Wow...this is my 100th blog post! My blog sure has evolved since the early days...it originally started as documentation of my major home renovation. Now, it's just about my day-to-day life...and of course, my niece! To commemorate the momentous occasion of 100 posts, I wanted my post to be 'outside the box'. I'm an avid reader of US Weekly magazine, and I LOVE the spotlight they do on celebs called "25 Things You Don't Know About Me". No, I'm not a celebrity, but I decided to compile a list of completely random things about myself to share with y'all.
****DISCLAIMER-These are all completely random, but honest things...please don't hold any of this info against me! ****
25 Things You Don't Know About Me
1. I sleep in my retainers every night.
2. I am a major creature of habit…I eat the exact same thing for breakfast every day…scrambled egg whites with FF cheese and Canadian bacon.
3. My most prized possessions are my “ba-bas”. (blankets) If my house caught on fire, they would be the first things that I grab.
4. I am not a shoe person.
5. I record one soap opera every day…the Young and the Restless…thank you Papa for getting me addicted at age 5!
6. I can wiggle my ears without touching them.
7. I have never hit the snooze button.
8. I played the clarinet for six years. (please don’t make fun!)
9. The first thing I do in the morning as soon as my feet hit the floor is to make up my bed…I cannot sleep in an unmade bed.
10. If you see me out, I will have one of two bags on my shoulder…either my ‘school bag’ or my ‘fun bag’.
11. I feel naked if I'm not wearing my pearl earrings.
12. I am a member of the Junior League of Birmingham...one of my greatest passions is volunteering and helping others.
13. I do not like to walk barefoot.
14. My hometown is the “Fire Hydrant Capital of the World”.
15. I would wear a dress everyday if I could.
16. I drove a gold “Exploder” for 8 years…and I despised the hubcaps on the tires! Ha (I’m a car person).
17. I am a very good speller and a super-fast text messager.
18. When I was five, I fell off the balance beam and broke my right arm…still have a scar where the bone popped out.
19. On my 16th birthday, one of my best guy friends put a huge PINK sign on our high school wishing me a happy birthday…oh, and he put up signs with balloons at various places around town too!
20. Until the 1st grade, I went by the name ‘Ginny’…My mom said I came home one day and told them that I would go by ‘Virginia’...so glad I made that decision so early! ha
21. I still carry my Auburn student ID in my wallet at all times.
22. I like my pancakes a little on the “doughy” side…actually, that applies to all baked goods.
23. One of my greatest fears is running out of gas in my car...I have been scared of this since childhood...although, I have to say no one in my family has ever run out of gas!
24. When I hear a song from rush on the radio, I always ‘bop’...it’s a habit I can’t break.
25. I am completely OCD about being on time...I was the girl in college who arrived at 7:30 for my 8:00 class.
A big thanks to all my readers out there...I don't know who most of you are, but I appreciate your taking time to read my randomness! I hope you all enjoy my blog as much as I enjoy blogging on it. I'll be back later this week with hopefully a less random post. :)
