1. I despise a cloudy sky in the morning. Something about it screams, “are you CRAZY?? Get back in the bed!!”
2. I STILL haven’t taken all of my Christmas mantel down.
3. I have a party here tomorrow night, and today will be filled with much scrambling and straightening.
4. Maybe I’ll use it as an excuse to paint my hutch.
5. I’m not lazy lately. I’m just so focused on my health: eating all organic, counting my ounces of water, and lots of intense workouts…I almost have no other energy to do anything else.
6. It will be worth it.
7. I’m a perpetual list maker. I love lists.
8. It’s about time to take the all-organic, no processed business up with the rest of my family. At least in moderation.
9. Matt may move out.
10. Ha! That doesn’t even feel funny to joke about.
11. Ava broke the Barbie doll Gray gave her for Christmas this morning. Like, snapped both legs off-broke it. Grayson was way more upset than she was.
12. I bought “Books Make a Home” last weekend. A book about books is my cup of tea.
13. Speaking of tea, I’m still digging a cup of organic Earl Grey in the afternoon.
14. That makes me feel like I’m fancy.
15. Did you ever hear that song by Reba? Fancy??? Loved it when I was little girl…little did I know the plot is a little scandalous.
16. Instead of singing Adele today, I might just sing Fancy.
17. It was Matt’s birthday this last weekend. One of our friends, Parks, says he’s sending him a gold-glittered unitard.
18. I so wish he would.
19. I’m turning the big 3-0 next week. Yep.
20. I might break off the all-organic to have a piece of birthday cake.
21. White birthday cake is my favorite. Favorite anything. I’m convinced there will be white birthday cake in heaven.
22. I should probably move the 7 foot trampoline out of the house for tomorrow night. I kinda don’t feel like it, though.
23. I’m working on some new blog projects & I’m just DYING to share it all with you. Very soon, I hope.
24. I seriously do think I have carpel tunnel from using the computer so very much. Sometimes I’ll work a 10 hour day and get several posts written at once…beware of this. Carpel tunnel waits on the other side.
25. I couldn’t be more excited about Friday’s post.
Okay, let’s see some random-ness from you guys!! If you’ve written a 25 things post, link it on up! If not, don’t fret–go write some random write now. I can’t wait to get to know you guys a little better!
So with you on numbers 2, 7 & 13. And Fancy…still one of my all time favorite songs. I crank it in the car at least 3 times a week (sometimes multiple times) just so I can belt out every single word. I used to sing it to my kids when they were babies too (along with the Gambler & Coward of the County by Kenny Rogers) only because I knew all the words by heart. They seem to have turned out ok.
LOL! I LOVED Fancy!! Still do!! I didn’t realize she turned in a prostitute until like 2 years ago! I was devastated!! Just linked up! Thanks for hosting Shaunna!
Ohh you’re turning 30!? I turned 30 last month & everyone at work told me that the 30s are the best decade of your life. Not as unstable as your 20s but you still have a good amount of energy & hope & excitement! Lookin’ forward to it being waaay better than my 20s, which were totally the opposite of stable. Haha!
Oh & I posted the 3rd link! Check it out 🙂 I was feeling wordy.
I wish I could be fancy and drink tea but I hate the stuff. There are a lot of things I watch/listen to now that I realize what the true content is. Turning 30 was easy for me, 35 not so much. My hubby is turning 30 this May and I so want to make a Wipeout course in his parents huge backyard. I would pay you to post pics of Matt in a gold unitard. And last but not least, I love that you have a giant trampoline in your house, I would totally want to jump on it if I was your guest. 😉

Thanks for hosting…it was fun!
For the record, white birthday cake is my favorite, too (but I like brownies better). So, I think I’ll cook up some randomness tonight and link up.
Happy almost birthday. If it makes you feel better I will be 42 (argh) in two weeks. Not sure how that happened.
Thanks for hosting this fun party!
Thanks for hosting. Glad I found you through June and Bear!!
Love this linky party. Such a fun idea. And, I’m excited to see your upcoming projects, they are always so inspiring!
you are so young, girl! 30 is nothing! i am 33….. eons older!
this is so fun! i always love reading… i feel like it’s great insight into our blog friends!
is something wrong with the linky?
it won’t allow me to link up. 🙁 I linked back to here…not sure what the problem is…
here’s my post:
25 random things.
Oh Shoot! I have no idea why my post linked up twice. No doubt in my dorkness I pushed a button twice (like those people on an elevator that keep pushing the button as if that is going to make it go faster) or didn’t pay attention when it gave me a message telling me I was finished. Never put me in one of those cartoon cars with the huge red button that says, “Do NOT push” or you will undoubtedly be ejected from the vehicle. Anyway, sorry. Please delete one of my entries. Thanks. Lisa~
You’re a scream—and young enough to be my daughter, I just realized!
Anyway, a doctor’s vitamin prescription for the pain, numbness and waking up during the night for carpal tunnel: Vitamin B-100 three times a day. It works! But you really have to stick with it or it ill come back to haunt you again.
Hey, it beats drugs or surgery.
my boys got the 7 foot trampoline for Christmas… they love it!!
Meg
omg. i linked up five times i guess. sorry!
please delete my extras, 49-52.
thanks for hosting.
lol…
That was fun and made my afternoon at work completely turn around!!
This was SO, SO out of the box for me! But fun! 2012 is my year for getting out of the comfort zone. Thanks!
Yes, yes, yes to Fancy. And I pull the covers over my head on cloudy days. We have a trampoline on the screened porch. 31 was weirder for me than 30 – don’t know why? You better eat a piece of cake for your 30th b-day.
When you first posted 25 things a couple weeks ago…I wanted to do it too. But I didn’t want to copy you! Ha! So thanks for doin’ the link party!
xo,
Shannon
I used to sing ALL of the song Fancy when I was a little girl. Its funny looking back at it. Same with an old song called Ruby my dad used to sing. I can’t remember who origionally did it, but the band CAKE did a cover.
I’m 30, and proud of it. I wear my age like war wounds. lol
I love Fancy. It always annoys when they play it on the radio and cute one of the verses out.
30 is nothing. You are still a spring chicken (as my grandma would say)…i turned 36 a few months ago. Still trying to figure out where the years went.
Thanks so much for hosting…it was fun 🙂
What a wonderful link for a snowy Friday! I love it and I have so enjoyed going to all of the other links looking and reading all of these great thoughts.
Have a great weekend.
Elizabeth
Thank you for hosting this amazing party. I can’t stop reading all of the posts…so many are way too funny! It is amazing how you can see yourself in others…I kept wanting to go back and add more to my own post.
So much fun, thank you for hosting this lovely linky party. A nice thing to think about with the pretty snow falling outside my window. Di@cottage-wishes
great party! 🙂 thanks for hosting.
I still have my Christmas wreath on my fireplace. That would be great (for vt’s) if it were red, but it’s blue and white!
have a great weekend,
gail
Do a google search and I bet you find an organic/healthy birthday cake. Do a search of Tosco Reno and the Eat Clean Diet.
My first time joining you- been a long time since I’ve written a random list type post 🙂 I turned 30 this last fall- kinda got in my head too! And a 7-foot trampoline in the house makes a party! 🙂 Hope you have a great weekend!
How fun! I am new to blogging… just came across this link up party… and I linked!!! I love meeting new people. come meet me girls! =) And by the way, i still have a christmas tree up.. (its in my bedroom, but still)… =)
Just found your blog through Directions Not Included…love it! Great link-up party! I totally clean-up as people are showing up….no apologies here! Glad to be a new follower!
I joined the Linky party, sorry my first attempt does not link to anything. I am new to this, so tried again and my second attempt worked. 25 random things was not as hard as I thought it would be.
Have a great weekend.
That was fun! And, I just took all of our Christmas stuff down a week ago, even the tree & stockings 🙂
I totally have my mantle still adorned with Christmas decor! I did take down some of the items, but my red berry garland and snow covered branches are very Valentines/winter worthy! 🙂
I am your newest follower, and this is my first linky party, I would love it if you followed me back, Thank you,
Katrina
Is it weird that this is one of my favorite linky parties? Does that mean I’m conceited? Anyway, it was fun. 🙂
I love when I have functions at my house because it forces me to clean and straighten the house. I work better under pressure. Hope yall had a great time!
Hi Shaunna
I found you via Elizabeth @ Pine Cones and Acorns. Love your idea, I put a different twist on it and made it more challenging for myself. Next time, I intend to keep it simple! I don’t participate in Link parties very often. I loved joining yours… 🙂 Love your blog and that you share all these fun things about yourself.
Best wishes.. Jeanne xx
