25 Random Things

Saw this over on www.CreativelySouthern.com this morning and thought I'd join in on the fun!

1. If anyone asks, I automatically say that my favorite color is green.  But I really like them all.  Except yellow.  I don't think anyone looks good in yellow.
2. I eat a brown sugar cinnamon pop-tart every morning at my desk.  Monday through Friday. 
3. I was a cheerleader in high school.
4. I'm not a cake person but I do like cupcakes! They are the perfect proportion.  Not too big.  Not too little. But I don't like a ton of frosting. 
5.  I have a cup of darjeeling tea every morning.
6.  I have a Schwepp's ginger ale every night. 
7.  I have a hard time throwing away old address books or planners.
8.  If money was no object, I'd have a personal chef.  I really, really, really hate to cook.
9.  I truly believe that some people should not wear yoga pants or leggings in public. 
10.  I am addicted to lip gloss. 
11.  I've had the same Brighton key chain for about 15 years. 
12.  I wear a size 5 shoe but they are very, very hard to find so I end up buying a 6 and then using inserts and/or heel cushions to make them fit better.
13.  I have to read a little bit each night before I go to bed to soothe my head.
14.  I don't like pancakes.
15.  I don't like diet soft drinks of any kind.
16.  The change purse in my wallet is filled with coins but none of them are US currency.  I carry around coins from Jamaica (our honeymoon 20 years ago), Pesos from Cabo and Cancun and Euros from my trip with T.  I also have casino chips from Vegas and a merry go round token from the Birmingham Zoo.
17.  I keep the cards from the flowers Coach has sent me over the years in my wallet and take a look at them when I need a pick-me-up.
18.  I have never worn false eyelashes.
19.  I have never broken a bone in my body.  The closest I've ever come is a really bad sprained ankle. 
20.  I've never had anything removed from my body either (other than 2 kids).  I still have my spleen, my kidneys, my gall bladder etc. 
21.  I was lucky enough to know both sets of grandparents and two great-grandmothers. 
22.  I'm pretty prompt.  I'm rarely, if ever, late.
23.  I clean out my handbag once a week.
24.  I've never played a real game of golf.  Mini-golf, yes.
25.  Still don't like bananas or coconuts. 

Whoo Hoo! Lots Going On!

Thursday's can be hard because we're all anxiously awaiting Friday but it's also "It's OK Thursdays" AND there are some fun swaps to get involved in!




It's OK . . .

...to accept the fact that now that lacrosse season is underway, my life is basically over until May

...to be proud of yourself when you remember to take your vitamins

...to really not give a flip what Beyonce & Jay-Z named their baby girl

...to eat Frosted Brown Sugar Cinnamon Pop-Tarts 5-days a week at my desk for breakfast

...that I was very, very disappointed in Monday's night's National Championship game! Don't get me wrong! I'm crazy excited that Alabama won, I'm just very disappointed in LSU. I felt they didn't even show up to the game and I really wanted a much closer score. I kind of feel cheated.

...to be a little sad each time I read about a celebrity couple breaking up (i.e., Katy Perry & Russell Brand). Relationships are tough! I don't care who you are!
