My blogging buddy, Debra, over at Clothed With Scarlet tagged me to complete this list. Oh, boy, did this take some thought, but here's what I came up with.
15 Things I'm Not Afraid to Admit:
1. I absolutely hate roller coasters! I can't stand the feeling of not being in control.
2. I am, and will always be, a country girl.
3. Cockroaches disgust me to no end!
4. I enjoy ironing...yes, you heard me correctly!
5. Even though I have a Master's degree in speech-language pathology, being a stay-at-home mom has been my "dream job" for the past 16 1/2 years. No regrets whatsoever!
6. I'm only 5 ft. tall. I'll never forget when I was a room mom for Abby's class a few years back. One of her little classmates came over to me and asked, "Are you a midget?" I about fell over with laughter! As my husband always says, "You can't make Great Danes out of dachshunds."
7. I used to sunbathe with a mixture of baby oil and iodine when I was a teenager. What was I thinking???
8. I was baptized in a creek in Arkansas at the age of 15 by my best friend's dad who was a minister.
9. One of my boyfriends in college stalked me for awhile after I broke up with him.
10. I swam with stingrays in the Cayman Islands...and hated every second of it! They were everywhere!! Really creeped me out!
11. I have a deep desire to learn to play the drums.
12. I have Pat Boone's autograph...very impressive, I know! :)
13. I fractured my foot when I was a high school cheerleader. I was coming down off a pyramid and stepped on my friend's heel and it snapped (my foot, that is!). I was in a cast and on crutches for about 2 months.
14. I've won several 5 K's for my age group.
15. I enjoy being alone.
OK, so now I'm supposed to tag other fellow bloggers, but I'm going to leave that up to you. If you want to play along, just consider yourself tagged! Have fun!!

Sorry about the giveaway....I wish everyone could be a winner!
HATE to iron!!! Love the Pat Boone Autograph!!!
I loved this post! It is so fun to learn about you. My Granny loves to iron too. I'll never understand. LOL! Ang
Bryan and I want to swim with stingrays really really really bad! Maybe someday we'll get to. Thanks for letting us get to know you better!
Good Morning!
I enjoyed reading this. Okay, we have #1 and #9 in common. We almost had #10 too. Dirk and the girls have swam with stingrays. I stayed in the boat and watched and of course took pictures of it. lol
This was a great list. I always look forward to knowing more about ya.
Happy Tuesday!
I just left you a little sumpin, sumpin over at my blog. :) Ang
Great list!! I hear ya on the sting rays! I would feel totally out of my element! You are brave to have done that though! Oh, and I'm with you on #15. I love being in the house when it's quiet and there is no one to ask me for anything!!
I knew we were kindred spirts..I HATE ironing..I tell my kids not to use the word "hate" but this is the only word that can be used when talking about an Iron!

Thanks so much for stopping by my blog! You have a great family and a real talent for writing. And that creek baptism.. very cool! We have a creek in the back of our house (just about dry right now.. it is part of Allatoona Creek), and my son says that's where he wants to be baptized when it's time! Blessings on the week...
That was fun learning more about you. I would look like an amazon next to you because I am 5'9 1/2"! I too enjoy being alone but I gotta say I HATE to iron....lol
I saw that tutorial on a blog (must have been yours) about the lights in the glass blocks and I WILL be trying that this year...I am ALL ABOUT things that light up...I think it is a sickness!
I can't believe the child thought you were a midget!
Way to go winning the 5 K's! I am Super impressed : )!
I haven't ironed one thing since I got married. If we need something "pressed" I put it in the dryer for 2 minutes. Is that wierd?
Hey there, April!! I come over for a visit and this is the first post I see- you rock!!
The 5k's, the Pat Boone autograph, drummer wannabe...*sigh*... my hero!
I can't handle roller coasters either... I do not enjoy seeing my boring life flash before my eyes ove and over! LOL
BTW, I keep forgetting to mention that I think I have heard of your nephew! How cool to have a family member that rodeos!!! I'm lovin' me a good rodeo!
Did you go on a Carnival Cruise and then go off at port and swim with the Sting rays in the Cayman Islands? I ask because my husband and I swam with the Stingrays in the Cayman Islands too (but I loved every minute of it) :)
We swam with the dolphins also~♥
I enjoy being alone too!
What a fun list...it was nice to get to know you. And I enjoyed your previous posts - especially your home tour. What a beautiful home you have...
I found your blog through Daphine - I will be back. Happy Tuesday!

I'm a country girl too. I'm only 5'2" so I wouldn't tower over you much.
Oh My Goodness April--I am also a speech pathologist who worked for several years and then had the great joy of being a stay-at-home mom for many years! It sure is a small world isn't it?
Hi April
I enjoyed getting to know you better through this fun post. So you love ironing? Will you do mine? I hate rollercoasters too. I wouldn't go on if you paid me!!! I am not tall either,I am only 5'2". My daughter is nearly taller than me at 12.
Best Wishes
Lindsay
I'm with you on no. 3... EEEEEEEEW!
hi! i came across your blog from visiting on Daphine's page. I love the pictures of your home! How gorgeous. Anyway, just wanted to say hi. I love the 15 things you aren't afraid to say.. I think I may do that one myself!
April,
I love your list....ready?
I love to iron!!! I find laundry therapeutic. Crazy huh.
Hate cockroaches.
I was a cheerleader..broke my wrist trying to show another girl how to do a drop salute and hit the flagpole...ouch!
Thanks for doing the list ... ((hugs)) to you tonight!
Oh my gosh. I loved reading all of that about you, and I could relate to so much of it..(except the ironing part. eww.)
I used to mix the baby oil and iodine too lol, AND lay out ON THE ROOF! ha. Isn't that funny. My mother used to hate that.
I found your blog through The Fraker Farm. It's been a treat to look back through your posts. Your home is lovely and so are your daughters. I live in Georgia also and only recently started a blog. I look forward to visiting you again.
It was fun learning about you.
