I did this at facebook because several people tagged me. But I thought, why not blog it? Now it may seem easy to find 25 things people don’t know about you, but it really isn’t. In fact most that read my blog already know most anything I’d say. Clearly, I need to be more mysterious. So we’re going to pretend noone knows some of these.
1. I’m a lefty. Now, surprisingly, this also makes me somewhat ambidextrous. When I was perfecting my motor skills, the school supplies were made right handed. So were the desks in Senior High. I do all my fine motor skill requiring stuff with my left hand, but throw, drive, punch, etc with my right.
2. I have seasonal allergies. But unlike most people, my sinuses are not effected, there’s no sneezing or watery eyes. My ears itch and get congested.
3. Everything I’ve learned about computers, websites, and photography is self taught. I’ve never had a single class for any of it. Matter of fact, they were just starting computer skills in my Junior year of high school. I always figured it didn’t matter that I didn’t take them. By the time I needed them the lessons would have been outdated.
4. I did not own a computer until 2000.
5. I literally have cried over spilled milk. It is absolutely normal for me to freak out over the tiniest of issues. Yet when a big issue is put in my way, I can deal with it confidently and effectively. Example, if my husband goes to the field for a week it drives me crazy. When he was deployed for a year I trooped right through. And even when that tour was extended for 4 months, after the initial shock I handled that too.
6. I hate the phone. Anyone that calls here during one of my moods probably thinks i’m a complete bitch. I’m not, I just hate the phone. Which is something relatively new, because it never bothered me before. It’s only started in the last couple years.
7. I still get goosebumps and butterflies when my husband is due home from work at the end of the day.
8. I can’t stand any chocolate that isn’t Hersheys.
9. I actually understand, and can follow the game of football.
10. I never went to college, and to this day don’t regret it.
11. I never wanted to be anything other than a wife and mom. Drove my guidance counselors crazy.
12. I hate driving. HATE it. I don’t mean I just prefer not to, I mean if I don’t have to I absolutely won’t. I still won’t drive off the army post we live on.
13. I didn’t get my drivers license until I was 30.
14. I have an iPod, and iTunes, and I STILL prefer buying the CD’s that I want. There’s just something satisfying about holding the case and artwork in your hands. Bonus: it costs us less than downloading since there’s four of us:P
15. I’m thin, yet horribly out of shape.
16. I still love the 80′s hair bands. Brett Michaels, Jon Bon Jovi…yummmmm
17. I love techie gadgets.
18. Rainy weather makes me miserable. even if it’s just dark and gray out. However living in Alaska the dark months didn’t bother me at all, because the sun still came out for a couple hours. Washington is harder, because it’s dreary alot more of the time.
19. I have done major repairs on my own vehicle.
20. I slept with a blankie until it fell apart (OK it disintegrated) in my 20′s.
21. I love World War 2 movies and documentaries.
22. I actually have a pattern for the green party dress Scarlett O’hara wore to the Wilkes’ Barbeque.
23. I cannot sew.
24. Even after seven years of army wifery I fail at 24 hour time.
25. this list has taken me 4 days to write!!
