10 Things About Me

Here are a few factoids about me.

Please share your 10 in the comments section!

Thanks for reading!

10. I am obsessed with shopping.

But, I have not bought any clothes since December.

I have to wait until April 1st to purchase new clothes.

It really has not been too hard,

and I enjoy finding clothes in my closet that are "new to me."

But, I can still buy clothes for Bows!

Twenty outfits is not enough for one little Schnauzer!

9. My husband's name is Matthew.

My name is Sarah.

He has cousins named Sarah and Matthew, who are sister and brother.

It can be confusing at family gatherings.

Now Matthew's brother Mark is dating a nice women named Sarah.

We need to have a rule about names on the Jongeling side of the family.

(I also have a Sara(h) Twin, but that's for another post.)

8. I love to be a matchmaker!

I think it all started, because our friends Sara and Nick set up Matthew and me.

Since then, I have introduced Jennifer and Chris,

and Jon and Alex.

And, I have tried to set up my brother on numerous occassions.

He's still single ladies!

7. Before I met my husband, I had never taken a ride on a motorcycle.

It took a while to get used to, but it's fun.

My favorite thing is to ride the "loop" in Morningside.

Ahh...memories of high school.

6. I love to grow things.

I plant veggies and flowers and trees.

My favorite part of a summer day is going home from work to harvest my garden.

I plan to plant tomatoes, peppers, onions, cabbage, and lettuce this summer.

5. My mom inspires me to hold onto friendships.

My mom has been friends with Lauri and Dorane for over 40 years.

Every time we get together we have to take a "kid picture" with all of the kids.

I love taking these pictures and looking back to see how we change and grow.

4. I asked for a dog every year for Christmas and my birthday.
I never got a dog.
So, I was overjoyed when I adopted Bows from a former co-worker.
Funny thing was I had no idea how to train a dog,
so I might have created the most spoiled Schnauzer ever.
Whoops!

3. I am growing my hair out to donate it to Pantene Pro-V's cancer hair donation program.
When I was diagnosed with cancer I wanted to shave my head and donate my hair.
I let my hairstylist talk me out of it and I still regret it.
It was not fun finding hair everywhere!
And, my friends Jennifer, Steph, Betsy and Nellie all donated their hair.
So, I am thinking of cutting my hair like the style above.
What do you think?

2. I have no desire to fly anywhere outside of the U.S.
But, I do want to drive to Canada.
My husband and I keep a list of the states we have been to.
We plan to visit all 50 of them at some point in our lives.

1. I am lactose intolerant.
Most of the time it does not bother me.
But some days I just want to eat ice cream right out of the container.
My beef is that Blue Bunny does not have a lactose-free ice cream.
At least there is Breyers!
