True or False?
- We give our kids showers assembly line style - girls first, then boys, using about half a tub of water for all 7 of them.
- Bobby and I were part of a Christian cult in our early 20's.
- That group made us wait 3 years to get married by their minister - until we had completed their series of classes (which had nothing to do with marriage!).
- My preference is for great novels and only I read self help or instructional books if there is a SEVERE need for information or they come HIGHLY recommended.
- I used to think 4 children was a *very* large family.
- We currently do not drink any soda.
- I would love a sleeve of tattoos if they were free of charge and I didn't feel they would be a stumbling block for others.
- There are exactly 20 blogs on my google reader.
- I try to avoid facebook as much as possible anymore and regularly consider closing my account.
- Roughly 60 books is the number we check out each week from our public library and I usually end up purchasing at least one due to loss or destruction.
- If I could go back, I would only adopt children with 2 deceased parents and am grieved by the fact that each of our adopted kids have a living father.
- My husband still makes me weak in the knees.
- His shaved head was the result of a botched haircut I gave him 14 years ago - we both liked it, so it stuck. (Well, there was that and the whole male pattern baldness thing that was going on.)
- I am a risk taker by nature and am drawn to the extremes so I rely on him to help reign me in and provide a measure of balance.
- Although an appreciation for the benefit of God's people assembling is there, we don't particularly care for the institutionalization or business aspect of church and we often enjoy worshipping together at home as a family.
- (I like to say) I would not take chemo and if the jig is up for me, then it is up. (I reserve the right to change my mind on this one!! :)
- A large part of the reason I steer away from shopping/materialism/consumerism has little to do with not liking nice or pretty or useful things, and much more to do with the fact that I experience an adverse physical reaction to clutter.
- I enjoy a hearty debate and am not bothered by confrontation, but have become convicted that it is something I should avoid in an effort to grow in graciousness.
- Encouraging my girlfriends to develop a mindset and habit of saying "yes" to their husbands is something I tend to do if the subject turns toward *that* topic in conversation. {Blush}
- I have not been baptized (outside of a Catholic church ceremony as a baby) and am often confused as to whether or not I should do it now, unless it was solely to please my pastor, which is not going to happen.
- We still use pay as you go phones and do not text.
- I have a soft spot for Conway Twitty music.
- I wish I was bold enough to let my hair be its natural color and not cover the grey.
- Calendar overcommitment is not something our family deals with - if anything, we are under engaged.
All TRUE!
Ok, no more excuses. Time to clean the floor. Boo!
Camping - we had the pool to ourselves. Which was really good. Because of the vomit incident....
I'll just leave it at that.

I didn't know about your love affair with Conway Twitty music... the rest, old news. :)
I love Conway Twitty music too! AND, I am ever-so-grateful my mom took chemo (twice, and radation)...glad you reserve the right to change your mind on that one, cuz it can save your life! Baptism...totally up to you! Stay true to yourself, and if you decide to do it, you'll know when it's right for you! I agree about the "business" aspect of church, that's why I'm glad to be a part of one where none of the clergy is paid...it's all volunteer. I love to meet each week, not because of the institutional side of things, but because of the social networking, and the reminder of worth by lessons taught! :) I loved hearing about you through this *self-indulgence*
My husband would love for me to "let" him shave his head....but he has lots of scars on it. We botched it once, and I just can't bring myself to "let" him do it again...YET!! I really enjoyed this blog post! It really made me think about things about myself! And, taught me things about you that I missed out on!
Love you girlfriend!
wow. Conway Twitty was the kicker for me. I don't know if I can keep a straight face next time we talk.......
Sandy, really? ALL the rest? Shocking!
Stephanie,
Hip hip horay for Conway!! You are SO COOL! Haha. Yes, I do realize that if faced with cancer, I would probably QUICKLY change my mind about the chemo. It's just a thought....
Thanks for your niceness :) I always enjoy your well thought through comments!!
Chrissy,
Um, girl - you have got to learn! Mr. Twitty is I T. His songs are awesome - little mini stories. Listen to a few. You might just fall in love sweet love :)
I Heart Conway. And I'm confident enough in my own ear drums to admit it. ((((((((C O N W A Y)))))))))
