So a couple of weeks ago when I was visiting my fellow Thursday Thirteeners I saw a fun Thursday Thirteen over at Dance of Motherhood. She invited us to play along and to fill in our own answers. I saved her idea so that I could use it some Thursday when I couldn’t think of anything to do for my Thursday Thirteen (which by the way happens almost every week, so if you ever have any ideas I can use for my TT, please let me know).
I AM… a Christian, a wife, a mommy, a step-mom, a daughter, a daughter-in-law, a sister, a sister-in-law, a grand-daughter, a niece, a cousin and a friend.
I WANT… the best possible life for Brooke and Hailey.
I HAVE… everything I need and most of the things I want.
I WISH… I could be outgoing and be able to think of things to say to people I don’t know very well.
I HATE… being shy.
I FEAR… one of my loved ones getting sick.
I REGRET… not starting my Master’s Degree as soon as I finished my Bachelor’s degree.
I LOVE… my family.
I ALWAYS… worry about anything and everything. If I run out of real things to worry about I start worrying about all of the “what ifs.”
I AM NOT… perfect. Shocking, I know.
I DANCE… like nobody’s watching- because I make sure the only time I dance is when nobody is watching- except for Hailey, she likes my dancing.
I CRY… about movies, books, songs, etc. It doesn’t take much.
I SING… with such a lovely voice that I can’t figure out why American Idol hasn’t come knocking down my door 
Feel free to play along if you’d like. You don’t even have to do Thursday Thirteen, you can just use this some day when you don’t know what to blog about.
While you’re here, let me know what you think of my new blog, I’m moving off of my old blogspot Our Happy Happenings. So let me know how you like my new place. You can take my poll right over there on the right, and/or you can leave me a comment. Or not, you don’t have to.
And now go stop over at the Thursday Thirteen headquarters to visit the other participants.
