25 Random Things About Me

1. I can't throw a live plant out even if I hate it. It usually works best if someone else does the dirty work for me. In fact I would rather commit "accidental" murder and let it freeze outside while "getting sun" than throw it out healthy and alive.

2. I use the same alarm clock I used during high school complete with melted button from where I put a curling iron on it. Still works!

3. I am going to learn how to knit, my first lesson is tonight!

4. I have recently developed a fetish for earrings. I don't know how it happened. During my mission and several years after I had the same pair of silver "balls" in my ears, as in they never left my ears. Now I don't even know where they are. I have big dangly things that David is still shocked about.

5. My favorite holiday is Christmas followed closely by Halloween.

6. I hate shrimp. It's like eating dead fingers.

7. I never really learned how to swim even though I took swimming lessons as a child. I can do the dead man's float really well though.

8. I like to scrapbook, though you wouldn't know it because the urge only comes once or twice a year. I have to take advantage of it.

9. I HATE cleaning the bathroom. David is kind enough to do it for me.

10. I have several pairs of socks with sentimental value.. sigh.

11. I have two screws in my ring finger.

12. I keep my toenails painted all the time, even in the winter when no one sees.

13. My favorite scent in candle or spray form is Pear.

14. I am allergic to Clover Club BBQ potato chips.

15. I threw up after my first kiss. It was my 16th birthday.

16. I prefer to make my own birthday cake cause then I get exactly what I want.

17. I can read books while running on a treadmill. (It's more difficult when running on the street)

18. I buy my own toothpaste cause I don't like David's choice.

19. I am a cat and a dog person (go figure!)

20. Even though swimsuits are not my friend, my vacation spot of choice will always include a beach.

21. I once cut off a mole on my arm with a pair of fingernail clippers.

22. I hate it when other people try to "organize me" or my stuff or anything else. No touchy.

23. I don't share food unless it is my idea.

24. I like to exercise by myself.

25. Last but not least, I actually like the snow even though I seem to hate it at times.
