Oh these are great! It's so fun to learn more about everyone. I even had a few surprises from some of you that I've known for a long time.

1. I really, really hate having my feet touched. I even wear socks to bed in case DH's feet bump into mine. I do get pedicures but it is pretty much an act of endurance every single time.
2. I am a ridiculous insomniac and have been my entire life.
3. I was voted "Most Likely To Succeed" in High School
4. My kids are 8 years apart because of recurrent miscarriage, which causes a lot of nosy questions. The most frequent one is "Do they have the same father?" Purely because I think that's rude to ask, I often answer, "I'm not sure." (Ha. For the record, they DO have the same father. Happily married to him for 16 years.)
5. I am an avid book work and read an entire book almost every single day. (That's what I do instead of sleep. See #2)

1. My hubs and I have adopted 7 kids, I always wanted 12, but am done. (I think)
2. I lost 80 pounds this year! Rather proud, I did it thru good diet and exercise.
3. My whole life I have wanted an orange cat, we got one for 8 days, and it ran away!
4. I love, I mean love HOT dry weather!
5. I really really really love Mirjam and the Lily pad and so hope that she stays here forever!! ♥

Okay. Well then. If I had liked mushrooms before now, I would certainly have some issues with them ...
 
I am pretty insane but thats a given.

1. I HATE mirrors to be facing outward at night. I turn them around or hang a towel over them.
2. I am terrified of puppets, garden gnomes, clowns, and the scream dude mask.
3. I hate cuddling. I feel clustered and caged in. I tend to make hubby sad with this as he is in fact a cuddler. Sometimes I do have to give in and cuddle so he doesn't think it's him. That really makes me twitchy.
4. I have never seen Star Wars. Ever. Any of them.
5. I have all 4 of my wisdom teeth. Yes they hurt on occasion.

i need to reread the thorn birds.

1. most people think i'm really organized, but the reality is i'm really not.
2. i can not get anything done without a list - my short term memory is shot.
3. ketchup on hot dogs freaks me out - reminds me of bloody fingers.
4. i'm currently obsessed with our kitten so much so that i didn't want to go away over christmas break and when we did i contemplated driving home in a snowstorm just to see him and be sure he was ok.
5. i had a neuroma removed in my right foot. i really can't feel anything in that area - no nerve. so i have to wear orthotics and have to be careful that my toes aren't pinched because it takes me a long time to feel pain in my toes.
 
I get seasick at the drop of a hat... (not much fun when there is a stretch of water between you and most of your family!)

I hate spinach/silverbeet with a vengeance though have a whole pile of it in the garden (for the chickens only)

5. My knees and toes crack when I walk.
 
love reading these fun things about you all!!!
ummm random things about me ... lets see ....

1. I was nicknamed Sunshine when I was in the Army Reserve because I thought the whole thing was a hoot and I went about grinning at everyone and laughing ALL the time (even during a live fire exercise when I got to fire an anti-tank weapon into a truck weeeeee!)
2. I lived in Papua New Guinea for 2 years and I didn't wear shoes at school, consequently I HATE shoes!
3. I have monocular vision ..... so I can only see through one eye at a time which means I can't see 3-D or look through binoculars ... which has led me to being very .....
4. VERY accident prone, in fact I stabbed myself in the thigh with a carving knife a few years ago (that caused a few questions at the doctors I can tell you!)
5. I sing all the time, I love the sound of my own voice ROFL
 
Amanda why does # 5 not surprise me in the least?

Oh and damn I could just see the look on the drs face at a stabbing victim turning up and fessing up to doing it herself... you were lucky you didn't spend time in a nice quiet room with a huggy jacket to keep you company...

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.

I am like that too! I warn them at restaurants that if I feel something fatty or crunchy in my mouth while eating the meat they served me I will spit it out half chewed and all directly no matter who's watching! BLECH!

Purely because I think that's rude to ask, I often answer, "I'm not sure."

That made me snort too and also made me think of my sis who used to work in a clothing store. She's got VERY big boobs and SO many people made comments about them or kept staring at them. One day a lady said to her that she should have surgery and my sis looked up at her and told her: Duh...I did!
In fact she was often very sad about these remarks she actually did go to a surgeon at the age of 21 but he told her a surgey would leave nasty marks and since she didn't have backpains or anything she decided to just try to live with them and the way people react.

Amanda
I managed to tear a muscle while brushing my teeth! I stuck the brush too deep in my mouth while I was bent down over the sink. I gagged and voila! Tore a muscle. My doctor still brings it up each time I visit him!
 
good grief Mirjam! you tore a muscle brushing your teeth! I feel your pain! I cracked my neck when I sneezed while brushing my teeth - I tried to stop spitting all over the mirror mid-sneeze and ended up having physio for a month LOL ... now I know just let it rip and damn the mirror! what a pair we are!
 
hmmm....

1. I used to be trolley dolly for 14 years... (I was much much slimmer then)
2. My friends call me Queen B... B for b#@%h ... As I am Beautiful, Intelligent, Talented, Charming, Honest
3. I have no favorite food, place, colors, Basically I'm indecisive and I can't make up my mind what I like....
4. I HATE NUMBERS but I'm a Sales Manager...
5. I HATE going to the gym (It makes me feel intimated as the people there have awesome and crazy fit bod) but I am working in a fitness centre...
 
Wow! I wish I could read a book a week LOL! You must be a fast reader!
