Today's Random Fact: I have always wanted to be 36 years old. And today I am!!!! Whoo hoo!
A note about the above random fact: It's funny that I have opinions about ages not because of what it might mean to be that old or young but just the number itself. I'm not superstitious about numbers or certain ages, I just like some numbers and do not like others. How can I "like" or "dislike" a number? I don't know, I'm weird. I hated being 35, it's an ugly number. I always dreaded that birthday and I'm so glad I'm not 35 anymore! I liked 34, loved being 30 and 24 was an awesome number to be. One might think I like even numbers best however, I loved being 29 and 19 was my most favorite age I've been so far. I actually got a bit depressed when I turned 20. My parents threw me an "Over the Hill" party to make me laugh, which it did cheer me up but I still didn't like being 20 and to this day I still miss being 19.
I'm afraid that I will get really bummed next year because 37 is a number I think is so ugly. Uglier than 35. I don't want to be 37 at all, that number is hideous! Maybe I'll just be 38 for 2 years or stay 36 an extra year. Now here's the weirdest of all, I can't wait to be in my 40's!!! I'm looking forward to that entire decade (the 40's)!!! They are all pretty numbers because I like the number 4. Ya'll can throw me a HUGE party when I turn 4o because I will be happy to be all of the ages from 40-49. I don't really have a strong feeling about 50.........
It's not just ages. I like certain dates better than others. I love my birthdate 02-16-1973. My kids birthdays are good. Jesse's is 01-22-2000 but I like the 21st better. I was induced on the 21st but didn't deliver him until the 22nd. Maybe that's why I like the 21st better?? Joshua's birthdate is great 01-28-2002. Love it! Alita's is good, 05-04-2007, until my husband pointed out that we could have scheduled the c-section for the 6th and then her birthday would have been 05-06-07. How cool would that have been?
I admitted all this to my husband last night and he said to me, "I didn't know you were autistic too Abby." Maybe I am. Okay, I think I've rambled on about ages and dates long enough. I have probably bored you, sorry. Please post more random facts about yourselves. I love reading them!!!!

06-18-92 (when my sweet Abby was 19) was a good date too...can you remember why???
My random fact... my tastebuds are not always consistant:
I like oranges. I like juice. I cannot stand orange juice.
I do not like mustard. I do not like honey. I really like honey-mustard.
I love carmel. I like popcorn. I will not touch carmel popcorn with a ten-foot pole.
Abby you crack me up!
Here's mind: I have a hard time staying up until midnight on New Year's Eve but put a good book in front of me and I can stay up all night. In fact, last friday I started a book at 10:30 and didn't put it down until I was done with it at 4. Yes, 4 am. I am a little crazy especially since I have kids who get up at 6. But it was worth it. I fell asleep at 8 the next night:-)
Coletta, yes, I remember why!!!!!! It took me a bit to figure it out but that's your "re-birthday" isn't it?!?!? I'm so honored to have been their when you accepted Christ! You are a such a special, precious person and the kingdom of God is richer because you are in it!!!!
