25 Things
There’s this “note” being circulated around Facebook “like pinkeye through a preschool class.” You’re supposed to write 25 random facts about yourself and then pass it on to 25 people. I was “tagged” three or four times, so I finally gave in and decided to participate. So, without further adieu:
25 Things ‘Bout Me:
1. One day, I hope to make money blogging. You can help by going to http://andothertimes.com every day and by telling your friends to go there, too. (Shameless plug. Sorry!)
2. My child won’t go to sleep. That makes me sad.
3. I played softball for 11 years: from the time I was 8 until I turned 19. I played half of the fall season during my first year of college and then quit because the girls on the team were… well, let’s just say they listened to N’Sync, okay?
4. Every spring, without fail, I get the itch to play ball again. I often times make Josh catch for me so I can relive my pitching days.
5. My husband and I met online through a “punk rock dating service” that a band from Connecticut set up on their website. The band has since broken up.
6. I have a 20-month-old son who amazes me/bring me joy/frustrates me on a daily basis. I couldn’t imagine life without him (but if I *really* try, I imagine that life would include sleeping in late).
7. I planned a homebirth for Jude’s birth, but ended up transferring after 26 hours of labor because I thought I wanted drugs.
8. I did not get any drugs at the hospital. What I did get was an ass hole OB who was little better than a rapist. I should have stayed home. I regret transferring every. single. day.
9. Speaking of babies. I keep proclaiming that I’m a proud member of the “One and Done” club, but chances are, I’ll have another baby someday.
10. And! If I do ever have another baby, I will again shoot for a homebirth. Only this time, I’ll make sure the doors to our place are locked from the outside.
11. I LOVE yoga but can’t seem to find the money for classes or the time to practice lately.
12. My child still won’t go to sleep.
13. Though I have a college degree, I think I want to be a homemaker for the rest of my life.
14. Each day I struggle to be the mom/homemaker I feel I should be.
15. I love to cook, but have a hard time doing it with a toddler underfoot.
16. My favorite drinks are water, coffee, Woodchuck, and Jameson…not necessarily in that order.
17. Ever since having Jude, I lose it whenever a tv show highlights a sick/dying child.
18. I like my post-pregnancy body a hell of a lot more than my pre-pregnancy body. (And I think Josh agrees-HELLO BOOBS!)
19. I love to read. My favorite books at the mo’ are Garth Nix’s Abhorsen Trilogy.
20. I have a very real and debilitating phobia of bugs.
21. Because of said phobia, the only camping I do is in hotels.
22. I love our new neighborhood a lot more than I thought I would.
23. Dark is my favorite kind of chocolate.
24. I refused to watch _The Office_ for two years, but now I’m addicted.
25. I have a blog. Have I mentioned that? http://andothertimes.com
What is the the address of your blog???
