19 things about me that maybe you didn't know


1. i met my husband on match.com
2. i'm an only child, but had NOT A CLUE about this til i was around 10 and my cousins, that lived in the house next door to me, all grew up and went to college.
3. i lost 90 pounds about 4 years ago. which is funny to me, because this is when i met my husband. he thinks that throughout my life, i always had more weight on me, and that is not true...it was only for about a year that i was that weight...the rest of my life i've been what i am now.
4. i can't sleep with socks on
5. i met the person who likely knows the most about me, on the internet, about 5 years ago. she is definitely one of the if not the closest friend. AND we didn't meet until a year ago, in person
6. i have hardly any girl friends that live in the same state as me. most of my casual friends tend to be male
7. i listen to cheesy music when i run (i.e. Britney spears, rhianna, the music from Ferris buellers day off when they are at the art musc
8. i have my masters in social work, but don't use it for my job.
9. when i went to school for my master's, i met some of the most clinically insane people that i have ever met in my life....all in a big concentrated mess.
10. i have a DVD and application from an adoption agency for China on my desk at home
11. i broke my tailbone last year in a marathon and it was one of the most painful things i have ever done...that and having to ride back 14 hours in a car to Colorado
12. my mom has massive ESP
13. i have great thoughts about my ex-husband. not in a weird way, but i think he is a genuinely good person
14. My first wedding cost tens of thousands of dollars. it was beautiful, but not me in any way. my second wedding cost nothing!
15. i'm perpetually bothered if i'm not on time for things. if i'm going to be late, i will be calling or texting within seconds of me finding this out.
16. this morning i finished two things my husband was saying, which, would not be so weird, had the lead ins had been more than, "i'm going to.....".
17. in spite of being an optimist, i have an ex that repeatedly apologizes for the way i was treated when i was with him, yet, he is the one person i remain skeptical about. i don't know that i'll ever believe that.
18. i think that i could win a food eating contest. not like the nathans hot dog one for speed, but one of those that has you put down a gigantic pizza or breakfast burritos with no time limit, or something super spicy...i could take them. but, i'll never do it because it would gross me out.
19. i will not buy things at the grocery/drug store, unless i can save at least 40% with coupons and store discounts. it is a "drug" of sorts, a dorky one, i know....but a drug nonetheless.

#5 -- ditto ditto ditto !!!
#10 -- Woooo hooo!!! That's exciting and nerve wrecking all at once right there.
#12 -- good and bad?
#13 -- WEIRD b/c I JUST read (literally like yesterday) and article in Hallmark Magazine (a mag i just learned about) called "Mementos of a Marriage" - I loved him; I divorced him; I'm happily married to another. But my ex still matters to me in mysterious ways.

I feel the same way you do about that.

The article confirmed we're not 'offo'

a little something about me and the life i choose to live!
