My friend Sue, tagged me in a FB post which requested that I share 25 random facts, thoughts, or goals about me. I basically listed whatever came into my head — for better or worse.
- People who suck on hard candy too loudly drive me absolutely crazy.
- I once took my oldest brother’s wooden dolly that he used to fix his cars and road it down the slide in my backyard – even though I knew it was a bad idea – because the two boys I was playing with were too chicken. I missed the cushion I put at the end of the slide by about 8’ and almost broke my back. They ran home and left me for dead.
- I had my first kiss in kindergarten – from a neighbor boy who moved away in first grade and broke my heart. I kissed him.
- I hated playing with dolls but loved putting outfits together (for Barbie).
- I’ve broken the second toe on my right foot probably close to a dozen times. I’m now prone to terrible and random foot cramping.
- I used to love Ace of Base. I Saw The Sign was nothing compared to the first rate b-sides.
- I have OCD. Not the light flipping on and off kind, but the need to be organized and planning things way in advance kind.
- I don’t wear anything white.
- I don’t generally cry at movies but the first five minutes of Up is the most ridiculously sad thing I have ever witnessed.
- I don’t know if Buddha said this or not, but I believe that “Happiness never decreases by being shared.” Happiness in infinite and someone else having something good happen to them does not diminish the happiness you seek.
- I fully believe that I will publish at least a novel.
- If I ask you if you’d like the last piece of cake and you say maybe later – it will be gone when you decide to look for it —later.
- I truly believe that buying nice handbags and shoes are in fact an investment in my future.
- I don’t like doing things that I don’t do well.
- I get annoyed when people tell me they are jealous of me or something I’ve accomplished. I’ve worked my butt off for all of it. None of it was luck.
- I am highly allergic to lilies, but I once drove over an hour with a giant one in my backseat because I knew my husband would love it for our garden.
- Sarcasm is in fact a sign that I am intellectually superior.
- I will buy anything related to Jane Austen – including Jane band aids.
- If it comes in plaid, I’ll take it (this includes men as well – preferably kilted).
- Based on my shopping preferences (LL Bean, Cabela’s, Columbia, etc.) one would believe I live a much more outdoorsy life than I actually do. I would love to hike and kayak (when the weather is just right and there are no bugs).
- If I get the opportunity to move to Scotland or Ireland at any point in my life, I will totally do it.
- In the Zombie Apocalypse, I’d probably be closest in personality to Carol from The Walking Dead.
- There are few things in this world as amazingly perfect as a good cup of tea, a great novel and a hot bath (in a deep soaker style tub or a claw foot).
- I think it’s possible that unicorns did exist.
- I don’t like beer. Which was rather problematic in college. Although I assure you, I tried, I really, really TRIED to like it.
This ended up being a fun little exercise to do and I encourage others to try it.
Great read! And very insightful LOL! Are there really truly Jane Austen Band-Aids?

There are indeed Jane Austen band aids. I wouldn’t lie about such things
