Random Facts

I was not originally tagged, but I wanted to share some random information for fun!
My job is to share 7 (8 - read #1) random, weird, or totally odd things about myself. Some things people may know and some they don't! So here goes...

1) I hate hate hate odd numbers. I think I have a little OCD and odd numbers drive me crazy because you can't fit things into them evenly. I always choose things with even numbers concert/movie tickets, seats, phone numbers (mine has all even #s), and anything else that would be numbered. And now I don't even pay attention to it, my friends call me out on it!

2) Growing up I was a cat person. I probably had about 50 cats as a kid, seriously. I was never into having animals in my house and tried to avoid dogs wherever I went. Now, I have 3 dogs and work at a vet clinic. Go figure.

3) I want a baby more than anything in the world. And I have since I was two years old and my parents brought my little brother home from the hospital. Every single birthday I asked for a baby doll, usually a Cabbage Patch. At one point in my life I had over 40 baby dolls and 26 of them were Cabbage Patch dolls. I always pictured myself with a baby and always knew I would be a mom, oddly enough I never saw a husband in my future.

4) Music is a-mazing. I can turn on music and it changes my whole mood. I can always put myself back in that moment when I first heard that song, or it brings back memories of certain people and places. And I LOVE to sing, but I happen to be really bad at it. One time while singing on the American Idol game, Simon told me I was the definition of tone deaf. Yeah, I'm that bad.

5) I don't care much for pizza, icecream, or chocolate. I've been told I'm un-American. I can have a little of each, but I never really crave any of them. As a kid I loved all 3, but as I've gotten older I guess my taste buds have changed.

6) I talk a lot. I am soooo chatty all the time. I'm always laughing, making jokes, and smiling. Even on really really bad days, I manage to put a smile on my face and pretend my world isn't coming down around me. It probably stems from childhood when my mom was on chemo and I had to go to school an act like things were fine because I didn't want people feeling sorry for me. I hate getting the "pity look".

7) I'm in love with Vince Vaughn. He's so adorable and funny, and I know he plays the same character in every movie, but it still manages to make me laugh. He's my
2nd husband, he just doesn't know it yet.

8) I love listening to the Howard Stern show. I've been listening for about 5 or 6 years. I used to listen everyday when I worked in a cube and wasn't allowed to talk to my co-workers so I put on my headphones and would turn Stern on and then get in trouble for laughing out loud.



Now my job is to tag seven others who will have to follow these basic rules:

* link your original tagger(s), and list these rules on your blog.

* share seven facts about yourself in the post - some random, some weird.

* tag seven people at the end of your post by leaving their names and the links to their blogs.

* let them know they've been tagged by leaving a comment on their blogs and/or twitter.


I don't feel like tagging anyone else today so if you feel like being tagged go for it and link back here or let me know so I can go read yours!
