50 Random Things...the last 10....& SMILE!

41.  I met my husband when I was sixteen!
He went with me to my High School Prom. Next week we will celebrate our 19th Wedding Anniversary!

42.  I am finally not worried about keeping up with the Joneses.
Seemed to take me long enough...but I'm glad to be right where I am....and the Joneses have their own mess to deal with!

43.  I became a Christian at the age of 12.
I was on a summer youth retreat! That was just the beginning...I am still a mess, but my journey continues daily!

44.  I do not obsess over germs.
I do carry antibacterial lotion in my car....but I totally believe a few germs can make us stronger.

45.  I have a bad habit of waiting until the FUEL light comes on in my car before I go to the gas station.
I have run out of gas at a busy intersection....I should have learned my lesson.

46.  The most famous person I have ever met is Clint Eastwood.
He was attending a fundraiser for The Theolonius Monk Jazz Institute at Duke University. He is very tall!

47.  I once danced in a 25 hour dance-a-thon for the Children's Miracle Network.
People followed us into the restroom to make sure we didn't take a nap!

48. My best friend is my Mom.
I hope I will be my daughter's best friend one day!

49. My favorite kind of music is....you ready....Country!
I also love Josh Groban, Chris Tomlin, Sarah McLaughlin, and anything Daughtry!

50. I believe that smiling and a positive attitude are essential to a happy life!
Plus...negativity is just so....unattractive!


I must say, at one point I wondered if I would have enough random things to complete this list of 50.
I now know...I could really go on and on about myself.
Saving the rest for a much later time!

And now a song ....because "You Make Me Smile!"
Caution...if you click ....Music will Play!

Don't you feel like smiling too?
And dancing?
Or riding off into the sunset with a friendly dog?

Have a great day!

  1. Love your list! You have such positive energy.

    Have you seen the new movie The Joneses? It didn't get the best reviews, and they beat you over the head w/the message a bit, but I still enjoyed it.

  10. Beautiful list my friend. We would be great friends in real life. we are very similar. I learned that keeping up with the jones' will just steal your joy. I also hate negativity...it is very contagious and something I don't want around me.
    Love all your music groups too.

  11. Love the new header on your blog. I love the idea of 50 random things, can I borrow it? I think it's an awesome way to get to know people and your random things are fun. I'm a total opposite, I panic when the gas gauge gets to 1/2 tank. I have NEVER run out of gas. Love Country (Toby Keith, Dirks Bently, and Brooks & Dunn)and I'm probably a germ a phobe.

  12. I LOVE your list and we have a lot in common. BUT, number 50 is the best one!!!! I agree with you so much on that.

    Have a great week!

  13. The gas light thing...I have run out of gas more times than I can count...once in my work vehicle. Once, in the snow with no cell phone or coat. Once with both my kids in the car...seriously who does that?

  14. I made these quilts from scraps left over from things I'd made them. But I've thought that my littles won't have as many, so I'm going to save other stuff, too. When I gave my daughter hers, she actually spent more time looking at the card where I'd cataloged what each scrap was from.
    And when she came home just before she was married, she brought her quilt. So I know it means something to her. It's worth every second, even just to remember yourself.
