Just for fun...
I found this on another board.
Tell us 3 random things that we don't know about you.
Re: Just for fun...
1. I have loved horses since I was born. I rode for a long time but quit when I was 17. Still regret that.
2. I wouldn't describe my self as a cat person even though I currently have 4 in my house.
3. I hate change. When I was 16 we moved down the street to a bigger, beautiful house on the water. I was very angry. My mom's friend told me "I don't know why you're pissed, you should be saying Cha-ching". Lol.
I went to an all-girls Catholic high school.
I'm the shortest person in my whole family - extended family included - and now that I'm part of DH's family, I'm by far the shortest including his extended family also.
My most comforting comfort food is a good ol' pb&j sandwich.
I can't wait to read everyones answers
1) I'm allergic to animal hair - BUT I have a dog & cat, go figure. It takes a long time for me to get used to the particular animal, but after awhile it doesn't bother me or my asthma.
2) Growing up, I moved so many times that if I was given about a week, I still wouldn't be able to remember all the places I lived. None of the places were out of state, just locally.
3) I love diet coke, but not regular coke. I HATE diet pepsi, but love regular pepsi. How backwards is that?!
I agree! I don't love regular Pepsi but prefer it over Diet Pepsi.
I'm the exact opposite! I prefer Diet Pepsi over Diet Coke, and I prefer Coke over Pepsi.
i hate change.
i have several food allergies, but they all started when i was 23.
i graduated from HS at 16 and college at 20.
1. There are waterfalls in the backyard of the house I grew up in (the property is about 8 acres). People usually don't believe me until they see pictures.
2. I know how to play several musical instruments and I played flute for a symphonic orchestra when I was in high school...but my favorite "musical instrument" of all is the Rockband microphone...hehehe
3. I know how to make balloon animals.
1. I was the only person who ever spoke Spanish in my house and I was only 5 yo. I went to an all Spanish speaking school for K in Highland Park.
2. I despise being called by my real name. The only time anyone ever called me Cynthia is on the first day of school and I always asked them to change it. Other than that no one ever called me it growing up, even when I was in trouble.
3. Until I was about 14, I never questioned why there were magic kangaroos behind our house when I was little. My sister and our neighbor had told me when I was 3 that the rats behind the house (near a vacant lot) were magic kangaroos. Me and the neighbor?s younger brother were chased out by them and never questioned it again. After that, I never thought about it until I got much older.
I love this!
I was slimed and pied in the face on live tv on Nickelodeon.
If you disrupt my morning routine during the work week I'll probably bite your head off
My h.s. graduation present was a trip to Austrailia, I fell in love and am still in love. I want to go back again so bad!
1) I always have my toenails painted red
2) I can't say no to a tomato mozzarella salad
3) I have a goal to visit all 7 continents before I die... only have two left!
1. I am the youngest of eight kids, 10 years behind the last one - a total "oops". I also have 8 nieces/newphews that are more my age, 7 that are younger and 16 great nieces/nephews. By the time I start having kids my great nieces will be babysitting their great aunt's kids!
2. I went to Geremany my senior year of high school through our German class. I took three years of german to prepare for the trip and know maybe 10 words anymore.
3. I have another thing to share, but I can't. It is not official yet. No, it is not baby related. I will know hopefully sometime tomorrow. I don't want to post it here because one never knows who might be lurking!
Me three!
1) Outside of my parents and 2 uncles, no one is related in the way we say we are related on my side of the family. This is due to several adoptions and early on deaths. To this day, I STILL have questions and can't get it all right.
2) When I was a kid, I absolutely HATED peas, but loved pea soup....hated tomatoes but loved tomato soup, pasta sauce, and ketchup. Today I love peas and still pea soup, but I have never really learned to like tomatoes. It's an efford to eat them.
3) I am terrified of the following (and strange) things. Balloons, horses, birds, guns, and as I got older flying and thunder both of which I loved as a kid. I can slightly tolerate all of them EXCEPT the balloons and you can ask Normailed and Sarah on how terrified I was when we had lunch at Margaritaville and the balloon lady snuck up behind me. I almost left.
1) I wear flip flops year round, yes even when we have snow here
2) I absolutely hate feet! I don't like mine to be touched or to touch others
3) I've had LASIK surgery
Sorry, I'm boring
1. I wear crocs everyday to work
2. I'm afraid of the dark, spiders, needles, and drowning
3. I was in 4-H for 8 years w/ pygmy goats.
I have a patient waiting on me so I didn't have time to think of anything super interesting...maybe I'll add more later
1. I've been to (I think) 11 Dave Matthews Band concerts. I'll be going to another in September. I heart them.
2. I HATE being wet. Showering and swimming, fine, but the second I'm out, I HAVE to dry off every last drop of water. If I put clothes on and I'm not 100% dried off, I kind of flip out.
3. I could eat pasta every day of the week. Seriously. Love it.
I was in color guard/flag twirler in high school. The girls on my team were so much fun - and I loved my costumes! Wish I could get my hands on a flag to see if I can still toss and catch it.
I have blond eye lashes and eyebrows, but darker hair. If I'm not wearing mascara and pencil in my eyebrows, I look like a 12 year old ghost.
I am a horrible cook, but trying very hard not to be. There have been many meals that have ended up in the trash and we just ordered pizza or had cereal! DH is very patient with my cooking skills and always at least gives it a try.
Really? I've been to a boat load of them too! Every year my bff & I go to see them. For the past 3 years we've gone to VA to see them. This year we're going up to Saratoga NY and we got GA Pit seats!! So excited
1.) I am the smallest person in my family. Even my 10 year old cousins are bigger than me and I'm 5'4". I also am the only one (besides my dad) with brown eyes and the only one (besides my dad again) without REALLY light blond hair. (and I have 15 cousins)
2.) I have lived in 8 states and all but 2 of them were after I turned 20 and I'm SO ready to leave WV (I HATE it here).
3.) I really don't like pets yet I have 3 dogs... and I'm allergic to them all.
I love you for this, Natalie... really and truly. I'm going to send you to Peter's village in Greece to go help with the farm up there.
1. I have one real brother and one adopted brother who is really my cousin.
2. I have a severe fear of flying that makes me cry from take-off to landing no matter how long the flight.
3. I snowtubed on the 4th of July in the Swiss Alps right before I turned 16.
NYC would love to have you guys!!!!
