Trying out the 100

Don't feel obligated to read this.

1. I love to laugh...laughing is contagious...most of the time.
2. I can quote movies like a mad man.
3. I love to quote movies with my friends and husband. I love it when Trace quotes movies with me. I love Trace.
4. I really enjoy watching basketball. Mainly the Suns, but they suck sometimes and I end up getting irritated.
5. Sometimes I think I'm weird cause I like to watch Sports Center.
6. Shopping isn't my most favorite thing. My mom used to get so mad at me when it was time to pick out a Prom dress. I was so picky and I knew EXACTLY what I wanted...and we would shop and shop until I finally found it. Looking back at pictures those dresses were nothing to brag about!
7. I love having friends and making new ones. BUT my old friends have a greater understanding about me.
8. I love the smell of rain in the mountains.
9. I enjoy leaving singing messages. I especially love to sing old country songs by the Judds, Reba, or Alabama.
10. I have an amazing singing voice.
11. I used to have to sing at the family Christmas party. Rustin, Kari, Kristen, and I. We are pretty much amazing together. Quartet anyone?
12. Speaking of amazing singing. I once sang in a "Little Miss Navajo County Pageant" when I was like 5 or something. I got stage fright...and it ruined my singing career. Thanks a lot mom. I could be making big bucks in Nashville.
13. I drove a kick-a car in High School. I drove a Cherry Red Station Wagon...AKA "Wild Thang." I HATED it at the time...but looking back...I loved that little car. Many good times had by all. AND I loved the auto seatbelts. So cool.
14. I loved playing sports in High School. Volleyball, Basketball (even though we sucked), and Softball.
15. Bus trips were uncomfortable and unforgetable.
16. Oh I love to leave really long messages about nothing imparticular on peoples phones. I think it is hilarious...even though it really isn't.
17. I love a phone call from an old friend.
18. I love getting daily emails from my mom, danica, and my dad...and sometimes Rustin. It's amazing that we have enough going on in our lives to write something each day...but we do...and it's a great way to stay in touch.
19. My little sister is outspoken and tells you what is on her mind...wheither you like it or not. AND I love that about her. I wish I could be more like her.
20. My mom is the best mom in the world. She's supportive, funny, creative, organized, giving, faithful, and just so much fun to be around. I want to be like her.
21. One of my favorite college past times was living with Ashley, Jesica, and Diane. :) I loved being Ashley's roomie and sharing our ward drobe, playing raquetball, softball, going swimming, cooking sunday breakfast, playing football with the JC guys, and just hanging out 24/7.
22. I also loved living with Amanda, Robyn, Jessica, and Caroline. SCUM, volleyball, Gold's Gym, Denny's, Applebees, Texas Roadhouse, SO FUN. Someday Amanda and I will build a house next to eachother. All my friends are welcome to build next to me.
23. I consider my roomates 1/2 sisters.
24. I love small towns. I will live in a small town someday.
25. I want to raise my babies in a small town.
26. I love babies. I love my Brody. I was SO scared about being a mom. I'll admit...somedays I have to slap myself to remind myself that I'm a mom...and that maybe I should grow up a little bit.
27. Danica used to say that I was more immature than she was...and she's three years to my younger. I just like to have fun...and act stupid sometimes.
28. Class clown 2002...explains a lot.
29. Believe it or not...I'm kind of shy around people I don't know. It takes me a while to warm up. But once I get started, there is no turning back.
30. I'm an amazing artist. (see header...um hello, amazing!)
31. I LOVE hair products. I love to use a good shampoo and conditioner. Too bad it's so expensive and I have to give up my right arm for it.
32. For the most part I loved being a waitress. I loved summers at Torreon with Rustin, Danica, Laura, Krista, Nick...lots of work, but fun working with all of them.
33. I also loved working with Rustin at Islands. NO ONE believed we were brother and sister...for the LONGEST time. It was hilarious. Rustin- do the macarena for old times sakes.
34. I, as well as my sister, enjoy watching people fall, slip, and crash. (as long as they aren't hurt too badly.)
35. I love to watch people...they are so interesting to me.
36. I love having clean sheets. It's one of the best things ever.
37. OH new socks are next to heaven.
38. I love mowing the lawn. I always try to make the lines perfectly straight. Maybe I should work at a baseball field.
39. I sometimes get bored at work and end up filling out really long lists that are pretty much pointless.
40. Every morning I wish that Brody would just sleep for 30 more minutes. Why don't babies come with snooze buttons? THAT WOULD BE AMAZING!
41. I love going home to Show Low. It's funny cause a trip to Wal-Mart is like a 10 year High School Reunion.
42. I love my inlaws. They are such fun-loving people.
43. I want to have a lot of kids. Not 12 like Lon and Toni. But maybe 6. Is 6 a lot? It seems like a lot to me.
44. I HATE repeating myself. I get really frustrated if a person keeps asking me "WHAT" over and over again. DID I STUDDER? Come on people. I get anxiety when people don't understand me.
45. If I'm teaching someone a new procedure, or trick, or pretty much any hands-on training kind of thing I'll repeat myself once or twice. After that you are on your own. Best of luck.
46. I don't like to explain myself. I are who I are. I is who I is.
47. I think of myself as a quick worker. Stand back and don't get in my way!
48. I MAY be just a LITTLE stubborn! I think I inherited it from my dad.
49. Oh I LOVE to dye my hair, but I don't anymore cause Trace doesn't like it. The things I do for love...
50. I LOVE LOVE getting a pedicure. mmmmm....love it.
51. I love getting a pedicure with a friend.
52. I love getting a pedicure with a friend and drinking a Dr. Pepper with crushed ice at the same time. OH HEAVENS YES.
53. I love sleeping on my stomach. I slept on my stomach the day after Brody came out. Best night of sleep I had in 9 months...well, minus the screaming baby at 2 and 4 and then 6 in the morning!
54. I love it that Brody sleeps ALL the way through the night.
55. I've been told MANY times that Trace and I are a lot alike. Our personalities mesh well, but we are different in a LOT of areas.
56. I wear hard contacts. Not very comfortable...but they give my blind eyes amazing vision.
57. Someday I want to decorate my own house. I dream of having a "magazine house" someday. I clip out pictures and save them for ideas. Someday....Magazine house + a small town = PERFECT.
58. I've never been to the East coast. The farthest east I've been is West Texas. I know...I'm very well traveled.
59. Someday I will travel the world...or at least go to the East coast.
60. I created a Holiday in our High School. It was called "National T-shirt Day." You see, how it worked was that you got the UGLIEST shirt you could find and wear it to school. Seriously, I'm talking UGLY. I once wore a shirt that had a pig frying bacon on it and it said "Pigly Wigly's BBQ". I also wore a shirt that had lights in it...real glowing lights. Some other girls tried to claim that they started the day, but um no...it was all me.
61. I am very forgetful at times...and this drives Trace completely crazy.
62. I have a habit of throwing away important papers. I think I got this one from my mom cause she would throw any sticky note, piece of paper, notepad paper, or ANY other type of paper away if it was left on the bar for more than a day. The only way I wouldn't get thrown away is if you wrote, "IMPORTANT...DON'T THROW AWAY!"...and even then it was still in jeopardy after 2 days.
63. I've bitten my fingernails since I was in first grade. I saw one of my friends doing it and I thought, "Oh wow...cool!" My mom tried to put this skunk fuem tasting polish on my nails to try to get me to stop, but I would just pick it off and then keep on biting. Haven't stop since.
64. I bite my nails the worst when I'm playing a game or when I'm watching a game. It may be a nervous thing.
65. I've never ran my car out of gas.
66. However, my dad did at about 2:00 in the morning on our way to Texas...after he just got done taking 2 or 3 No-Doz pills. We made it to a gas station, which opened for service at 6:00 am. He spent most of the night walking circles around the place and jumping on the service bell. I'm surprised he didn't get shot by the owner.
67. I love drinking water. It delicious to the taste.
68. I want to own a boat someday and go to the lake weekly with all my family and friends. The more the merrier.
69. That's what she said.
70. I love Brody's laugh and I love it when he gets excited to see me.
71. I think Brody inherited Trace's laugh cause I love Trace's laugh a lot too. Especially his "rocking laugh."
72. One of my favorite childhood memories is going camping with the WHOLE Reidhead clan at Brown Creek. We used to build the coolest forts EVER. A-mazing. I could be a fort architect.
73. I had 3 lambs growing up and was a proud contestant in 4-H. Buddy, Lambert, and Lamb Chops. They were good compadres. I had Buddy trained. If I would whistle from our back porch in Vernon...he would come bouncing towards me.
74. I lived in Vernon Arizona. Population= 13 1/2.
75. My dad almost cut my finger off. We were getting my lamb ready for the Navajo County Fair and when LambChops jumped, I grabbed him and my fingers landed on the newly sharpened sheers. Not a pretty site.
76. I like to play practical jokes on people.
77. Everyonce in a while I'll dress up like Richard Simmons and dance around the house.
78. Did I just say that?
79. I once sunk a tractor in like 6 feet of mud/clay. It wasn't a good day on the farm.
80. I once broke out the back window on a tractor. I then spent the rest of the day fighting dust allergins, flying rocks, and MONTROUS mosquitos. It wasn't a good day either.
81. I once bailed 3 or 4 rows of Hay without having any twine in the bailer....NOT so smart.
82. I can rap the song "SHOOP" by Salt n Peppa word for word. Along with "Ice, Ice Baby" and "Baby Got Back." I dare you to dare me to do it.
83. I don't really like to wear shoes. I love flip-flops. I've been known to wear flip-flops in a snow storm.
84. I take a multi-vitamin everyday.
85. I love going to Mexico. Its fun and carefree. Plus it makes you realize how cool the USA is when you get back. We used to go during Spring Break when I was little. I loved it there.
89. I'm proud to be an American.
90. I love country music. Old and new.
91. I love going elk bugaling and trying to get as close to the elk as possible without totally freaking out.
92. I used to really enjoy going out to the farm and shooting those darn jack rabbits. That was actually one of our (me and Trace's) first dates.
93. I really admire how hard of a worker that Trace is. He goes to school from 7-12, does wood work from 12-4, comes home for an hour and eats dinner, and then goes to UPS from 5:25 till 10:30. One day he'll only have to work one job and it will be WONDERFUL!!
94. I like to save money...but at the same time- if I want something, I want to buy it...no questions asked. (Trace asks a LOT of questions...ha ha.)
95. Oh and I would love it if my house was a constant 70 degrees.
96. I love being a member of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter Day Saints.
97. I have a really weird discoloration on my front tooth. I've had it ever since I can remember. Maybe one day a family dentist will fix it for me....hint, hint!
98. I hope all my kids turn out as cool as me! :) j/k.
99. 99 bottles of be...coke on the wall.
100. I love my life and I have no regrets.

I'M DONE!! I did it. Holy cow. That took FOREVER! Sorry to all those who actually read it.
