1. I eat Mexican food something or another at least 4x a week whether I’ve made it or we go out. (I LOVE to cook!)
2. That’s *real* Mexican food, btw. Screw El Torito, Chipotle, On The Border type places. Heehee.
3. I don’t eat anything that comes from the sea. Nothing.
4. I currently own only one pair of close-toed shoes. I live in flip-flops and sandals etc. Socks be damned!
5. I’m a list person. Not because I can’t remember things, but it helps me stay focused & I feel I’ve actually accomplished something when I cross a task off.
6. I have real long nails. Real as in my own. I have to file them down like a farrier does a horse once a week. Pretty, but a pain in the ass.
7. My husband likes things waaay cleaner than I do. He might actually do more household chores than I do because of this.
8. I’m in this asparagus phase. I could eat the shit for breakfast, lunch & dinner right now for weeks on end.
9. I mainly drink water & beer. Seriously.
10. I have very deep veins. Most needle-pokers have a hard time drawing blood from me. Even passing me off to the more ‘experienced’ people who still apologize for multiple holes.
11. I get my blood drawn at least 2x a year due to a heart issue.
12. I came to terms with my freckles around age 30. I can’t say the same for my ass
13. I’m not freaked out about turning 40. (Ask me in 2yrs if I still feel the same way though)
14. I could easily never talk to another human being if it meant living on an island with cats, dogs & other domestic/friendly animals
15. Along with seafood, I don’t eat dark meat.
16. Farts make me laugh ~~~~> I have a crude, juvenile sense of humor.
17. I don’t vote.
18. I’d like to lose 10-15lbs even though people freak out when I tell them this. I know they wouldn’t let me.
19. I still miss my horse, who died 6yrs ago, as much as I miss my dog that died a year ago this month.
20. I do most of my thinking on the way to & from work – a 45min-hr drive one way. Sometimes I don’t remember driving. Doh.
21. I love the act of writing. The movement.
22. I used to get swallowed up in the ‘What Ifs” – used to believe that I would be happier if I went somewhere else or had chosen another path in life. But it doesn’t work that way. Whereever you go, you take yourself with you.
23. A few years ago, I finally understood the old adage of “As you get older, your friends become more important to you”. But it sucks that that means I am older!
24. Never wanted kids…and still don’t, but am regretting not having them. Confusing? Yeah, don’t ask me, I have no idea either.
25. I’ve had artwork published. And poems. In books. And my own face in the local newspaper when I was 16.
