25 Random Things about me that you might not know.

Rules: Once you've been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. At the end, choose 25 people that you would like to email and find out more about them. It's fun and you'll be surprised at all the things you didn't know about them.

1. Despite the fact that I had to drive ten hours each way to college, I do not like to drive now... if at all possible, I make my friends (and my hubby) drive me around. :) I'm nice like that.

2. No one can ever accuse me of hoarding things because I love to get rid of stuff and am constantly throwing things away (or giving it away, whichever works). I like clean walls and less things to dust.

3. When I was in the fifth grade I pierced my own ears because my Mother didn't let me. I got an infection and my Mother made me wait until I was much older  to get them pierced by a "professional" (at Merle Norman, lol). When Jeff met me I had eight holes in my left ear and five in my right. Now I have one in each and am just fine with that.

4. It is a well-known secret that I want to get a tattoo, but I'm worried that the person will make a mistake and I might end up with a three-eyed elephant. One of these days I'll get one. I'll keep you posted.

5. A few years ago we got a "garden fungus" on the mulch in our yard. My husband said the remedy for removal was urine. So I peed in a jar for several months, pouring it over the mulch until one day I found out that he was kidding. Nice hon. Real nice. I rarely trust him these days unless I validate the information with the internet first. *smirk*

6. My graduating class had only 55 and my school was K-12. I have very good memories and am still friends with most of them today. I am happy about this.

7. My favorite food is Salmon.

8. Even though I am only (only!!) 37, I am covered with gray hairs. This? This I do not like. I pay a great deal to keep it at bay.

9. My favorite color is pink (altho this is common knowledge among my friends). The last four digits of my cell number spell out the word "Pink" (on purpose). I have had this number for eleven years. :)

10. I have a secret dream to be a baker and own a little shop in my town, selling fresh breads, pastries but most of all Cuppie Cakes to all of my friends.

11. I am allergic to latex but yet all of my jeweler's tools have latex handles. This presents problems on a daily basis but I try not to worry about it.

12. My first and only speeding ticket was when I was sixteen, going 37 in a 25 after leaving youth group. It scared me so much, that I never did it again. My friends give me grief over this and say I'm a granny driver (refer to #1 for more information on driving).

13. My other favorite food are Cup Cakes, Coconut to be exact.

14. In my town I am the County Cookie Manager, overseeing 30-plus troops who sell Girl Scout Cookies, although I am not a fan of Girl Scout cookies. lol

15. I tend to be a creature of habit, owning five pairs of the same Chico's jeans, and countless Life is Good T-shirts... I figure if it's comfortable, buy more of it and who cares if it looks like a uniform. Go for comfort.

16. Growing up, my parents would take me to New York to see Broadway plays. I have seen Cats five times. Most recently I've seen Wicked twice and loved every minute. :) I like people who sing at me. *wink*

17. We bought a trampoline last Spring and the first time I got on and jumped I wet myself. I never got on again.

18. Whenever I work I listen to audio books on my iPod. I am a huge fan of Vampire books but my favorite book EV-VER is The Pillars of The Earth. If you haven't read it, do.

19. Since I was a child, I have loved movies and my all-time favorite movie is You've Got Mail but if you ask me about Christmas movies, hand's down: ELF. (what's a Christmas Gram? I want one!)

20. I have been married almost 15 years (May 20th) and they have been the best years of my life. My husband is the sunshine on my face.

21. When we lived in Washington, D.C., the S.W.A.T. team surrounded our house to do a drug bust on the corner house. We moved to Versailles, Kentucky three months later.

22. In my junior year of High School I played Lucy in You're a Good Man Charlie Brown. Can you see it? LOL

23. I melt glass for a living and make beads. One of the things you use to design is something called FRIT. I have over 100 bottles of frit. I suppose it's an obsession.

24. In my upstairs hall closet I have two full shelves filled with scrapbooking supplies that I have yet to use. Someday I hope to find the time because I love to Scrap.

25. I have always wanted to visit Hogwarts.
