me myself and i

so, just for the fun of it…here are 25 extremely random, and hopefully not too TMI things about yours truly…

one:
my favorite holiday ever is thanksgiving. however, this is subject to change considering i'm a grown up now, and will soon learn how to make food that is edible...& consequently adopt more food assignments. which equals too much work. which equals christmas might be better.

two:
i can’t spell. the reason i use all lower case on my blog, scrapbooking, emails, is because i never know when things are suppose to be capitalized. english/grammer/writing so isn’t my forte. and I’m totally okay with it.

three:
my favorite day of the week is sunday. my man is home. church is uplifting. naps are an option.

four:
i am scarred for life when it comes to driving cars. ever since my crazy near-death experience o’ superstition freeway ’03, i have been ultra paranoid behind the wheel. if the bus wasn’t so frightening/random/slow/unsanitary, i would most definitely opt for that form of transportation. i plan to hire dr. phil someday to come & help me overcome this abnormal/super-annoying-to-live-with anxiety.

five:
speaking of fears…i’m also afraid of horses, birds, dolphins, giving birth, closed in spaces, clowns, stilts, and anything having to do with the circus {bearded ladies & creepy music included}.

six:
i really enjoy having not-so-secret crushes on fictional characters. such as: edward the vampire, jack bauer, and mattie from 13 going on 30.

seven:

my american idol is no doubt about it- melinda doolittle. i think she is positively adorable, super cute & humble, refreshingly modest, and out of this world talented. {regardless of what people have to say about her neck {or lack thereof.}

eight:
i am totally not into tanning indoors. don’t get me wrong, i am BEYOND okay with other people participating in this activity. but, i for one, think it is the most boring, anti-relaxing, pointless time-sucker out there. {and that’s why i’m pasty-white, folks}

nine:
i have to check to make sure my alarm is set correctly, 10 times. right in a row. this is not an exaggeration kids, it’s true. ask myron.

ten:
i really & truly don’t care about being super rich, having fancy things, or a massive house…as long as my bills are paid, my fridge is full, my family is healthy/happy & tivo is in tact.

eleven:
my middle name is michelle. i was almost named heather. my real name is angela, even though half the world calls me angie or ang. my nicknames include: stang, angus, angie-pooh, and dixon.

twelve:
i have recently limited myself to blogging only one half hour per day. ‘cause let’s face it guys, i wasn’t getting anything done…except stalking blogs all day. and some of people i don’t even know! kinda embarrassing to admit, but i’m pretty sure a ton of you are in the same boat. {lol}

thirteen:
my top five least favorite words in the english language are 1. moist 2. ointment 3. crevis 4. nugget (pronounced noo-get) & 5. nipple

fourteen:
my favorite word in the english language however, is obliged. {even though I’m not sure i could even use it correctly in a sentence.}

fifteen:
i have started listening to country again on the radio. i wonder why I took a break from it in the first place because i truly do love me some rascall flats, keith urban, dixie chicks, martina, faith, tim & garth.

sixteen:
i once wrote my senator about how the green traffic lights in gilbert don’t match one another. two clashing shades of green…that totally bugs!!

seventeen:
i have said it once, and i’ll say it again: being a mom totally rocks my world. better yet, being a wife to an amazing man and then having an adorable baby, and then watching your amazing man with your adorable baby ROCKS even more!

eighteen:
i am NOT a pet person. however, i do own a six pound bundle o’ shih tzu called mr. miyagi, that likes to bark loudly during naptime, do his bi-ness on my carpet, and maul every visitor that comes to our door. and for some strange reason, i’d miss the dickens out of him if he ran away. it’s a mystery to me.

nineteen:
i absolutely, unoquivically l-o-v-e love to sing. not in front of people. definitely not in front of people. but in my car, in the shower, or just around the house, i can often be found belting out random songs.

twenty:
i once wanted to be a teacher when I grew up. that was until I learned that large groups of other people’s chidren make me ridiculously crazy! now, i just want to be a snowbird when I grow up.

twenty-one:
i love to clean. i love the scent of lemon pine sol. i find fewer things more satisfying than a perfectly clean house. this rarely happens. but i love it.

twenty-two:
if i could have a never-ending gift card to anywhere in the world, it would most likely be target. i heart target. i live in walking distance from a super target, and that is a scary thing.

twenty-three:
some of my most favorite pastimes include: shopping with granny, going to lunch with granny, talking on the phone with granny, crying a river to granny, laughing hysterically with granny, etc. aka i have the awesome-est mom in the world.

twenty-four:
i love shoes. they always fit.

twenty-five:
i know what i like and how & when i want it, but at the same time i like to think i’m pretty easy to please. i believe in the goodness of people. and i love life.

the end. {whew!}
