My Random Life

My life is random. Really random. Apparently people enjoyed reading my ten random facts about myself on Facebook, so I'm listing lots more. (Disclaimer: I am not normal. I already know this. Feel free to judge.)

1) In third grade, I told my teacher I was going to be a koala when I grew up. I was serious. My hopes and dreams died that day. 

2) I only drink coffee on school days; not on weekends, holiday breaks, or summer breaks. 

3) I have four fake teeth. 

4) I once had a green station wagon. 

5) Rather than washing dirty dishes, I often throw them away. 

6) I hate hugs. 

7) I once wore a tracksuit to a funeral. 

8) I only like clear barrel blue Bic pens. 

9) I haven't shopped for groceries since January. 

10) I once chased my sister around with a dead fish and almost got strangled for it.

11) My bedtime is 8:05.

12) My closet is color coded, and I only use white hangers. 

13) I have a super small foot--size 4.5. 

14) I once had to do my laundry in the bathtub. 

15) I can sing in the car for hours without missing one word. 

16) One time I was pulled over for expired tags, but then also got written up for an old address on my license, and for not carrying an insurance card. (I didn't know I was supposed to have one. He asked for my insurance card, and I gave him my Humana card.)

17) I have like 47 pair of the same pants. 

18) I have a natural talent for making up games in the swimming pool. 

19) I can't swim, and I "drown" very often. 

20) I was the youngest and shortest person in my high school graduating class. 

21) I once went on a "Domino's buffalo wings diet". After that, a "Long Johns diet". No wonder I'm obese. 

22) I don't like odd numbers. I'm not superstitious...I just like for things to be even. 

23) At night, I lay everything out for the morning in the order I will need it.  Also, after I feed the baby, I immediately set the high chair up for the next feeding...napkin, baby food, spoon, bib, etc.

24) I used to sing and dance in front of the window in my bedroom with one leg up on my foot board. I thought I looked cool. (That was in middle school. I don't do it now.)

25) In fourth grade my teacher made me mad, so I popped her brand new, large, inflatable globe that she treasured. 

26) I only have Tervis Tumblers to drink out of. 

27) Every day I match my Tervis to my outfit. 

28) In my first few years of driving, I hit the following objects: 3 parked cars, 7 light poles, a row of mailboxes, a Sonic machine, an ATM machine, and an old man.  (I called the police on two of those occasions and turned myself in...probably not the two you are thinking of.)

29) I auditioned for the role of young Jenny in Forrest Gump. I obviously didn't get it. 

30) I did, however, make it into this cheesy music video, along with the rest of my family. 


31) I only shave my legs on June 1st.

32) I started a hip hop dance club after school my first year of teaching. I don't dance. 

33) I tried to mow my yard one time. My neighbor let me borrow his riding mower. I didn't know how to make a turn other than a circle. So, my yard looked like a giant crop circle. I've never mowed since.

34) I don't own a coat. 

35) I don't own a watch. 

36) I am pretty sure I have Misophonia. I cannot stand to hear people eat.

37) I never wanted to go to college. 

38) My nieces call me "Ninny" because of a joke. 

39) I really love granny panties. 

40) My first job was as a telemarketer. 

41) My Christmas tree and packages have to match my living room. 

42) I just learned that my eyes are hazel, not green. 

43) I once ran through a screen door.

44) I am only 3/4" taller than the requirement to be in a booster seat.

45) Everything in my house has to be symmetrical.

46) I have no color in my house. Everything is neutral.

47) I once had the cops called on me in high school because my teacher thought she heard me say I was going to bomb the school. I never said that.

48) I am terrified of cave crickets. I used to call my old neighbor crying every time I saw one. He would come and kill it. I am sure that he's glad I moved.

49) I am a reading teacher, but I do not like to read. 

50) I sometimes think I look like a ferret.

Logan calls my sister "Yaya" because she used to yell out "weenah (wiener) " to make him laugh and that's how he could say it back. He has no recollection of the origin though.
