Re-Runs and Leftovers: Getting to Know Me

(an excerpt from a reallllly long post...)

15 random things about myself:

1. I have a mole on my forehead that I want removed. Badly. It started out as a cute little mole when I was a kid and has morphed into this massive old lady mole. I keep waiting for it to start talking like the boil on that kids' face in Fairly Odd Parents.

2. I have a potty mouth. It's horrible, really. All three of my kids said the 'S' word in their top five first words. Gold star for mommy.

3. Right after Rob and I got married, I got back the dreaded "Bad Pap". I had to have numerous procedures to remove all of the cancerous and precancerous cells on my cervix - the final one being that they cut a portion of my cervix off. Did you know that your cervix regenerates itself?! Anyway. I haven't had a bad pap since.

4. I used to smoke. Hush. Stop saying Eww. Yk what? If it didn't, yk, kill people? I'd still smoke. I miss it. I enjoyed it. So there.

5. My favorite drink is a strawberry margarita on the rocks. Jose Cuervo IS a friend of mine. Well, he was. I haven't had one in 5 years or more.

6. I don't like cake. Or pancakes.

7. In high school most of the girls thought I was a slut, but I was still a virgin.

8. I love the smell of my husbands deoderant.

9. When we go out to eat at a family restaurant, 90% of the time I get the same thing: Chicken Fried Steak with hashbrown and eggs. Well, I used to before we had Brennan.

10. I don't like it when people (other than my immediate family) touch me. I hate that everyone feels the need to hug you wherever you go. Haven't seen me in awhile? Awww *hug* What? I've been sick? Awww *hug* You've been constipated? Awww! *hug* Ugh. Get off of me already.

11. To follow that up - I don't kiss people. Keep your spit to yourself, thankyouverymuch. I kiss my mom and dad - on the cheek and only on ocassion. I kiss the kids and Rob more freely. It's personal and intimate an I'd really rather not have that moment with you, mmkay?

12. I broke my tailbone when I was 20. I was hanging out with some of Rob's friends and there was imbibing going on. We went exploring in a house that was being constructed across the field. It was the middle of the night. It was dark. I fell through the hole in the floor where the stairs would eventually go, to the sub floor. Still hurts.

13. I love beef. Hamburger being my favorite. It's so ghetto white trash, I know. It is what it is.

14. I don't vaccinate the kids with every recommended vax, and I delay them so they're not getting a bunch at once. I think the flu vax is a crock.

15. I don't believe in circumcision. If you want to do it, that's fine, I'm not going to berate you or tell you you're wrong. I don't usually even speak out about it but I do not think it is a medically necessary procedure and it most often done for cosmetic reasons and to uphold tradition.

There ya go..15 random things about me, as they popped into my head.

Ouch on the tailbone! I used to smoke too but don't miss it for the most part.

Mmmm...chicken fried steak!

I used to smoke too, and only qiut because it does kill you and makes you wrinkly, and stinky! I promised myself I wouldn'r smoke when I had kids. My grandma used to smoke with us in the car and the window only cracked! Man, that sucked!

JenT said...

Oooh...I love the smell of MY husband's deodorant too! It's Old Spice. He thinks I'm weird. :)

Number 10 has me cracking up...you are so funny! I'm not a big hugger either! And how do you not like cake...what's not to like about cake?!?

Emily said...

That's a lot of information.
Let's see:
1. I'm a moley person too and hate it.

2. The more kids I have the more I want to cuss.

3. Scary. Glad you're OK now.

4. Love smoking and drinking. Go here (http://laurenandemilyarebrutallyhonest.blogspot.com/) if you want to read about my "real" life.

7. I was a huge tease and proud of it. I also was a cheater (not on tests, but on boyfriends...not so proud of that, but that's OK).

12. Ouch, ouch, ouch, ouch!

The flu vax IS a bunch of crock because it only protects you from a certain flu. You never get the same flu because your body builds up antibodies from the last time you had it. Each time you get the flu its different.

My husband gets it because he works for a pharmacy company and they give them to employees for free. He always gets sick a week after.

Me on the other hand, I will never get the flu vaccination and I never get sick. So take that flu vaccinators. :)

Okay, #10 and #11...this is good to know. Mainly because if we ever meet, I had already planned to give you a bear hug and plant a biiiiig, wet kiss right on the mouth. LOL Just kidding...really...don't look at me like that! ;-)

Susie said...

Love the getting-to-know you posts! I am getting closer to the essence of you:-)

He & Me + 3 said...

So when we meet in person some day, I probably shouldn't reach out and give you a big ole bear hug? LOL Love the new pics of the kids on the side. Cute

Bethany said...

I'm the same with the hugs. I give them willingly to little kids at school and kids I babysit, that's about it! Ouch on the tailbone!!!!
