11 Random Things About Myself

1. I am obsessed with Family Feud right now, well the Game Show Network in general.

2.  I have a mole next to my belly button that I will not allow a dermatologist to remove because both my sisters and one of my cousins each have a mole in a different spot next to their belly button so if you put them together they form a diamond. (The doctor said this is fine for now, by the way.)

3. I love to read, most thriller or detective books and lawyer books.

4. People find my pickiness with food odd.  It makes sense to me, but not others.  I don't think fruit and vegetables should mix...no apples in my salad thank you! I have a thing about certain foods crunching when I don't think they should...no cucumber in my sushi, no nuts in my brownie (really no nuts in anything).  I have my rules and I know what they are and the exceptions make sense to me;)

5. I have a routine in the shower.  Wash face while shampoo is in my hair,  wash body while conditioner is in my hair.  Since it takes longer to wash my body than my face and I want the conditioner to sit for a minute this timing works great.

6. I have never had any surgery or ever been hospitalized.  I have my wisdom teeth, my tonsils and my appendix. I've never broken a bone.

7. It's a wonder the above is true because I'm kind of a hypochondriac. Every headache is a brain tumor, every leg pain is a blood clot, my hurts so I have cancer, etc.  Don't even get me started on all that is going on with this pregnancy!

8. I absolutely love sunsets.  Wherever new place I go I have to see at least one sunset there.

9. Some of my biggest fears are what others don't believe exist.  I am deathly afraid of aliens, ghosts, the monster under my bed, Bloody Mary (remember her? I can't have a mirror in my room that I would walk by in the dark) and really the dark in general.

10. I keep my phone by me at all times in case of an emergency. It is set on my nightstand when I sleep, sound on, just in case something happens and I would need to be called.  It's not that I've had that many emergency phone calls but I get nervous.  If you haven't figured it out yet, yes I have anxiety:/

11.  I am not really a fan of odd numbers so it is quite annoying that there are 11 items for this but then there are 11 items that I have to answer which makes 22 so I'm ok:)

My 11 Questions From Kaysie

1. How many siblings do you have?
This isn't an easy one:) I have to full sisters and 7 half siblings, 4 brothers and 3 sisters, all on my father's side.

2. What is one thing that you have done, that you never thought you would do?
Hmmm...I'm kind of a planned person so this is hard.  I also have high expectations of myself and my life so even the "big" things in life I kind of knew.  I guess having such a fear of needles I would probably have never thought I would have gotten a tattoo.  My tattoo was in no way a rash decision but it also wasn't a "life-planned" decision.

3. Makeup or no makeup?

I pretty much won't leave the house without makeup but when I'm home I like to let my skin breathe.

4. What is your worst habit?

My worst habit is probably starting something and then taking my sweet time finishing it.  I get very excited about a project but if it can't be finished in an hour it may take me a week (or two!) to finish it.  This is just my personal life though.  My hubby wishes I would bring my work habits home:)

5. What is your biggest fear?

Right now it is labor.  I am freaking out about giving birth.

6. If you knew the world would end a week from today, what would you try to get done/see/say beforehand?

This is probably one of my greatest fears in life (you did hear about the asteroid in Russia right?!) but I'm not sure I have answer.  I would just want to spend the time with my family, it it was on an island in Greece or Bora Bora that wouldn't be horrible.

7. What is your favorite snack food?

Ooh, I think this would be fruit or yogurt-covered pretzels.

8. How often do you wash your hair?
Depends on what color it is:)  When I'm blond I may wash it twice a week, if I'm not working out.  Right now I'm a brunette so I don't get my hair done as often which means it gets oily easier so normally every other day but I may skip two days.

9. What is your favorite movie of all time?
I've been asked this quite a bit and it is so hard. I really have categories. Sleeping Beauty is my all-time favorite cartoon/Disney movie.  Grease is my favorite dancing/singing movie.  Love and Basketball is probably my all-around favorite though.

10. Do you believe in ghosts?

Absolutely

11. Which do you like better: manis or pedis?

Pedis, only because I don't think manis last long enough for what you pay.
