33 Things

Today I turn 33 and thought it would be fun to share 33 things you might not know about me :)

1 - I refused to even try avocados until about 3 years ago.  I tried guacamole one day and the rest is history.  #alltheguac

2 - You couldn't pay me to watch a scary movie.

3 - I have to be under the covers at all times otherwise I feel totally insecure.

4 - I have to have one leg out of the covers at all times.

5 - I get REALLY high fevers.

6 - I performed a lobotomy on my frog in high school biology and my teacher kept that brain in a jar on his desk for the rest of my high school career.  #goals

7 - I HATE it when people rest their head on my shoulder.

8 - If I could eat everything on a sectioned plate I would.

9 - I hate volleyball.  Hate it.

10 - If it was socially acceptable to go to work without makeup I totally would.

11 - In 4th grade we had to choreograph a dance in our PE class.  Ours was to "I Saw The Sign" and I was relegated to the back since I couldn't do a split.  #tragic

12 - I can hold my breath a really long time.  Like... the length of our pool, back and then back again. 

13 - I got my ears pierced when I was a flower girl for a wedding (I think I was around 5) and then they grew over.  I had them "re-pierced" with a safety pin in the bathroom of a middle school dance.

14 - I'm not a Beyonce fan.  At all.

15 - I used to buy ad space and design billboards.

16 - My car is either ridiculously messy or insanely clean.  There is no middle ground.

17 - I feel awful for people when they have a cough.  But I'm not sure that a more annoying sound exists :)

18 - RV vacations are some of my fondest and most fun childhood memories.

19 - I love a good Sunday afternoon nap.

20 - I had my appendix removed in the 5th grade

21 - That's the only time I've ever been hospitalized other than to have my babies

22 - All three of my babies came on their own before their due date

23 - When I was little I always wanted to break a bone and "get" to wear a cast - so much so that my brother and I would jump off our playset in hopes of fracturing something. :)

24 - I was never the girl with posters from "teen beat" up on my walls... but I vividly remember my cousin having a crumpled up picture of one of the members of New Kids on the Block under her pillow :)

25 - I hate using matches.  I'm always afraid of burning myself and will use one of those big long fireplace lighters for everything.

26 - Blue is my least favorite color.  I wish that I loved blue because I think it's so pretty in other people's homes.  But I just can't get behind it myself.

27 - Cheez-Its, Goldfish Crackers and those orange square crackers with peanut butter in the middle are awful.

28 - I can't believe I'm even admitting this - because as an adult I understand how vulgar the song is - but I used to JAM out to Ignition by R.Kelly.

29 - I took Latin for 3 years of High School and I'm not sure it helped me at all on my SAT.

30 - I take the crusts off my sandwiches

31 - If I have a giant to-do-list I either ROCK it out or totally shut down and do absolutely nothing.

32 - I hate having my kids zip up my zippers on hoodies or jackets.  I think I have PTSD from having teachers zip my snow suit up really fast and catch my skin when I lived in Canada.

33 - I once applied for and got a job at a new local seafood restaurant.  This would have worked out perfectly except I can't stand the taste, sight or smell of seafood.  I quit the first day of training.

Happy Wednesday, Friends!!!
