25 random things about me.

1. I am a fruit snob. I will only eat an apple if is has zero blemishes and I hate eating grapes that are even a little bit soft. I'm not proud of it...

2. I am usually on the opposite side of the "things husband's do that bug wives" list. I leave my clothes on the floor and I push the toothpaste up from the middle...I don't do much cooking, and I don't really mind a messy house. I could go on.

3. I am a horrible listener, but great at pretending to be listening.

4. I hate telephone "goodbyes" and I wish all phone conversations could be like the ones on TV. Both parties know when the conversation is over, and they just hang up.

5. I swear I have a case of ADD (kinda goes with the horrible listener thing) because I have a very hard time focusing on one task.

6. I love to sew, but I tend to try to skip steps if at all possible, resulting in imperfect work. My mother would be ashamed.

7. I was married on May 6, 2006 in Louisville, Kentucky on Derby Day. And no, the traffic wasn't terrible, but yes, it was hard to get a hotel anywhere near Louisville. We spent that night in Richmond instead.

8. My little girl was born on Independence Day, 2008, exactly when I was hoping she would come. She continues to make me the luckiest Mom in the world.

9. I love to sing and have a pretty good voice, but I'm afraid I'll lose it soon because I never use it.

10. I have curly hair that I hate 6 out of 7 days of the week.

11. I got into a motorcycle accident going 5 mph.

12. I used to not like chocolate before I got pregnant.

13. I have really small ears, and really big feet.

14. I rarely shake people's hands because my hands are usually extremely sweaty. Don't take it personally.

15. I am always worrying about what people think of me...especially when I've said something stupid. (which I do a lot)

16. My family moved 13 times before I graduated High School.

17. I have a thing for socks. Most likely because my feet sweat as much as my hands...if not, more. I hate wearing sunday shoes for that very reason.

18. I hate my chin.

19. I have a thing for peeling the skin off of someone else's sunburn. I'm sorry if that grosses you out.

20. I love to put together puzzles, but won't do the same puzzle more than once.

21. I'm a decent ping pong player.

22. I played tennis all through High School. I'm okay...

23. The last time I went to the beach when we lived in Florida, I got sea lice and have hated the beach ever since. I much prefer a pool or water park.

24. I love water and snow skiing, but haven't done either in at least 3 years.

25. Today at least, I love being a Mom.
