*** *** ***
In no particular order of value or significance; but, rather, how they come to mind:1. My Lord is not small enough to be understood but is big enough to be worshiped. Jesus Christ has my heart.
2. Modeling is what I DO and is not to be confused with who I AM.
3. My greatest fear is failure and I'm not so sure how it is to be measured.
4. I'm not quite sure how to measure my success, either.
5. I am my toughest critic ...don't flatter yourself.
6. I misplaced my blackberry and experienced heart palpitations until it was recovered. Pathetic.
7. I don't like organized religion; my responsibility is my response to Christs' ability.
8. I haven't any quarrels with single life... however; I make no promises come February 14th!
9. My ultimate goals are to be a wife and mom. I think heroism is under/overqualified (dependent on ones' outlook). A wise young man said, "Heroes raise children."
10. If nothing else, fashion has taught me that true beauty has little to do with ones' waist/hip ratio, numbers on the scale, or dress size.
11. I'm not complicated. I'm a woman. There's a difference (?).
12. For your sake, don't underestimate me.
13. For my sake, don't overestimate me.
14. I will forgive you before I will forgive myself.
15. I prefer not to speak unless I have something of value to say; requiring you to listen.
16. I am in love. He has no idea... I hope.
17. My mom is my best friend.
18. My little sister is a better dancer than I could ever have dreamed to be myself and I, unabashedly, live vicariously through her talent. I am so proud of her.
19. I have an obsessive attraction to books.
20. When I have an itch... I scratch it (literally & metaphorically).
21. Music is my therapy. Perfection is my enemy.
22. I try too hard to be in control; I am unnecessarily reminded of this all too frequently by my ability to attract clumsy encounters with poles and ice-covered surfaces.
23. I consider myself a people person as a means of survival; tolerating the majority of humans by choice and convenience, practice and patience ...it's the feline in me.
24. I have a master(s) in business/sales - my father.
24 1/4. I have a secret I keep right under my nose =)
24 1/2. I was driving, got hit by a semi-truck and lived to tell about it (so did my car)!
24 3/4. I am Pro-Choice. I believe the choice is made 9 months prior to an estimated due-date.
25. Boys: don't test me - you really haven't a clue of what I am capable. I'm waiting for one man.
.... If you'd like to add something to the list, be my guest! Leave a comment - I'll be interested to see what you come up with about me =) or make it your own! Leave a comment with 25 randoms about YOU I'd love to know! xoxo
Love you all!

Absolutely impossible to add to your 25 … very aptly describes you! #s 17 & 18 made me smile and I laughed out loud at #22! I love you so much!
Okay … so I took up the challenge and this is what I came up with in a reasonably short amount of time:
“Mom’s 25 Randoms”
1. Acts 17:28 “For in Him we live, and move, and have our being …” I am not a conventional Christian. Simply put: Abiding in my God, because of my Savior - I am complete.
2. Family is life to me. The reason I breathe.
3. Kayla and Brooke (my amazing and beautiful daughters) are my greatest “accomplishment” in life. And my greatest gift – Thank you, Jesus.
4. I’m extremely proud of my husband and the love that keeps us together. Silver Anniversary this August! :-)
5. I still have a lot to learn. And there is a lot about me that people don’t know – or probably understand.
6. I pray for our troupes (one extra-special one in particular) and am eternally grateful to them for the freedoms we enjoy. I’m proud to be a Navy brat :-) (Thank you Dad for faithfully serving your country for 23 years!)
7. I am a patriot that worry’s about America. “I tremble for my country when I reflect that God is just”. Thomas Jefferson
8. I adore a warm fire on a rainy day.
9. Chocolate is my weakness. Add Hot Cocoa to #8 = one happy mama.
10. Music is mandatory … and most certainly necessary.
11. As a dancer, sometimes I can’t control my body’s instinctive reaction to good music.
12. Rhythms get stuck in my head … and often come out of my feet.
13. Quiet is beautiful. I don’t need to talk.
14. I don’t need to shop (missed that female gene entirely and I’m glad!).
15. Truth: Sometimes I think my brain is wired more like a man’s than a woman’s. Lol.
16. My kitchen is my happy place.
17. I think I could be a hermit in the mountains somewhere … as long as I could take my family, my music (and Costco wasn’t too far away).
18. My favorite dinner involves steak (med-rare).
19. Don’t think I could live for long without a canine companion.
20. True friendship is rare and priceless - and to be greatly valued.
21. I still look up to my brother. He’s definitely on the short list of people I want to grow old with :-), because growing old will be much more entertaining with him there.
22. Honest laughter is vital … but has become somewhat harder to find in life.
23. I’ve learned to enjoy wine in my middle age … lol.
24. Gray hair appears quickly and growing old is harder than I thought. People should enjoy youth more than they do – I sure should have.
25. I have a bucket list in my head. #24 makes me realize I need to write it down. Pft :-P. I’m doing that next …
What a fascinating blog. You give me a lot to think about. Once again you show everyone how your thinking processes unfold: challenging, humorous, honest, and open for response. I'm not going to rush into my comments because I want to make them thoughtful, honest and "intelligent" (which doesn't come easily at my age) lol. Love it when you write. It is such a God gift! You'll get an email from me one day soon.
Your “25” comments are good, thought provoking and future looking, especially #25: And I truly relate to others. But, I am unable to provide a good “future 25” list because my past dominates my thinking process.
Some comments, especially recent song lyrics, remind me that one can’t learn from the future until it becomes part of the past. Then it should influence decision making for the future. Therein we strive to be correct and thorough but no human is perfect.
#11: Isn’t being complicated part of being a woman? :-) Love ya…
