Sunday Stealing 3/1

I found another meme site. This one is called Sunday Stealing and posts a new meme every Sunday. Maybe I'll just start doing an all-meme blog. That'd be so easy.

1. What is your favorite sit-down restaurant? Hmmmm... Olive Garden?

2. What food could you eat for 2 weeks straight and not get sick of it? I don't think such a food exists. My husband could eat the same meal every night for dinner and never get tired of it. He almost always orders the same thing he ordered before when we go to restaurants. I can't do that. That's boring. I like to change it up and try new things. I'm pretty sure I'd get sick of eating the same thing after 3 days, much less two weeks.

3. Have you ever had anything removed from your body? An ovary, a fallopian tube, some scar tissue from my upper lip and 2 children (via c-section at different times). The other 2 kids were pushed out and thus not technically removed from me by anyone.

4. What is the last heavy item you lifted? Lillian, last night, because she wanted me to carry her to bed.

5. Have you ever been knocked unconscious? No, but I have fainted. Once.

6. If it were possible, would you want to know the day you were going to die? No. I prefer to live my life as if I could drop dead at any second. It's more fun that way.

7. If you could change your name, what would you change it to? I love my middle name, which is Allyson. I always wished my parents had called me by both names. Beth Allyson. Sounds so pretty. I regret not passing the name on to one of my girls, but maybe they'll use it when they have children.

8. What’s your goal for the year? To act justly and to love mercy and to walk humbly with my God. (Micah 6:8)

9. Last person you hugged? I think that was Aiden, last night.

10. First place you went this morning? To the bathroom.

11. Do you always answer your phone? No. It's not always a convenient time to talk.

12. It’s four in the morning and you get a text message, who is it? No one I know, because I don't text. My phone will do it, but I don't have a text plan to pay for them, so I don't do it. Talking is much easier than texting. I think texting is silly.

13. If you could change your eye color what would it be? I've always thought blue eyes would be nice, but I like my green eyes, too. My husband and children all have blue eyes, so I'm the odd person in the family.

14. What’s on your wish list for your birthday? I just had a birthday, so I don't know what I'd ask for for next year. Probably not to be sick like I was this year. That sucked lemons.

15. Does the future make you more nervous or excited? Excited, because I know God is in control and whatever He has for me will be good for me in the long run.

16. Do you have any saved texts? See #12.

17. Ever been in a car wreck? No, thank goodness. I've been side swiped and had my bumper tapped while I was waiting to turn, but neither of those I would consider to be official wrecks.

18. Do you have an accent? I grew up in Alabama and have lived in South Carolina since 1996. While my accent is not as strong as it was when I was in the heart of Dixie, it's still there. I like it. It makes me unique. I just wish people didn't automatically assume I'm stupid because I have a Southern accent.

19. What was the last song to make you cry? Jesus Paid It All by Kristian Stanfill. It's a song we sing in church and it makes me cry every time we sing it, especially this line: "Oh praise the one who paid my debt and raised my life up from the dead!" Gives me shivers.

20. What did you do last night? Went to our usual Saturday night dinner spot, El Jalisco, then church. I love Saturday nights at Grace!

21. Have you ever felt like you hit rock bottom? Sure. A couple of times. But there's only one way to go from rock bottom, and that's up. God is good.

22. Current hate right now? Hate is such a strong word. I can't say there's a lot of hate in my heart for anything or anyone, but there are things that upset me. Tailgaters. People who yak on their cell phones and make careless driving mistakes because they're not paying attention. SC Congressman James Clyburn (GIVE.ME.A.BREAK!)

23. Met someone who changed your life? Jesus Christ.

24. How did you bring in the New Year? We made the mistake of letting the children stay up until midnight (afternoon naps were a must). It was the longest night of my life. Something we won't do again soon, but it was kind of (a teeny, tiny bit) fun being with my beloved family as we rung in a new year.

25. What song represents you? Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound, that saved a wretch like me.
