1. I have an irrational fear for frogs. I'm more afraid of the small tree frogs than I am of large bullfrogs. My fear stems from the fact that they can jump and it's difficult to gauge just how far they are going to jump, so they can come out of NOWHERE! There have been times that I've hyperventilated because a frog has been under the door handle of my car. I'm terrified, I tell you.
2. My favorite Disney movie is Oliver and Company. When I was a kid, I saw it in theaters more times than I care to admit. "Why Should I Worry" is one of the songs that I would use in a soundtrack for my life.
3. Before kiddo, I was the only person in my immediate family not born on the 29th of a month. My dad (November), mom (April), and brother (January) were, but I was born on the 22 (July). (So close!)
4. When I lived in Baton Rouge, my friends and I would have Spaghetti Wednesdays. At the time, I was the only member of the crew who didn't have a master's degree. Present day, I'm the only one who has not either obtained or is working on a Ph.D.
5. In college, I burnt a poptart in the microwave of my dorm room. I then used my ninja abilities to throw it away on a different hall without anyone being wiser. I told one of my best friends who lived on the hall where I threw it out years later, and she now calls me Betty Crocker.
6. I'm hoarding turkey bacon in my freezer. This month was the first time, since September, that I've had to buy turkey bacon. HEB had a sale when I ran out, so I took it as a sign to begin hoarding more turkey bacon. If all else fails, I have enough turkey bacon to eat on for a few months.
7. Mark Wahlberg has always been my number one celebrity crush.
8. The only thing that I like at Starbucks, beverage wise, is their hot chocolate. I love coffee, but am not a big fan of their coffee.
9. The worst injury I've had came playing in a work league softball game. I managed to play tournament, high school, and college softball without a major injury. I was hit in between the temple and the eye in a work league softball game and suffered a pretty severe concussion. To this day, I have very limited short term memory.
10. I spent a semester in London and learned more about myself in 4 months than I ever thought I could.
11. I may be 30 years old, but I love One Direction. I have all of the albums, the 1D movie, and more memorabilia than I care to admit. If I could afford to see them live in concert, I would go in a heart beat! I mean, even Buzzfeed says that Louis is my boy band soulmate:
12. I convinced my co-worker that we should buy season tickets to a minor league hockey team in Fargo, ND (even though we live in Texas) based on this awesome commercial:
13. I always wear my hair pulled back. Always. One of the side effects from PCOS is that the balding thing that I've got going on. Between my hair being thin and fine, and the bald spots, it makes it very difficult to wear my hair down. I've become the master of my version of the messy bun.
14. Pizza is my favorite food. There are very few times where I would not chose pizza if it was an option, one of those being at a fair. Fair pizza isn't the same, and I'm too busy stuffing my face with all of the fried food I can't get on a regular basis to make it worth spending my limited money on pizza.
15. I'm a reality tv junkie. When I get free time from work and am not watching Thomas the Tank Engine with kiddo (over and over), I gravitate towards reality tv. I can also bring reality tv moments into almost any conversation.
16. I have this weird habit of responding with song lyrics in conversation. (Reality tv and song lyrics, it's a wonder I have any friends!)
17. I'm obsessed with book buying, and go through periods where I get anxious if I haven't been to a bookstore in a while. I have so many books that I haven't read, and will try to put a dent in them over the summer. (So I won't feel guilty about purchasing more books, of course.)
18. One of my favorite (makes me laugh) memories of my grandfather was when he was teaching me to pitch. We (me, my dad, my brother, and my grandpa) were at the ballpark and he told me to stop throwing like a girl. I yelled at him that I was a girl and then flashed him. All of the boys started laughing so hard that my lesson for the day was over. My grandpa used to love telling that story to people too.
19. I do not know how to ride a bike. When I was younger, I got frustrated when I was learning to ride a bike and declared that I would just walk anywhere I needed to go.
20. I ran my first (and probably only) half marathon while I was pregnant with kiddo. I wasn't 100% positive that I was pregnant when I ran it. It was also very icy (February in Tennessee) and through a state park. I slipped many times during those 13.1 miles. I finished the race with a very sore ass and I told my parents that if I ever said I was going to do that again, to remind me of how I wanted to jump in front of an 18-wheeler during the last 2 miles of the course.
I hope some of those confessions made you laugh! I'd love to see what random facts any of y'all would choose to share with the world. I have many more things I could have shared, but I'll save them for another post.
Happy Monday! :)
