To Steal An Idea... Part 2

Here are the second 50 things I've come up with about myself. I took this idea from Jamie. My first 50 things are in Part 1 which I posted a few posts back. Enjoy.

51. I am a Republican and I tend to be conservative, however, I also have some liberal views on a few things.
52. I believe in the Right to Bear Arms. I am anti gun control.
53. I am Right to Life all the way.
54. I am PROUD TO BE AN AMERICAN!
55. I would like to take my family to see the Statue of Liberty.














56. My first sewing project was a yellow duffle bag in 8th grade. Emile's was a Steelers oversized pillow... also in 8th grade. Where did the time go??
57. I can't believe I have a child about to enter High School. Where did the time go??
58. At times I feel old, frumpy and ugly.
59. My favorite movie is "The Wizard of Oz" followed closely by "The Sound of Music."





60. I used to find doing laundry relaxing. I outgrew that silly phase of my life and now I hate it.
61. I don't iron.
62. I love John Tesh music. Listening to him is far more relaxing than doing laundry.














63. My favorite food is steak with sauteed onions and mushrooms. YUMMY
64. I never liked mushrooms until I was pregnant with Emile... Thanks Em! :)
65. My favorite season is Autumn.
66. My favorite holiday is Christmas.
67. I love the mountains, especially the Wasatch Range.











68. I play the piano... a little.
69. I hate managing money. It's such a source of stress for me.
70. I've floated in the Great Salt Lake.. I wouldn't recommend it to anyone.











71. I've flown over Mount Rushmore. I would recommend this to everyone. It was beautiful.










72. I love cottage flower gardens and am working very hard to have one of my own.
73. While I love flower gardening, I HATE poison ivy, which I seem to get too easily.
74. I would like to learn to paint.. like artist paintings.











75. My first car was a 1970 Cadillac Eldorado. It was red and a complete gas hog.
76. My current car is a 2004 Chevy Malibu Maxx. It's olive green and I love it. It was the first "cross-over SUV" made.





77. Our family survived a serious side impact car crash 4 years ago. The car was destroyed. Thus the reason why I drive the Maxx.
78. My favorite drink is Coke. I LOVE IT!!











79. I bought my very own house in January 2005. Once I was told by someone I'd never have it so good. With the help of my nephew, Andy, who works for a mortgage company, I now have a home for my family. Never ever give up on your dreams.
80. I have had some pretty darned bad "hair days" when my perms have been bad. Kind of like this. Whew we, that's BAD!!














81. I tried coloring my hair to cover the grey. I hated it. With the exception of when Karen (my only trusted stylist) colored it one time, it never looked right. I gave up, I'm getting more and more grey, deal with it.
82. I learned to gold pan when I was a teenager living in Arizona. Lots of work for a very little amount of gold.











83. I taught emergency child birth/infant&pediatric CPR to firefighters in Riverton, Utah. It was great fun working with all those hunky guys. They can rescue me any day.













84. My worst birthday gift ever, was a STUPID Pogo Stick. It was a piece of crap! I couldn't get it going to save my life. Yuck, YUCK, YUCK!!










85. I like to fly kites.
86. I would like to perform at Dreamwrights Youth and Family Theatre.
87. I went to Niagra Falls as a child. I'd like to take my girls to see it.










88. The first time I went to a movie it was a drive-in double feature on Redwood Road in Salt Lake City. I was 9. We saw.... are you ready for this?? "The Towering Inferno" and "Hijacked." I was terrified. What were my parents thinking? Oh that's right, they weren't thinking.














89. I love taking the girls to the movies.
90. I won a pie making contest in Utah once. I made Shoo Fly Pie and won for most unusual. Funny considering how popular it is back here.
91. A favorite place I enjoy is Bridal Veil Falls in Provo Canyon.














92. I cried when I went to Washington, D.C. and saw the Vietnam Nurses Memorial on the Mall. It was such a heartwrenching display of the anguish they went through.














93. I want to go back to D.C. to spend more time learning about the history of our country as well as take the girls to the Mall again. We enjoyed it so much the last time.
94. I would also like to go to the Murrah Federal Building Memorial site.
95. I have a deep love and respect for Mother Eve. I think she's been given a bum rap by a lot of people both in and out of the gospel. Without her and her courageous choice, none of us would be here. I hope to meet her someday.














96. I love the book "Eve and the Choice Made in Eden."
97. Even though I'm pro home birth, I gave birth to my children at LDS Hospital. I would have loved a home birth, however, given all the complications I had, my midwife felt I wasn't a good candidate. She was correct.














98. I enjoy going to Boyds Bear in Gettysburg. The last time we went (a week and a half ago), Emile got me a tapestry of The Wizard of Oz (in bear of course). I was thrilled. She really surprised me with it.











99. My children say I have a tender spot in my heart for animals. They may be right.
100. All in all, I think my life is pretty good and I look forward to many more years of new experiences.
