25 “Facts”

Remember when writing “Notes” on Facebook was all the rage? Well, the other day, I read through the two I posted. One was the inspiration for my post “Katie needs.” The other was 25 Random Facts About me. I wrote the list in 2009. And although only written three years ago, it seems like forever ago.

I’ve changed quite a bit. For example, here are some things I posted:

7. I’m not athletic AT ALL! I work out when my jeans feel tight.
– I now work out every day, and run about 20 miles a week. I made it part of my life and am so much happier for it.

11. I’m really bad about staying in touch with people on facebook.
– Social Media is now my best friend!

12. The fact that Jon has become a vegetarian is infuriating to me, but I love him anyway.
– Funnily, I now eat a mostly vegetarian diet too!

Things that are still true if not more so, include:

8. I’m very competitive. It’s often served me well, but can also be my downfall.
– So true. I can turn anything into a competition. That’s not always a good thing!

16. I was a total nerd in middle school.
– Sadly, too late to change that. Unless we can find a time-machine. But why mess with it, ya know? Everything happens for a reason?

19. I’m so grateful for the playgroup I’m a part of. I don’t think I would be able to survive motherhood without other mom friends.
– LOVE to the SCP! You are my rock and my rock stars! 🙂

22. When I was in college, I always claimed that if I had a baby boy I would leave it on a hillside. I only wanted girls. I now have a baby boy. I didn’t leave him on a hillside.
– Make that TWO boys. Karma’s a you-know-what. But, I love my boys and to this date no one has been left on a hillside.

And a few things I’d add:

26. I love, love, love to cross an item off of a to-do list. I often add something to a list just so I can cross it off.

27. I like to make up hashtags on Twitter. Some people may find that annoying. I think it’s fun. #donthatetheplayer

28. My two favorite things in the world: (1) Watching my sons laugh about something together, and (2) Going on a date night with my husband. The boys in my life light me up.

What are some random things about you? Would you say they are different or similar to what you would have written three years ago?

P.S. The picture above is of my family in 2009, when the original Facebook note was written.
