List 20 random facts about yourself.
I have to be honest. I almost didn't take on this challenge because I knew this one would be really tough for me. I really struggle with saying things about myself. You always hear that if you want someone to start talking, ask them about themselves. However, that isn't true for me. Ask me about myself and I'll usually stammer and stutter and sound like I don't know myself.
But, I'm willing to do just about anything for my baby turtle, so here we go. :)
1. I love to read and have for as long as I can remember. My mom read to me from before I can remember and encouraged that love of reading that I still have today.
2. I really like cooking, even though my skills are pretty basic. I didn't have much interest in cooking for a lot of years, but I enjoy it now and like trying out new recipes or making old favorites.
3. I have lived in Kansas for all but two years of my life. I was convinced a few years after college that I really wanted to live anywhere else, so I tried it, but I am glad that I came back. Now I appreciate Kansas for the things it has to offer and know that I can visit elsewhere if I want to see other things.
4. For about seven years, I held the 2 mile track record at my high school. It wasn't that great of a time, but the record was mine and that made me very proud!
5. I am a pack rat. I save things that I will never ever look at again, because at one point in time they were important to me. Your father hates this trait! :)
6. For as long as I can remember, I have loved spending time in the water. I like to swim, but have just as much fun playing around or standing around talking. I just like being in the water.
7. Animated Disney movies are my weakness. I will stop whatever I am doing to watch most Disney movies and don't care if I just watched it yesterday. Dumbo is the only animated Disney movie that I don't watch.
8. I have never eaten liver, Brussels sprouts, cooked cabbage, or sauerkraut.
9. I have never finished a tube of lip balm, but almost always have two or three in the house.
10. I love office supply stores! I like checking out/buying different pens and mechanical pencils. I have more Post-It notes than any one person should have.
11. I have always been a klutz. I will trip over next to nothing. I've gotten better as I've gotten older, but it was pretty bad when I was younger. I had stitches on my head more than once and twisted my ankle falling off an elevated planter when I was in college.
12. I like dancing, but don't think I'm very good at it.
13. I strongly resisted having a cell phone, but now can't imagine not having one, though I'm still resisting the smart phone.
14. I love listening to 80s music. There are so many different songs that I like from that decade!
15. I almost never listen to the radio when I'm driving in the car by myself. I listen to books on CD.
16. I love to drive. Given the opportunity, I will always choose to be the driver. Thankfully your father doesn't really enjoy driving like I do, so it works perfectly! I'm such a bad passenger!
17. I like the look of wood with stain instead of paint. I think painted wood is much less attractive than wood that has just been stained. I think I got this trait from your Grandpa Don.
18. When I was born, I was allergic to milk, which was kind of a big deal because that's what I was given. It made me have colic and that made me very cranky. Still to this day, I don't really like milk as it upsets my stomach. I have found that almond milk is a good alternative.
19. I write faster in cursive than I do in print. It's not always easy for others to read, but I can always read it.
20. I have dreamed about being your mother for such a long time and can't wait until I get to meet you and find out all about both of us in our roles together for life. :)
So there are 20 random facts about me. By the time you read this, you will probably already know several of these, but there might be some of them that are still a surprise.
