What's new

Let's learn 5 Random Facts! About YOU.....and me!

teehee - I love how we are actually having a conversation at three different places .....
 
I've been trying to think if random things about me... Here it goes.

1. I make sweet tea the right way (let the sugar resolve in hot water, then make the tea, then pour over ice) countless times at work. Sometimes I'll have two cups sitting in my desk in different parts of the process.
2. My dog, Paco, is nicknamed taco because he likes to sleep between legs. I don't normally mind until he licks my feet an it startles me.
3. I prefer my hair to be long. My grandmother didn't recognize me in a photo. When I told her it was me, she (politely) said "never do that to your hair again" it stuck with me.
4. Up is one of my favorite Disney movies but I've only seen it twice. I cry three separate times and I'm not ready to try again.
5. I hate shaving my legs. I always miss spots and its a pain! Before my wedding I bought an epilator and despite the hassle, it's somehow better than a razor.

Hope those are random and new enough for you. It's been a blast to find out more about y'all. :)
 
1. my favorite color tends to change, it was purple, then lime green, now its orange lOl
2. Id love to vacation to Alaska during the month of no sun :)
3. I can recite tons of songs from Mickey Mouse Clubhouse - Thanks to my son lOl
4. I LOVE sushi, but I am very iffy eating cooked fish.. What is that?!
5. I lack the motivation and energy to lose weight and get into shape.

4. I've turned just about every hobby I've ever had into a job thanks to my "there must be a way to make money from this" attitude. Almost surprised I'm not a hooker.

I can't imagine there are 5 things about me that everyone doesn't already know, so these are probably repeats. :giggle

1. I won't eat meat that is still attached to the bones. No wings (unless boneless), no ribs, no t-bone steaks, etc. And no weird fatty parts are allowed either. I'm one weird meat texture away from being a vegetarian, even though I do like it usually.
2. In 2008 I weighed 260lbs. In 2012 I ran 4 marathons. (I've done 7 total)
3. I have a 3 K-Cup a day habit
4. I've turned just about every hobby I've ever had into a job thanks to my "there must be a way to make money from this" attitude. Almost surprised I'm not a hooker.
5. My toenails are polished and well maintained 365 days a year.

That was EXACTLY what I thought when I red it but it was when I read your response that I spit cola over my keyboard! Gurt is going to kill me! This is not the first time that's happened and now my 'd' is so sticky it won't come up well. He will have to help me with that...
 
Oh these are so fun!

I'm pretty much an open book so 5 things people don't already know about me is tough....I'll try though

1.) I stopped eating meat last fall...I'm liking it I think :)
2.) I am a Dave Matthews Band nut...I would follow them around like a Deadhead if I didn't have kids. I see him in concert every chance I get and I listen to them every single day
3.) I like wine way more then I should, I don't have a drinking problem...but I do love a good glass (or seven) of wine)
4.) I have Starbucks everyday and I know the name of the Barista at Laura's local Starbucks in KS (and no she didn't tell me)
5.) I won exactly 1 pair of socks and only wear them when running. I hate socks. It's freezing here so I wear Uggs around the house all day and night to keep my feet warm. Socks scare me, I don't like having my feet confined. That has to be some strange FL thing I guess.

I am sure that's throwing everyone for a loop. Kelly and I have morning coffee together over the phone. So, she always hears my barista, Brandon, asking for my order. LOL The joys of technology!

Also..I did not win my only pair of socks :giggle I own only 1 pair... see that's what too much wine will do
 
So fun to read these!

I'm pretty vanilla so I really don't have anything interesting to share but here's a few random things about me.

1. I was the Jazz and Blues director and a deejay at my university's radio station.
2. I was also Sociology Club president. We actually had shirts that said "Sociologists do it in groups and Anthropologists watch" to fundraise. DG still likes to tease me about this.
3. I realize #1 and #2 make me sound like a SuperNerd.
4. My favorite book of all time is To Kill a Mockingbird.
5. I love Chicago sports and am a devoted Cubs fan.
 
Our guinea pigs names are (were...one of them passed away) Boo and Scout. I love, love, love that book and that movie :)
 
Let's learn 5 Random Facts! About YOU.....and me!

This is so fun!!

Angie- I am TOTALLY with you on the making money out of hobbies thing! I have sold jewelry on etsy, and that's how I became a scrap designer!

So here's a few about me:

1) I had a spinal fusion when I was 24 in my thoracic spine, so I have two titanium rods holding the middle of my spine together.
2) I have a LONG list of fears, including flying (HATE IT), driving over bridges, claustrophobic, and the list goes on. Basically, I am a control freak, and if I'm not in control, I'm not a happy camper.
3) End of the Road by Boys 2 Men is one of my all time favorite songs
4) I should have been valedictorian in my high school, but we moved when I was a junior and I got screwed out of my class ranking at the new school. Despite that being a long time ago, I'm still miffed on my missed achievement.
5) I'm slowly turning my family into vegetarians and have only been cooking vegetarian dinners for the last few weeks. I have texture issues with food, and am pretty sure I won't miss meat at all.
 
Love this thread! :)

Some randoms about me;

1. My son was conceived with a donor, I chose to become a single parent at the age of 23 (still the best decision in my life)
2. I love traveling and I've been to 10 countries and 10 states in the US.
3. When I first started watching Walking Dead it really got to me and I caught myself thinking of changes we'd need to do to our house if we had to keep safe from a zombie attack *lol*
4. I'm a total cat person, and can't wait for our new house to be built so we can get one. But my son, although only 4 yrs old, is NOT a cat person, and does not want one. He, however, pleads for a dog! He must be a dog-lover by birth!
5. I love to cook, but have to do it on my own, I get really annoyed if I'm cooking with someone. I have to pull myself together not to get real b!%%!# towards whoever I cook with. So most times I ask to be left alone lol
 
THX for putting that song into my head Amy!! LOL
