11 things about myself:
1. I just had a root canal... well half of one I guess... and my mouth is friggin' sore right now! Plus I get the added bonus of looking like a window licker when I try to move the left side of my face. Happy Monday folks!
2. I have the asthmas and a strong desire to run a 5k. These DO NOT mesh.
3. I have a strong desire to have a tidy house coupled with a strong desire to sit down a lot. Guess which one wins
4. I'm pretty sure I'm a glutton for punishment. If someone asks me to do something, I have to find a way to do it. It is for this reason that I continue to add responsibilities to myself with no raise in pay. Maybe I'm not a glutton for punishment. Maybe I'm just dumb.
5. I have a list a mile long of things that make me want to jab a pencil in my eye. They include, but are not limited to: smacking of any sort, mouth breather, forceful breathing out of your nose (this isn't a marathon), whistling of any sort, the sound of fingernails being clipped, tapping for no apparent reason, and the constant clearing of someone's throat or any time of loogie noise. Disgusting.
6. If this were the early 1900s, I'd be a frickin' genius. I can memorize word for word faster than any person I know. How does this help me in life? Vocabulary tests and knowing the lyrics to most songs. That's it. And as I'm done with the vocabulary tests and I will not sing karaoke, this talent is pretty much a waste. (And once I memorize it, it never goes away. At any point, ask me to tell you the poem "Eletelephony". I memorized it in the 2nd grade and still know that thing. Dumb.)
7. Medical procedures of any kind just do not freak me out. I go into it like I'm high or something. This is really funny when you couple it with my husband's crippling fear of anything medical. For instance: If you ask him to blow his nose in the doctor's office he wants to know why and you have to talk him down from a ledge. I go in for a root canal this morning and I forgot to mention it to my husband until yesterday. The dentist tells me I have to go back for round 2 and I'm like, "meh... alright." (Also, this applies to my more than mellow state when I had to have a c-section. Even I was expecting me to freak out then, but instead I was all, "Whatever works man. Dope me up!"
8. My love language is "Acts of Love," and almost nothing else. This means: I forget that other people receive or give love in any other way. Therefore it never occurs to me to build people up with words, or get them gifts, or give them a hug (sometimes it does). Wanna make my day? Clean my house. Bring me a Dr. Pepper when you know I'm stressed out. Take care of something for me. This is funny to me too because Justin is clearly a Quality Time person and I so am not. While we are sitting together watching a movie, I'm thinking I could be doing laundry or sleeping. And when I'm thinking, "I wish he'd come in here and help me with the dishes," he is thinking, "I wish she'd come in here and sit down with me for a minute." Its like a dog chasing its tail.
9. I do not enjoy ice cream. Or the snow. But if given the chance to eat snow ice cream, I will, because it reminds me of childhood days.
10. Speaking of snow, I once tried to feed a turkey snow. He then attacked me. My grandpa then attacked it. I think we had fresh turkey on that Thanksgiving. Stupid bird.
11. Speaking of birds, put me with in a 500 ft radius of a goose and I guarantee you that s/he will attack me. They hate me. Maybe they know of the unfortunate turkey incident. This is even true over seas. I was crossing a bridge in Maastricht, Netherlands and was met by 4 angry geese. I retreated back where I came from to find 3 more on the other side. THEY PLOTTED AGAINST ME. My friend distracted them so I could run to safety. Stupid birds.
April Jech's Questions:
1. Tell me something quirky about you? I eat M&Ms evenly, in order of the rainbow. Every time.
2. What would be your ideal concert? (no limits to if they're around or not anymore) I'd like to see Blake Shelton, Miranda Lambert, and Reba all at once.
3. If you could live anywhere for a year where would you live and what makes that place so special? I'm pretty chill where I am. But I did love the Netherlands. Everyone is friendly (except for the geese).
4. What's your guilty pleasure? Bite size Milky Ways. Or Big Brother. Or put them both together.
5. If you HAD to be a doctor, what type of doctor would you be and why? Family practitioner. Jack of all trades.
6. If you could be a star in any movie, what movie and who would you be? Any comedy where I don't have to get naked. I can't get naked in front of others for the viewing pleasure of others. Makes me feel icky.
7. What's your favorite restaurant & what would you recommend there? This all depends on which way the wind is blowing. Honestly right now I'm craving hummus and a gyro from Layla's.
8. What's your favorite holiday and why? Mother's Day. I love everything about being a mom so why not celebrate it!
9. What's your ideal weekend? 80 degrees, plenty of time for the zoo, long naps with Sam, and easy to cook meals.
10. What's a hobby you've always wanted to take up? Sewing/crocheting/knitting. But I don't have the patience.
11. What's your favorite store to shop at? (either in store or online) Right now it is ROSS. Wholly molly the dresses and for CHEAP!
