13 Fun and Quirky Facts About ME!

Ok, my lovely and wonderful bloggy friends...may I introduce one of my newest bloggy friends? She's the author of the blog Farmgirl Monologues. Just looking at her profile, we share much in common (hellloooo...she has TK listed under music!) And then...she's doing this super cool list of things about herself (go check her out!) where I find even more that we have in common. Kewl beanz!

And so...your mission...should you choose to accept it, is to do the same on your blog. Then leave a comment on this post to let me know...kinda like a tag-back, only different. ;)

And now...I...allthewhile yelling at my children To. Not. Sit. By. Each. Other. Again. For. The. Rest. Of. The. Night. (or did I say their lives...shoot...I need to record these things for playback!)...now I shall share my 13 Fun and Quirky Facts.

((begin music..."ya'll ready for this...da da da da da da"))

1. Bread crumbs in the margarine skeeve me out. Seriously. When Bones has made toast, I can almost feel an embolism forming. I scrape all the little bits of bread/crumbs out and throw them away. (Those things can and will turn green, man! Blech!) Oh...and this little issue can't even touch how I feel about mayo/miracle whip/peanut butter. New knives, people...new knives!

2. I know the name of every single Godzilla monster ever made, written about, or put in a movie. Oh yes. I do. Try me.

3. I never planned on having kids. Also completely true for a number of reasons. I am beyond blessed with how my life has turned out.

4. I drink a gallon of unsweetened, fresh-brewed iced tea a day. Sometimes more. Rarely less. This makes it impossible for me to get my fix when traveling. Many of these places that proclaim, "Fresh brewed iced tea" are full of shit. It's the powdered stuff. And I have never met another person who can respect my need for unsweetened fresh brewed iced tea. I do not want sugar. Sweet tea puts me in a gagging tailspin. If people can get black coffee...why can't I get my tea, like I want it? (Oh...that's right...it's because I'm an oddball and the world isn't out to please me!) Rant over. :P

5. I am the oldest of...five. No, we're not at all close. In fact, we're falling further apart. Yes, I think it's sad.

6. I love Toby Keith. I am one of his biggest fans. I will not be going to see his new movie tomorrow...his last one was painful for me to watch. I hope that this one is better. I may be buying the soundtrack. I'll watch the movie when it hits DVD. And I'll probably cringe.

7. One time, when I was pregnant with Spidey, I went to see Rick Springfield in concert. And Sunangel flew in to meet me there and she won us FRONT ROW TICKETS in this radio promotion going on at the concert. And I got to sing the first line in the chorus of, "Don't Talk To Strangers" for Rick. Totally. He put the mic in my face and I sang. It rocked. Big time. And then he rained sweat on us and we loved it while we held onto his leg like schoolgirls...like teenagers. We were 35, but whatever.

8. I met Bones at a bar. First impression...he was way too cocky for me.

9. I haven't watched TV since the Survivor finale in late spring/early summer. Except for the Toby Keith interview the other night on Glenn Beck (Bones told me about it). Glenn Beck is painful to watch...yikes was I ever telling him off from my living room. LOL!

10. Oooooh! Here's a fun one...I have met many stars: Reba, Trace Adkins, Brooks & Dunn, Gary Allen, Diamond Rio, Kenny Chesney, ???more, more, more. I used to work in radio and that was one of the perks. (FYI...Reba is nothing but pure class. Kenny Chesney is cocky and boring. As are the Dixie Chicks...but...oh wait...they've proven that by now, haven't they? Muahahahahahahaha. Mess with my man and then Reba...FUDC, K?!)

11. We chemically burned my hair off two years ago...lost about 3 inches. It was on accident, of course. It was a home straightening kit gone bad. And we completely followed the directions and the stuff had just been put on my hair. I started to comb it straight...and noticed it breaking off and turning to mush. It was an awful mess, but it's just hair...I got it cut and then babied it for a while. Ok, that was neither fun nor quirky...but interesting?

12. I have a tattoo. A scorpion. On my left ankle. I love it and have no regrets. But I don't want another.

13. I am called to water. A creek. A lake. A pond. A river. The ocean. They calm me. I am happiest near the water, always.
