25 Things You Don't Know About Me

So.....do you read US Weekly? They have that little section where celebrities tell 25 random fact about themselves. I think this made the facebook circuit in early 2009 and the blog world before that. Well in true Summer fashion I am catching on a couple of years later and here are 25 things I am sure you are longing to know....

2. I hate green beans.
3. I am a speeder.
4. When I was in pre-school, I was sent home for wearing a Michael Jackson t-shirt. (And it was the cool Thriller album picture with the white tiger--can you believe it?)
   
5. I crumble sausage into my grits. yum.
6. I love Danica Patrick.
7. I was in the Marching Band my freshman year in high school. I hated the big hat.
8. I "google" everything.
9. The Bosu Step is my favorite piece of gym equipment.
10. Chai Tea for me....no coffee!
11. I won the "Most School Spirit" superlative my senior year in high school-go figure.
12. My husband scratches his back with a fork. weird. no worries, it immediately goes to the dishwasher.
13. I chew Trident Gum.
14. I took piano lessons for 6+ years.
15. I had a Cabbage Patch Doll named Neta Gay and she went EVERYWHERE with me including the Western Sizzlin Steakhouse every Sunday where I would try to cram food in her mouth. she never would eat--obv.

22. Speaking of Wicked...it is my FAVORITE thing to sing in my car. For you fans..."No one mourns the wicked"
23. When I work out, Flashdance tunes are what motivates me. "She's a maniac, maniac for sure...and she's dancing like she's never danced before."
24. I don't know how to whistle.....or swim....or apparently cook ;-)
25. Why is #25 so hard to think of?? Ok- I love the mall. It feels like home to me.

I didn't even get to mention that Paperboy was favorite Nintendo game, that I am a bad backseat driver, that I hate scary movies, cleaning litter boxes make me dry heave or that I wish Hawaii was just a two hour drive from here....oh well...maybe on the next list.
