Little Did You Know...

Twenty-five facts about me. You're welcome.

1.     My favorite animal is a giraffe; they are the exact opposite of me –tall and quiet.

2.     I’m so cheap it’s unbelievable. You’d probably be hard pressed to meet any (normal) person who hates spending money more than I do. In fact, if someone asked me what I would do with $1 million, my answer would be to put it all in my savings account. I’m so lame.

3.     Even though I hate spending money, I have a list of things I want to spend money on. I don’t quite understand that.

4.     I think heaters in homes, even in Idaho winters, are practically useless. I would much rather bundle up in a sweatshirt and blanket than turn on the heater. RJ, on the other hand, loves the heater. We’re constantly turning it on and off.

5.     I don’t like being in big groups of people. I hate being close enough to someone that I can smell their perfume/cologne. I’m people-claustrophobic.

6.     If I could, I would re-marry RJ every year on our anniversary just so I could plan another wedding and re-register for wedding gifts.

7.     I hate wearing shoes and socks. Besides running shoes, I didn’t own closed-toed shoes until I moved to Idaho.

8.     I can sing without opening my mouth.

9.     When I turned 18 I almost got a tattoo on the inside of my lip that said, “Please?” I wanted to be able to stick out my lower lip when I wanted something and look both adorable and hysterically pathetic. Thankfully I changed my mind.

10.   I share my name with my sister-in-law. Our husbands think it’s hilarious…we find it annoying, to say the least. PS: I also share my nickname with another sister-in-law. Sheesh.

11.  I hate pizza.

12.  When my mom was pregnant she loved cherry poptarts, mint and chip ice cream, and only the berries from Capt’n Crunch cereal. Those are three of my favorite foods.

13.  I can’t whistle.

14.   When I was a 16 I won a large debate tournament using a fake statistic that I made up on the spot. Everyone knew it was made-up, except the judges. BOOM!

15.  I have a reverse dimple in my chin that shows when I smile.

16.  I am HORRIBLE at video games. One time I was playing Wii Golf and they kicked me out of the game because my score was so bad. Pathetic.

17.  I love, love, LOVE making Ritz cracker PB&J sandwiches.

18.  I can’t sit still, especially when people are around. The more people that are around me, the more I fidget…so embarrassing.

19.  If I had a day to do anything that I wanted (realistically), I’d take a nap.

20.  The sight of sour cream and cottage cheese makes me shiver from disgust.

21.  I can’t drive a stick shift, and I have to be forced to drive at night.

22.   I never stay awake to watch a full movie, even if I am at the movie theater.

23.  When I was little I begged my mom to let me take piano lessons. When she agreed, I never wanted to practice. Now I don’t know how to play the piano and I really regret it.

24.  My favorite station on Pandora is “Hits of the 90s.”

25.  I have the cutest baby in the entire world.
