25 Randon Things about Erin

1. I'm a pill popper...for everything - headaches, stomach aches, allergies, etc. Oh especially to sleep during the day and at night.


2. I kill plants, mine and other peoples I'm just watching for awhile. Usually slowly, I follow instruction so I can't figure out why.


3. One of my favorite times of day is seeing what position Evelyn is sleeping in before I go to bed.


4. 2 phrases I never realized I said ALL the time till Randy pointed it out is: "I want to get married again" at all weddings, and on every vacation "it makes you wonder why we live in Michigan".


5. Within a week of Evie being born I honestly couldn't remember being pregnant and was sad.


6. I have a hard time letting go...of anything. I had a puppet bunny named Smelly growing up and slept with it under my pillow until Evie was born.


7. Which leads me to that I am still upset that someone who was my best friend hasn't talked to me for the last 6 1/2 years.


8. If I have clothing items that are warm and cuddly I can't help but put them on almost every day.


9. I made a resolution that once we moved in our new house (beginning of Oct I think) I would not wear sweat pants after 1 pm everyday. I've added on so many stipulations that I now wear jeans when I leave the house.


10. Even though I am a labor and delivery nurse I am still amazed and amuzed when I see babies move in their mom's tummys.


11. I came in first place for women in Pickeral Lake's annual triathalon. It's unimportant how many participated.


12. I am very "Dutch". One example is I ALWAYS get water at restaurants and it took me a long time to get over Randy ordering a pop.


13. Randy and I both love baked goods. When we bake bread we each have our own loaf. After making Christmas cookies we pick every other cookie (like a draft) and have our own container so it's completely fair.


14. I'm not sure if I could survive without Randy, among many reasons he's my organization. I realized a little to late that I needed to renew my RN licence and told him and he'd taken care of it months ago.


15. In middle and high school I would dislocate my knees especially playing sports. It's now hard for me to watch sports without cringing, just waiting for legs to dislocate.


16. I like drinks extremely cold. Before I drink my pop I put the can in the freezer and now set a timer so I won't forget. I've had several explosions.


17. I was on the sailing team in high school. My partner and I were the only not competitive ones. We would yell "ahoy" to random boaters and beach the sail boat.


18. I almost killed Lindsay (my sister). We were working at a camp and the lake was so rough that they wouldn't let people out sailing, but let us because I told them I was on the sailing team. Lindsay ended up on the low side, chest deep in water, with the rope wrapped around her neck. In my defence I told her to switch sides, she was just a little slow.


19. I was scared of being kissed in middle/high school. When a guy would go in I would quickly say "I just want to be friends".


20. When I retire or move to a big city I want to work at a zoo with sea lions, dolphins, or seals.


21. If something is on sale I feel a need to buy it.


22. When I hear missionairies speak at church, it makes me want to become a missionary in Africa, but I realized it's not very practicle for me.


23. When I was working on ortho one of my patients was going through withdrawl and started choking me and telling me he was going to kill me. One of the nurse techs elbowed him in the throat and took him down. My dad took Karate before us kids were around and had repeatedly showed my how to break someones pinkies if they were choking me. The one time in my life I could have used that skill all I did was scream.


24. I love buying cute new underware. Not bras they are too pricey.


25. I can't make decisions, usually I find someone to decide for me.
