September 8th: All. About. Me.
Because my 35th birthday was during my blogcation.... you missed my birthday! For every birthday I provide a new list of things ALL. ABOUT. ME. I must say, this is getting harder to come up with new things each year! Here it goes:
1. I can easily remember my middle school locker combination but I have to think for a minute when asked what year(s) my kids were born.
2. I wish I liked olives because I think it would be fun to put them on all of my fingers.
3. I'm pretending I don't need glasses. (please don't ask me to read the far end of the menu at Qdoba)
4. I vividly remember playing with a flashlight as a child and making a helicopter hover over my house at night. No one else saw it. No one believed me.
5. I had a very large collection of clip-on animals as a child, like probably 150-200. (In the 80's you could buy them everywhere).
6. I would do spool knitting as a child and make ropes for my clip-on animals to hang all over my room.
7. Vintage Pyrex makes me smile. (This is one of my favorites... from Goodwill, of course)
8. I get faint easily.
9. I don't know how to open or use a fresh garlic clove. Someone please teach me.
10. Once a week, I get a McDonald's grilled chicken snack wrap without sauce, and a large Diet Coke.
11. I'm afraid of bees.
12. I avoid buying red meat because I'm confused by how the stores name/label it.
13. Most side dishes we ate growing up as a child involved the Fry Daddy... and I lived to tell about it.
14. Growing up, I couldn't pronounce "for" correctly. It sounded like "fur". "Fur plus fur is eight". Or, "What's that fur?"
15. I love my chiropractor.
16. I sometimes skip words and/or pages when reading books to the kids.
17. I found it really hard not to write this list in 3rd person. Darn Facebook.
18. I loved making those ridiculous pot holders as a child using looms. I secretly still want to.
19. I own a football signed by all of the Colts from the 1999 team, including Peyton Manning and Edgerrin James. I'm pretty sure it's why Nathan married me.
20. I find pleasure in mixing meatloaf ingredients with my hands.
21. I am known by the employees at Target because I'm there so much.
22. I'm annoyed by people whistling in the car unless it's to a song that specifically involves whistling.
23. I'm taking Nathan to see Jim Gaffigan (comedian) live next month. It sort of makes me the best. wife. ever.
24. If I were forced to eat only one food for the rest of my life, it would be egg noodles.
25. I have a secret about the day my cat was put down that I will take to my grave.
26. I think mouthwash is way too spicy.
27. I love to play practical jokes.
28. I like my hot dogs with just relish.
29. I take a natural sleep aid called Mid Nite every night. The box says 'non habit forming' but it's a lie. I'm addicted.
30. I originally wanted to play drums but my parents made me pick another instrument. (good thing since I have little coordination)
31. I was a horrible babysitter as a teen and thought I never wanted kids.
32. I think some of these items are repeats from past years and it makes me feel like a big cheater.
33. My current goal in life is to watch all 135 episodes of Take Home Chef on Netflix.
34. I don't like sharing toothpaste with Nathan. We have his and hers paste.
35. I'm impressed that you made it through this list!
Happy birthday, to me!!!!!
This list gets harder to write each year. I'd better start my 36 list now!!
