I've been nominated for the Lovely Blog Award...so long as I tell you 7 interesting facts about myself. Problem is, I used up all of my interesting facts last year when I got the Versatile Blogger Award. Have no fear! I've scraped the bottom of the barrel and now present to you:
7 Semi-Interesting Facts about Me
1. I hate being late. Consequently, I hate when others are late as well. This was in direct conflict with the Turtle's "Greek Time" when we first started dating...until he learned. Mwahahaha.
2. If I'm wearing a dress, I have to throw a football. It all started when I went to my first prom. While waiting for my date to pick me up, my brothers were tossing the football around in the front yard. I hitched up my skirt and jumped right in and a tradition was born. Now, everytime a tux or a ball gown is involved, a football has to be thrown (and I don't even like football!).

| Manicure be damned! |
3. I have an unnatural obsession with Honey Bunches of Oats. The Fruit Blends flavors to be exact. I usually have 6-8 boxes in the closet at any given time. The Turtle says our closet looks like Doomsday Preppers.

| Did I mention I was their 1st Fan of the Week? |
4. I am in a time capsule. The Cleveland Bicentennial Education Time Capsule. Back in 1996, the City of Cleveland held a contest for all the area school kids to write a creative journal about what we thought the future would be like. I won! So my journal is now sitting in the Cleveland Natural History Museum, waiting to be opened in 2046.

5. I love to read. Which made me like a kid in the candy store when I worked in a library for 10 years!
6. I'm a destructor. If it can break, I'll figure out a way, especially if it has to do with technology. I'm on my 2nd ipod and my umpteenth pair of headphones. I can snarl up the cable box like nobody's business, and don't get me started on my car radio. I managed to get a whole beach worth of sand inside my camera on our honeymoon, and to this day you can hear it grinding when the lens zooms out. And today... I broke my sunglasses on my way to work!
7. I can sleep anywhere. Car, school, movie theater, airplane, have all been christened with my Zzzzzs.
Fun! Very cool about the time capsule. I put some stuff in one back in 5th grade but I don't think it's being opened for 100 years.
ReplyDeleteI can't stand it when people are late. I've always said, "to be on time is to be late, to be early is to be on time."
ReplyDeletei love the football tradition! So funny. Very cool about the time capsule!
