My friend Debi did this post sometime back, and I thought it looked fun (if not a bit incriminating).
1. Sometimes when I get the mail if there are things that I don't care about (junk mail, etc.) I just leave them in the mailbox. For days on end. I will randomly pick things I want or need out, and leave the junk and items I'm not interested in. Sometimes I even open a piece of mail and then put it back in our box. My mailman must think I'm nuts. Heck, it's probably some sort of federal offense...
2. OCD. Have I mentioned my OCD?
3. I cannot stand the feeling of socks made from synthetics against my feet. If I am wearing dress socks, I have to wear a pair of 100% cotton/athletic style ones under them.
4. I love to read, but go in spurts. I will devour multiple books at once, and then hit a dry period and not make much progress on anything at all for a time.
5. I really do despise winter. A lot. That period from New Years to Valentines is particularly torturous. And then once March hits I'm ready for Spring but it really never seems to come until April in these parts. Blurgh.
6. I still rock my almost two-year-old to sleep every night and every nap. I'm sure he'll grow out of this sometime. Right? In the meantime, I try to savor the moments.
7. I have sworn off super glue after an incident involving a toy stroller, super glue, acetone, fingers and the bathroom sink. It wasn't pretty, folks.
8. I am a homebody. I have never been a super-huge fan of traveling, and now that we have (young) children the thought of a big family trip almost sends me into hysterics. We take one or two day/potentially overnight trips a year and that. is. enough. It helps that my husband's job just isn't conducive to traveling. But even if it were, and we had all the funds in the world at our disposal, I think I'd choose to stay home. But I do want to go back to Cabo or somewhere beach and resort-ish someday. Maybe when the kids are grown. ;-D
9. I am so in love with my Catholic Faith. However, I often wish there were an Eastern Rite Catholic Church (under the "Papal Umbrella" and in-line with Rome of course) around where we live. I think I'd feel much more at home with that style of worship.
10. I have been pregnant at Christmas-time every odd-numbered year since getting married (back in 2006).
Happy New Year, everyone. May your 2012 be as exciting as ours promises to be!!!

I would LOVE to hear the story behind #7 sometime
So what does #10 mean??
Fun list! I like the subtlety of #10 (assuming I'm correct in what I think that means!). If so, then congratulations!
I also like #10 :) And your sock thing made me laugh!
Okay, I had all kinds of comments... and then there was number 10 and I just had to say... YAY! Congratulations!!
And... #2, 8 & 9... we are so alike in those ways :). (The reading one, too, I tend to fall behind on reading when there is just so much to do otherwise.)
WOW!!!! Congrats!! How wonderful!!
On the sock thing, I used to always tuck in the toe part of the sock when putting on my shoes, because the seam bothered me. I outgrew that...or maybe my laziness has overtaken my OCD.
I am right there with you on #2, #5, and #6! And congrats on the pregnancy (right?!). I've been pregnant the past 3 of the most recent odd numbered years too ;) Always nearing the end of the pregnancy too. The "nesting" and OCD combination is not a good one for me! Tonight, I've decided I need to completely redecorate my basement :) Anyway, CONGRATS again!
Yay! Congratulations on #10 (um, not child #10, fact #10)
We have discussed this before, but yes to #5, yes, yes, yes. Oddly, I found january and february to be less bad in ID, mainly because the snow was just so pretty. However, it made march and april worse. And spring didn't really come until May there which was "fun".
RE #6. I had to hold Liam for all of his nap until he was about 2 and then had to lay down with him to get him to sleep for a while. Then 2 months after he turned 3, he just started doing it himself, I was weird, but nice.
Congrats on the new little one! That is SO exciting!!! And I love #6. Sometimes I wish Gianna would let me rock her to sleep again, just for the cuddles. But only sometimes :)
Congrats on being pregnant at Christmas - again, I assume! :) I'm so excited for you!
I love this! I despise winter, too. Thankfully this year the cold really just hit us so hopefully it will go fast! And congrats! I had to do a little math (and I'm not great at math) to figure out your subtle message! :) Thanks for sharing!
Slowly catching up on your blog :)
Re: #9, you may already be aware, but there is a Ukrainian Catholic mission that occasionally holds services in Wichita. Here's a link to their webpage: http://holyapostlesmission.wordpress.com/
