Okay, so I have lost my camera cord somewhere and am not able to download any pictures from the last month to update my blog with, so I decided to do a little post about me. I always do posts of my kids, holidays, trips, and some miscellaneous things, but I have never done a post on me. Most of you know me, but I don't think you really know me. So here it is, a post of crazy facts about me. Feel free to judge but know that one day my kids might just read this and have better understanding of their crazy mom. Also, if any of you feel like putting your stuff all out on the table like I am today, I would love to get to know you all better too. So here goes...
* My favorite color is deep purple. it just makes me feel good inside
* I crave doughnuts all the time, especially the ones with chocolate icing. YUM!
* I hate clam chowder with a passion. always have, always will.
* absolutely scared to death of spiders , but can handle the teeny tiny ones.
* Love Mountain Dew
* Have a very special place in my heart for animals. would love to adopt them all and get rid of euthanizing. It breaks my heart.
* I get teary eyed over feel good commercials and when someone wins or is given something very special. I am so happy for them.
* I look up to Ellen DeGeneres. She is always trying to help someone in need.
* I watch reality television and actually quite like the drama, even if its fake. Its entertaining for me.
* My favorite movies are comedy and romantic comedy. I love to laugh til my guts hurt, but also have that warm fuzzy feeling in my soul.
* I watch scary movies through the cracks in my fingers as I cover my eyes. Yes, I actually feel safer that way. A blanket helps too. LOl!
* I think Sean Connery is one sexy old man. His voice is amazing. Yep, he's my movie star crush.
* I like to read, but don't love it. The book has to capture me in the first chapter or its over for me, but once i get started on a good book, i finish it in a day or two.
* I could spend all day at a zoo.
* A horrible swimmer, but I try.
* Love that my kids think I can do anything.
* Hate being around negative people. They just bring me down.
* Had both of my children natural with no epidural. It was the most painful pain I have ever felt in my life. Also the biggest accomplishment I have ever done. I plan on doing it again and again. I figure if I've done it twice already , whats a few more times.
* Got to tell my mom how much I love her, what a great mom she was,and how proud I was to have her as my mom, and then helplessly watched her take her last breath in front of myself, and my brothers, sisters, and dad. I'd never seen anyone die before that. An experience I hope none of you have to go through in your life.
* Went through a spout of depression that I hid very well.
* Started sleeping with the television on so it would help drown all the sad, scary, and confusing thoughts that started going through my head after she died. I still sleep with the t.v. on and its been almost 4 years.
* I had dreams about her for 2 straight years that were confusing, and exhausting for me. I still have them once in a while .
* I stay up til 2 or 3 in the morning cause I can't sleep, but don't dare take sleeping aids cause I'm scared I'll get hooked.
* I check on my kids 4 to 5 times a night. I'm just always worried something will happen.
* Can not have my leg, arm, foot, elbow, or any part of my body hanging off the side of my bed. The boogie monster lives under there! Yes, its true. It has bothered me ever since I watched Freddy Kruger when I was younger. Hahahahah!
* I am absolutely scared to die. I wonder if it will hurt. I think about it all the time.
* Absolutely believe in Heaven, which brings me peace of mind.
* Am not active in the church like I should be. Simply have my priorities switched around when it comes to Sunday. That is our day to go fishing. One day it will change.
* Want to be sealed in the Temple with my husband and children.
* Would love to have 4 kids.
* Want to travel the world when my husband retires.
* Have only dated and kissed one boy my whole life, who I happened to marry and have been with for 13 years. When I met him, I knew he was the one for me. Simple as that.
* Got sprayed by a skunk when i was in 2nd grade. Mistake it for my cat. Big oops!
* I actually do care what people think of me. I try not to but it's hard for me.
* My feelings get hurt very easy.
* I don't like crying in front of people. I cry silently.
* I'm so tired of funerals. We have one or two every year guaranteed.
* I miss my Grandpa Miller's laugh and toothless smile.
* I don't like to be around my 3 step sisters that much.
* I wish my dad would have took his time getting remarried, but am grateful he's not alone.
* I love camping, fishing , and hunting.
* Am so thankful for growing up in the country and doing the crappy little jobs dad made us do. Such as, potato harvest, moving pipe, picking large rocks from the field,and picking potato beetles from the potato plants.
* I love doing hair and enjoyed beauty school, but hate working in a salon with all the drama that follows.
* I want to do more with friends.
* I have 2 butterfly tattoos on the right side of my back and plan on getting more. Even though it hurt, I enjoyed getting them done.
* Never smoked or done any drugs
* Have never been drunk or experienced a hang over. Never wanted too.
* Got breast implants when i was 26 and it was the best thing I have ever done for myself. One regret, that I didn't do it earlier.
* Absolutely love my nieces and nephews and enjoy all of their different personalities.
* I respect the gay/lesbian people. I think that just because you love someone the same sex as you, doesn't mean your a bad person.
* I don't carry a tune very well, but love to belt out my favorite songs as loud as I can. My poor kids. LOL!
* Too shy to dance in public, but love to shake my booty in my kitchen. Oh yeah!
* Love to stick my face in flowers and smell as hard as i can to take it all in. Thank goodness I don't have allergies.
* Kiss my animals constantly. Love that my little poodle Twitch, sleeps right next to me, along with my cat Nebo. I don't know what I'll do without them.
* Secretly cuddle my chickens. I love them.
* I love reading my friends blogs.
* I can't wait to hold and smell my next baby.
* My main goal in life is to have a successful marriage and be the best mom that I know how to be. Just to be happy.
So, there it is. My little facts about me. That's who I am.

Great post! I loved reading all your unique facts. I may have to do this.
I loved reading this! I learned a lot about you! I'm so sorry what you have gone through with your Mom's passing... I can't imagine how hard that must be. I really admire your strength.
So many things I loved and want to comment on! First of all, I love it that you still have Twitch and Nebo! Those two were around when we practically lived with you guys! I understand the not wanting to get hooked on sleep-aid things, I feel that way about anti-depressants. I really struggled after Parker and painfully am feeling the same way now after little Mason but am scared to take anything. Also understand about the stepsisters thing. Sad to say that (at least for me) that part never changes. Mom got remarried at Thanksgiving time so now I have a whole new slew of step people in my live.
When you're up at night you should text me - serious. Mason and I are awake until about 3-4 in the morning nowadays.
Last but not least. I love you. I always have. You are an amazing friend and an amazing person and I need to try harder to be close to you again and to do things with you because YOU'RE good for my soul!!
I LOVE IT! There were a few that I didn't know about-that was fun! Thanks for sharing being so honest! Raw honesty is so refreshing!
Thank you all for your comments. It was kind of scary putting it all out there but oddly, I feel relieved about it. I appreciate everyones support I have felt through out the years. And thank you for not judging me and just liking who i am .
Oh Lacey! I just love you. You'd never know it but I'm pretty sure we are the same. In thoughts, ideas, feelings and basically who we are. Other than I haven't experienced the loss that you have. I know that I would/could not handle it as well as you did.. well like you "acted" you did. I love you! I wish that I lived closer so that we could raise our kids together and be best friends! Instead of this long distance relationship crap we have going on! Lets make more time in our lives and try to spend a little of it together! haha! I'm 100% serious! If you need to tell Zach your getting your "hairs did" that works! We can just secretly hang out in the salon.. lol!
You are one strong woman and I have always admired that. Even though I think your a little insane in the head for having kids natural! HAHA! You are an amazing person and an exceptional mom! Your kids are lucky to have you! Love you lady! Loved this post too!
Loved the post about YOU! So much I didn't know about you!
That was a fun post to read. I love that you shared about yourself. A lot of times, as moms, we tend to share mainly about our kids...way to let us get to know you a little better! I am sorry about your Grandma Myrna passing! I loved Aunt Myrna and was lucky enough to go sit by her bed on Monday before she passed. Her room felt like heaven! I love your goals and hope you accomplish them! You are a great girl!
LOVE IT LACE!!! We must be sisters!! SO many of those little facts make me smile cuz I too feel the same way! I love the one about watching scary movies through the cracks of your fingers....it really does make ya feel safer! Chicken cuddler....hahaha glad me and Bryn aren't the only ones :)
All I can say is I love you Lace! It was sooo... fun to go to the movie with you today. We need to do that way more often!
loved reading this.
so honest. and fun. and sad. and it's great to hear these things. because life is not always the cherry on top.
i so want boobs! where did you get them done at? after a baby... i'm left with saggy ethiopian national geographic boobs. nice.
Lacey! I love you to death! You were seriously one of my favorite people at beauty school! (you still are) I look up to so much and think that you are one of the cutest and sweetest girls ever!! I miss you. I'm glad all is well with you and your family and I love reading your blog. It's fun to get to know you better.
Lacey, By reading your blog I feel I have got to know you. Now that your grandma Larson is gone you will have to give me the information when this new baby come's so I can get it added to your genealogy sheet. Yes I'm sure it's been hard of your mom's passing, but just remember she is near by to comfort you when needed.May this be consoling.
