What were your “25 Random Things”?
devoted coverage to the phenomena which I think means it’s time to take a look back and see what’s changed, what’s the same and maybe what we wish we hadn’t said. I invite you to share your “25 Random Things” list in the comments below. If you are a blogger, this is an easy blog post – link back here or put a link in the comments below.
Here’s my list from January 17, 2009:
1. I always put the toilet lid down before flushing. You should to. 2. For several years when I was little my dad owned a small Cessna airplane. Except for my dad’s airplane, I have not flown since I was 3. 3. I am very funny. Sometimes other people even agree with me. 4. I am often stunned at how beautiful, smart and funny my little girls are. 5. I’m not entirely sure what my natural hair color is. 6. I have a spiritual director I meet with once a month. 7. I will be putting pictures of the plants I start from seed and grow under lights up on facebook all spring. They make me very, very happy. 8. I’m not a very good gardener. But I am sure that in 10 years I will be. 9. I did prison ministry in college. 10. I am taking the test to join Mensa next Saturday. 11. I’ve never met anyone I like (and sometimes hated) as much as my husband. 12. I enjoy reading stories about people’s near-death experiences. 13. I had my first alcoholic drink the fall after I turned 20. 14. I am currently writing my spiritual memoir and I’m very happy with how it’s going. (Please send any writer’s agents you may know my way!) 15. Two of the guys I dated in college broke up with me because they said I was intimidating. 16. The national anthem and soldiers in uniform make me cry. I don’t really know why. 17. My new year’s resolution for 2009 is to do things that happy people do. 18. I tend to be overly self-critical, but I am extremely accepting of everyone else. 19. I pray in the car and while cleaning. 20. I have an excellent sense of direction. 21. Being a mother was the first thing I ever did that I didn’t feel insecure about. 22. I started using anti-wrinkle cream a couple of months ago. 23. I try not to let myself cry very often because once I do, it’s extraordinarily difficult for me to stop. 24. My life’s ambition is to be a public speaker. 25. I’d love to tell you all about me, but I’m afraid you don’t want to hear about it.
