It took one summer to change that & one hurricane to forever make our friendship as strong as it is today.

49. One day I may be writing about my kids on this blog. Weird, but in a good, life-is-always-changing kind of way.

48. I'm really into DIY'ing and designing & anything creative.

47. I have tens of unfinished projects I would love to knock out.... someday.

46. I would love a graphic design project right now. If I don't get one soon, I may do something for our place. Maybe a big print that ties in all the silly colors in the living room... hmmm!

45. Frames, mirrors, & kitchen gadgets are my favorite things to buy for our house.

44. Shirts, games & food are my favorite things to buy for J.

43. Dresses, makeup & books are my favorite things to buy for me.

42. The Pug gets treats & stuffed animals. He's just happy when we come home from shopping.

41. Our neighborhood has a farmer's market on Wednesday I wish were bigger.

40. Life's compensation for the previous is a close town that is FILLED with antique shops. We bought my baby sister's guitar there. The cutest green guitar I tried to name Gumby or Gimpy or something.

39. I feel like too many people obsess about work & other unimportant things. I mean I understand you have to make a living, but you also have to make a life.
