30 Days of Pictures - Day 1

I totally lifted this idea from a few of my favorite blogs (Namely, Fat Angry Blog and Crazy little thing called LIFE). In 30 days you'll see 30 of my pictures that give you a glimpse of who I am. I know you'll enjoy it because I'm awesome (HA!)

30 Days of Pictures

Day one - A photo of yourself, and 15 facts.

This photo was taken this past spring, with my oldest daughter. We had gone to YMCA Healthy Kids day. It's one of my favorites of the 2 of us.

15 Facts About Colleen

1) When my hands are cold, my thumbs stay warm.
2) I count steps mentally when I go up or down them
3) When I was 5 I shut my hand in a car door. The fingernail on my middle finger has been funky ever since.
4) I completely suck at making (and keeping) friends
5) Conversation with strangers terrifies me
6) The one thing I can admit to being good at without becoming embarrassed is being a good mother.
7) I wear Christmas themed socks year round.
8) My secret wish is to have arms thin enough to feel comfortable in sleeveless shirts
9) There's a place in my basement I will never step foot in. And I can never be in the basement in the dark. It's just too creepy.
10) I met my husband in an online chat room for hockey fans
11) I quit college to move 800 miles away from home to be with him
12) It was the best decision I've ever made
13) I miss my father more with every passing day. He's been gone for 9 years.
14) There's not a day that goes by that I don't think about my father, and the baby I lost several months ago.
15) I've got more determination this time around because I know my oldest daughter (pictured above) is watching me.
