Two Seven

A list of 27 things in celebration of 27 years of life.  I started this list the night before my birthday (june 10th) and am just now completing it.  Finding 27 things to discuss is harder then it looks.

1.  Chocolate cake with whipped icing rocks my world. 
2.  I get really emotional on my birthday.  I've cried on every birthday since...forever.  Unresolved childhood issues.  I could use a year or two on a shrinks couch. 
3.  I'm a control freak.  It's exhausting.
4.  I have an obsession with making hair bows. 
5.  Ethan has started liking me again.  He just came through a "I love only daddy" stage...I felt a little left out.  I'm tickled he's decided to share the love again.
6.  Getting older doesn't bother me.  I figure I've got 2 choices.  Get older or die.  I don't wanna die.  So, sign me up for getting older.
7.  I love pink...still.
8.  Every time someone wishes me a "happy birthday" via facebook I bawl.  It makes me feel special and loved and I like it.
9.  I have this really weired phobia of voice mails.  I hardly ever check them.  I'm really getting very strange with each passing year.  I'm about 3 phobias away from a show on Discovery Health.
10.  The real housewives (all of them) are my BFF's.  They just don't know it.
11.  It's dreary outside today.  I think it's Gods way of telling me to relax and take it easy.  Yessssss!!!
12.  Since it's dreary outside I think I'll eat my entire cake all by myself.  It's my present to myself. 
13.  When I do laundry I sort the clothes into 17 different loads.  Instead of the tried and true darks and whites I go all nuts and sort into blacks, blues, reds, whites, light pinks, yellow, browns, etc.  I have an amazing ability to turn 2 loads of laundry into 87.  It's a talent.
14.  I do best with a small group of close friends.  I don't juggle relationships very well. 
15.  Geez, this is tougher than I thought.  I ran out of content around item number 4.
16.  Allen's employer needs to forward all his paychecks to the baby girl section of babiesrus or amazon.  That is where it's all going anyway!
17.  Why in the world are baggy t-shirts and yoga pants so comfortable?  I think it's a sign that I should wear them 24/7. 
18.  I'm still afraid of the dark.  Why is that???   Isn't that something most people grow out of by now?  I've grown out of all my clothes it only makes sense I'd grow out of fears as well. 
19.   Whenever I have an extreme case of insomnia I watch "the queen".  It is saved on the DVR in my room and it has served as a sleeping pill often.  I have seen the beginning and middle around 900 times and have never seen the ending.  If that isn't proof I don't know what is.
20.  I think the demolition crews should use my children when trying to destroy indestructible stuff.  Between a 3,4, and 7 year old NOTHING is left standing.  Worlds most destructible trio is what I have on my hands.  Contact Guinness Book of World Records this is legit. 
21.  I haven't worn a pair of high heels in a really long time.  My heart misses them.  My feet do not.
22.  The real reason I haven't worn high heels lately is because it looks stupid to wear them with yoga pants and baggy white t-shirts.
23.  My 4yr old won't play "pretend" phone with me anymore because he insists that his phone is out of minutes.  Would someone please tell him that pretend phones aren't trac phones??  I'd tell him but he won't answer his pretend phone anymore.
24.  I like to read the gossip magazines when I'm in line at the grocery store.  I try and get in all the juicy Hollywood gossip before it's time to pay.  I hope that doesn't classify as stealing.  I think it's being frugal.
25.  I've broken 9 vacuums in 4 years.  Allen vacuums now because we can't afford for me to do it.  My evil plan worked!!  I'm going to start breaking dishes every time I have to unload the dishwasher and see how quickly I get that chore off my back. 
26.  I think I could handle polygamy.  ONLY if the 2nd wife will do all the cleaning and be available to babysit anytime I need it.  Allen is off limits...maybe I just need a live in maid/nanny.
27.  This has been the most ridiculous list I've ever concocted in my life.
