25 (Random) Things... About Me


I'm not sure whether I've posted this here (or on Facebook) before, if I did it was years ago, and so well, this is me - in a completely random nutshell!

1.  When I need to calm down, I take a shower and drink coffee.
2.  I've been a stay at home mom for most of the last 7 years and I don't see an end to that in the near future.
3.  I'm writing a book. 
4.  My favorite ice cream is (still) chocolate chip mint.
5.  I NEVER liked the color pink until I had a baby girl.
6.  I have three kids: Zona, Izack, and Saphira.
7.  I love Stargate SG1, Stargate Atlantis and Battlestar Galatica but I've rarely watched them when they are on TV.
8.  I've developed (and groomed) a fascination with mythology.
9.  I took dance lessons for 16 years and when I was a little girl I wanted to be a ballerina.
10.  I married my 'high school sweetheart' when I was 22 (he was 23) and we've been together for 12 years now.
11.  I had never been on an airplane until I was 19 years old - we flew to Orlando, Florida.  Since then I've flown to Mexico, Toronto, Ottawa, New York, Fort McMurray and Calgary.
12.  My favorite color is blue.
13.  I got my hair cut for the first time when I was 14!
14.  I started gymnastics when I was 3 years old and started student teaching when I was 11.
15.  I decided that I wanted to be a doctor because I wanted to save people.
16.  I decided that I didn't want to be a doctor when I realized that not every one wants to be saved and because a lot of the time even the ones who do want to be saved can't be.
17.  I prefer black licorice to the red stuff... and I inherited that from my Grandpa McGlenn.
18.  I like to read and write fan fiction about my favorite TV shows and book characters.
19.  I have 2 sisters: one older and one younger and NONE of us really got along with each other until Jennifer moved out of the house and I got my drivers license.  Years later we are all very close.
20.  Over the years my husband has become my best friend.
21.  When I had a baby boy, I had no idea what to do with him... actually I still have that problem sometimes ;)
22.  If given the option, I'd prefer to stay home 9 times out of 10 - but every once in a while I have to get out.
23.  I don't want to have any more children.
24.  I love to eat oysters with cheese, crackers and some Red Hot Sauce - this I got from my mom.
25.  I have always been, and will probably always be, a 'Daddy's Girl.'  I can't help it - my dad is just one of my favorite people in the world.

This is not one of those copy&paste, or complete and forward this to 10 of your friends, type of things... It's really just 25 random things about me.  

Informative? LOL!

Our Newest Treasure

After all the waiting, both patient and impatiently, the baby is finally here!!! So without further ado, I'd like to introduce to you all: Helyn Saphira Marie Our precious jewel ;) Born August 6, 2008 [08-06-08] 5:59pm 7lbs 12oz, 21 1/4 inches (our biggest baby!) As for information on the actual birth, for those of you who are interested... I mentioned in my last post I had a doctors appointment on Wednesday afternoon and when he checked me I was 3cm dilated. Now at this point [1:15pm] I wasn't actually having any contractions and by the end of the appointment he had made arrangements to induce me on Thursday morning - which would have been the 7th. I went from the doctors office to my mom's office to let her know how things had gone and to visit for a few minutes. By 2pm I'd started to have a few contractions but I didn't think too much about them as they weren't really all that different from what I'd been having for the last week or so. By 2:30p...

Trick-or-Treating with the Kids!!

OH A HAPPY HALLOWEEN!!!!! She was Piglet at 5 months. A devil the next year. Last year Arora was a 'Butterfly Princess Fairy' (she couldn't narrow it down to just one), and this year we settled on being a witch. The decision making bit for the costume, of course, was that it had bright pink in it. But mommy (obviously that's me) was able to find a pair of tights and a sweater in the same shade of bright pink, so on the whole the Witch was a winner!!! Being only three weeks old last year on Halloween Zack didn't actually dress up. In a sense he was just 'a new-born' and we didn't actually take him around at all. This year though we (and I suppose that should really just be 'I') wanted his costume to be something really cute, but cool too. When I was shopping in Calgary a couple weeks ago I was able to find the PERFECT costume, at Old Navy of all places, and though mom and I worried that it might be a bit too big, we were wrong, it ...

A Quickie!

So here's an update on the whole oven/stove issue. Allow me to briefly describe the conversation I had with my mom... Me: It worked before and now it doesn't. It's broken. (somewhat paraphrased) Mom: Check the fuses. Me: I will, but I'd rather have a new one. Mom: And if that's not it then replace the elements. Me: I will. But I'd really prefer a new one. Mom: Dad will be home on the weekend I'm sure he'd could look at it for you, if you need him too. (that one's somewhat paraphrased too but that's the gist of what she said) Me: He can. But I'd REALLY rather have a new one. For Christmas and all. (and I smiled sweetly even though she couldn't actually see it since we were on the phone!) Mom: It can probably be fixed. Me: Probably. Though I'd REALLY just like to get a NEW ONE! Mom: If it can't be fixed, we'll see. Me: (and I'm smiling really big now) Since it's Christmas and all? Mom: Yeah, Christmas. Somehow, ...
