I decided to redo my 100 list since my last one was written while I was very pregnant and emotional. Also this is a great way for my new readers to get to know me.
- I used to spend a lot of money, now I don't. I am very selective on my spending.
- This means that I used to think nothing of spending over a hundred dollars on jeans or a purse. Now, I look at anyone who does that and I kind of wonder what they are trying to prove.
- I own several Coach purses, I am now putting several on Craigs list because I no longer want to be associated with that kind of image.
- That means I've finally realized I am and will always be a jeans and tank top kinda girl who wears shoes with out laces and buys funky target purses.
- I am happier now that I went back to my roots instead of trying to be someone I'm not and impressing people I shouldn't have to impress. Back in the day I wore my moms old tie-dye shirts and jeans rather then fancy prissy shirts and leather boots. I'm happy to be back to my Vans
- I like to give credit where it is due. When I use someones recipe or I use their idea I always try and link to them, I like to do this to help the other people in the world get noticed. I'm also not to proud to admit when someone else helped me out with something or gave me ideas. In fact, 90% of everything I do or say I run by my mom or cousin first, and I always give them credit.
- I make it a point to ask people about their lives at least once a day with out mentioning whats going on in my own life.
- I've tried to learn to stop replying to everything someone says with stuff like, "oh me to," or "oh well I have a better story," I don't always succeed but I am trying so hard to make an effort.
- I really genuinely don't like being touched. Only about 5 people in my life really know and respect this
- I get more upset when I tell someone and they act like I'm not serious and hug me anyway
- I don't like acknowledging how I feel about hugs so if you don't know most of the time I will just allow you to hug me and scream on the inside.
- This is one reason I love my husband, he has learned to tell people to back off me when I'm not brave enough to do it
- I've been in a state of depression for almost 2 months. I can't figure out how to get out, but I think I appear as a functioning depressed person
- Last week I told my husband I wanted to go on medicine for this, but breast feeding is so important to me, I would rather be nutty for 15 months then not nurse my child
- I am passionate about breastfeeding, I realize I come across bold about this and piss people off and I just don't care. If you physically can't nurse fine, but if you can and you simply choose not to, and refuse to even try, it's safe to say I have some pretty bold statements going through my head about you.
- I am not sorry for this, I'm not sorry for a lot of who I am, I have to accept me and surround myself with people who are willing to accept that sometimes I'm just a shit head
- I can't eat avocados or olives, or anything with a pit for that matter.
- I just learned this which means I forget it weekly and eat something bad
- When I do this it hurts like a motherfucker and I wonder how I could forget. I forget again an hour later
- I can not cut chocolate from my life. I actually must consume at least one bite of chocolate a day or I might combust
- I hate plain water. Which is why giving up flavored water for lent has led me to drink massive amounts of tea
- All that caffeine does not make me any less tired
- My newborn sleeps more then my 2 year old. I don't understand this
- I really want to be funny but, I think I was born more dorky then funny
- The sunshine makes my dork level increase by about 400%
- I really want to have youtube video that is popular simply because of how geeky I am
- I'm not very smart, I finally made a couple new female friends and they live so far that I can't even afford to go visit them. Emery, Patty, Jen I'm talking to you. Please kindly move to Nevada mmmkay!
- I almost always look at the clock at 10:29 which is my birthday.
- I feel like a geek noticing this
- I am very uncomfortable around people who aren't one of the six closest people in my life, Lisa, Ginger, Katie, my husband and my mom and dad
- I am far more comfortable around men then women. That means I'd rather have my husbands friends over then most of my own.
- I want to play the drums sooooo bad
- I do play a mean set of air drums though
- I air drum the most to Offspring
- Offspring is my favorite band, I think some people think less of me for this
- I can only write in blue pen
- I prefer real pencils to mechanical pencils
- I get attached to objects meaning I get very angry if I find my pen on your desk and I didn't leave it there
- That means when my thieving husband steals waitresses pens because they "write nice" I give him hell every single time
- I have a phobia of restaurant glasses they oog me out
- Often I have a phobia of all plates and silverware too, as bad as it is for the environment I would rather use paper and plastic so I know that my germs are the only germs on them
- I STILL can not eat cereal since Ginger told me about the bugs in cereal. Even though I realize there is bugs in other food I have formed a mental roadblock for cereal and can not eat it
- I crave cereal every day
- If I was on Fear Factor and they offered me a million dollars to eat fish, totally normal cooked fish, I think I would go about happily being broke instead of eating fish!
- I like to pop my hips, like people pop their knuckles
- I don't paint my nails it looks weird when I see polish on my hands, I end up peeling it off
- My three month old just pooped on me
- I changed clothes and I still smell poop
- I like the way newborn poop smells
- Since I'm nursing Codi and I have the same scent of farts. I think this is funny
- I haven't told anyone that because I'm pretty sure you all think I've lost my mind now
- Curiosity gets the better of me an I have to look before I can flush
- The sound of bathroom fans makes me insane
- I hate cans that aren't built to stack with the bottom smaller then the top I always get mad and then refuse to stack those
- I use cloth bags at the grocery store
- I forget them 1 out of 5 shopping trips
- I now have so many paper bags I don't know where to store them
- I have never beat Mario one or three
- Those are the only games I've played mostly
- When I'm sick I don't like to drink water, it makes me throw up
- I drink milk with ice cream
- I drink milk with spaghetti
- I will not drink whole milk
- But I will put it in my oatmeal
- I always remember not to cuss when my kids AREN'T there
- When I was little my grandma taught me to walk in a straight line and cross my ankles like a lady
- Because I walked in a straight line guys used to say I shook my ass
- So did girls
- Girls hated me in school for all the wrong reasons
- They didn't even know about the actual reasons they should have hated me
- People reaquaint with me now and tell me that I am much nicer then they ever thought I would have been, they were too afraid to give me a chance before
- I love my eyes
- I think it is important to know how to smile for a picture
- Both my husband and I can do a perfect picture smile at any notice
- I think this is because we both had braces and we really earned that smile
- I made my dentist take my braces off early because I refused to start school with braces
- Kissing boys with rubber bands in your mouth is nearly impossible
- So is kissing your boyfriend right after having your wisdom teeth pulled
- I think mine were defective because I didn't have wisdom even before they pulled them out
- I write notes on my calender
- I lose them every time
- I am dying to see a picture of val and swistle
- My favorite sandwich consists of fresh white wonder bread, mayo and plastic cheese.
- I used to love hot dogs and bologna in my eggs
- I used to love eggs
- Now I only eat them hard boiled
- Or in cake
- Cake is good
- I prefer chocolate cake
- Do you have any cake?
- I can't bake for shit
- I can cook anything savory but baking cakes and cookies, thats a laugh
- I don't mind eating cookies
- Do you have any cookies?
- Girl scout cookies are my favorite
- I have heartburn
- My rolaids are too far away
- I wish I could be a better mom
- I wish I wasn't crazy
- Someday my goal is to accept me for me and have the rest of the world accept me too

Wild, I know several people nursing and on SSRIs. One person went to see Dr. Newman in person about it and he gave her his blessing to go on an SSRI and get healthy for her and baby's sake. TALK TO YOUR DOCTOR! You don't need to feel like this. Motherisk also says SSRI's (antidepressants) are perfectly safe for nursing. I've heard a TON about this lately!
I loved this by the way! a FAB nursing read!
Now I kinda feel like a bad friend because you're always like "hey Jen how are you today, blah blah happened to me." and I'm like "OMG MEE TOO let me tell you about my craphazard day!!" and also I am sorry I hugged you last time I saw you but it was my wedding day and I hadn't seen you in 4 years so let's just call ourselves even... and also I just ate 2 thin mints and.. umm you're a great mom and better than 97% of moms even on YOUR most craphazard batshit crazy day-so THERE!
Oh and the other 3% of moms left are those moms that all us normal moms HATE so you don't want to be one of those anyways. :-P
YOU ARE A GREAT MOM!! ENOUGH SAID.
Your list is great! It got sillier at the end. Um, do you need a cookie?
I keep reading these lists on various sites and telling myself I will do one. I doubt I have a hundred things to say about me, but someday I will try and put a list together.
Love the list! I strongly believe in #6 and not just for recipes but for pretty much anything someone else gives me advice on and it wasn't my own idea. Just the right thing to do I guess.
You always do #7 and I hope I do as well...this is a big one for me too & if I'd screwed I'm really trying...you know use rushed NYers it's like we have to hit a word quota each day....so talk, talk, talk
I think we each say #8 at least once a day! :)
#27 might be a little hard but you can't rule out the possiblity that I would visit you...and I promise not to hug.
You are a fantastic mom! You really know yourself and make changes in your life for the better. What more could your kids ask for!
great list!
dorky=funny.
What a great blog. :)
#50 had me rolling!
I read your blog because you're not a "girly girl" and I can relate to you.
Awwwww!!!! I'm touched to even be included on this fabulous list!
