11 RANDOM FACTS ABOUT Uncharted Territory:
1. I am a technology-a-holic....I love gadgets, computers, and software that makes my life easier. But I AM able to turn it off from time to time....and am making a conscious effort to do that more often.
2. I do not keep potato chips or chocolate chip cookies in my house. These are two foods that I CANNOT stop myself from eating if they are available....IN EXCESS!
3. My husband proposed to me at the top of the Arc d'Triumph in Paris....yes, sickeningly romantic, I know! :-)
4. I can blow bubbles off of my tongue....you know, the saliva kind? (ewwww, I know!) I used to do this in the volleyball huddle in college, and used to get in trouble for this by my coach.
5. To clarify number 4, I played volleyball in college, and for many years after. I am now too broken from injuries and child bearing that I will now have to take up a new sport that is less physically trying....perhaps underwater basket weaving?
6. I once ran a half marathon, and on a seperate occasion rode my bike 100 miles in 2 days. This was a VERY long time ago....clearly!
7. I prefer listening to music over watching television.
8. My first ever job was corn detasseling (Google it if you really want to know)...I HAD to throw that one in...it always makes people laugh when I tell them this.
9. I am a HUGE Neil Diamond fan. I know just about every song he's ever written/sung, and have seen him in concert twice.
10. I have a new-found love of all things that sparkle. This from a girl who was no-frills for most of my life. Maybe it's having a little girl that is bringing it out in me.
11. I love to cook, and look forward to spending lots of time in the kitchen with my little ones, but not until they are old enough to help me clean up!
Here are the questions from PDDWorld with my answers:
1) What are three things you CAN NOT live without? Tweezers, Mc Donald's Diet Coke, and my kids. :-)
2) When was the last time you cried? Hmm, today....I cry all of the time, both for good and bad reasons. I wear it on my sleeve, and that's just the way it is.
3) Do you secretly have a favorite kid? Maybe, but if I told you, I'd have to kill you! :-)
4) Bath or shower? Shower for sure. The idea of a bath is nice, but actually taking a bath grosses me out for some reason.
5) If you saw somebody shoplifting, would you say something or pretend you didn't see anything? Good one! I'm not sure...I would probably say something, but if the person looked super down and out, I might just approach them and offer to buy it for them.
6) Do you have a favorite picture of yourself? Where and when was it taken? Not that I can think of, but if I did, it would not have been taken in the last 5 years! Darn that baby weight!
7) Do you have any pets? One cat...she's been with me for 10 years. I smuggled her across the border from Canada to detroit in a duffle bag after finding her on a volleyball court in Windsor.
8) What song is stuck in your head? Yo Gabba Gabba's "The first day of school, the first day of school, the first day of school, the first day of school!!" Ugh! For three days now!
9) Have you ever been arrested? Nada
10) Do you think you're a good judge of a person's character? Usually, but sometimes I'm fooled.
11) When was the last time you laughed til your face hurt? Sadly, I can't remember. Need to make that happen soon!
