I debated about this for quite some time. I read "100 things" that another woman wouldn't admit to anyone in real life but she would on her blog. Honestly I'm sure there are a few friends out there that read this, but I don't think any of you would tell me that you read this.. haha. So here are 100 things about me that you might not know and I probably won't tell you unless you ask. Enjoy and please don't make fun of me later.
1. I hate walking barefoot on a wood deck, the feel of dry wood under my feet makes me cringe.
2. I color my hair, but not enough that you would really notice a difference from my natural color. It's more of a dark brown almost black tint. Level 4, I do it myself. Just easier I guess. Right now I'm trying letting my grey grow out, but I don't like it much.
3. I use to refuse to pay anyone to wax my eyebrows, that's why sometimes I looked lopsided. Now, I have someone that fixes that.
4. I went blonde for a while.... didn't look right. Everyone else said it was great. I thought I looked washed out. Back to dark brown.
5. Until I started using the lady I use currently, I'd never let anyone cut my hair more than once. Commitment issues with hairdressers. .
6. I bite my nails when I get nervous, but not all the way through. I just kinda chomp on them like a chew toy.
7. My pajamas have to coordinate, seriously. Pink with pink, blue with blue. I hate wearing regular tshirts to bed too. I'm a serious pj person.
8. If I don't make the bed in the morning, I will make it before I get in. Sheets must be tucked in and perfectly straight. Kinda OCD thing for me, but I'm getting better at it.
9. I rub my feet together when I can't sleep or stressed out. I don't know why I find that comforting.
10. I also wiggle my right foot when I'm sitting in the recliner. I think I got that from my Mom.
11. Sometimes I wiggle my foot off the side of the bed too, but I have one of those memory foam mattresses so I can't feel the bed wiggle when I do so it just gets aggravating.
12. I sleep on the right side of the bed so it makes wiggling my foot easier... and it is furthest from the door.
13. I snore and its not that cute kind of snore either. I've been told I sound like a freight train.
14. I also snort when I laugh, and that's not cute either even though some people find it very amusing. There are videos floating around.
15. I love to sneeze. Wish I could do it on command for stress relief.
16. I stress out too easy over minor stuff. I overthink. I have an anxiety disorder so sometimes I can't control it.
17. I would love to send out more cards to people, I really want to, but I always forget until the last minute.
18. I have hundreds of thank you get well happy birthday cards in a box sitting on my desk waiting to be sent... just sitting there.
19. I don't read to my kids every night, I try to but I really suck at it
20. I feel like I have to clean my house from top to bottom before I have company over. Does not matter who it is, I'm embarrassed if there are dishes in the sink.
21. I hate washing dishes.
22. I hate cleaning house too
23. I have on several occasions stayed up till 2 in the morning cleaning house.
24. Until I had kids.
25. I always eat the same thing at restaurants. So if I'm in the mood for this I go to that place, if I want that.. I go to the other one. However I have decided to branch out a little. I currently have two menu items at Chili's that I'll eat... now and then I will branch out, not often.
26. Mexican restaurant is the only place where I have had more than one of the menu items, I've had three.
27. I don't shave my legs every day in the winter, Sometimes I go for days....
28. I'd rather not shave them at all but that's kinda gross.
29. I like coffee too much
30. I also drink way too many cokes.
31. I don't eat healthy, never have, never will.
32. I pick my nose... when no one is looking. I'll admit that I do it and I flick. It's gross, no I won't stop.
33. When it comes to political debates, I keep my mouth shut as to not look stupid. I hate politics
34. I've tried to talk politics before and looked completely stupid... lesson learned.
35. I love cats... if I thought I could get away with having 30 or so in the house I would, but I don't want to have to deal with the litter box and the hair.
36. I still like to color
37. I suck at writing... sorry, I needed to admit it to myself just one time.
38. ooh another OCD... if the husband and I are going somewhere and he puts on the same color shirt as me, I will change in a second. I hate it. We are not twins. Same goes for my friends. Exceptions made for game day.
39. I have 20 or so fragrances I wear regularly.
40. My 2 favorite perfumes are Tresor by Lancome and Breathe Romance from Bath and Body Works (discontinued) I have no idea why this particular point is showing up bold, if you can't see it disregard. Add to that, Sensual Amber by Victoria's Secret.
41. I like beer.. all of 'em. Craft is life
42. I really don't like alcohol period, ugh. I do however like a nice glass of wine now and then. However due to being unstable I can't drink it.
43. I will drink Jagermeister... without anyone daring me too, but if I ever do... please take me home then. It's about to get ugly. I stay away from it too.
44. My house stays fairly clean, my car is so dirty. I have two kids and I would prefer them to just leave the trash in the car rather than throw it out the window.
45. I would rather pay Charles $35 to wash the nasty car than do it myself.
46. I always clean out my car before I take it to the detail shop... even the month old french fries.
47. I think I try too hard to make people like me.
48. Not a lot of people like me because I try too hard.
49. I can be a bit abrupt... yep. My way or the highway.
50. This is a stupid task I put myself on... but I'm almost done.
51. I am withholding some information from you... bet you can't guess what it is either.
52. I will let my kids have candy before bed, and I know I shouldn't
53. I will drink my coffee any way I can get it. With cream, without, milk, sugar, splenda, coffeemate... I don't care.
54. I refuse to pay $4 for a cup of coffee at Starbucks, I'd rather drink the day old crap from the gas station.
55. I have never nor will I ever eat a hot dog from a gas station. ( I did on 01/24/11 and it was so goooood). So lets change that to, I will not eat prepackaged food from a gas station... that I will NEVER DO!
56. I have bought fried chicken from one... Spanky's when it use to be open in Decatur, MS made the best chicken on a stick with onions and pickles.
57. I have watched videos and read stories about how they treat chickens in chicken houses before they are killed for food... and I don't care. I like to eat chicken.
58. and beef
59. and pork.
60. I eat fish sometimes... learning to love it. Blackened Salmon is at the top of my list right now.
61. I get annoyed when people don't do what I ask them to do, simple task not take over the world stuff. Said that already... can't stress it enough.
62. I don't react well when I'm pissed off or hurt. I tend to say things I shouldn't and it always comes back in the end. I have a bad temper and I can't control it sometimes. So I shut down. If I'm ever mad enough to cry .... run
63. I let people walk all over me too. I'm a huge pushover.
64. Being a huge pushover I get taken advantage of by people that say they are my friends, when really they are only out for themselves.
65. I'm also a little naive. I see the good in everyone from the start. I've learned to put my guard up a little.
66. I'm divorced... never thought that would happen. And then I remarried him.
67. I haven't watched tv other than cartoons in weeks and I'm ok with that. I would rather read.
68. I am obsessed with Star Wars. I watch it every time it comes on TV... movies and documentaries.
69. I also have an obsession with sour candy. The more sour, the better. Right now my favorite is Cry Baby Tears... like the gum, but more like a sweettart form.
70. I buy Cry Baby candy by the case. Seriously.
71. I like social media too much.
72. With that being said though, I could care less what is going on around me anymore.
73. I used to think if I don't know whats going on 24/7 then I'm alone. Made me feel unloved. I have issues, I know. Now I would much rather be left alone looking at Pinterest
74. I used to see a psychiatrist... he was nuttier than me. He did however make me realize I'm not the crazy one.
75. I've started running. It's my quiet time. I don't run with a partner. I like to be alone now and then with my thoughts. It has really helped me think about what I'm doing and where I'm going in life. (current break from running due to degenerative disk disorder I'm trying to manage at the moment)
76. I have low self esteem.... this is an issue I've yet to resolve, but every day I get better. Still doesn't change the fact that I don't like what I see in the mirror. I never will. Most days I just don't think I'll ever be good enough.
77. I sing and dance when I have the kids in the car with me. I love the reaction I get from other drivers. It makes me smile to see them laugh.
78. I would still like to have my old house in town. I loved that house. My grandmother lived there when I was little.
79. I drive by that old house at least once a month. I guess you could say I'm stalking my old house?
80. I don't drive by my other grandmothers old house unless I have to. I will tell you about it one day.
81. Interesting fact... I had a cat that lived to be 21 years old. I had him put to sleep then went and got plastered in his honor... since he was old enough to buy alcohol.
82. I eat Spam
83. I have dozens of work out videos but am not motivated enough to do them... but I should.
84. I love flowers... any kind. From the grocery store, cut from the garden or delivered. My sister always makes sure to send them to me on Mother's Day. I even love spider lilies in the fall.
85. I'm glad that my sister and I are getting closer. I think it helps that our kids are kinda the same ages. We are 6 years apart, but she still is my big sister.
86. I'd rather txt than talk on the phone any day, but I am a big texter. Sometimes I'm just too busy to have a conversation. I'd rather talk face to face.
87. Along with my unhealthy obsession with sour candy, I also like to eat sour foods. Like lemons or limes.. with tons of salt.
88. I have high cholesterol and acid reflux. The reflux is from the lemons and cry babies, the cholesterol is from fried food. Lots of fried food.
89. I like anything deep fried. Deer meat, chicken livers, pickles.
90. When I have to pee really bad, my left hand hurts. This only came about after I had kid #1. I know in reality there is no direct correlation to this... but I like to think there is. I assume that my nerves grew back together crooked after my c-section.
91. I had a c-section with kid #2 and my left hand still hurts when I gotta go.
92. I sleep with a pillow, kind of like a teddy bear, but its not a teddy bear. I can't sleep without it. Even if I don't hug my squishy pillow it has to be close by.
93. I am scared of the dark... seriously. I have night lights on all over the house and I won't go in a room without turning the lights on first. Unhealthy fear at my age. I have a few other fears that are unusual. Google Bell Mouth Spillway.....
94. As an adult I still will not watch the movie Gremlins... I think that has something to do with my fear of the dark. All thanks to my Mom and my sister. Yes I sleep with a night light, didn't I tell you that already.
95. I'm scared of tunnels... like the one under the Mobile Bay... I swear it's going to crash in on me at any moment while I'm driving. And yes... there is a photo floating around on facebook somewhere of my drivin' and cryin'. Bridges too, but not as bad
96. I wear too much makeup sometimes. I know it, my friends know it, but I don't care if I look like a freak show. It's really not that bad. I can go without it believe it or not.
97. I put on lipstick several times a day because for some reason I lick it off. I can use up a tube of lipstick in a matter of weeks so I buy 3 or 4 of the same at one time. I refuse to use long wearing lipstick.
98. I've been wearing my favorite lip stick for over 15 years now. My sister bought the first tube and I stole it from her. Of course its not the same exact one... same shade, same brand.
99. I used to be a makeup artist. Before then I never wore makeup or fixed up. I owe all my girly'ness and need for glitter and glamour to that job. Before then I had never waxed my eyebrows either. Be glad I was a makeup artist, I had a unibrow.
100. So, since I used to be a makeup artist you think I would be in direct sales for make up.... tried it, failed. Several times.
