I've come to realize PLUS

I copied this from my Facebook page but I am going to elaborate on my answers.

1. I've come to realize that my boobs...deserve the very best bra money can buy

This NO joke. When you have what I like to call "noticeable" boobs it is EXTREMELY important that you buy a bra with support. Support costs. Trust me on this one. BUT the "girls" deserve it.

2. I've come to realize that my job... is never done

My job as wife, mother, daughter, teacher, friend, acquaintance, etc. The list literally goes on and on. And this is OK.

3. I've come to realize that when I'm driving...I zone out

Don't panic! I do pay attention. I just rarely remember traveling from point A to point B. It's like ouila and I am there. Now you can panic. LOL

4. I've come to realize that I need... a vacation to ANYWHERE

I really really really want to take a vacation to an island with my spouse. We have not been on a "vacation" together since the year we got married. I can't really call it a honeymoon since we eloped and didn't travel anywhere for 3 months. I think we are overdue.

5. I've come to realize that I've lost...a little elasticity in my face

I have noticed subtle changes in the past year that I had not noticed before. I am convinced it's the turning 40 thing.

6. I've come to realize that I hate it when...I don't get my way

OK, as my friends have loved to point out to me that they have known this for YEARS...I would like to say that I have TOO! So there!

7. I've come to realize the people I like...are fun, thoughtful and caring

The friends I do have left (I tend to lose friends) are the BEST! Some have been with me forever and others only a little while but they truly are the BEST and very forgiving.

8. I've come to realize that money...is just paper that happens to rule the world

Which is saying money is necessary to pay bills and important. I like money!

9. I've come to realize that people...are basically good

I truly believe this in my heart of hearts. This irritates my husband but I just can't give up on the notion that we are good. We just sometimes choose bad.

10. I've come to realize that I'll always be...in awe of my child

As far as I am concerned the ONLY thing I have gotten right in 41 years.

11. I've come to realize that my mom...knew way more than I gave her credit for

My mom was always the cool mom. I just never realized that she was once a kid, teenager, young married girl, young mother, and a pioneer for equal rights for women...just like ME.

12. I've come to realize that my cell phone...frustrates me

If you don't believe me ask Sarah at Cingular. I frustrate her! LOL

13. I've come to realize that when I woke up this morning...my eyes were puffy

What's up with that??

14. I've come to realize that last night before I went to sleep...I wished it was Friday

This is becoming a regular occurence for me. I think I have a case of senioritis as well. I love my class of 2009 but I am ready to graduate with them!

15. I've come to realize that right now I am thinking about...getting ready for work

Really?

16. I've come to realize that my dad...needs me

I did not know this until his health problems this year. Wow is all I can say.

17. I've come to realize that when I get on Facebook...it's not as much fun as it used to be

I do not like the new layout. Enough said.

18. I've come to realize that today...is a blank slate

I learned this in Sunday School around the age of 9. It's the best part of life to me. You can make mistakes but you get the opportunity to "get it right" the next day.

19. I've come to realize that tonight...I wonder who is getting voted off Idol

I am thinking Matt Giraud although I really don't want him to go.

20. I've come to realize that tomorrow will be... another day

See #18

21. I've come to realize that I really want to...win the lottery

I have BIG plans for this! Ask ACV! And the FUMC would be debt free too!

22. I've come to realize that life...is a lot shorter than you think

I really want to live well past 80 years. It will take me that long to correct all the mistakes I have made!

23. I've come to realize that this weekend... will be super busy

Prom, Birthday party, and out of town.

24. I've come to realize that my ex...was a necessary evil that I had to learn from

I have been married for 12 years but I know I wouldn't be the person I am today if not for all the screw ups I learned from. Thanks to all! :)

25. I've come to realize the best music to listen to when I am upset...60's soul music

This is my music! Aretha, Marvin, Smokey, etc. You name it and they move me. Love Motown!

26. I've come to realize that my friends...love me anyway

God bless them!

27. I've come to realize that this past year (2008)...was another year in the life of Steph

12 months of FUN!

28. I've come to realize that the last person i kissed...totally loves me

This was actually Anthony for those who thought it was Blakely! This guy puts up with a LOT. He must love me!

29. I've come to realize that when people walk out of my life...they miss out

A good dose of self-esteem never hurt anybody!

Well, hope you understand my ranting explanations. Later.....
