The challenge this week over at The Shine Project is to show off a little of our random selves. This. is not hard for me.
Anyone who knows me, knows I am the Queen of Random.
So here is a fun little listy of Random Goodness!
1. Three days before I started middle school I managed to cut off a finger. How? On a hide-a-bed.
2. My brother still makes fun of me because I will never admit that Geraldo’s hair is anything but WHITE.
3. When I was a kid, I used to tell my family that they weren’t my REAL family, and that my real family was going to come get me and take me back to New York to live in our big house with 1000 bedrooms and 3000 bathrooms. Every time I told the story, the numbers grew larger.
4. Obviously, the bathroom is my favorite room in a house.
5. My husband and I went skydiving on our honeymoon. He and his Best Man were terrified, but I was too cool for school. We want to do it again.
6. I’ve also bungee-jumped on more than once occasion.
7. I once had nine piercings, but now I only have three. I also have four tattoos.
8. I have a scar that runs down the side of my face from my first cat, Willy. It was well-deserved…I bit him in the stomach, and not very gently.
9. I have electrocuted myself on an electric fence more than once. More than twice, too.
10. One year, Mom spent all day baking dozens of cookie-cutter sugar cookies for my brother and I to decorate the next day. The next morning, Mom went into the kitchen to discover that every head and tree top had been bitten off. Yes, that was me.
11. Being in the Air Force was the best experience of my life, and where I met my best friend, Chronic. It is also indirectly because of being in the Air Force that I met my husband. Awesome.
12. I love chocolate and candy, but when I eat most kinds, my face breaks out in something like having a menopausal hot flash. It’s weird, and annoying, but doesn’t stop me from eating yum-yums.
So, there ya have it. Feel like you know me a little bit better?
