Tren did this on her blog and I thought how funny it was that we were so similar! I thought I'd share! She is in the regular type and I am in the all-caps.
1. Tattoos make me sad. I just don't understand why people get tattooed. It's like taking God's work of art and then putting graffiti on it. – I HAVE A TATTOO. I GOT IT WHEN I WAS A TEEN AND I STILL LIKE IT. I DON’T MIND TATTOOS AS LONG AS THEY ARE SMALL. HUGE ONES ARE RIDICULOUS. HAVING SAID THIS I WOULD BE APPROPRIATELY ANGRY IF MY CHILDREN GOT ONE B/COUR BODIES ARE TEMPLES.
2. I started drinking ice water a few weeks ago while visiting my sister-in-law, Alice. It was warm in her house, so I drank ice water to cool down, and now I'm still drinking it. Before now, I always preferred to drink water at room temperature. – I HATED TO DRINK WATER BEFORE I HAD MY KIDS- IT MADE ME NAUSEOUS. ROOM TEMP IS STILL MY FAV.
3. Hardly anyone reads my blog, and sometimes I feel sad about it. I tell myself that I write it for me, which is true, but it would make me happy if I felt like people (especially my family) were interested in my life and my children's lives. I love it when I get comments! NO ONE REALLY READS MINE EITHER! I LIKE COMMENTS, TOO.
4. I've never had a manicure or a pedicure. I HAD A PEDICURE ONCE, BUT I WAS TOO SELF-CONSCIOUS TO ENJOY IT. NAILS ARE NOT MY THING.
5. I don't like science-fiction. ME, EITHER.
6. I think root beer floats are amazing. Root beer is good. Vanilla ice cream is good. Put the two together and it's magical. GIVE ME THE ICE CREAM ANY DAY, BUT POP AND I HAVE BECOME SWORN ENEMIES – I WAS SLIGHTLY ADDICTED.

7. I don't like anything mystical or astrological. I USED TO BE INTO ALL OF THAT JAZZ AS A TROUBLED TEEN, BUT WHEN A PSYCIC TOLD ME TO BURN ROSE PETALS AND STREW THEM SOMETHING CLICKED IN ME THAT REALIZED THIS WAS NUTS!
8. I've considered being a foster parent. ME, TOO, BUT GOD KEEPS TELLING ME NO.
9. I miss Kaffree tea. When I was a child growing up in Kansas, we drank sun tea made with Kaffree tea, which was an herbal tea that tasted like tea. They don't make it anymore, but I found out it was rooibos tea, which can be purchased from Celestial Seasonings online. I'm going to have to look into that. I USED TO DRINK COFFEE AND THEN WHEN I JOINED THE LDS CURCH I GAVE IT UP. THEN I DRANK PERO… MY GASTRITIS DIDN’T LIKE IT. NOW I DRINK CELESTIAL SEASONINGS BENGAL SPICE. I LIKE THICK AND HEAVY DRINKS AND FOODS.
10. I don't like seeing labels on clothing. I'm okay with buying my kids name brands as long as they aren't plastered across the clothing. ME, TOO, BUT I GAVE UP ON THE AEROPOSTALE WHEN SOMEONE ELSE WAS BUYING IT. I REFUSE TO DO PINK OR ANYTHING ELSE TIED TO SEX OR UNDERWEAR.
11. I love aspen trees. I wish I could live in big home in the mountains with lots of aspen trees and a creek running nearby. ME, TOO! IT’S BEEN MY FANTASY LATELY…
12. I think dogs are gross. I barely tolerate the two I have, and when they're gone, I'll have no more. Ever. I’M NOT A DOG PERSON EITHER, BUT IF MY HUSBAND DIES I WILL GET A SAINT BERNARD TO KEEP ME COMPANY!
13. I eat eggs for breakfast almost every day because I'm diabetic and I need protein in the morning. It gets old. I USED TO EAT EGGS ALL THE TIME, TOO. NOW I AM ON AN OATMEAL KICK (WITH HOMEMADE WALNUT BUTTER). I LIKE MIGAS OR HUEVOS RANCEROS OR VEGGIE OMELETTES THE BEST. I AM A SAVORY GIRL.
14. I often eat a whole bag of sugar snap peas in one sitting. 100 calories of sweet, crunchy goodness. No guilt. I DON’T CARE FOR PEAS AS MUCH… I’D RATHER EAT A BAG OF SPINACH STEAMED WITH GARLIC, EVOO, SALT AND PEPPER… YUM.
15. I have a way with babies. They hardly ever cry when I hold them. I’M NOT A BABY PERSON. I’M NOT A KID PERSON. I LIKE MY BABIES AND MY KIDS, THOUGH.

20. I like my showers really hot. ME, TOO.
21. I love the rain, and enjoy watching lightning storms. I LOVE THE RAIN; I HATE BEING IN THUNDER AND LIGHTENING.
22. I think boxing and wrestling are pointless and stupid sports. THEY HAVE THEIR MERITS – DON’T WANT MY SON IN THEM, BUT WOULDN’T OBJECT IF HE DECIDED OTHERWISE.
23. I don't like guns, but believe in the right to bear arms. ME, TOO. I WANT MY HUSBAND TO BE ABLE TO BRING HOME THE BACON IF NECESSARY AND ME TO KEEP MY KIDS SAFE.
24. My favorite Jelly Belly flavors are juicy pear, buttered popcorn, and cantaloupe. ANY JELLY BELLY IS AMAZING!
25. I like keys--old, pretty ones--not regular ol' car or house keys. I LIKE KEYS, TOO.
26. I think people should embrace their natural hair color. I think streaky dye jobs look retarded. I’M EMBRACING BUT IMPATIENTLY. JUST GO ALL WHITE! NOW!
27. I can't choose a favorite flower. Poppies, ranunculus, pansies, and irises are some that I love. LILACS AND YELLOW/ORANGE ROSES.

34. My ears are pierced, but I very rarely wear earrings. ME, TOO… TOO MANY THINGS TO WORRY ABOUT
35. I long for friends, but don't feel like I really have any. I PRETEND TO BE SOCIAL WHEN I HAVE TO BE, BUT I AM A LONER… I AM A HOMEBODY AND NOT A VERY GOOD FRIEND. I’M PRETTY SELF-ABSORBED – NOT B/C I’M SO AWESOME, BUT B/C I’M CONSTANTLY TRYING TO “FIX” ME.
36. I do math in my head. I USED TO… I’VE LOST MY BRAIN SINCE WE BOUGHT THIS HOUSE... I’M TOO STRESSED I THINK.

38. I hate driving at night. YEP – AND ALL THE KIDS ACTIVIITIES ARE AT NIGHT!
39. I avoid left turns on busy streets and parallel parking. I WAS AMAZING AT THIS WHEN I LIVED IN THE CITY – NOW I AM A HICK WHO WILL PARK 6 BLOCKS AWAY TO AVOID PARALLEL PARKING!

41. One of my favorite features on my husband are his hands. MY HUSBAND IS HIS RED BEARD.
42. I hope none of my children ever join the military. AS A MOM, I AGREE… AS A CITIZEN, I WOULD BE PROUD TO BE SERVED BY THESE KIDDOS.
43. Turtlenecks make me claustrophobic. I CAN’T BREATHE WITH THEM EITHER, BUT I WILL SACRIFICE FOR A BLACK TURTLENECK WHEN I WANT TO LOOK FANTASTIC – IT MAKES ME LOOK TALLER!
44. I type fifty-something words per minute. I DON’T TYPE. I HUNT AND PECK BUT IT GOES QUITE FAST.

49. I love reading the scriptures, but don't make time for it nearly as much as I should. ME, TOO. I WANT TO BE A SCHOLAR.
50. I don't really "get" teenagers, but I sure do love my own. I UNDERSTAND OTHER PEOPLES’ TEENS – NOT MY OWN… THEY HAVE ME FOR A MOM – THINGS SHOULD BE GREAT FOR THEM… LOL
51. I think graham cracker bits in a shake ruin the shake. I LOVE TEXTURE IN MY FOOD.
52. My favorite burger is Big Burger World's small bacon cheeseburger with mayo instead of ketchup and mustard. It's what I order every time. MY FAV BURGER OF ALL TIME IN THE HUNTHER TOODY’S DAGWOOD – BURGER, FRIED EGG, TOMATO SLICES, MAYO…
