A couple of years ago, there was this silly little “25 Things About Me” thing going around on Facebook. Well, eventually I succumbed to the pressure and joined in making my list.
I found the list recently, and it hit me that it might be fun to share with you, my readers, to give you a better picture of who I am.
I have eliminated a few things so as not to bore you…and because a few of the items no longer apply since I wrote it almost two years ago.
So without further adieu…all you ever wanted to know about me and more!
- I have been to South Korea, North Korea, Portugal, Spain, France, Switzerland, Hawaii (that’s a foreign country in my eyes!), Australia, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand, Singapore, St. Thomas, St. Maarten, the Bahamas, and Mexico and Canada, of course. My favorite was Australia. I would still like to go to Africa one day.
- I had a variety of jobs while in college including: a Friendly’s waitress, a telemarketer, a foam hanger packer, and an RA.
- I could eat Frosted Mini Wheats for breakfast every morning.
- If I could get away with it, I would also serve Frosted Mini Wheats for dinner. I am not a big fan of cooking. I am, however, a big fan of E-Mealz.
- If I could be anything when I grow up, I would have a hard time choosing between a television talk show host and a star on a sit-com.
- My husband and I dated for four months and were engaged for four months. That would be 8 months total.
- One of the qualities I admire the most is the ability to communicate well while thinking on one’s feet. I would love to be able to do that better.
- Two of my goals in life are to go on another cruise and to learn how to raise one eyebrow.
- The highest compliment that you can pay me is to tell me that I am funny.
- I love coffee. Particularly Dunkin Donuts French Vanilla coffee. With Cream and Sugar. Please.
- I am a dreamer, by nature. There are days this is good. And there are days it it not.
- I love that both of my boys have blue eyes although no one in my immediate family does. Thank you, Grandpa Hill and the Ehret family.
- I have run a half-marathon in NYC. I hope to do so again and finish with a better time. Someday.
- I was in the Scripps Howard National Spelling Bee in Washington, DC in 1990 (which is why I was so embarrassed when I wrote a post the other day about “Cheep Green Giant Veggies”).
- I am fascinated by people and learning what makes them tick.
- Becoming a mom has taught me so much, but possibly the most important is to work hard to live in the moment.
- I hate shopping. (Kind of ironic, huh?)
- I am the third of six children and a classic middle child: peacemaker, independent, easy-going and still craving the spotlight that I seemed to have missed.
- I am most happy when I am with my family. But I absolutely love to be alone as well.
- I love Jesus more than I can say and strive daily to be more like Him.
How about you? I’d love to know a few fun and random things about my readers as well!

Have you been to Seoul, Korea? If yes, if you had to tell someone what do do in Seoul if they only had about 5 hours there…any suggestions!? 🙂 We’re on a LONG layover there & want to explore a bit. 🙂
And thanks for all the great tips & deals…I’m loving it!

Oh that’s funny, Jill! I LIVED in Seoul, Korea for 2 1/2 years. The only problem is that they built a new airport right before I left, so I’m not sure what is around there.
Are you able to leave the airport? What I can tell you is if you see a truck selling Hoddeok, make sure to try some! (Sweet pancakes) I miss them! And if you see a truck selling “Bundigee” (sp?), I wouldn’t recommend it. (Silkworm!)
Have FUN and take lots of pics!
Jill says
Wow! Fancy that! Were you in the military? It just seems that the reason people live there (if they’re not from there that is. hehehe…) Yes, we can leave the airport…I’ve scheduled 4 hours for traveling from/to the airport & will have about 5-6 hours in Seoul…but I have no idea what I should make sure to see. I’ve looked at books, but they’re a little overwhelming…I will definitly try the sweet pancakes & NOT the worm! Hehehe…:)

Thanks for sharing with us Kaley! I love these quizzes because you learn so much about people. And I don’t think it’s ironic that you don’t like shopping. I don’t either . . . that’s why these kind of sites are so great. All the hard work of shopping is done for you and you can save your money on things you want to spend it on, like a cruise!
Kelley says
Haha! Thanks for sharing. I too am a middle child. I use it as an excuse for many things 🙂

Love it! Great idea to share this with us. I’m a DD coffee nut myself, but prefer French Vanilla with Skim milk and sugar. Yummo! And, I’m jealous that you’ve been to Indonesia. My mother is half Indonesian, but neither of us have been there. But I make a killer Nasi Goreng and Lumpia!
🙂 Thanks for Sharing!

I was only there for a day, but loved it. If you ever get a chance, GO!
