| 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. |
