11 Random Things about Me:

  1. I brag to my husband when I “liberate” a prize winner.  Even before we were married.  He apparently thinks me dragging him into the bathroom to look is cool, cause he married me.
  2. I floss because my dental hygienist is a marathoner.  We chat about races and it embarrasses me that I have the will power to train/run 26.2 miles but not to spend 5 minutes flossing.  So now I do.
  3. When I was a baby, my sister thought my umbilical cord stump was dried poop and knocked it off because she thought it looked gross.
  4. Random people off the street see the picture of my niece on my desk and ask if she’s my daughter because she looks so much like me.
  5. They don’t ask the same about her brother (who is in the pictures with her).
  6. My sister teaches middle school and her students follow me on Facebook and Twitter.  (Yikes!)
  7. I’m leaving my chipped nail polish on not because I’m too lazy to remove it, but because I think it looks cool.
  8. I sometimes vacuum my sheets.
  9. I love orange juice.
  10. I’m addicted to Ramen.
  11. I don’t like the book of Jeremiah – despite the fact that one of my favorite Bible verses is in Jeremiah.

Questions I was tagged with:

  1. Do you lie about your weight on your driver’s license?
    I don’t think they asked me.  *Runs to look* Nope, not on there! (Gotta love the State of Tennessee)  Although I didn’t speak up when given the eye test to tell them I was wearing contact lenses (they didn’t ask either), so I don’t have a corrective lenses stipulation on there.  Don’t worry – I don’t want to crash my car, which is what would be sure to happen if I didn’t wear them.  Always wear my contacts.
  2. What is your favorite quote/saying?
    “Happiness is truly possible – even with a bottom the size of 2 bowling balls.”  Bridget Jones
  3. Where is the best place you’ve ever traveled?
    Ireland, although we tried to fit too much into to small of a time period.  And the people were so difficult to understand!!
  4. Do you put your dirty dishes in the dishwasher as they become dirty, or do you pile them in the sink a mile high?
    I rinse then put them in the dishwasher as I go.  Although I do let the stuff that has to be hand washed (non-stick cookware and the like) pile mile high.
  5. Name your all-time favorite blog.
    That’s an unfair question!!  But I suppose I’ll say The Sisterhood of the Shrinking Jeans – because of all the great women I’ve met there!
  6. Are you more like your mother or your father?
    Personality-wise I’m very much like my father (although he swears the family temper looks worse on a woman), although I very similar to my mother.  And we have been told that even our mannerisms are similar.
  7. What time period in your life has been your favorite so far?
    This one!!! With each year I’m growing as a person and starting to find the confidence to believe I really can do what I set my mind to!
  8. Share one of your long-term goals.
    For Jay and I to have a million dollar net worth by the time I turn 40.
  9. And a short-term goal.
    Covenant Health Knoxville Marathon!!!
  10. Can you shoot a gun?
    Not well.  Well it depends.  I shot Big Chad’s* scope rifle from hundreds of feet away and hit the target, but a hand gun?  I suck.
    *Not to be confused with Jay’s other cousin, Little Chad.  Brother to Big Chad.  Yes, they are from West Virginia.  And okay they are step-brothers.  But it’s so much fun to leave that part out when telling the story!!
  11. Do you consider yourself judgmental?
    Incredibly!  I hate it and am working on it.  But yes, yes, a million times yes.

 

My Questions for you:

  1. Do you keep your nails painted?  Toes?
  2. Do you budget?  Explain.
  3. Which do you like better – Twitter, Facebook, or blogging?
  4. What’s the strangest dream you’ve ever had (and remembered of course)?  I’m not talking goals, I’m talking about the crazy movies you see in your head when you sleep at night.
  5. Who was your childhood hero?
  6. Do you still look up to that person?  Why/not?
  7. Do you have a song that describes your life?
  8. If you had to choose 1 item of clothing to wear every day for the rest of your life, what would it be?
  9. 1 food item?
  10. How do you feel about tooting (my grandmother fussed on me for writing “fart” on my Facebook wall) in front of your significant other?
  11. What’s in your coffee?
