It’s funny how much I/we share here on the blog with you. But, as always, there’s plenty we don’t talk about, too. Here’s some randomness I may have never shared here…
********************************************
1. I’m allergic to grass. Really.
2. My favorite place in the world (so far) may be the Amalfi Coast in Italy. Could’ve stayed forever.
3. I love great wine with a meal, but I’m sort of a craft beer girl.
4. Despite going to church all my life, I never actually read through my Bible until I went to college. Life altering.
5. I can make my eyeballs shake. And tie a cherry stem in a knot with my tongue. Hidden talents.
6. I’m pretty much open to trying any and all kinds of foods, but gloppy mayonnaise makes me wanna vom.
7. I won a Reserve World Championship at the Palomino World Show in Tulsa, Oklahoma, when I was 15. Yep.
8. I’m also allergic to hay, so those horse riding days were pretty interesting.
9. I’m the worst about doctor’s appointments. Will put off going for months. And months.
10. I love the smell of a fresh cut field (except I’m allergic to said field). And I kinda like the way skunks smell. I know.
11. I’m a music person. Blare my playlist the minute I’m in the car or anywhere but work, really. And at work when I can get away with it.
12. Favorite song of all time? Hard, but I love When A Man Loves a Woman by Percy Sledge.
13. I don’t dig roses all that much. Give me some lilies all day.
14. I have a black thumb. Because watering flowers bores me to death.
15. I’ve written 6 chapters of a fictional novel. Just can’t quite make it to the next chapter.
16. I’m ridiculously stubborn. Try to fight it, but it’s the way it is.
17. I have a 14 inch titanium rod in my right femur. Random, I know.
18. Catching tree frogs was my favorite pastime as an 8 year old.
19. I played in the high school All Star game–basketball.
20. I can palm a boys basketball. #manhands
21. I’ve forgotten my kids’ dentists appointments. Twice. In the last year.
22. I’m the most introverted extrovert I know. Well. There’s this one other person, but I’m pretty weird.
23. I love classical literature. And poetry. And James Patterson.
24. I’m such a guy when it comes to movies. Favorite movie of all time may be The Shawshank Redemption. Or Saving Private Ryan. Or A League of Their Own.
25. I wanted to be a tight rope walker when I grew up. That was before I had man hands.
Somebody tell me I’m not alone on those dentist appointments already.
ha ha, I love these! You are not alone with the dentist appointment. My son had a 4 year check up that the Dr. had to cancel. My kids knew I had to call back and reschedule, I forgot to. My 4 and 5 year old boy’s reminded me one day I needed to call and reschedule. Yay for kids being more “adult like” then me! I am also a introvert who moonlights as a extrovert. I was just telling my husband that (he is solid introvert). I love people and talking to them, don’t need attention on me, and LOVE my alone time. Also, music is my best friend and blare it any chance I can get!
If I get mayo on my finger it has to be washed off immediately! My husband calls me “monkey toes” because I pick up things with my toes and pass them to my hand. And I like to put my m & ms in the sun so they get “melty” on the inside (microwave results are too inconsistent).
I am so glad to know I’m not the only one with a deadly black thumb! I finally gave up on all those flowers I love and managed to kill every year and planted marigolds because everyone said they are hard to kill. Wrong!!! Flowers are now safe from me since I found out I’m allergic to “agricultural mold”, so no more digging in the dirt. I’m allergic to so many things, fall and spring are not a fun time for me (privet hedge is evil…evil I say!!).
GREAT post. Would LOVE to see your hidden talents sometime.
hmm, my list is much shorter.
1, I took belly dancing classes and did one show at a restaurant with the teacher.
2. I am allergic to wood chips people use in gardens! Also to insect stings.
3. At Sea World in San Diego a gull pooped on me during a show. Not fun.
4. I have a crush on Bruce Willis since he was in the tv show Moonlighting. When he was filming Bandits about 2 miles from my home in Oregon City, I was there every night watching, tho he probably thought stalking!
5. When I was 23 I met Davy Jones of the then famous group THE MONKEES. I was working at a pizza place at the beer/wine counter. He came, sat and talked to me and then asked for a kiss, which I was willing to give him!!
6.I have seen a ghost.
7.I almost drowned when I was 9 years old.
10. Died and was revived when 19 when had double pneumonia.
11. I was at the grand opening of Disneyland and heard Walt’s speech.
12. I once held a hummingbird in my hand! It had accidentally got trapped in our vehicle and I caught it and it sat on my hand for about 20 seconds before taking off.
