Some things you should know about me if we're gonna be BFFs

BTW, Ashley over at Little Miss Momma started this...check it out.
* I used to have long blond hair...now it's long & brown (w/ grey strands)
* For some reason, last night I cut myself some heavy bangs...I got my period this morning :)
* I gained a record 85lbs with my twins - they're now 8 mos and I have a LONG way to go!
* I want one more baby...no more baby weight please!
* I'm a habitual dieter...the perpetual Yo-Yo.
* I'm usually late to everything. I use the twins as an excuse, but I hate being the first person there!
* I'm from So. Cal, but went to college in Wisconsin...I don't have a good reason why.
* I used to be a hard-core workaholic...
* ...blogging has become an obsession!
* I've had the same 4 best friends since 9th grade. I don't think they read this blog. What good friends!?!?
* I'm pretty spoiled.
* My kids drive me nuts...but are so funny sometimes.
* I married my 3rd serious boyfriend.
* I HATE confrontation - so I try to stay far away from drama.
* When I'm pregnant, I like to sew...after, not so much.
Some things I've realized since reading this:
* I like to use "..." A LOT! I have a lot running through my head and not enough time to stop and write complete thoughts...
* I'm often mistaken for someone else or am the person that "looks a lot like someone I know"...it used to be Marsha Brady
* I look a lot like my sister and my daughter looks a lot like me, does that mean Luci looks like my sister?
* I used to be a deadhead (I can't believe I'm telling the world that)
* I often eat cookies for breakfast.
Wow, this is kinda cathartic! I know I'll think of more...
XOXO

  5. I wish I could use my pregnancies as an excuse to why I'm overweight, no such luck there seeing as how I was way overweight before I was pregnant. Blogging is my new obsession too.

  8. Hey, I think I knew almost all of that. That's why I'm a BFF! I think I'm going to start being obsessed about blogging about diabetes now. There's always a niche somwhere! Oh, and thanks for being my number 1 and only follower! Such an honor.

  9. Ha! Those are some good ones. :) I think I knew a lot of those about you. Can't wait see your bangs! I've been wanting to cut some for ages but my hairdresser keeps talking me out of it due to the maintenance!

    Also, cookies for breakfast is, in my opinion, a totally acceptable lifestyle. :)

  13. Hi, thanks for stopping by my blog and commenting on my list. It's always nice to meet another "Kari" (don't find many folks with that spelling). Love your list, too. I'm with you on avoiding confrontation - I don't care for drama at all. By the way, my husband is an identical twin!

    Merry Christmas!

  15. I often eat cake for breakfast. I justify it by telling myself that it's made with eggs and milk right?!

  17. I also hate being the first person at places, but hate being late even more! Luckily, my darling daughter has taken care of that dilemma for me and now we are perpetually late! Great list!

  18. I hate confrontation, too. I have 7 siblings, so sometimes it's difficult to avoid. I also hate being the first person to show up anywhere!

  20. This is a fabulous list! I gained 40 pounds with Baby W--and thats only one kiddo and I am super short! I was a beast! I hate being late, but I get restless when I am the first person that arrives...I could go on forever about how many of these are could totally relate to! You ROCK!
