blah blah blah more shelley facts

I'm a born again Christian. Saved on Sept 17, 1987. Baptized on the following Sunday.

My husband is a car salesman. He's been selling "things" for the last 11 years. He should've been a politician because he never meets a stranger.

I own two dogs. One is an english mastiff, and one is a cocker spaniel. I also have a nameless fish. Kind of sad to go through life with no name, even if you are only a fish.

I am a 100% type person. I am "all in" or not doing it at all, no matter what it is. I am not a half way chick at all.

I love babies. All sizes. I started babysitting at 12. Although I love babies, I don't want more and am not sad that I cannot have more of my own.

I am an amatuer photographer that is 100% self taught. I love it, when it doesn't seem like a job. When people make it too job-ish for me, I tend to not do my best work. I want it to remain a passion, not an income source.

I took a Spiritual Gifts test at a church once, and my faults are terrible. I won't tell you what they are, incase you have not noticed them all yet.

I love mowing. It is relaxing to me.

I have not quite found my mission in life, other than being a mother. That may be it. But that's ok, cause multitasking, at least in my case, means some job isn't getting 100%, and I would hate to give less than 100% to my kids.

I love watching Prime Time, Larry King, 48 Hours, 60 minutes, and anything true crime. I don't know why I am a crime junkie, but I am.

I am also fascinated with the mob.

Although I blew some scholarships due to being with a terrible excuse for a boyfriend, I don't regret not going to college.

I love the ocean, but rarely get in it. I feel really small and insignificant out there.

I am certified in infant and child CPR. I have performed it once. It was successful. It wasn't one of my kids.

I am a chronic doodler. I write on everything.

I don't have one favorite singer, one favorite band, or one favorite song. I am an avid music lover, which I inherited from my dad.

I never met my grandpa on my dad's side. He died when my brother was a baby. He was an alcoholic, and abusive. I didn't know that until last year.

I am a huge "House" fan. I love Hugh Laurie's bluntness.

I have no jealousy issues. I can truly be happy for others without wanting what they have. I have found that that is one of my most valuable traits.

I would like to see Paris with Rosjuane. Not with my husband, but with her. I don't think he'd appreciate it like she would.

I went to Disneyworld when Jordan was 2. It isn't for me. I mean, I liked it ok, but I needed a vacation to GET OVER my vacation!

I like the smell of coffee but I won't drink it. I also don't make it, because I don't know what it should taste like!

I was an emotional wreck when I met my husband. I am glad he accepted damaged goods.

I drink too much dr pepper. I only drink water when I mow.

I love horses, but don't want another one.

Our horse, Dandy, once stepped on me and ran me over like a rag doll. Jordan freaked out. Our 220 lb dog Rufus, ran over me once and knocked me out, Karsyn freaked out. What's the deal with me and out animals?

I believe that marriage is hard work. I also am pretty much anti divorce except in extreme situations.

I had no epidurals when my kids were born. I don't reccomend doing that. (It wasn't elective)

I can't play Solitaire.

I don't like video games.

I am a picky eater. So are my kids.

My kids are horrible in the car. But they never have to stop and potty. So you take the good with the bad, huh?

I love the praise band at church. Especially when Ronny is so into it his eyes are closed and Brandy is swaying. We may not be a big church, but our band rocks.

I don't like it when people try to massage my shoulders.

I do like hugs.

I got my first kiss from my husband under the Saline River bridge. How romantic.....gag

I loved teaching bibleschool

I miss church camp! And we didn't go to "nice" ones, either. We went to Wolf Creek. Recreation =pond. Swim or fish. WOO HOO! And it was awesome.

I had a hysterectomy at 23. It was not elective, but I do not regret it.

My first love, Gage, died in a farming accident when he was 17. It's the hardest thing I have ever experienced.

I am glad that my husband respects the fact that Gage's family still loves me and hugs me and cry when they see me.

I am thankful that I married a very stable, practical man with strong family values.

I've learned that life doesn't always turn out the way you expected it to. I thought I would have a boy and a girl, and I would be a tattoo artist. Who knew???

I know what true love is.

I rarely ever cry. That does not mean I am emotionless.

I am a talker, but like to think that I know when to shut up.

My favorite all time classes in school were Creative Writing (Mrs Mathneny) and Debate/Drama/Speech (D. Ashcraft). Makes sense since I love to talk and argue.

I was the "Beauty" runnerup in the yearbook. Who would've thought I would place in that? Not me, I didn't even stand when they called my name cause I wasn't even listening.

I have little feet. Means I can buy kid Nikes, which are cheaper.

I would like to visit Austrailia, Hawaii, Fortuna CA, Wyoming MI, Jamaica, and Fiji

I love my friends kids.

I have gained 6-8 lbs in the last year. Time to break that trend.

I love my parents, and could go over there every day. Big difference from when I was a teenager and wanted out of there soooo bad, or so I thought.

I am glad I grew up in a small town of 747 people. It makes me mad when people comment on it being an all black town. I am not allergic to black people, so it was perfectly ok.

I have two friends that should go on "Last Comic Standing." Kacy and Dana. They make me laugh till I hurt.

I have been informed many times that I look too young to be with my husband. It is irritating and my response isn't a very Christian one.

I have had my heart broken. I have made bad decisions. But it makes me value the right ones more.

I have been asked more than 5 times if I had my "lips done." What???

In 6 weeks at UAMS, I had 31 IV start kits used on me. Talk about raggedy veins. I hate being in the hospital and will avoid it at all costs.

People that don't take care of themselves when pregnant infuriate me.

I have never prayed for anything (other than my own kids in the NICU) as much as I have for a little blonde headed rascal lovingly known as blessing.

I had 11 new vehicles from age 15-18. Can you say s-p-o-i-l-e-d?

Can you tell I used to always do the bulletins on myspace, haha????
This list took me alot longer than I thought it would.
