“25 Things About Me” Meme

Our friend Shannan from Mommy Bits tagged us in a meme, and we thought it would be fun to participate!

Here are the rules: Once you’ve been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. At the end, choose 5 people to be tagged (It was 25 but that’s a lot!). If I tagged you, it’s because I want to know more about you.

Emily
1. I don’t dance. Ever.
2. Michael Jordan was my hero when I was in middle school.
3. I have a drinking problem. I spill drinks all over myself on a regular basis.
4. I am a wee bit competitive. And by a wee bit, I mean a lot.
5. I have been to a ton of concerts.
6. I am really good at sudoku.
7. I am not a morning person. Or a night person. I am a sleep person.
8. I love, love, love Diet Coke.
9. My husband and I drove (from Ohio) to the Baseball Hall of Fame (in New York) to see Ozzie Smith inducted, and then turned around and drove home. Without sleeping.
10. My daughter is named after my mom.
11. I am addicted to Twitter.
12. I am working on a master’s degree in instructional design and technology.
13. I have never had a pet.
14. I want a blackberry but I am afraid my husband would divorce me. (just kidding. kind of.)
15. I am nervous about my daughter turning five. It seems so old.
16. I have lived in five houses in a one mile radius.
17. I love my MacBook. (I haven’t mentioned that before, have I?)
18. I love Disney World. I can’t wait until Sammy’s old enough for us to go back.
19. I love the beach. (And I’m looking for recommendations on which one we should visit this summer!)
20. I hate being in crowds. I like my personal space.
21. I am having a really hard time coming up with five more facts.
22. I always thought I would only have girls, but I love having a boy.
23. My pet peeves include random capitalization and improper use of pronouns.

Jenny
1. I am addicted to Yahtzee, both the real game and the computer game.
2. I have wavy hair, which used to be straight, and I try to disguise it as straight.
3. Between my husband and I, we have 22 nieces and nephews (soon to be 23, I just found out yesterday!)
4. I haven’t had a Mountain Dew in 10 days.
5. I currently have 13 packs/tubs of unopened baby wipes in my stockpile. (WHAT??)
6. When I was a little girl, I had a white teddy bear named “Bob.” To torture me, my brothers would stuff Bob’s head into his body, and when I pulled his head back out, all the stuffing would still be in his body. Very traumatic!
7. I hate clipping my toenails.
8. My hubby got me a pink Sony Vaio with my name engraved on it for Christmas. So Emily can take her MacBook and stick it! (This is Emily here, and I will stick with my MacBook. But I’m sure the Vaio is lovely. But I do find it suspicious that you suddenly needed a new laptop after I got a sweet one.)
9. My hubby has a second job as a crack dealer because I need to keep up with Emily. (Emily again – omg I hadn’t read this one before I left my last comment. My suspicions are correct.)
10. That last one is a lie. His second job is actually as a secret agent for the CIA. So yeah.
11. I make my bed about twice a year.
12. I currently own over 20 lip balms. I have a *wee* problem.
13. My maternal grandma’s meatloaf is like my favorite food ever.
14. I never wear a watch.
15. I never go barefoot indoors. Or outdoors.
16. I had a terrible childbirth experience with Joshua and I don’t like to talk about it.
17. Jesus is still all right with me, Jesus is still all right, oh yeah.
18. I found a really nice J.Crew top at Goodwill this weekend for $3.79!
19. I don’t like cooking or cleaning. So I am pretty much the best housewife ever.
20. Listening to my kids sing “Veggie Tales Worship songs” in the car is just about one of my favorite things to do.
21. My car has over 295,000 miles on it. It should hit 300K this summer, at which time we are gonna have a huge par-tay!
22. I really wish I had a Mountain Dew right now.
23. I check my email obsessively like 400 times a day
24. I really need a new laptop bag. So any PR people reading this, feel free to send me one.
25. I just got done doing a kickin’ duet of the “ABC” song with Sophie.

Oh my goodness! That was rough!
