100 things about me. I thought I'd join in with everyone else.

1. I love so so very much any kind of chocolate especially choc. cake with choc. icing. I think vanilla is a waste of time.

2. I don't pray as often as I should and then wonder to often why he doesn't answer my prayers when I think they should be answered.

3. I'm very hard headed.

4. I also have a pretty bad temper.

5. I pray a lot for #4.

6. I like to think my temper has gotten a little better.

7. I wish I never had started coloring my hair. It used to be a reddish, brown color. Now who knows what color it is.

8. I love watching cooking shows.

9. I'm not a great cook but I do my best.

10. I grew up eating hamburger helper and love it still today.

11. Chaz hates and won't let me cook it.

12. I was the oldest of 5 and my house was always crazy.

13. I wish I knew my youngest brother better. There's a 16 year difference and we've never lived close together.

14. I admire my sister Courtni's drive to get her doctrine.

15. I wish I had done better in college. I never really gave it my all until nursing school.

16. I love taking naps. I almost have to take one everyday whether I'm pregnant or not.

17. Some people may call me lazy.

18. I love looking into Abby's eyes. I see a lot of myself in her eyes.

19. I hope Charlie has Abby's big brown eyes. Chaz wants them to be blue like his. I'll take whatever God gives me.

20. I love sports! Playing them and watching them. I especially love football and the Cowboys. I used to play tennis and really miss it.

21. I've never dated anyone my age. All my boyfriends have been at least 2 years older.

22. Chaz is 2 years older.

23. We met at ACU in Biology class. Chaz sat next to me and one day asked if we could share the biology book because he had forgot his. We starting talking and have been together ever since. He proposed to me in that classroom, in the same chairs we were in when we met. He also told me that night that he had his book with him the whole time. He just wanted a reason to talk to me. What a romantic!

24. I truly feel so very blessed to have married such a good man. No one else could put up with me.

25. I have two kids and really want one more. Chaz may need some convincing.

26. I really don't like being pregnant.

27. The thought of giving birth excites me. I really don't have many worries about it.

28. I do worry about raising 2 kids. It all goes back to the patience and temper thing.

29. I don't like to cuddle.

30. I tried out for the cheer leading team my freshman year. I did a cart wheel, fell and couldn't stop laughing. I didn't make the team but became best friends with the cheerleaders anyway. 3 of them are still my best friends.

31. Those 3 girls and I get together at least once a year for a girl's trip and those are some of my favorite times.

32. I loved going to New York. I wish I was one of those people that had what it takes to live there but I'm to lazy for that place.

33. I hate going to the grocery store.

34. I can't iron at all. I really try and it's really sad.

35. When my mom comes to visit she irons our clothes. She even irons our pillow cases. She says it relaxes her. She's crazy!

36. I don't eat healthy at all. I may go days without eating a vegetable.

37. I also hate milk.

38. Now that I think about it, it's amazing I'm not sick all the time because of my diet.

39. I really struggle with my weight.

40. I was a size 12 when Chaz and I got married. I can't believe I was that big.

41. After our one year anniversary, I lost 40 pounds.

42. Now I love to work out, especially running. I never thought I'd say that.

43. I can't wait for Abby to get old enough for me to ask her if she thinks what I'm wearing looks stupid. I'm always questioning that. It will be nice to have a woman's
opinion. I guess I got to used to having my mom and two sisters to ask.

44. Chaz is a little colored blind so asking him is pointless.

45. I don't like the idea of getting older.

46. My grandmother is 94 years old. I really don't want to live that long.

47. I have very crazy dreams. I usually always remember them too. I can't watch scary movies because I will have very scary dreams afterwards.

48. Chaz loves scary movies and loves when my sister Courtni comes to visit because they stay up late watching them. I'm usually in the bedroom watching a non-scary girly movie by myself.

49. I've always wanted to have blue eyes. I tried to use those colored lenses but my eyes are so dark that you couldn't even tell that I had them in.

50. As I've gotten older, I've grown to really like my brown eyes.

51. I really want to get a boob job after I have all my kids. I want to have them lifted and put back where they should be.

52. The doctors can do whatever they think else I need done while they are working on my girls.

53. I'm having contractions while I'm writing this. I wish I would go into labor tonight but only after I finish the cake I've got in the oven.

54. I might show up at the hospital with the cake.

55. I may or may not share that cake.

56. I'm a terrible speller.

57. I used to love math in school but now I can't seem to remember how to do a lot of math. I guess it's true, if you don't use it you loss it.

58. I love being a nurse. I really think God lead me to it.

59. Things that gross most people out, I find fascinating, like open wounds and surgery.

60. I'm very completely challenged. I don't even know how to text message.

61. I get tired of emailing people. Sometimes I just want to talk on the phone.

62. I still laugh at Seame Street. Abby loves that show and we laugh at it together.

63. Chaz keeps me laughing all the time.

64. When we first met I thought he told me his name was Jazz. I went on our first date thinking that.

65. I'm terrible with remembering names.

66. I always wanted my nickname to be Charlie. So I love that I'm at least going to have a Charlie.

67. I hated having the name Calista growing up. I have gone my whole life having to spell out my name to people.

68. Now I have to spell out my last name too.

69. I still can't believe I'm going to be a mother of two. I don't feel old enough to have 2 kids.

70. Like Ches, I love All My Children. I don't watch it every day but at least 3 times a week.

71. I used to love Days of Our Lives but it gets a little too crazy.

72. I'm watching the Cowboy game right now and their playing terrible. Very disappointing.

73. My first boyfriend in High School was the football star of our school. The coach told me that I had to be nice to Jim during football season or he would fail me. I really didn't like that coach.

74. I can play the piano and clarinet. I can't read sheet music. I had to convert everything to numbers to learn the music and I used to be able to play a song after only hearing it a couple of times.

75. I was in the marching band in High School. We were #1 in our district.

76. At our school it was really cool to be in the band.

77. I played basketball my junior year and was terrible.

78. I was also in the school play and was equally terrible.

79. I finally learned to stick with what I was good at which was tennis.

80. I love to decorate my house. Most of the furniture in our house I've either made or redone.

81. I can't wait to move so I can start over.

82. Maybe that's why I want more kids. So I can decorate another room.

83. I think I ate fries at lunch and at dinner. Man, that can't be good.

84. When I was born I had the cord around my neck three times. The doctor thought I was dead and gave me a shot in my leg. When they did that I kicked and I still have a scar where they gave me that shot.

85. I hate to clean!

86. I don't clean my house as often as I should.

87. Abby likes to take wipes and wipe down the furniture. Even a 20 month knows that if she doesn't do it, it may not get done.

88. I can't believe my little sister, Cayce, is going to be a mom. She's going to be great at it. She's has way more patience than I do and I admire her for that.

89. I can't believe that I turned 28 this month. Not that I think that's very old I just never really could see myself older past 21.

90. I'm not a all up to date on music. I never what band, song or artist is singing.

91. I would be the worst contestant ever on that show The Singing Bee.

92. Chaz would be great! He knows so much useless information. He's also be great at any trivia game. I hate playing with him.

93. I think I've eaten some kind of desert everyday for the last month, sometimes a couple of times a day. Man, I've got to get better at saying no.

94. That reminds me, my cake is done.

95. My toe nails are always painted. They may not look that great but they always have some color on them.

96. I hate going to the dentist. I haven't been in years.

97. I had a lot of work done on my teeth as a kid and that's probably I don't go now.

98. I got my first car when I was 15 and got my first ticket the day before my 16th birthday.

99. My car door fell off and I had to drive while holding it so I wouldn't be late to basketball practice.

100. Another car I had, the whole engine fell out while I was driving. It's amazing I lived through high school.

So that's it. It was easier than I thought. OK now I'm going to try not to go eat that cake. Just say no!!

You are so funny! I enjoyed reading about you! Hope your cake was good! I can't believe Charlie is almost here!

O.K. I have tears after reading this post! Hysterical! I haven't laughed this hard in so long! I'm laughing right now! Driving down the road holding your car door on is a great image in my head. I can see you doing that and your main concern is being late to practice not that your door has fallin off.
I hope you enjoyed every bite of your cake you made!
I love that Chaz always had his book with him...that is so sweet! I also don't know why you ever wanted to change the color of your eyes. Yours are beautiful!
I am with you on the spelling of the name. Sometimes people would put a "t" in my name. I wanted to say "do you really think my parents would have done that? I mean really!" "Chestley"!

Oh and I am in for #51 as well. Maybe we can be surgery buddies.

I enjoyed reading your 100 things! I can't believe the engine fell out while you were driving! I wonder if I sold the car to you. I once had a super beetle and was told, after having the car for a year, that the engine was held in by a crow bar that was about to crack. I sold it soon after I found that out! I've always wondered what happened to that car...

Charlie will be here in no time! I can't wait to meet your little boy!

Julia said...

I loved reading your 100 things & learning some new things about you! I had never heard your engagement story - so sweet. I'm with you on being ready for Abby to give you clothing advice -
Emma does already tell me when I look cute which is so much fun! We'll be praying tomorrow goes great! Can't wait to meet Charlie.

Shelly said...

I loved reading this! We both always have our toenails painted! :) Praying you go into labor tonight and that Charlie is here before you have to be induced! Also, of course, that all goes well w/ both of you. I can't wait to see him!!!
