Who Is that Kristen, anyway??

The traffic at Mama's So Called Life seems to have slowed down drastically in the past couple of weeks. Or at least the comments have. Maybe I am boring everyone with my talk of school, my complaints about the person I un-affectionately refer to as BM or my continued talk of American Idol, even though I vowed I would shut up about it after the show ended. Or maybe everyone is just busy and bored with the computer and spending time in the great outdoors with their children. If it is the latter, "Good for you", I say! That is the best thing to be doing. If it is any of the former suggestions, I am posting this in an effort to show more of who I really am when I'm not talking about what I usually talk about it. I will try to answer the question that I know has been burning everyone's brain since you first entered my blog. "Who is exactly is this person, Kristen?!" This is what I know of myself. Although, I haven't quite figured myself out completely.

WHO IS KRISTEN?!?!

1. I am the oldest of two children.
2. I am the big sister of Kevin.
3. I am my mother and father's daughter.
4. I am mother to Anakin, Care Bear and Feisty.
5. I am cousin to 19 people.
6. I am an admissions counselor in a major Colorado University.
7. My first job was at Little Caesar's Pizza.
8. I also have worked at KFC, TCBY, Swensen's Ice Cream, a doctor's office when I was in college, a property management company while I was in college, the Chemical Engineering department at this same University, and the Vice President's Office at this same University.
9. My first major was Business.
10. I changed it to Psychology.
11. I thought about doing Social Work.
12. I am now in Interior Design.
13. I had four serious (or at least I considered them serious) boyfriends before I met my husband.
14. My husband was the best friend of a guy I dated my senior year in high school.
15. I love scary movies.
16. I love scary books.
17. I love Days of Our Lives.
18. If I had one beverage to choose to drink for the rest of my life, it would hands down be Diet Dr. Pepper.
19. I could probably live on peanut butter if I had to.
20. I am a recovered anorexic.
21. I was in a treatment center in Arizona for four months for it 11 years ago.
22. I was going to become a therapist to help people with eating disorders, but changed my mind.
23. Occasionally, people still whisper in my mom's ear, "Is Kristen having eating problems again?!" To which I wish to go up to them, wipe the concerned look off their face and say, "Give me a freakin' break! I have a high metabolism! Wanna watch me stuff a 2 lb Chipotle burrito down my face in 10 minutes?! Cuz I can do it!!"
24. I do everything in my power to make sure I do not do anything to my girls that will ever make them feel as though they need to quit eating as a coping mechanism.
25. I try to be a good, Christian example to my children. I do my best, but admit that I am not perfect.
26. If I could look in the future and see everything that is ever going to happen to my children, I would take the bad stuff away, and give it to myself.
27. If I forget to kiss one of my kids goodbye before I leave for work while they are still sleeping, my whole day is messed up.
28. I am often one big giant ball of stress.
29. I love my family more than anything in the world.
30. I am a child of God.

So, in a nutshell, there I am. I left out a lot I'm sure, but like I said, I can't figure myself out half the time. I hope you feel like you know me better now!!

Have a super, fantastic weekend everyone!
