Oh, the boots! The heels- the higher the better! The clothes! In fact, I just put a picture up of my daughter on FB last night modeling her newest pair of boots and said I'd passed the boot loving gene on to her. <br /><br />I love that you love yourself. I love me, too. God made each of us, and to not love ourselves would be a travesty against what He's created.<br /><br />Spritual and family- at the very top. My must see tv is The Biggest Loser, and some will tell you I am just a little too addicted to it.<br /><br />Exercise! What's a day without it? Not very productive.<br />Great list!Shellyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04930262815304757150noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-249763712759401212.post-44517063287498728952012-01-23T02:03:13.984-06:002012-01-23T02:03:13.984-06:00God and Jesus Christ and the Church of Jesus Chris...God and Jesus Christ and the Church of Jesus Christ of latter day saints. My faith is part of who I am and every decision I make. There have been times in my life when I have wandered from the religion of my childhood. I realize I am far happier when I am true God.<br /><br />I love my babies more than myself. WAAAAY more than myself. Doesn't every mother though? <br /><br />I love myself. Sometimes I feel as though I am judged harshly by other women or very pious men. But I would never want to change who I am at the core of me.<br /><br />My husband. I would have no babies without him. He loves me more than I've ever witnesses a man love a woman.<br /><br />Crap TV. The Kardashians have me entranced. A 72 day marriage?! Now THAT'S good TV! I also adore Fashion Police. Joan Rivers is a foul old broad and I can't get enough of her crude humor.<br /><br />Boots. High Heels. Clothes.<br /><br />Exercise.<br /><br />Chicken wings. :)Crystal Pistolhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16384208762919600611noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-249763712759401212.post-51718474807808454082012-01-22T07:43:18.602-06:002012-01-22T07:43:18.602-06:00Missed Periods: Whoohooo!

How beautiful to be trained in classical piano! I play piano, but not trained classically. And girrrrllll- I could shop for some shoes with you. Love those things.

Comfy clothes - I hate things I have to fuss with or tug at<br />3. Shoes - buying them, wearing them, looking at them, obsessing about them. They are never too tight if you put on 5 pounds.<br />4. Spending time with a good girlfriend - or two or three. Not a crowd though. I feel lost in crowds.<br />5. Cooking - especially something I've never tried before. I am easily bored with the same old thing. A new recipe is an adventure.<br />6. Writing - see #1<br />7. Being with my kids - they really know how to make me laugh. And the grandkids. They're awesome and sweet - the best part of our family.<br />8. My husband - also goes without saying. He is my favorite indulgence. <br />9. The ocean. Especially when there are dolphins swimming. Or if it's in Hawaii.<br />10. Music - all kinds. I was trained in classical in piano, but love listening to anything and everything. Lady Gaga? Yes please! Jackson Browne and Jack Johnson - I'm a sucker for clever lyrics and catchy rhythms.<br />11. Horses. I've had some good ones. I miss having one now.<br />12. Lists. Kind of like this one. They keep me organized and help me think.<br /> The Endkarenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16313237142656662148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-249763712759401212.post-15018494372963387492012-01-20T16:50:35.370-06:002012-01-20T16:50:35.370-06:00Nancy: Your number is my number one, too!

My five children and my husband ARE my life and truly, nothing else matters. I also am blessed to have an incredible extended family. My parents, siblings and their spouses are my best friends. Family get-togethers are my favorite activity.<br />3. Chocolate chip cookies straight from the oven with a large glass of milk. This will never get old or never be too much. NEVER!<br />4. Books, books, books!!! Some of my fav's: Jane Eyre, Lonesome Dove, The Wednesday Wars--I love a good junior high teacher! ;)--, Endurance:Shackleton's Incredible Voyage, The Hunger Games...there are just too many good ones!<br />5. High heels. I'm really not that flashy of a dresser, but I LOVE how I feel about myself in heels. The higher the better. I could fill my closet with them, just to try them on and look in the mirror! <br /><br />And.....my black lab, Rocky IV, music playing loudly while I cook, basketball, Arrested Development, country dancing, high quality bruschetta, and lists!
