To Know Me is To Love Me

So I saw this new little Blog carnival over at another Heidi's place and after investigating, decided it'd be fun to play along - you should come play too!


Kasey (who is ADORABLE, btw) over at All that is Good
thought it would be fun to have a 'getting to know you' kind of blog carnival on Monday's. Every Monday is a different activity/theme. This week she said:

List 10 random things about yourself that people might not know or you just want to share

I've already shared 6 Random Things in a tag, a couple of months ago, so I'll try not to repeat myself.

1. I like salt on my cantaloupe. It's the salty/sweet contrast, yk? Like dipping fries in my frosty at Wendy's? Or pretzels in my ice cream. All very yummy things.

2. When I open a new jar of peanut butter I have to take a spoon and take a bite out of it. Well, I DID have to until B had peanut issues, anyway.

3. I MUST have something to drink at all hours. All day and even all t hrough the night, too. This drives my husband insane. I will drink a full bottle of water throughout the night and sometimes even get up to refill it. I've always been this way; in fact, it's probably why I let all of my kids go to bed with cups of water.

4. I'm not a fan of dogs. Don't judge me. They annoy me with their slobber and licking and barking. Ew. The only exception to the rule is puppies. WHo, unfortunately, grow up to be dogs.

5. I use deodorant on my legs. Not because I have sweaty legs, but after I shave. I even have a separate deodorant *just* for my legs. It helps with any sort of razor burn or irritation from shaving you might get. Try it. You'll see.

6. I love to argue but I hate to fight. I know, I know - what's the difference, right? There's a difference though. I love to PLAYFULLY argue and engage in witty banter and discussion - I do NOT like when things get ugly and tend to flee the scene.

7. I make my husband kiss me goodbye whenever he leaves the house. Look, if it's the LAST time I ever see him I want the last interaction we had to be loving, yk?


Gosh - this is HARD - I can't think of anything else!!

8. I have a gift for remembering song lyrics from songs I haven't heard in 20 years. I can't remember PEOPLE or EVENTs but song lyrics? Oh yeah babe.

9. I'm not done having kids. I don't know if we'll have more biologically or if we'll adopt (which I'd LOVE to do) or maybe we'll just do foster care after the kids are older. Either way, I know that I'm meant to have more kids in some way.


Man...I'm coming up BLANK.

10. OK..I'm gonna break out my super secret fantasy. Once a year I'd like to run away for a long weekdn, alone. I'd stay in a hotel and I'd hardly ever leave the room except to get a facial and food. Maybe sit in the hot tub. I'd eat junk food and watch crappy movies. I'd sleep whenever I wanted. And I wouldn't feel guilty about it, at all.

There ya go. 10 (plus the other 6 if you read those!) random things about me. Play along and go link up over at Kasey's!!
