25 random things
1. I
can quote the entire movie of Ferris Bueller’s Day Off. To say I’m obsessed
with that movie is an understatement.
2. I’m
not scared of snakes or spiders but snails & praying mantises creep me out.
3. I
can count on one hand how many jobs I’ve had... and that’s even including the 3
month stint at a dry cleaners. (clearly I had a misconception about how dry
cleaners worked- best story ever btw).
4. I’m
obsessed with twins and I probably tell Mic on a daily basis that I hope we
have them someday.
5. I
have the weirdest and (more often times) scariest dreams ever. I don’t read too
into them, but I do wonder why I can’t have a normal dream.
6. I
tried being a gymnast for a day when I was 7, but then my mom had a baby & never took me
back. I still wonder why she signed me up for gymnastics when she was 9 months
pregnant.
7. My
friends threw me a “3 digits party” when I finally weighed 100lb. (hence 3
digits..) I was about 19 or 20 y/o at the time. Still trying to prove my
grandma wrong who always said to me “one day you are going to wake up heavy so
you should watch what you eat…”
8. I
have the worst study habits ever, and I’m the queen of procrastination. With
that being said, my style of “wingin it” has worked in my favor thus far, so I
probably can’t kick the bad habits.
9. I
have this odd habit of randomly checking the time on my phone & more often
than not it is 12:34. I then hurry and text Mic “1234” because of a
longstanding joke. This has gone on for our entire marriage.
10. I’ve learned that I’m an auditory learner, I remember things that are said to me & have a pretty good memory esp of names & dates. But ask me to read instructions of any kind & I always read the first 2 steps & skim the rest. Or don’t read them at all.

11. I’m
not a big sweet tooth person, in fact I could probably give up chocolate
altogether. Salty stuff however is my addiction. Chips, salsa, etc.
12. I hope our kids get my sense of humor/story telling ability, my eyes, & small feet (for the girls), and Mic’s intelligence, his curly hair, & height (for the boys), and my Nana’s kindness- pretty sure that is inherited somehow ;)

13. I’m
very stubborn & opinionated. This makes for great long discussions or
debates with Mic.
14. I
still have to pinch myself & remind myself that I am IN nursing school!
15. I
love to travel & I find myself looking at vacation deals often.
16. If I
didn’t have a minor fear of flying I would’ve become a flight attendant for the
flight benefits & travel opportunities.
17. I
don’t think I watch a lot of TV, but I do have a few shows I love & get so
into that I find myself forgetting that the characters don’t actually exist. (Mostly,
Modern Family & Scandal right now and Private Practice & Friends when
it was still on).
18. I
have a bunch of pet peeves... that should be my next post, a list of all my pet
peeves J
19. I hate breakfast for dinner; in fact breakfast foods are my least favorite, so why would I want it twice? Unless it is Kneader’s French Toast.

20. Gross
fact: I love popping zits. I know its super gross but I love it. Mic hates that
I love it since he’s always on the receiving end of that. LOL.
21. I
own a ridiculous amount of shoes, and slippers too it turns out. Like who
really needs 5+ pairs of slippers?
22. I
make some weird Mmmm noise when I’m eating something that I really enjoy. Half
the time I don’t even notice that I’m doing it until Mic says “your motor is
running” (our inside joke).
23. I’m obsessed with Sharks & Penguins. We swam with leopard sharks once.

24. I am
not a night person, come 9:30 or 10 & I am ready for bed.
25. When
we were younger Mace & I played John Madden football on the game cube or
some device… and I always chose my team based off of their helmet. (I choose
the “cute” ones). Even now I still pretend to be a fan of the Colts & the
Cowboys.
25 Random Things About Me from Feb 8, 2009. (back before I got engaged)
#1 I collect swim suits, one day I want to live in a beach hut in Hawaii and wear nothing but swim suits and some SPF. Or on a house boat at Lake Powell.
#2 For years when I was younger I told people I was adopted. Not sure why I did this but my mom hated it.
#3 I won every spelling bee in the 5th grade (which was every Fri.) but I somehow mix up words (i.e teen mobile instead of t-mobile, tuberwear instead of Tupperware, beetboard instead of beedboard?..etc and Laura is the one who points out all my mistakes on a regular basis.
#4 One day I want to swim with sharks
#5 In junior high Aubrey, Becky and I burned all the fall leaves in my moms backyard in the trampoline pit. (not smart). The whole street could see this bon fire thing.
#6 I don’t know how to drive a manual car. Michelle and I when we were both 15 tried to teach me how to drive my dad’s manual jeep… ran every stop sign because I couldn’t stop/start.
#7 I once worked at a dry cleaners, my idea of how they worked was a little screwy so needless to say that job didn’t last long.
#8 I love taking/being in random pictures.
#9 I have a tendency to cry when I see others crying
#10 I lose my cell phone on a daily basis and I don’t have a house phone to call it.
#11 I’ve named most of my family’s pets, it’s a talent of mine.
#12 I love traveling but I’m scared of airports.
#13 I can talk my way out of speeding tickets.
#14 I pass out from blood draws, TB tests, flu shots, etc. (On my self, on others I have no problem.)
#15 I will be blonde always!
#16 I can type faster than anyone I know but it’s not the standard 10 finger typing. I only use two. I skipped typing in junior high and I can’t get myself to change.
#17 I overanalyze everything!
#18 I want to have twins and I swear it’s going to happen even though it doesn’t exactly run in my family.
#19 I have ridiculously small feet.
#20 I’m a huge fan of secondhand stores.
#21 I’ve gotten into fights with the homeless, housekeepers, two handicap ladies, & some Vegas hippies. All of which instigated the fight. (Laura & I refer to it as the “4H’s”)
#22 I love fountain diet coke (and there is a difference between fountain, bottled, and canned). I’m even picky about the place. I will travel the extra distance for good diet coke before I go to the closest gas station if their diet coke sucks. McDonalds has the best, the hospital has the worst!
#23 I believe in KARMA.
#24 I have to wear some type of jewelry even if I’m only wearing sweats.
#25 I can quote Ferris Bueller’s Day off word for word
