1) I am really outspoken, but I think it is to cover up all of the inadequacies that I feel. And I really don't say half of what I think.... no one would like me then :-)
2) If I had to pick a favorite cuisine, it would probably be Mexican. Although Italian is up there too.
3) I don't enjoy missions services, when a missionary visits and speaks about the country they are a missionary to. Heretical, I know, but true.

5) Most days, I feel like a failure.
6) My favorite music artist is the Booth Brothers.
7) If I could live anywhere I wanted, it would be near a beach and lighthouse. I'd go to church at the beach, work at the beach, read at the beach........

11) The second place I'd like to live is in Amish country.

14) I can't remember the last time I read a secular book. Or listened to a secular song.
15) I still have a massive self esteem issue.
16) I think my favorite vacation ever was two years ago. My parents, my little sister and her family, and my 3 nieces took a 2-day trip to Lancaster, PA to go to the Sight and Sound Theater, and a few other places. It was too short, but awesome.
17) I really loathe the word "delish" and would love to ban the word.
18) I like my church, but wish we had events outside of church for people to get together and fellowship and have fun.
19) If I publicly said how strongly I feel about our current president, the Secret Service would most likely show up at my door.
20) My favorite drink is iced tea - sweet, and diet coke with certain foods like pizza.
21) I love Christmas, but hate winter.
22) I really, really do hate winter. And don't enjoy driving on the roads when they are bad.
23) I'd love a 70 degree climate 365 days of the year.
24) I have to take a pill nightly to help me sleep.
25) I love covered bridges and have one close to me I visit often.
26) Getting old scares me.
27) There are still times I feel like I need to earn God's grace.
28) I really don't enjoy singing in church unless I really like the song.
29) I have too many favorite authors to narrow it down to just one.
30) I've spent most of my life feeling like I had to hide the real me.
31) I remember just about every joke I have heard, though it often takes something someone says to trigger the joke.

33) I love superhero movies.
34) There are days I wish I could take some books and go off by myself for a couple of days.
35) I love fried chicken, and my mom's fried chicken is my favorite. I'd pick it for my last meal.
36) I can't sing a part, though I wish I could.
37) I believe it is better to read a few verses of Scripture and get something out of it, than to read a few chapters and just mark it off the checklist.
38) I wish I could go barefoot and go in sandals 365 days a year.
39) I've probably cried more in my life than most men.
40) Sometimes I am amazed at how many people have added me as a friend on Facebook, and figure if they knew me well, they'd delete me.
41) I really loathe sports more than most people would consider normal, but feel sports played a large part in the bullying I got in high school and the scars I carry inside to this day.
42) My favorite translation of the Bible is the New Living Translation.
43) I struggle with depression, though I usually keep a good handle on it, but lately it has been kicking my butt.
44) I love to blog, and find it therapeutic, but often think what I write is dumb.

48) I wish I could travel and take pictures of churches and other interesting things I'd run across.
49) I've carried a secret for years that has gotten too heavy to carry, and I believe has done me more harm by keeping it, than if I had told the world.
50) I love it when someone gives me a card and writes a personal note in it, which might be why I hate Christmas newsletters so much. They are impersonal and mass produced.
51) I wish I could see my nephews more often, but am glad they are now 2 hours away instead of 9
52) Some people think Facebook is a waste of time, but it helps me keep connected to the world and stops me from withdrawing into myself, as I used to do so often.
53) One thing I don't like about my job is how early I have to go to bed..... I love staying up late.
Speaking of which, it is time I stop blogging and get ready to head there.
