35 SILLY THINGS ABOUT ME
1. My nickname as a toddler was "Crash Pits" because I purposely rammed my walker into everything in sight.
2. Up until a few years ago, I kinda hated St. Patrick's Day, because I felt like it took over the whole month of March, when people should be focusing on my birthday at the beginning of the month. Lately, I have decided to embrace the green within myself.
3. I was so nervous to join Facebook because I imagined that it would be scary to reconnect with people I haven't spoken to in years or decades. Now I am an addict. I can admit this.
4. I hate olives, and anything that olives have touched.
5. I paint my toenails and wear toe rings year round, because my toes make me happy.
6. It is March, and by the end of the month I will most likely have switched to flip flops and open toe shoes (see #5) and won't confine my tooties again until October.
7. I spent the majority of my summer vacations during Junior High and High School with my nose in a book. I have always preferred reading to just about any other pastime.
8. I didn't explore my "wild side" until my twenties. God, I miss those days sometimes!
9. I swear-to-God, I didn't take a sip of alcohol until after my 21st birthday.
10. I don't like to be in a state of altered-consciousness. The very thought of being drunk or high makes me a little sick. That's not to say I'm not up for a little crazy-sh*t stone-cold sober, though.
11. I strongly dislike coconut...but not as much as olives.
12. I have lived in the Greater Binghamton Area all of my life (since before it was the GBA) and honestly, I can't imagine living any where else. That may make me small minded, I don't know, but this is home to me, and say what you want about the Bing, I love it.
13. When I was little, I didn't like peanut butter and jelly. At all. Weird, huh?
14. When I was little, I also didn't like the color pink. At all.
15. I didn't own a cd player until I was in college, but I was the first person I knew with internet access, thanks to my techy dad. (1994 for both)
16. The only honest-to-goodness physical fight I have ever been in involved a bottle of strawberry syrup and shampoo.
17. I'm so picky about music, even I don't know what I like. My ipod is a schizophrenic collection of pop, country, hippie, classics, 80's and 90's.
18. However, as eclectic as it is, my husband can't find one thing he likes on my ipod. Not enough Pink Floyd, I guess.
19. I'm kinda jealous of my daughter. She has an awesome life.
20. I hate snow.
21. It just snowed about 2 feet on my birthday. Phtttttttttttp!
22. My first wedding was in the middle of May. It snowed. That probably should have been taken as an omen.
23. I have two tattoos and I recently realized that I appropriately have a flower on my ankle (ground) and the moon and star on my shoulder (sky). I totally didn't do that on purpose. But I'm glad it's not the other way around!
24. As much as I like to read, I really have no desire to have a Kindle or Nook, etc. There's just something about having the actual book that I can't imagine giving up.
25. Consequently, I have books in every room of my house. Literally.
26. I will probably end up that little old lady with so many books crammed into my house that the fire department has to come in with a crow bar to get me and my cats out.
27. That was a joke. I hope.
28. My favorite time of day is bedtime. Mine.
29. My second favorite time of day is Giuliana's bedtime, when we say her "Thank You Prayer" and pick one or two things from the day that we are thankful for.

30. I'm trying not to repeat my 25 Random Things About Me or my list of 100 Blessings, and this is harder than I thought. Guess I'm not silly enough! Wait...that can't be true.
31. I didn't have my first real kiss until I was 19. I was such a freaking good girl.
32. I'm a bit of a neat freak. I have a reputation for stealing cups and plates to put in the sink before people are done using them, because I can't stand to have them just sitting around. I think the reports of this habit are highly exaggerated.
33. I also pick up my daughter's toys at least 2 or 3 times before bedtime because I can't deal with them all over the floor. But I gotta tell ya, she's learning to pick up her stuff!
34. When I was in high school I had clothes all over my room and kept a collection of shoes under the dining room table. I have no idea how my mother put up with me. I couldn't have put up with me.
35. I make up random little songs for my daughter about everyday things we do. We have a song for brushing her teeth, for getting up in the morning, for eating, etc. I inherited this trait from my mom, who also makes up silly little songs. She and G have a song for school days, for example. I haven't followed in her footsteps and made up a song about changing dirty underwear, though. That's just going too far, mom!
