11 Random Things About Myself:

1. I am really, really, REALLY scared of lizards. I would 100% rather have a spider or even a snake within 5 feet of me than a lizard. I am also scared of birds.
2. I got an overhead projector for Christmas in 4th grade.
3. Texas A&M was the only college I applied to.
4. I hate warm seats of any kind. They gross me out.
5. The sweet girl that works at Chick-fil-a (Christie) knows my voice when I order my Diet Coke(s) every day and we always have a mini conversation through the speaker.
6. I am not a music person. I never know what the "cool" songs are or who sings them.
7. I am technologically challenged. Chris had to help me do the link to Amanda's blog below.

8. I have a fear of having "Happy Birthday" sung to me. I really don't like it at all. I also get nervous for other people when they are being sung to.
9. Commas kind of stress me out. I know I was a teacher, but sometimes I can't figure out where they are supposed to go!

10. I've only owned 3 hair brushes since 6th grade. That's such a weird piece of information to remember.

11. My mom picked out my clothes and fixed my hair for me every day until sixth grade.

My answers to Amanda's questions:

1. If you had to have any one song play to announce your arrival whenever you walk into a room, which song would it be? This is easy. I would NEVER EVER want a song to play when I entered a room. I would be mortified! (See #8 above.)

2. Which came first, the chicken or the egg? I'm going to go with the chicken.

3. What one thing is guaranteed to make you cry? I am guaranteed to cry if I see a stray dog or watch one of those horribly sad animal commercials.

4. What do you do for a living? Did you grow up wanting to do this? I used to be a teacher and wanted to be a teacher my whole life. (See #2 above.) Now I'm a mommy and couldn't imagine doing anything else right now.

5. If you had to name your next (or first) child after a pet you’ve had during your life, which name would you pick? Well, I equally adored our sweet Raisin and Lacie, but I will go with Lacie for obvious reasons. :)

6. What’s your favorite sport to play? And to watch? I've never actually played a sport unless you count picking flowers in the outfield in junior high as a sport. I love watching college football!

7. What’s your pet peeve of the moment (because if you’re like me, they change from day to day)? The term "date night" really annoys me for some reason. I probably just hurt somebody's feelings by saying that. My other one right now is something I am totally guilty of doing myself, but once I realized it bothered me I stopped! You know when someone says hi to a newborn baby and the mommy replies by saying to the baby, "Can you say hi?" That's my pet peeve. Of course the baby can't say hi! :)

8. If you had to eat one thing for breakfast every day for the rest of your life, what would it be? I love sweet things for breakfast. If calories were not an issue, I would want some kind of yummy pastry, such as a cinnamon roll.

9. How many glasses of water do you drink, on average, per day? Are you proud of this number? I try to drink between 48 and 64 oz of water per day. I should probably drink more than that.

10.What was your favorite grade in school growing up and why? I loved 3rd grade because of my teacher. When I got my first teaching job, I tracked her down (she lives in Illinois now) and we exchanged a few letters. She was the best teacher!

11. How many pairs of shoes (estimate) do you own? I just cleaned out my shoes, so I currently probably have around 10 pairs. I tend to stick with simple shoes that go with a lot.

My questions for you:

1. If you could take your family and friends with you and move anywhere in the United States, where would you move?

2. If you could have any talent, what would it be?

3. What was your AIM screen name?

4. Other than your wedding or the birth of a child, what event in your life would you like to relive if you were given the chance?

5. What has been the biggest surprise in your life? (This doesn't have to be deep. Just a fun surprise!)

6. How long does it take you to get ready in the morning?

7. What is the last book you read?

8. What is your favorite room in your house and why?

9. If you could do it again, what is something you would change about your wedding?

10. What is your favorite non-reality show?

11. What is your favorite vacation spot (a place you've already been before) and why?

I hope someone answers my questions! :)
