Random Things

A blogging friend Lisa did a post about random things and I thought it was fun, so I decided to do one too.

I don't know how many random things I have rolling around in this brain of mine but here goes....

1. My friend Jane says that I have a "trivial mind."  I remember trivial facts that now one else cares about.

2. I wonder why people have standards for others to uphold, that they don't require of themselves.

3. Three of my daughters wear a bigger shoe size than me.  The one who doesn't is 9 years old.

4. My spiritual gift is discernment.  I think that is a tough one, I'd rather have the gift of  Mercy.

5. I am two years older than Tim.

6.  I used to follow the British Royal family very closely during the Diana years.  

7. I am largely self taught.  

8. Many people over the years have thought I trained for being a nurse or at least went to college.

9.  I didn't go to college.

10.  I went to a 2 year Bible School where I met my husband.

11.  Tim and I trained to be linguists.  We have the skills to take an unwritten language and develop an alphabet for that language.

12.  I always wanted to be a wife and mother.

13.  This is going to be a painting and refreshing year for our house!

14. I am addicted to Coca-Cola.

15. I recently have been on a reading tear!  I have read 5 books in the last 4 weeks!

16.  I have great online friends and count them as some of my dearest friends.

17.  I am a big Chick-fil-A fan and am so happy that one opened up in our area!

18.  I love history.

19.  I made a video and posted it on my Facebook page yesterday.  Of me talking.  If I could figure out how to get it posted on my blog I would post it for you.  Isn't that weird?  A few years ago I would never have done that!

20.  After 24 years of marriage, I love my husband now more than ever!

21. My kids are kind of okay too.  :)


22.  I am the only daughter in my family.  I always wanted a sister, but God gave me 4 daughters instead!


23.  My sons are bookends - 16 years apart with 4 sisters in between them!


24.  I am not a big pet person, but we have 3 horses, 2 dogs, 1 cat and 1 chicken!


25.  I want more chickens.


Well, there you have it for now.  My brain was full of randomness until I said I was going to write it down - then it flew away!  I have to head out to drop Emily at the store and go by the bank. 


Have a wonderful day!
