It is hard to paint a hallway without getting paint on your butt.

I have amazing people living all around me and the most awesome BFF I could ever ask for.

I like starting projects, but can't get going until I have something to jumpstart me.  I can't finish them unless I have some kind of motivation to push me forward, AKA my husband helping me texture the stairway wall. 

I am entirely too reliant on http://www.starfall.com/, Wow Wow Wubbzy, and SpongeBob SquarePants.

I have a slight crush on this guy:


 
And am a teeny tiny bit jealous of these girls:

My parents were right all those years.  I love my brothers and sister now. (This may or may not be because they married awesome people and have super-adorable kids.)

All that stuff they tell you about in-laws is a bunch of crap.  I have the most awesome family-in-law.  I couldn't have hand-picked better people to marry into.

I always swore I would never be like my parents.  Now sometimes when I talk, I hear Dave Curtis' voice coming out of my mouth.  And I can't help it.  And also I realize that he was much smarter than I thought.

I was a spoiled brat.  Now the brat part has mostly worn off.

I may not be the best mom, the best housekeeper, or the best wife, but I'm super fun! 

I make a mean potato salad.

I don't really care for people who try too hard to be cool. 

I married the most awesome guy on the planet, and my kids are the coolest people ever.
