Soon, that is when they are telling me we will get our last piece of the document puzzle. But I know enough about Africa that soon does not necessarily mean soon, as in the American idea of soon. So I am trying to patiently (okay, who am I kidding?) bide my time.
In that case, I have decided to make a list of things about me, that annoy me, or things that I love in an effort to keep from blogging about how impatient I am now that we could be so much closer.
1. I am a huge Science nerd. Like the type that reads Science articles for fun. You know those annoying people who always seem to know some type of bizarre and obscure information on things that never really matter all that much? That would be me.
2. I am married to your typcial engineer who needs a list for his list. I, on the other hand, tend to be a fly by the pants type of girl- almost always leaping before looking. So, I guess it is good that we balance each other out. Although, admittedly I can get just a teensy bit annoyed while he thinks about all the various angles to do something. Just make a decision! Preferrably mine!
3. When we got married, I never really wanted kids. After we had our daughter I was "done". The good news is that while I was praying for God to change Chris' heart about having more, God changed mine instead! (Honestly I never saw that coming!)
4. I took Russian in college. It makes me feel all CIA type-ish. Which, by the way, I would still love to be. Along with a cop and a firefighter.
5. Totally wish I could be an amazing artist. Fact is I am pretty crappy at it.
6. We butcher chickens every summer and shoot deer every fall for food. I help with all of it, but still need for the food to be frozen at least a week before I can eat it. Helps me remove some of the realities of where meat comes from.
7. The more sugar in cereal, the more I love it. I would eat it 3 times a day if I could!
8. Due to a degree in Microbiology, I have some issues with germs- should have seen me in Uganda. At times, it was my own personal germ hell. I eventually got over it! P.S. I just read an article that fecal bacteria shows up on 50% of shopping cart handles, can't you hear me gagging?!
9. I am paranoid that our adoption country will shut done before we can get our children home.
10. I play the trombone. And yes, we will make our kids play an instrument through middle school. The can quit in high school if they want. My hubby cannot sing and clap at the same time, so they have to play mostly so that doesn't happen to them.
11. I have never gotten a speeding ticket, knock on wood.
12. My favorite type of food is anything spicy, or shrimp/mussel/clam related. And if it's covered in cheese- Bonus!
13. I absolutely can't stand ticks. Once tick season rolls around I lay in bed and every itch leaves me frantically trying to find it. And if one is in my hair, oh Lord, I can't even think about that right now!
14. I bite my fingernails. I know, disgusting habit. And I should know better with all the germs on peoples hands, but I mostly do it under stress. Sounds like an excuse to justify it, and probably it is!
15. Can't make a cup of coffee to save my life.
16. Don't own a dishwasher, never have. Can I tell you how much I hate washing dishes?
17. I have 3 tattoos. I love them, I would get a sleeve on one arm if my hubby wouldn't freak out, and if my arms were skinnier. If you are going to get a sleeve, you really need skinny arms.
18. Italy is number one on my list of places to go. Followed by Greece and Bangladesh. Plus I would love to go back to Africa and do a safari.
19. Almost always go to movies by myself- Chris isn't really a movie type of guy.
20. Wish my kids were still little. Ava is almost 8 and no matter what I do, I can't seem to make time slow down!
