++25 Things about ME++

I figured that this blog has been getting a little more traffic recently as people come to look for baby updates. Sorry, no updates yet. I got to see her again last week (or some really big blobs that sort of resemble baby parts---now I know why they do the ultrasound at 20 weeks). My belly isn't quite measuring as big as it should (a surprise to me) so they just wanted to check on her. She's fine, I'm fine, it's all good. They think she might just end up being small (with that said she'll end up big---as ultrasounds can be so unreliable). If she is, that will be a contrast. I guess Wyatt wasn't born big, he just got big really fast.
No photos to share. Wyatt has been a little out of sorts recently due to the addition of his molars. It's funny this time around because he tells us "my teeth hurt" and even that specific crunchy foods hurt his teeth---and points way to the back of his mouth so I kind of trust him. Right now he is still sleeping at 8am---a very rare occurrence (and a treat for me).
So, with the absence of anything else interesting to post, I thought I would share MY 25 things, which prompted Wyatt's list. I wonder how many of you will learn something you didn't know :)

1. Since getting married 6 1/2 years ago, Mark and I have had 6 addresses.
2. I love Jelly Belly jelly beans.
3. I have been in a Harley-Davidson catalog (or two or three).
4. I actually don't mind doing laundry.
5. I hate the smell of airplanes.
6. I never forget a face (names...that's another story).
7. I believe in ESP.
8. I don’t embrace change well (which makes #1 all the more ironic).
9. I have an irrational fear of thunderstorms after the apartment above us was struck by lightning and completely destroyed by fire.
10. I am the most easygoing person in my family growing up, but the least easygoing person most people know.
11. I love college basketball but hate the NBA.
12. I have lots of big ideas but I seem to run out of the time and energy to follow-through on them.
13. I am a sucker for reality TV.
14. I love a deal. I don’t buy cheap stuff…I like to find good stuff for cheap.
15. I look forward to getting the mail every day.
16. I almost always order fish when I eat out.
17. I am a stickler for details.
18. I love to travel but I hate getting there. Our baby adding phase has recently slowed us down a bit…
19. I am not a risk-taker. My husband calls me “Cautious Katie”.
20. My sister is my best friend and we talk on the phone almost daily…even though we really have very little in common.
21. My favorite color is blue.
22. I have too many pet peeves to list. The good thing is that Mark and I seem to agree on most of them.
23. I keep trying to turn myself into a runner. I’ve made some progress but I’m not where I’d like to be (this has not been helped by my nine-month hiatus).
24. I’m not that into being all made up, but I don’t think women’s toes should be seen without polish.
25. I over think everything…this list included.

It says you guys are kidding yourselves if you think anyone would ever call any of us "easygoing".

Yea! I made the list (#20)! But I would argue that we have a few things in common: blogging, bargains, babies, black licorice...
