Helen Alissa (2)

and another sweat pea on the way I'm about ten weeks as of June 16th.

, and a super great group of friends. I adore my husband of 10 years (almost), and my mom is one of my best friends.

I paint a lot. I talk about painting a lot.

I take on more than I can chew, and then hate myself because I'm so busy, or I don't take on enough, and then get depressed because I'm lonely or bored. I figure the day before I die, when I'm old and gray, I"ll have figured out the balance.

My faith is super important to me. If you don't know Jesus, I'll be happy to introduce you. He's fun.

I'm a gay rights activist. I have a super group of homosexual friends.

My house is ALWAYS messy. ALWAYS. By the time I get one part of it cleaned up, another part is wrecked. I need a maid that works for good company and conversation. Know anyone interested? Give me a buzz. Seriously tho... a line out of "Cheaper by the dozen" something along the lines of "My home is for self expression, not good impression." I love that! And, since my mind is forever jumbled, cluttered, and unorganized... I choose to express that with my home. :)

I have a lot of family. A lot. I have 13 nieces and nephews from four different siblings, aunts and uncles like you wouldn't believe... and I can't name the cousins. I love it.

God, Family, Country, Friends. Period.

I want so many kids I go mad. "There was an old woman who lived in a shoe...."

I don't watch football. I don't watch sports period. Our family just isn't into it. If a conversation comes up about sports... I'm completely clueless.

I'm NEVER on time. Unless it's to face paint... and then I'm early.

I'm a billionaire... but I seem to have misplaced my wallet. Oops.

I want to name my next daughter Ivy... but my husband refuses to name a child after a plant.

I put things off until the last minute, and then I stress myself out trying to get it all done.

Some days I don't brush my hair. It's not that I choose not to, but more that I get busy and forget.

My husband's a nerd. That does it for me. :)

I'm horrible at meeting new people. Get to know me, and I'm fun... but I tend to be a real dork during that first conversation.

I doubt myself way too often, but every once in awhile I get cocky.

I love the words : uber, random, groovy, and lime

My favorite color is yellow. It's pretty.

I like music, but not enough to know who's who.

I like movies, but not enough to remember the titles.

I used to be eccentric, now I'm just weird.

I choose joy over blame.

God created everything.

Chocolate was the only thing He created on that seventh day.

I don't like being fat. But I like french fries more than exercise.

I'm just me.
