I’m extending my
Facebook life to my blog for the moment. I am incapable of telling things in a
short, concise way. I love words too much. So I liked multiple of these “Things
You Don’t Know About Me” lists, and then proceeded to ignore the numbers people
gave me. I figured I would finally hop on the bandwagon though because it has
been fun for me to read other people’s facts. I got all sorts of numbers from
21 to 7 to 14 to 2 so I am splitting the difference and doing 10!
1) Everyone keeps
telling me that I will feel the need to have a baby as I age, but it is
actually working in the opposite direction for me. The older I get, the less I
want a baby. The older I get, the happier I get, the more content with my life,
the closer to my husband I grow, and I know nothing of this biological clock
that people speak of.
2) I have about one
handful of actual, really close
friends. I have a lot of friends, but I
took it to heart once when I read that it was more important to have a small,
reliable circle than a large, flakey circle. Plus, my family is so huge that
through my cousins, I have countless amounts of friends and support.
3) I have many, many
treasured Christmas memories, but my absolute favorite holiday was last year
when we decided to forgo buying gifts, cooking big dinners, and the stress of
creating the perfect holiday, and instead took a vacation. What I learned was that TIME was the absolute best gift we can give our loved ones.
Time away from the world, with no cell phones, no computers, no distractions,
but rather glorious sun, a beautiful ocean, constant laughter, and
conversations to renew connections established so many years ago we’d forgotten
them. I would spend every holiday in my
life like that one.
4) I absolutely hate how
cliché this sounds, so I don’t say it often, but I didn’t know what real, true,
healthy love felt like until My Douggie came into my life.
5) I love to visit. Not in the travel and go somewhere to spend
time with you sense, but in the sit down, let an entire afternoon pass us by,
engage in non-stop hours of chatting kind of visit.
6) I legitimately ponder
on a fairly regular basis (any time I see one) why “selfies” are the most
flattering photos. Anyone?
7) I have a burning
desire to learn how to crochet. Or knit. Because I don’t know the difference.
But I would like to make wonderful, glorious Afghans for cozying up in.
8) I love a good scandal
or conspiracy theory, but only when it doesn’t directly touch or threaten my
life. I suppose it’s a shameful thing to admit! The bunker under DIA, Area 51,
The Royals possibly arranging Princess Di’s car “accident,” the list goes on
and on!
9) I never, ever know
lyrics to songs. I think I know them, I sing them, and then I am always, always
wrong. For example, the line goes, “I
love rock and roll, so put another dime and in the juke box baby.” I sing, “I
love rock and roll, so shake and wiggle to the hip hop baby.” This entire
statement is invalid when referring to Eminem: my guilty pleasure. I am not
joking when I tell you I can rap every word right along with him. Less than a handful of people have heard me
spitting rhymes, but they are a lucky few!
10) I desperately want
to move to The South. My husband would
rather die, but Georgia, North Carolina, Tennessee, Alabama…they’re calling my
name!!!
