Happy Belated Birthday!?!?
Every year on my birthday I try to post new things you may not know about me. I owe you 36 new things (by the way, this gets harder each year as I try hard not to repeat!). Here we go.
1. I'm providing this list over a month late. My birthday was actually Sept 8th. *blogger fail*
2. I'm addicted to the show Sister Wives (a twisted reality show about a polygamist family...)
3. I use paper towels in the Trader Joe's bathroom but turn on the air dryer so it *sounds* like I'm choosing to be environmentally friendly.
4. I always use the same bicycle in spin class. We say it doesn't matter where you sit.... but deep down I hate when someone takes "my" bike.
5. I think I'd really like to shoot clay pigeons. I guess that's called skeet shooting.
6. I collected plush Garfield animals as a child.
7. I hate when people say, "Have a good one!" ("Have a good one.... what???")
8. I correct the cashiers at Kohls when they tell me how much I saved. "You SAVED $23.87!" is met with, "Actually, I SPENT $34.44!" I'm onto their tricks.
9. When I want to relax, I imagine myself at the big water fountains (set to music) outside the Bellagio Hotel in Las Vegas. It's my happy place.
10. Sometimes when I'm using knives in the kitchen, I like to pretend I'm on one of those cooking competition shows.
11. I'm embarrassed when Nathan takes us through the Sam's Club one-way gas station and drives in the opposite direction of the arrows painted on the ground. (clearly I'm not the rebel I thought I was)
12. I don't have the patience or stamina to teach Keegan how to tie his shoes..... so my plan is to buy him velcro shoes...... forever.
13. I've been on a lot of dates not knowing they were dates (before Nathan, of course.....)
14. I love Duck Dynasty (but, then again, who doesn't!?)
15. I ask department store clerks if they have any extra coupons. If they don't have any, they often give me a random discount. Senior!? I'll take it!
16. I'm afraid of bees (recently sitting on one and getting stung on the bottom did not help!)
17. I don't like long games. Monopoly would be torture.
18. I'm halfway through this list. Are you really reading this?
19. I'm an introvert.
20. I can stand on my head, unassisted.
21. My favorite ice cream flavor was Kroger's chocolate cinnamon but now my Kroger doesn't carry it. And, I'm not sure how to carry on without it....
22. I'm annoyed by that awkward time of year when some neighbors have pumpkins out still and some are decorating for Christmas. Everyone agree on a holiday, already.
23. I enjoyed talking on the store intercom system when I worked at Menards.
24. I'm a control freak. *sigh*
25. My parents got me a Cabbage Patch Doll in the 80's and I named it Stephanie Christine.
26. I'm the 2nd grade room mom. The excitement never ends.
27. I've been known to talk in my sleep.
28. Instead of using my car's heater in the winter, I always run the air conditioner but select the hottest setting. It freaks people out... "You've got the a/c on!!" Hot air is hot air. Or, is it!?
29. The first thing I do in a hotel room is check the closets and behind the curtains for bad guys (or monsters, you never know).
30. I floss twice a year, once before each teeth cleaning.
31. I like the smell of Play-doh.
32. I'm pretty sure my college dorm's "monster cookies" were to blame for my freshman 15.
33. I often do squats or leg lifts while waiting for water to boil. I'm pre-working off the pasta that's about to come.
34. People often send me links about bacon. I must have an obvious problem.
35. I sell household things off my front porch using an online yard sale page. I'm pretty sure it looks like I'm running a drug business.
36. I didn't feel old turning 36. I did, however, feel old having a husband turn 37! I think I'm somehow still in my middle-to-low 30s. Right!? Happy birthday, to me!
