25 things - revisited

Do y'all remember this little ditty that went around on facebook a good 4 years ago? I was "cleaning up" my facebook the other day, yanno... untagging pictures, defriending people I never talk to, those fun things, and came across one of the only notes I did. I thought it'd be fun to not only post it on here, but go through with my "new thoughts," of how true they remained, or how far from the truth they are now!


1. I spent 4 years of college learning what I didn't want to happen in my life. Between a career choice that didn't turn out and relationships that I have learned more about myself from then anything, I'd like to say it was money down the drain. When it comes to a life lesson though - it definitely did it's job.
 truth! college is a story for another day I feel like. 

2. Apparently I should have stuck to my gut when my 7 year old self said "I want to be a teacher." A year and a half after graduation and now I'm going back to school to get my teaching license.
And while I did that, I ended up getting screwed over and still don't have my license. You can read about that here.

3. This summer my doctor removed one too many "close call moles" - since then I have a mini-freak out before getting into the tanning bed. It's still a stress reliever for me.
I have had one more mole removed since then, & now have yearly checks. There's quite a few being "watched," which means the tanning habit has gone far far away.

4. 2009 has turned out way better then I expected. Then again, everything happens when you least expect it and aren't looking for it. I believe that to the fullest.
I'll agree with that! I believe I wrote this when I met my husband, so yes :) 

5. I am finally ready to find out what my natural hair color is, and to stick to it!
Yes, and YES! I found out my hair color in January of 2010, and have yet to do anything to it. I have gotten it cut twice (yikes!) since then, but am now going back and forth on color & cut for the new  year. 

6.Football and Baseball are seasons to me. Which means when you ask me what my favorite season is, there’s a pretty good chance I will say one of the above. And yes, I do have a countdown to the start of each of them.
Yes and no. Still a big football fan, baseball not as much. I do have a countdown to Badger football, but I now start it during the summer instead of the last game of the season. My obsession has passed a bit. 

7. I’m a big believer in first impressions, though I do love when people prove me wrong and you end up getting a friend outta the deal.
Still the truth! 

8. I have a tendency to over-play my new "it" song of the moment and about a month later, I'm already sick of it. However, with country music that doesn't seem to be the case :]
This is actually funny as I no longer do this, but man my husband is beyond guilty of this! 

9.I’m slowly becoming a “big girl” and saving money for things that really matter and paying my bills. I get a bit of satisfaction out of it.
This hasn't happened in quite awhile with the whole "unemployed" situation. I'm hoping 2013 means different... especially since we have destination weddings to attend! 

10.I love love love doing laundry. Cooking on the other hand... I'm getting better and love having people to cook for!
Still the truth! Though I love cooking a bit more then laundry :) 

11. I have to check at least AOL, People.com, and FoxSports daily. Otherwise I feel completely out of the loop with everything.
This has now changed to People, Facebook, Twitter, & Bloglovin. 

12. My kitten is my little baby. And he's weird... as in sits on his haunches, gives me kisses, plays fetch with me, and has the longest ear hair I've ever seen. But he's my little chunk and I wouldn't trade him for the world :]
Amen. 

13.The only type of music I will not listen to is headbangers ball crap. I grew up on country and the oldies and would rather listen to that then z104.
Still the same here. 

14. I love the Christmas season - but I do not love when radio stations start playing Christmas after Halloween. I like to enjoy my "autumn" before being forced into winter and the holiday season.
Still agree. While I'm very into the Christmas season this year, I do not like when radio stations start playing Christmas music November 1st. 

15. I use to be the biggest tomboy growing up, but over the years pink has grown to be my favorite color and manicures are the best for a bad day. I could still do without the mall though.
Manicures are the best when you can afford them. just saying.

16. I have all these "dreams" of taking mini-weekend vacays and would love to do so - however there's that whole money issue. Sometimes I hate being a big girl.
Totes McGoats still feel this way.

17. My obsession with Brett Favre is still there, even though he's now a Viking. I don't care what anyone says, I am still a Packer fan, but I still love Brett. And yes, I am "that person" who thinks he left thanks to Thompson's pushing. I have a theory, I'll gladly explain it :]
Yes, yes, yes. Even after the cell phone scandal. Still love this man.

18. Speaking of the Packers, the more stupid management decisions made, the harder it is for me to watch them every week. Knowing things could have been avoided and certain players should be on the sidelines, and certain ones are being pushed out the door.... it's frustrating.
A-friggin-gree.

19. I've really started to have a laid-back attitude about relationships.
Pretty sure I was thinking about friendships with this one. That's a blog for another day.

20. In the last 6 months, I have really built some thick skin and some thick walls. I can count the number of people I trust on one hand and for once it doesn't bother me at all. "I'd rather have a few close friends then tons of fake ones."
Mhmmmmmm!

21.I am short. And I am fully aware of that. The saying “stating the obvious” tends to come to mind when people comment on my height.
Yup, haven't grown any.

22. Sarcasm is my middle name. Unfortunately unless you really know me, it’s going to come off as completely bitchy. Sorry in advance.
This has gotten better. Not as bitchy ;]

23. Reading is fun to me. No matter how busy I am, I try to take time out to relax and read. And pretty much anything works. Especially those trashy romance novels in the summer ;]
Truth. You should see the stack of library books I have. Due in 2 weeks! Yikes! 

24. In the last 9 months, I have never been happier. I have so much to be thankful for and I definitely have to pinch myself sometimes.
Since 2009, I have never been happier :]

25.I would lose my mind without my day planner. I buy my purses so that they're big enough to fit it, it's just how I roll :]
This was before I learned about Erin Condren. Now, I can't live without it. 

Crazy! I don't think I've changed that much, but when you look at this, I definitely have. I'd like to say it's for the better. These things are quite funny, aren't they?
