Is that title from a movie? I can't really remember…
I had so much fun with my “About Me” section; I decided to do another “25 fun facts.” I have been keeping a list in the notes section of my phone for several weeks now. I think I have enough tidbits to make a post…
1. I love the smell of Christmas trees. I light Christmas tree scented candles in every season. “Beware,” if it is Christmas time and you have a real tree, I will probably absentmindedly pick needles or branches off your tree and sit there smelling them. Keep the vacuum handy.
2. I am a crazy packer; my mind sees my obstacle as a giant puzzle. I love the challenge to utilize space as best as possible.
3. I like things organized and clean, but you would never know that from my living space. I organize things into categories and when something doesn’t fit I really don’t know what to do with it. Organization is one of my arch nemeses.
4. I have a teddy bear named Arnold. I have had him since before I was born. True story, he has been to more places in this world then some humans. I think Arnold will sit out the race though. Babysitting applications welcome.
5. A good way to tell I am stressed, besides the fact that I will either lose all my belongings or lock my keys in my car; I will have at least 3 pieces of gum in my mouth and probably be chopping it very loudly.
6. I used to want to be an Olympic bobsledder, I blame Cool Runnings. I will make it to Lake Placid to give it a whirl one of these days.
7. I used to have a tongue ring. I went to a clown convention and 100 clowns were waiting in the lobby to welcome me, in unison they said, “Heawoo Yeanne” in mockery of the tongue ring. I still can’t live that one down.
8. DARE traumatized me.
9. I can’t spell, I check my spelling constantly, If I am honest I am pretty insecure about my lack of spelling abilities. Massachusetts gets me every time.
10. I think “D words” are the Devil and I often rebuke them in the name of Jesus. (There are some good “D words” I am aware my Jr. high yg girls have reminded me of this. )
11. I am addicted to fresh popped popcorn. I have made my students popcorn addicts as well. We make popcorn at least 2 days a week.
12. I love nicknames. If you don’t have one then we probably aren’t really friends. (half jk)
13. I hate lotion on my palms. I thought this was normal. I put it on the back of my hands and rub them together.
14. I love books, or should I say I love the concept of books and buying them. I have enough books to probably last me the rest of my life. I often start more then 1 at a time and get overwhelmed that I am not reading them fast enough.
15. To “Piggyback” off of 14, sometimes I start a book at 10 PM and stay up all night reading it. Occasionally I will do this on a “School night” and take a couple hour “nap” before work.
16. I love naps.
17. Kardashian marathons and my parents couch are definitely what you would call a “Guilty pleasure.”
18. I’m not a huge fan of “terms of endearment.” Unless you’re my mom you should not be calling me “Hon or sweetie.”
19. I often forget I like things and then force myself to do them only to remember, “Oh I really like this.” Example: running
20. I am a big “Eyeroll” culprit. It has become so subconscious. I might try fasting the “Eyeroll.” I think it might be boarderline judgmental.
21. I only do laundry when I run out of socks. I love socks, they need to be tight and feel the same on both my feet. Its weird, I know, we all have our “Sensory issues.”
22. I think I was 22 when I learned that you couldn’t die from pushing hard on both temples at the same time.
23. I have a love/hate relationship with the ocean. I love it: the magnitude, the waves, how refreshing it is on a hot summer’s day. I hate how it houses sharks. I am not a huge fan of sharks.
24. I love my birthday and surprises!
25. I love flowers, especially pretty ones. I love things that grow; I can’t wait to have a garden. I need a gardening mentor. I also want chickens.
