25 Random Things About Me

This type of post has been running rampant on Facebook lately, but I have had no desire to post my own on Facebook for two reasons. One: everyone's doing it Two: I wanted to have the chance to really think about my life and about things that are different about me. That way the 25 things are random from each other but are also really thought through.

25 Random Things About Me
1. I cannot stand food that is supposed to be hot but rather is disgustingly cold.
2. I cannot live without lotion and chapstick.
3. I am more comfortable with my big toes being crossed over the little toes than having them uncrossed (even when walking). I do it without thinking and it will kill my feet one day.
4. I love to do things solely for my own amusement. For example, I want to get my Masters and PhD just so I could say, “Hey, I have these degrees and don’t do anything will them on purpose”.
5. I am addicted to Minesweeper, which is a totally useless game in which I can rarely win the hardest level. I'm still addicted.
6. I have a half white, half Mexican for a son and I NEVER thought he would look so much like me. Seriously.
7. I need my daily routines in life to keep me from chaos.
8. I CANNOT stand the sound of ice being chewed. It makes me cringe just thinking about it.
9. I am pretty decent at spelling words. I was once even in a spelling bee and I got a trophy that was a geeky-looking bee. I love that trophy!
10. I type words in my head when I see them. I can’t help it and I think it makes my typing skills even better.
11. I have a REALLY hard time frequenting a business that cannot spell its own line of business correctly. For example, I went past a bakery that said they were selling “coopcakes”. Come on!
12. I once met Keith Urban and he called me sweetheart. To this day, I won’t let Danny call me sweetheart.
13. I go stir crazy very easily. I love to travel, but I hate the modes of transportation that get me where I’m going, particularly planes.
14. I have a weird sense of humor. It drives Danny and my friends crazy.
15. I have very expensive taste. For example, my favorite foods are crab, steak, and lobster.
16. Though I have expensive taste, I think paying $20 is too much for a pair of pants.
17. I want to start a photography business one day for my own enjoyment.
18. I will answer to the names Pickle, George, or Junebug.
19. I get really excited when it rains or snows. Precipitation is so calming to me.
20. I only went through a 3 ½ hour labor with my first child. Jealous? I know. :)
21. Though Danny makes fun of me for it, I have a desire to learn how to rollerblade.
22. I share the same birthday with my mother-in-law. Danny definitely can never forget that day!
23. I want four kids, solely because it is an even number. (But I have more than 4 names in mind for my children.)
24. I am a complete sap.
25. I prefer to make presents than to just buy them. For Valentine’s Day, I made Danny a cookie bouquet. I know. Talented.
