17 Random Things...

Adam tagged me to do a list of 17 random things...he could only come up with 14, so we'll see if I can do better.

1. My three favorite musical artists: I don't know if I can name 3, but I love coldplay, Sugarland, Tom Petty, John Mayer, the list goes on. My iTunes playlist is full of a wide variety of artists.

2. My favorite tv shows are: Two and a Half Men, Grey's Anatomy, and the Office.

3. The Office (the show) seriously helped me recover from brain surgery. For almost two weeks straight, my mom, Dan and I all three sat in our bedroom and watched every season it. For those of you who know my mom, its no wonder they say laughter is the best medicine. Hearing her laugh made me laugh, and it really did help me recover faster.

4. I had brain surgery. Almost a year ago. (I totally think this counts as random.)

5. When I was 17 (I graduated high school young) I moved by myself to Honduras. It was there that I discovered my love of the medical field.

6. God has shown me over the past year and a half just how big he really is and that he really is in control (maybe I'm a little slow on the uptake, but it was shown in real, tangible ways).

7. I have to have Chapstick on my person at all times. No lie. After aforementioned surgery, Dan's sole instruction was to make sure my lips were regularly chapsticked. :)

8. I love to people watch. Dan used to (and still may) hate to go out to dinner with me because all I'd do is people watch.

9. I am a routine fanatic. To a fault. I need to learn to let go. :) I have to do the same things before I can go to bed: clean kitchen, start dishwasher, make coffee for the morning, get kids clothes out, brush teeth, etc. And only then can I sleep. Luckily Dan has started making the coffee for the morning so I can get the stuff done faster.

10. I don't know what IFNJPLSJSO I am. :) I took the test thing during pre-marital counseling, but I think they must have cut that part of my brain out. Maybe ESFP. Not sure.

11. I have never been in a wreck (with another car--did hit a brick wall on ice once, but not relevant) till September 26 of this year, and then proceeded to get rear-ended a total of 3 times in 6 weeks. I mean really. I'd think I was the problem if I wasn't the one getting hit.

12. I voted Democrat for the first time ever this year. And proudly.

13. I have some of the best girlfriends ever. Two I've had for years and years and years, and some that are new but becoming great friends.

14. I'm thinking of getting a tattoo.

15. The Christmas season (now til New Years) is my absolute favorite time of year. Always has been, but I am enjoying it way more now that I have my own kiddos.

16. I hate to fly, but hope to get over that soon so I can explore the "earff" (how Eli says earth). I guess I should get over it by next Thursday, since I am flying then. Hmm.

17. I love to read, but once I start, I can't stop. Harry Potter single-handedly led to the deterioration of my household.

Phew. I made it. Now, I tag:
Sarah A: she shares, or has been a part of, etc, many of these. 4, 7, 13, 17, she knows without even thinking about it. And, 17 is her fault.
Missi: I am pretty sure she shares 17.
Amy S: because many blame her for 12. :)

I am not sure who reads this. If you do and wanna play, do.
