100 Thingamabobs

1.  I have a severe aversion to food with a “squishy” texture. Won’t eat anything I deem squishy.
2. I used to detest Uggs and I now have a pair. (I bought them when we went to Baltimore during the snowpocalypse-really the only time they’re okay.)
3. I love to read and do so all the time. I love books. You will rarely find me without one nearby.
4. As far as books go, I have an obsession. I cannot go to the bookstore without buying books. I have a whole shelf-full I haven’t read but it’s like I get this weird fear that if I don’t buy it now than I will never ever see it again.
5. I hate to drive with a specific destination and refuse to navigate. I prefer to arrive thru no effort on my own part.
6. I love to wash clothes and fold them but I hate, hate, hate putting them away.
7. I loathe wearing bras and will do pretty much anything to avoid it. Chances are if it’s strapless, fitted, and no nipple protruding issue (this applies to more articles of clothing then you think) I am not wearing one.

8. I could care less about discussing politics or religion. I respect that people are entitled to their own opinion and don’t feel the need to change their minds. Crazy thought, I know.
9. Any sort of abbreviations annoy me to no end-lol, ttyl, lmao, ok-they are like nails on a chalkboard to me.
10. It really agitates me when people post pictures they have taken of cool places/things and don’t label what/where they are.
11. I’ve never done the whole kiddie music thing-bratchild has always listened to whatever I am.

 
12. It seriously irritates me when people misuse there/their/they’re and you’re/your and where/were/wear etc.
13. I have never broken a bone or sprained anything. With as klutzy as I am I really don’t know how that’s possible. I probably just doomed myself.
14. I love to be near the water-pools, lakes, beaches but the only water I like to actually get in is a pool.  I have a thing with water I can’t see the bottom of.
15. I am way more artistic than most people know and pretty good at the whole drawing/painting thing. I’ve done some furniture for bratchild that looks pretty freakin’ good.
16. I totally think what goes around comes around. In some cases, I wish it would hurry on up.
17. I have a severe shoe addiction. I honestly can’t tell you how many pairs I have and quite a few have never been worn-I just couldn’t pass them up. I know there’s over 100-the shame.
18. I have always had crazy vivid bright colored dreams and most of them involve water or flying (not in a plane, just on my own)
19. I love, love, love planning events, which works out good as it’s my job and I’ve done a lot of it in the community. I love all the chaos and fixing last minute things that could go wrong.
20. I love, love, love my job(s)

21. In both of them, I pretty much get paid to talk to people. (Again, I am NOT a hooker OR a stripper)

22.  I can’t get enough of cocktail dresses and evening gowns. Literally, I have a closet full. I have a bunch with tags on because I just buy them when I find one I like and on sale rather than trying to buy them for something specific. Works out much better.

23.  I have the most amazing husband and kid.

24.   I have been known to make pb&j while wearing an evening gown.

25.   My hubs is the only guy I’ve ever been involved with that I actually feel is smart and capable enough to make decisions and plan things.

26.  Winter makes me lazy. So does summer.

27.  I lurvvvveee stores that send thank you notes.

28.  Basically my peak activity times are spring or fall.

29.  I hate cats, they make my asthma act up and cause a thick, jelly-like coating to form on my eyeballs.

30.  Dance remixes make me homicidal..

31. I really want to take ballroom dancing lessons with my husband but I think he worries I will get overly competitive and compulsive and he’ll end up wearing a sparkly pink tux.

32.  When I was younger, there were several years where I could only eat like 3 foods because I was allergic to everything else.

33.  Sparkly really is my favorite color.

34.  Aimlessly roaming around stores by myself relaxes me.

35.  I can’t stand fake stuff. Flowers, jewelry, designer knock-offs, people…Obvious costume jewelry is one thing and I don’t think you have to have designer stuff by any means but if I can’t have the real thing, I don’t want it.

36.  I think you should be allowed to shoot out the tires of people driving the speed limit (or close to it) in the passing lane.

37.  Every time I go in Victoria’s Secret, they argue with me about my bra size and think I am smaller than I am. Then they measure me and tell me I’m right.

38.  When I was in high school everyone said I looked like Shannon Doherty.

39.  I won’t eat jello, even with booze in it.

40.   I love polka dots

41.  In high school, there were times I wore Birks and socks. Truly.

42.  I set up a fb page for J since people always asked why he didn’t have one and now he never checks it.

43.  2 ridiculous fears? Shower curtains and slugs.

44.  Real fears? I get too spastic/stressed out so I pretty much don’t talk about them. Except to J. He’s so much calmer and more rational than I am. Sometimes I get really frustrated being married to such a nice person.

45.  I am convinced round chicken nuggets and rectangle ones taste different and will only eat the rectangular ones.

46.   I can’t stand not having nail clips handy.

47.  I can’t use other people’s nail polish-I have to take my own when I go get pedicures.

48.  I can never find sunglasses, keys, or my cell phone.

49.  Am addicted to rosebud salve.

50.   I almost never ever read instructions. I prefer the figuring it out method.

51.   I really enjoy using my clothes steamer.

52.  I have a thing for odd numbers-I don’t like groupings of even numbers. I have 8 Jerry Brown face jugs. 7 are on the mantle and I had to put 1 upstairs by itself. I would really like a small Josh Simpson planet-I have three bigger ones. But if I get 1 more, I’d have to get 2 more.

53.  I don’t like different kinds of food to touch each other.  And I eat all of one item before moving to the next

54.  But I like casseroles which the hubs doesn’t understand at all.

55.  I have been known to lounge around the house in pj’s, a feather boa, tiara, and heels. My dad came over the other day and I had on plaid pj pants and sparkly heels.

56.   Online shopping is hard for me, I’m all about the instant gratification.

57.  I don’t like people “helping” me shop. I just want someone there to ring me up when I am done. Or get me sizes.

58.  J and I couldn’t stand each other when we first met, I guess way back in 2004 now. I can’t even place the first couple times we met and he said he didn’t really talk to me cause I was intimidating and “too pretty”. My first memory is the kilt flashing incident when we both were pissed off at the other one.

59.  I have been enamored of one shoulder tops and dresses for years, long before it was popular. I still think it’s my best look.

60.  I absolutely positively didn’t want a blackberry. J surprised me with one and I am now addicted to it. My first day with it I had my first “black-cident”. I fell over a parking space divider while walking and surfing the internet.

61.  I totally don’t get people that don’t read. I think there’s something wrong with them.

62.   I have always been fundamentally opposed to James Patterson, Nicholas Sparks, and all those other crap-thors. But I just bought Sundays at Tiffany’s. Diamonds and imaginary friends-what’s bad about that?

63.   I think it’s funny that Stephen King is trashing Stephanie Meyer-does he even write his own books anymore?

64.  For as long as I can remember I have had the dream of meeting the Indigo Girls and singing one song on stage with them. (I don’t have a song preference, I pretty much know them all) J is pretty worried if I ever get close to them, it’s going to result in a restraining order.

65.  When I am getting ready to go somewhere-fixing hair and makeup-I have imaginary interviews with myself. Should I ever become famous-I have answers for everything.

66.  I can’t watch any sports other than rugby and hockey.

67.  I love planning weddings-if I get could married once a year, I totally would.

68.  In college, I took a few photography courses and my instructor always told me I should do it for a job. I just did it for fun and really loved developing my own film and making prints and the like. I’m not as crazy about digital photography.

69.  I’m big on asking forgiveness rather than permission-it’s a combo of my lack of patience and feeling that a lot of rules are pointless.

70.  I love to travel but hate to fly. It’s not even hating to fly, I actually enjoy flying-it’s the whole having no control over where my luggage is and when I get somewhere that drives me nuts. (Surprised? I’m very overly organized. I make spreadsheets for vacations for god sakes and generally have a plan for every day. I even plan “off” days. As in, today we can just hang out by the pool) Every time J drops me off at the airport he suggests I don’t antagonize the TSA.

71.  I think I may be a slight control freak. Possibly. Maybe just a little.

72.   I’ve never played a team sport-ever.

73.   I love to sit up on the fainting couch by the window of my pink closet room and read.

74.  There’s nothing I would rather do than hang out with the kid and the guy I live with.

75.  I really love Mexico

76.  I can never choose just one thing, it’s impossible. Like favorites-I can do a top three but not select just one.

77.  I know EXACTLY how lucky I am and am beyond grateful.

78.  I wanted a boob job until J agreed with it and then I was pissed.

79.  I always think I am technically challenged but then I figure stuff out and surprise myself.

80.  I have a character on poptropica.com. It’s Smart Octopus. Bratchild made me play and it’s a little addicting. It’s also geared towards the under 13 set so not sure what that says about me.

81.  I accidentally lied earlier. My finger has been broken. But I didn’t do it, the dog did.

82.  I fall down lots, but it’s usually up the stairs.

83.  Naps make me cranky.

84.  I get seasick. And car sick if it’s hot and we’re driving in circles.

85.  I had to practice forever to look “good” in photos.

86.  I’m not sure how I feel about this upcoming having to dial the area code for local calls.

87.  I’ve been called a blend of Julia and Suzanne Sugarbaker.

88.  I have a preference for how I like coke. Glass bottle is best, then fountain, 2-litre, can and lastly is the dreaded 20 oz bottle

89.  I have a weird thing for poppy rap music, jay-Z, lil jon, nelly, flo rida, etc

90.  I can actually kind of sing

91.  I will totally have a published book one day

92.  And then I’ll have a hairdresser and a driver.

93.  I’ve always wanted minions.

94.  The hubs says I have them and it’s him.

95.  I am excellent in a crisis. I immediately go into fix mode-and I’m good at it. Wedding-day crisis or accidental on-purpose homicide? I’m your gal. Plus, I have a big husband who’s good at looming or shoveling.

96.  I pull the cheese off pizza. I would be cool with cheeseless pizza.

97.  My right foot is at least half a size smaller than my left.

98.  I weeded crappy people out of my life and have started spending times with awesome ones.

99.  I want to perform in a musical.

100. I totally started wearing headbands because of Blair on Gossip Girl.
