Random Facts

~I love, love, love music.  I listen to a pretty wide variety of music and don't really have one favorite genre.  My favorite band of all time is Queen.

~Grilled cheese and applesauce is one of my favorite comfort food combinations.  An awesome grilled cheese sandwich dipped in applesauce is like a slice of heaven to me.

~I hate feet.  Don't touch my feet and don't touch me with your feet.  I will never get a pedicure because they freak me out.  My husband has to wear socks because I squirm if he touches me with his bare feet.  The only feet I like are baby feet...and even that is pushing it.

~I smoked for ten years.  And I enjoyed it.  I have been smoke free for almost five years now.  I didn't quit because I wanted to.  I quit because I had to.  Quit smoking or run the risk of developing cervical cancer at 26?  I think I chose wisely.

~I am obsessed with purses.  Especially Coach purses.  I can't go into any store without looking at the purse section.  It's like my sporting goods section. 

~My feet grew a size when I started having babies.  No one told me that this could happen but it did.  I thought that it was just from all of the swelling I had during my first pregnancy but they did not shrink back after.  So now I'm a size 8.

~I love to host parties.  I should have been an event planner because I'm pretty good at it.  I love to cook for people and I love to entertain. 

~I'm a sad movie person.  Any movie that gives me a good cry is ok with me.  It's weird right?  I don't know why I'm so drawn to sad movies.  The Curious Case of Benjamin Button is one of the saddest movies I have ever seen and I cry every single time I watch it.  And yet I always watch it if it's on.  Seven Pounds, The Odd Life of Timothy Green, The Notebook, Ghost, Meet Joe Black, Steel Magnolias.  I could watch these movies over and over and over again.

~I don't like to watch all those sad movies when my husband is around because he will 1. yell at me for watching such a sad movie 2. make fun of me for crying at the sad movie.  He's more of a comedy movie kind of guy.

~I don't like gummy things.  Swedish fish, gummy bears, Dots gummies.  All gross.  Mostly because I hate when anything is stuck in my teeth.

~Speaking of teeth, I'm weird about them.  It's usually the first thing I notice about a person.  I had crooked teeth as a child and I didn't get braces until I was an adult.  I had my two front teeth broken as a kid and had them bonded and finally crowned when I got older.  I've had a lot of dental work done and my husband and I used to joke about my $6,000 smile because that's about the total cost of all the dental work I've had done, including braces.  And yet I haven't been to the dentist in like two years.  Go me.

~I'm not sure how I feel about God.  I wasn't raised with religion other than my Grandmother taking me to church with her every once in a while.  My husband is very religious, and I started attending church for him.  We regularly attend church and we attend a small group study every week.  I'm a see it to believe it kind of person so the whole concept of faith is hard for me.  I do think it's all very fascinating and I'm learning a lot but I'm just not sure where I stand with all of it.  I always have a million questions and no one every seems to be able to answer them.  I'm honestly hoping for some kind of clarity in all of it, though.  Limbo is no fun in the faith department.
