Brittany from 4 Little Men and Girly Twins tagged me for a meme. Usually I don't join in because memes bother me for some reason. I think it's that they're a bit too narcissistic for my liking, but Brittany is a good bloggy friend and she's a fellow red head, so here we go:
16 random facts about me.... (which is 16 more than you ever wanted or needed to know.)
I bite my lips. A lot. Especially after applying chapstick.
I hate doing my nails. It's such a time waster in my books. I do love a good manicure, though.
I've used the dishwasher a total of 2 times in my entire life. Until this week. I now employ it daily; I need all the help I can get with our new crazy and very tiring schedule.
I secretly wish I could have a redo of my wedding.
When I am tired, like really really tired, I get the non-stop giggles. This can go on for hours. I wake up with sore abs.
I want a Concept2 Model D rower so bad I can taste it.
(Man! I've only written six and I'm totally over myself!)
I love to shop. Especially food shopping. Love it, love it. I would do it for a living, if I could!
I have a beauty mark (Read: mole. at least it's a Marilyn Monroe type mole.) above my lip. I've had it ever since I was a baby. There is a good view of it in my latest self-portrait.
I adore pudding, especially chocolate pudding. (The chocolate part was a real surprise, now wasn't it!)
I can not own a pet. I get very obsessive about animal hair and dirt in my house. I have conceded to a fish only because their dirt is contained. And you can forget to feed them for a few days and they won't die.
My secret wish is to re-learn ballet. I dream of someday owning a house that has a room set aside just for me to dance in. Skylights, surround sound, french doors with billowing white curtains, the works. Oh, and it will be the most beautiful shade of buttercream you have ever seen.
I am terrible, TERRIBLE, at small talk.
(Okay, phew! I'm at 12. Only 4 more to go. Stick with me, people.)
I think a good garage sale is one of the best things that a Saturday morning has to offer.
I am a bit of a germaphobe. (Daniel would say: A bit?! And I would reply: Fine! I am a big freaking germaphobe!!)(I was trying not to scare you all off by telling you the whole truth about me and my obsession with germs.)
(Only 2 more to go!)
I don't really like red wine, though I did drink an amazing one a couple of weeks ago at Tarrah's house. It was called 337 and I bought it at Whole Foods for 12.99.
If I ate refined sugar I would subside on cow tails and butterfingers. And the occasional package of skittles.
Hey!! You made it! Me too. Now you know all kinds of stuff about me.
This was fun! Thanks for tagging me, Brittany!
If it tickles your fancy, tell me something random about YOU!

22 Comments:
my random fact (more for other readers, since you already know this LOL) is that I have known you for about 24 years, give or take. That's a long time!
AND I just recently found the most awesome cookbook we made in kindy, and we all did recipes, and I think yours was hot dogs. You've come a long way, baby ;)
I'll have to get that scanned for you asap, if you aren't lucky enough to have a copy :P
PS mine was steak, what the? I hate steak, HA!
My goal in high school was to be a child psychologist. HA! With six kids I guess I kind of am!! But I'm also nuts ~ go figure. :0)
My random fact is that I am a 'closet blog reader.' I've been reading your blog for several months and have never introduced myself. So, now that I am out there...HI! I'm Ali. A missionary mom living in Ghana, West Africa.
Something random. It has only just occurred to me, while reading about your longing to relearn ballet, that you were most likely in that ballet class with Mrs Summers back in... the winter of 1992? I was about 7 years old and was in that montage of pink class for the little ones. Along with Miriam Deir. I had a flash of a photo go through my head - a tall her in the back row of the older girl's class - at the final recital. And I swear to you, it's you! Along on that adventure were Sarah and Rachel Grout, Earon Miller and her younger sister and a bunch of others. Am I dreaming?
But anyways - a random fact about ME (not a 17th for you) - is that I once helped butcher pigs because the youth group was asked to come help. I took this to me the "entire" youth group. And I was the only girl who showed up. I've seen the whole process, and helped with most of it. I also still ATE pork at the youth group BBQ later that year. I was one of only a few girls who did. Every other girl there swore they'd be a vegetarian once they saw the thing on the spit roast.
:)
the weirdest thing happened to me while i was reading this, and I swear to you it has NOTHING to do with the fact that susie said almost the SAME thing. I also, after reading your part about ballet remember you in ballet class with me! I was in 8th grade so you must have been a senior and mrs. ford was my teacher. I swear I remember you in that class now, but i totally wouldn't have remembered unless you said you took ballet. how crazy is that?!
Fun. My random fact is i love haunted houses.
I bite my lip, wish for a wedding do-over, hate memes...
We were meant to be friends, yo.
I got tagged for this one, too :)
GREAT facts!!
Random fact...hmmm...I come from a huge family. My Dad is one of 10 and I am one of 22 grandkids. We already have 10 great-grandkids. I love when I get to head back to New England to spend time with them.
We have soooooooooooo many of those items you listed in common! But I love my dishwasher. And swap the ballet studio for a painting studio. Anny my beauty mark is...on my butt cheek...
I don't remember the cookbook from Mrs. Kreider's class that Jenny is talking about-but that your recipe was hot dogs is pretty funny. I also only thought of your 1st grade ballet class and totally forgot about that one with Mrs. Summers. And the one with Mrs. Ford-is that true? That seems like from another life and I can't quite conjure that up. I think cause I spent so much time there with Sam, I must have forgotten your time there. Seems like you take classes with big spaces between so maybe it's time to take ballet again, huh?
Hey Andrea, I have many of the same random factiods. Especially wanting a re-do on our wedding. But I've heard alot of women feel the same way for some reason of another. I will have to blog about my reason why. It is very minor and OCD dealing with my cake. lol But my most embarrising is probably that I am very OCD and Have been compared to MONK. Kevin's dad got us the series 2 Christmas's ago. And they tease me all the time.
Hmmm... I think my random fact would be that from the outward appearance of moi you would never guess that I love to race cars in my spare time and have been known to work on a occasional classic car.
it's so funny that you want a Concept2, I have a really old one that I hate, but would probably do a workout on a newer model. I have a love/hate relationship with them, I'd much rather be out on the water, but some times the weather doesn't allow that.
I don't mind cat/dog hairs in the house, but I HATE it when they get on my clothes, my nice clothes, or my black clothes where they are ten times more visible
Oh, I totally wish for a redo of my wedding, too!! I just had no clue what to do since I'd only ever even been to a couple of weddings but now..oh now. I could have so much fun!
random fact about me...I have never dyed my hair but I really want to...RED! You have inspired me!
I know you don't like talking about yourself, but I always enjoy hearing new facts about you. :)
Oh..and I love the picture of you in that necklace. It's so elegant.
I thought i would play along. I did one on my site. but my number one is i used to smoke. Yuck!
I loved that you did the meme so I could find out all those interesting facts about you. It was a fun read!!!
I am a total Germaphobe too!!! It's borderline out-of-control! Please DO NOT drink out of my glass and DO NOT lick the ketchup off your fingers in front of me!!!
Oh get over yourself :-) Do you seriously not know how adorable out & in (which is much more important) you are? Wish I could just squeeze you in person!
What a fun post, Andrea!
I so enjoyed this post! And WOW! We have so much in common! Do keep blogging, too...even if it's less, we still want to hear from you! :-)
