10 Things You Don’t Know About Me…

Posted on Tuesday, November 29, 2011 · 6 Comments 


I’ve always enjoyed reading other bloggers’ 100 Things About Me lists and so though it would be fun to do a modified version of that for this post. And so, we have:

10 Things You (Probably) Don’t Know About Me:

  1. I was born on February 12th, which is also Abraham Lincoln’s birthday. I was obsessed with him as a child and did any/all reports on him in school, until my teacher’s asked me to write about something else.
  2. My favorite color is pink, but only certain shades of pink. Hot pink, raspberry, fuchsia, etc.
  3. The Husband and I have been married for 11 years and we have 3 boys together… sometimes this whole grown up thing, still doesn’t seem really real.
  4. Most of the time, I love being the only chick in the house. It’s much easier to find my frilly/ruffle-y/lacy/girly clothes and shoes. Plus, the purses are all mine. I also feel like a Queen, most of the time.
  5. This is a tough one for me to admit, but here goes nothing. I gained 80+ pounds during my first pregnancy, causing me to outweigh my husband. The reason? I was obsessed with white grape juice, which I now can not stand.
  6. I love to shop but (thanks to DONNA showing me the way) enjoy the thrill of a good bargain even more; because of this, I very rarely pay full price for anything. And if I HAVE to pay full price, I am not happy about it!
  7. I still love Air Supply. Shut up.
  8. I mentally flip people off when they annoy me. And if that’s not good enough? I kill them with kindness.
  9. Back in the day, I used to be a ballet dancer, which requires much coordination and grace. Today? I can’t walk without tripping and don’t even let me NEAR a hula hoop. Or skis. Or roller blades, oh my GOD.
  10. I am still bitter that I never got to attend a taping of Oprah’s Favorite Things. Especially since she gave away a BEETLE last year! I may never be able to let that one go. (Am also salty about the list on their site; so I can see everything SHE GAVE AWAY FOR FREE, all laid out in black & white.) Would it be wrong if I called her a bitch?

So what would your 10 things be? What would I and my tens of readers be surprised to learn about you? :)

    I have to agree. Sometimes the whole Grown Up thing doesn’t feel real. And pink is fantastic!
    Ballet dancer? Awesome! I’m not coordinated enough to ski, roller blade, ice skate, etc/etc.
    The weight gain thing? I gained mine AFTER childbirth… to the point that I weighed MORE than my hubby and MORE than when I was full term carrying both of my kids.

    OH MY GOD. My Birthday is Feb 22 which is George Washington’s birthday! We’re president sisters! Yours is better than mine I think though.
