50 randoms

Stick with me...I'm a really interesting person...I did this on spacepage but this one will be better.


1.I have to pull out a odd number of paper towels in public bathrooms. Usually three or five.
2. My only 2 regrets are not going to college and breaking the heart of a good guy (if you're out there, guy-I hope some good came of it for you. I hope you found someone better for you.). Although hurting him led me to Christ...I guess that can't be a regret, huh?
3. I was NOT a person who napped until I had a baby.
4. I really enjoy round things...circles, people, polka dots
5. I don't think I am meant to have long hair.
6. My only real irrational fear is zombies.
7. My son has my eyes and my husband's eyelashes.
8. I have only ever traveled outside the country once.
9. High-strung, skinny people irritate me.
10. I am drawn to people that intimidate others.
11. I cannot be assertive. I go right to b*tchy.
12. Apparently I can pull off (at age 28) the same hairstyle I had at age 15. Take THAT, old ladies!!!!
13. I enjoy messing with people who are anal retentive. I am really NOT, so I enjoy chaos.
14. I married the perfect man for me.
15. I get really bad B.O. sometimes. I remember when I first started stinking. My mom and my sister made fun of me, and I was embarrassed and kept spraying Malibu Musk into my pits.
16. My dad said , "Althea's got hooters!" when my mom told him that we got me a training bra.
17. My parents really are rather loving people-they just have an odd way of showing it.
18. I get my sense of style from my dad.
19. I get my easy access to my emotions (and my writing chops) from my mom.
20. I wanted a divorce for my parents throughout my teen years. Then when they actually DID split up (I was an adult and living a couple states away) it was still really hard.
21. The only red lipstick I have ever liked on me is Chanel Fatale. Of course it had to be Chanel.
22. I love my friends like they are my family.
23. Sometimes I think I am crazy.
24. I have never once had a career.
25. I still don't know what I wanna be when I grow up.
26. The ladies in my small group are wonderful and I never want this study to end.
27. I really like Jewish food.
28. That being said, I want a bagel with cream cheese, homemade lox, sliced red onions and cucumbers for breakfast. Always.
29. Roasted veggies are the BEST.
30. Easter is my favorite holiday.
31. I will never be a vegetarian again.
32. I remember the first word I read and mispronounced. It was 'gee'. And Ernie said it to his rubber duckie in a book.
33. I REALLY want to learn to sew with cotton jersey.
34. I am no good at applying eye makeup.
35. I have worn glasses since third grade .
36. I read lots of crafty blogs instead of being crafty myself. But I'm working on that.
37. I consider myself a brave person.
38. I also consider myself a weak person.
39. We thought our second cat, Squishface, was a female until we took him to the vet. In retrospect we would have named him Mr. Pants.
40. I only got pregnancy stretch marks on the left side of my body.
41. Being told that I '...don't LOOK like a mom...' flatters me to no end. I never wanna be one of those frumpy, dumpy housewives. Oh, the temptation is there, don't get me wrong. Very frequently the only adult I see is my husband. But he asked me to not wear sweats every day, so I try not to.
42. I am a REALLY good speller.
43. I don't care to play video games. I have NO eye-hand co-ordination. NONE.
44. I won Best Actress in high school twice, for the only two plays I was ever in. I'd like to be in a play again someday.
45. My first Phish show and the resulting effects changed my life.
46. I know when to use 'effect' and 'affect'.
47. I just got my hair cut really short and I LOVE IT. I still feel feminine with this shorty short-short cut, and that's rare.
48. I cannot WAIT for yard sale season to begin.
49. I wish I could tell Stephanie Nielson how beautiful I think she is.
50. I wake up with random songs in my head.
51. I have champagne tastes and a beer pocketbook.
