Here's MY problem....once I get my mind in that mode to THINK of things like that, my brain won't stop! So for the last two nights, I havn't been able to sleep, cause random thoughts kept popping into my head. The first night was ok, cause I stayed in bed and hoped that I'd remember my list in the morning...last night was rediculous and I snuck out of bed and finished my list at 11:30 at night! This is insane! I'm sure by the time I'm done typing it all out on here, I'll have another 200 facts to write!
So here it goes, 150 random things about me that you never wanted to know, but I'm gonna tell you anyways!

#100 My kids are very smart and love to read, just like me
#101 I'm an insomniac. It takes me HOURS to fall asleep, and I toss and turn like crazy. I dont know what it would be like to sleep through the night...but I'd love to find out someday!
#102 I can control most of my dreams. For example...I can wake up in the morning, and then go to bed that night and start back from where I left the night before. I have had dreams last up to 2-3 weeks. I love most of my dreams..they freakin rock!

#104 My dad works for amazon.com, yet I've never been given a book

#108 I think Victoria Canada is one of the prettiest places on Earth!

#118 I never wore flip flops until a few years ago...and now I wear them 365 days a year! Or so it seems...
#119 I love the smell of orange blossoms
#120 I'm obsessed with Bath and Body works and Victoria's Secret sprays
#121 I hate my teeth
#122 I had a teacher in high school that had a crush on me
#123 15 different houses in my neighborhood have a direct line of sight into my backyard-this is the #1 reason I won't be caught sunbathing out there!
#124 I have two cupboards full of ribbon
#125 I have 3 cupboards and 8 shelves full of paper, and it's all organized into page kits. This DOESN'T include my cardstock!
#126 I am highly sensitive to sodium and blow up like a balloon when I eat it
#127 I am sensitive to caffeine too, and if I drink any caffeinated drinks after 1pm, I'm up all night!
#128 Jacob's first sentence was "Hey good lookin, whatcha got cookin?"
Jordyn's first big sentence was "You bet your sweet bippee"
Jadyn's first big sentence was "Monkey in your underwear!"
(don't know where they get their personalities from!"
#129 I made the cheerleading team in jr high, but couldn't afford the uniform, so I wasn't allowed to be on the team....seriously!
#130 I can beat the Super Mario Bros game =)
#131 My brain age is 33
#132 I've lived in southern Cali for over 5 years, and have YET to go to Universal Studios!
#133 I have a better relationship with my sister now than I did when I was a teenager. I think it's cause I no longer read her diary and tell mom!
#134 I wish I was a better auntie
#135 I SUCK at thank you notes and any kind of snail mail for that matter-always have!
#136 When I graduated from high school, I was preparing to go to art college. Then I got pregnant with Jacob. I wouldnt take that back for anything in this world!
#137 I make really good smoothies
#138 On Jacob's 1st halloween, I dressed him up as a crossdressing baby, complete with dress and wig. I have pictures!
#140 "You are my sunshine" is one of my favorite childrens songs. WHen I was a preschool teacher, I made my students sing it to me every day. It drove the director crazy!
#141 I weigh myself every day. SOmetimes up to 10 times! I know its obsessive and I hate it, but I just can't help it! I need serious therapy!
#142 I'm afraid of natural disasters...seriously...terrified...
#143 I'm also afraid of burglers, kidnappers, house fires, and anything that could potentially harm my family...maybe THIS is why I don't sleep well at night!
#144 "Cloudy with a chance of meatballs" is one of my favorite childhood books.
#145 I daydream when I'm driving...a lot!
#146 I'm really good at Poker!
#147 I have a really hard time dealing with the fact that some people mean more to me than I mean to them
#148 I'm not happy with a lot of things I had done in my past, and I don't know how to move on so it doesn't effect my future.
#149 I miss a lot of my old childhood friends and think of them often!
#150 If I could close my eyes and picture my dream home, it would look something like this...(this isn't exactly the look of the front of the house, but the wraparound porch)
and the inside would look something like this...
Since I'm a mind reader and all, I know that my friends are thinking "this looks NOTHING like the style of Jill's house right now."
and my mother in law is thinking "wow, that's an awful lot of white for a house with kids"
and my hubby is thinking "in your wildest fantasies, babe!"
and I'm thinking "when I win the lottery and my kids are grown up and moved out...I can do anything I want, so there!" =)
Anyone that has read all 150 of these is totally a true friend! Others that stopped a long time ago, probably think I'm psycho by now!
BTW...this, of course, is just the beginning....my mind never quits!
