10. I have not unpacked our closet since we moved here.
11. I have cried 5 times at work, that is an average of 1.25 times per month.
12. I loved Mitt Romney's "Faith in America" speech. It made me proud to be American, and proud to be Mormon.

18. I am watching scooby doo with my kids right now.
19. Some days I want to be stylish and look high fashion, most days I don't care. It's about 30/70.
20. It bothers me when people are over paranoid and live there lives in fear of every little thing that could go wrong.
21. I hate when people move to Utah and then complain about how much they hate it and how much they hate mormons. Why is it OK to bash my religion?
22. I think if I can be called "white" then I can call "African American's" "black." And if the proper term is "African American," then please call me "English-French-German-American" so that political correctness is fair to everyone.
23. I love fat babies.
24. I want to work as a nurse in some kind of mother-baby area.
25. My husband and I have serious plans to start an Alpaca farm.
26. Right now I am reading "State of Fear" by Michael Crichton, and "An Inconvenient Book" by Glenn Beck.
27. I originally started this list about 2 weeks ago and I still haven't shaved my legs. Truly disgusting. But quite warm, actually.

30. My belly-button is a bottomless pit. The only time I have seen the end of it was when I was 9 months pregnant.

32. I feel bad for the Spears girls. I think their parents should feel really guilty at this point for not safeguarding their children by teaching them and being parents.
33. For some reason when I am around my whole family, I feel like I am a kid again put in my place as the "rebellious, irresponsible, feels sorry for herself, least favorite" and I often revert to acting the part. I am a totally different person to people outside of my family.
34. I have a mole on my chin that grows a hair.
35. Speaking of hair, I basically grow a beard when I am pregnant. I feel like this is turning into a confession of how disgusting I am. OK this is the last one about my hairiness and/or bad hygiene habits.

41. I love strawberry fruit roll-ups.
42. If I can afford it, I will get a tummy tuck and possibly a breast lift after I have my last kid.
43. I want to decorate my house, but unfortunately I have very expensive taste and very little money in my bank account.
44. I think stores like Wal-Mart are good for the economy, however I have worked for big companies and there is serious need for improvement.
45. Panda Express makes me sick.
46. I don't really like (but still eat from time to time) ice cream, cookies, cake, chocolate, or cool whip.

48. I used to get teased because of my pointy chin.
49. As a teenager, I kissed 3 sets of brothers (at different points in time, of course). I am married to one of those brothers. And to answer your next question, it really isn't weird or uncomfortable around the brother. The kisses were 4 years apart, and we are from a small town with slim pickin's. (You have a pool of like 20 guys to date). Although I would have picked Zach out of a million guys!
50. I have been addicted to buffalo wings lately. The best are Zach's homemade, next buffalo wild wings mild boneless.

60. I love teasing and being teased, to an extent.
61. I love to have my arms tickled. Some of the fondest memories of my grandma are just sitting in her laps for hours while she tickled my arms. Such funny things that make you feel loved.
62. Sometimes I tend to like things just to be opposite from others. Right now I'm on a "Sam's Club is better than Costco" kick because Costco is becoming so much more popular. But I really do think Sam's Club is better because they have slimfast and stephen's hot cocoa.
63. I tried surfing in Hawaii. Fun, but exhausting when you haven't exercised in awhile.
64. I write a mean research paper.
65. My kids are so cute that I grit my teeth and get headaches whenever I talk to them.
66. My dishwasher sucks, doesn't work, and since I'm renting and they aren't going to fix it, I'm not either.
67. I liked my Organic Chemistry class.
68. When I chew gum, I am like a little kid. Lose flavor, get a new piece, repeat.

82. Favorite way to relax: hot bath
83. My perfect life contains everything and everyone I have now, only my own house in the country where the kids can run and play (while the little ones play on the floor with the dogs... isn't that what Gaston says?)
84. I get embarrassed easily, but I get REALLY embarrassed when my face turns red from mild embarrassment. Darn over reactive blood vessels!
85. My husband is reading this with me now and agrees that I really need to re-evaluate my hygiene habits.
86. To my credit, I wash and sanitize my hands incessantly, so that they are actually cracked and bleeding right now.

97. My favorite memories of grandpa are riding around in the brown truck eating beef jerky.
98. Favorite relaxation scenario: Eyes closed, beach chair, Ocean sound with a slight breeze carrying the faint scent of plumaria, about 78 degrees Fahrenheit.
99. Swimming is the best sport ever, better than anything I have ever tried. It is like therapy to me.
100. Wednesday night is not business time, and Tuesday night is not the night that we visit my mother. Oh, and my baggy t-shirt says "Nauvoo 2000", not "Team building Exercise 99'"

That was so cute and it made me laugh! It reminded me so much of high school and all of the things that I had forgotten about you. I forgot that you peed your pants on prom night and that you stetch your pants to lengthen them. That is so funny! Wish we lived closer so we could get together more often. Love ya!
Interesting! I actually can relate to several of those. And...I was just wondering if I could just post a link to your blog on mine and stop stalking you secretly? :) I think it would be much easier that way!
I loved this post... I can't believe you came up with 100 interesting facts... One question on the hairy leg thing... Don't they catch on your sheets at night? Or are they so long that it's beyond that point? I can never get past the hurty stage to keep growing the hair and have to shave just to help me sleep better. Please let me know!!!
Amy,
Hey this is Jessica (Dewey) Holmes. I just started blogging and got linked to your page. I had to say hello! Congrats on becoming an RN! What an awesome accomplishment. I hope you are doing well. Respond if you have time! Love, Jess
Amy...you are SO funny!! Your list made me laugh. :)
I'm amazed that you came up with a list that long....you are so funny-and as for the hairy legs I think being on swim team ruined me-I let mine go way too long in the winter-and I don't even let my husband's complaining get to me.
hahaha! speaking of hairy legs-you should see jane's right now. What a bushman!
Hey Amy - I blogstalk too! I found your site on Cami and Travis' blog. I loved your list - very cool! I think I might try one too.
That would take me so long, but I absolutely loved yours!!! Kensey is right, it totally reminded me of some things I forgot about you. I have a theory about you hating talking on the phone. I haven't been a talker on the phone for years now either...and I think it's because when we were first becoming friends in the 8th grade, we would call and talk to each other for hours and therefore we now both hate it because we got so sick of it. What do you think?
