A list of randomness about the original wicked cool Mainer responsible for these Mainiacs:
- I have a security blanket called blankie. It is not the same blanket I had as a baby, over the course of 30 years there have been many versions. There is really only one criteria, satin lining. I am not even a little ashamed of it and if you come over you will inevitably see it sitting on the couch or wrapped around my neck.
- I pick my kid's noses, frequently.
- Eating is something I do because I have to. I don't mean that in an "I have an eating disorder" sort of way - I just don't enjoy eating and/or food and would rather watch TV or google Hugh Jackman.
- I had a miscarriage. It sucked.
- I am convinced that some combination of Cooks Extra Dry Champagne and sleep deprivation has permanently destroyed my short term memory.
- I never pay full price and will not hesitate to embarrass you while we are out to dinner by busting out a coupon.
- I am only attracted to taller-than-average men and have never dated anyone under 6'2", despite the fact that I am only 5'3". I know that tall women everywhere just vowed to never again read my blog.
- I can't spell to save my life and am a terrible self editor. I guarantee you will find at least one typo in every post, despite the fact that I read them all no less than a dozen times.
- I am in love with Hugh Jackman but don't ever want to meet him because I know I would pee my pants or throw up.
- I REALLY hate throwing up.
- I smoke a cigarette once or twice a year even though I am way too smart to do something so stupid. I love every minute of it.
- I have a crush on Micheal Phelps, not to be confused with the true love I have for Hugh, and have it on high authority (in my imagination) that he reads my blog.
- I talk really loudly and shush my husband - who is not at all a loud talker.
- I hate touching other peoples dirty dishes, including my family's. Even the thought of it makes me gag. Dirty diapers on the other hand do not bother me in the least.
- I knew with every fiber of my being that Lily was a girl long before any sonographer announced her gender.
- I am an above-average candle pin bowler.
- I like to fix things and am in general pretty handy around the house.
- My least favorite sound in the entire world is the sound of other people chewing or swallowing. It doesn't just gross me out, it makes me angry. In Hell I would be forced to listen to other people eat and then made to clean up their plates.
- During my first pregnancy I was diagnosed with elevated AFP (Alpha-fetoprotein). Lily's diagnosis after countless visits to the pediatric radiology department, Spina Bifida Occulta. (feel free to contact me with questions, I have done more than my share of research and would be happy to help if I can)
- I am allergic to the oils in black pepper corns and get a rash if I eat or touch them.
- I know every word to The Grinch and am super annoying to watch it with because I say every line out loud.
- I believe I caught an anxiety disorder from the dog.
I don't think I actually knew how much you hated people chewing or swallowing. That explains why random talks in our kitchen only involved wine and not food and wine. ;-)
ReplyDeleteMy god, you admitted that you, April Victoria, speak loudly, it's not just me all the time! And she probably hates the chewing thing because mom and I are so horrible at it.
