Although Justin Bieber* would tell me differently...

 As part of a month long challenge to blog daily, I am joining some honest, funny, and real women in #reverbbroads11. Day 6: List 10 things you would never do. 

In no particular order, and with varying levels of seriousness, I present my list of 10 things I will NEVER do.

10. Be in Guinness Book of World Records for longest fingernails. (It's too gross to even post a picture!)
9. Swim the English Channel. (It is cold and I'm not that great a swimmer!)
8.  Get any additional piercings. (One hole in each ear is plenty for me.)
7. Participate in a casino heist a la Ocean's Eleven. (That is one good looking group of people, though!)
6. Run for political office. People are mean and will look for every reason to smear you. I'm not thick-skinned enough to handle that.
5. Stand in line for midnight madness or early-bird specials on Black Friday. I can't think of anything that I would want that badly to forgo sleep over.
4. Become a crazy cat lady. Enough said.
3. Be ungrateful for my health. There are so many people who are dealing with outrageous medical bills, terminal diagnoses, and daily pain.
2. Stop being thankful for my loving husband. He is my best friend. He is loyal, hilarious, creative, and my perfect other half.

1. Take my family for granted. I would not trade these 90+ people for anything! It is amazing that we can all get together and have so much fun together. I am blessed that I have so many great relatives who have become friends over the years. (Video courtesy of my dad from our Winter 2009 family gathering at Virgina Beach, VA.)



*lame nod to "Never Say Never" by the Biebs. Add that to my list: I will never see that movie!

Thankful month

I have gotten out of the habit of posting recently, partially because of how busy work is and the fact that I have been just coming home and crashing in front of the tv most nights. So I am going to try to post a short post everyday giving thanks for something in my life. Who says you can only be thankful at Thanksgiving? I say let's try it for the whole month.

Today, I am thankful for my husband. Not only is he my best friend, but he has stood by my side faithfully over the past few years. I moved him away from friends and family, and he has had a difficult time finding jobs down here (where he isn't working 60 hours per week). He makes me laugh and I am sure that won't ever change. While our lives could have taken us in a variety of ways, I am glad our paths crossed and became entwined. I love you a lot, Jared.
