Tall Mom tagged me to play along and share 21 random bits & pieces that you may not know about me.
Here goes…
1. I’ve lived within about a 10 mile radius my entire life, in 6 different homes (3 with my family, 3 with hubs). It would take a lot for me to move away; I love it here.
2. I am terrified of flying, but that doesn’t stop me from travelling. This year I learned that Ativan helps.
3. The biggest prize I ever won was a one-week trip to London from a radio station in 2007. I took my Mom.
4. I’ve never touched a cigarette in my life, but every one of my immediate family members, and their significant others, smoke – against my protestations! I would give anything for them to quit.
5. I worry about my family all the time.
6. My worst habit is biting my nails.
7. Hubs and I first met in our grade 10 calculus class. We recently discovered (through Facebook!) that the secretary at our physiotherapist’s office is married to that math teacher.
8. I often have a strong desire to shave my head – one day I will do it!
9. I change out of my work clothes the instant I get home every single day. I’m comfortable enough all day, but when I walk in the door I suddenly find them intolerable.
10. We recently cancelled our home phone and decided to stick with just cell phones. I had a mild panic attack when we first cut it off, but we have not missed it. And I only tried to make a call from the disconnected handset once.
11. I have only ever had 3 job interviews (and 3 jobs) in my life.
12. I can’t be bothered to blow-dry my hair 90% of the time; I leave the house with wet hair almost every day, even in the winter. That’s what hats are for.
13. I wish I liked seafood, but I just don’t. Sometimes I will eat fresh fish from the lake when we’re camping, because somehow it doesn’t taste as “fishy”.
14. I hate the taste of coffee and that includes coffee-flavoured desserts.
15. My lucky/favourite number is 13, probably because of my Birthday. I love when it falls on Friday the 13th!
16. I am not superstitious.
17. I could watch Friends reruns all day long, but I don’t enjoy Seinfeld and I can’t stand The Simpsons.
18. I always used to sleep like a rock from the time my head hit the pillow until my alarm went off, and never remembered any dreams. Over the past year or so I have started waking up a couple times per night and remembering all kinds of dreams. I must be sleeping lighter in my old age. 
19. I am a freak about clutter and tend to put things away without even thinking about it – sometimes when they are still in use. I also have a very hard time sitting down to a meal without cleaning up the kitchen first.
20. I’m very particular about the way the dishwasher is loaded.
21. I don’t like pumpkin pie. (Happy Thanksgiving!) Actually, I’m not much of a pie person in general. Except peanut butter pie. Other than that, pass the cupcakes please!
I’m tagging the people who commented on yesterday’s post:
I was “supposed” to tag 10 and that’s only 9, so consider yourself tagged if you’d like to play along!
If you do #8 then I will too. I’ve been dying to do it as well since I am losing my hair anyway (the wife would not be happy but it will grow back I say)
And we have to revisit our friendship as I am a huge Seinfeld fan…….and I don’t watch The Simpsons either.
I clean up the kitchen as I’m cooking b/c I’m the same way.
Maybe I should just do my 21 things right here…..haha!
I always love list like these. Nice mix
I’m with you on 8 & 9, but I’m so sad that you’re not a Seinfeld fan!!
I’ve lived within a 2 mile radius in 2 houses my entire life…finally considering moving. Scared to death!!
I don’t dry my hair either. Yeah I’m not the only one.
I love your list. So with you on #19. And I love that you want to shave your head! I say do it!
I am with you on the seafood and coffee thing! Also, the ability to watch Friends episodes over and over
Nice list!
You don’t like PIE?!!!!
Great list, fun to learn more about you!! Ick, I hate smoking so I don’t blame you for protesting! Both my parents smoked – IN THE HOUSE – while I was growing up. They both quit about 6 years ago and I’m SO glad. I don’t know how I stood it as a kid and a teenager. BLEGH.
I <3 Friends. I've seen every episode sooo many times I can usually just listen to it while doing something else and still no exactly what's happening on the TV
wow you won a trip, that is so cool!! i always have wondered if those turn out to be a great deal or not.
we haven’t had a home phone since…2004. crazy!
Kudos to you for not succumbing to the smoking habit. So hard when everyone around you smokes.
Thanks for the tag! I’ll get on it!
I loved reading this post — so many things I didn’t know about you. Especially the whole shave your head one. I bet you would look fierce with a shaved head — and it would probably make you run even faster! LOL!
I live within a 10 mile radius of where I grew up. The only year I didn’t live close by I lived in Canada!
love your new bloggy blog!!! <3
We are so alike…I put stuff away all the time and it drive the hubs nuts.
And cupcakes
And cellphones
And worry
But I like me some coffee…
you are a worry wart
but so am i.
umm. you shouldn’t have even had a home phone line to begin with. old school. just kidding. actually i’ve heard that those are pretty handy to have in case of emergency — police/fire dept can trace your land line to your exact address but they can’t do that with a cell phone? i think? maybe that’s a snopes thing i heard and fell for. who knows.
let me know when you shave your head. i’ve always wished someone would do that for me… you know, like how a friend/family member does for a cancer patient in the movies.
Thanks for tagging me. We have a few things in common: 9, 10, 11 almost (this is my 4th job and I’m working for over 20 years now), 13 and 20. I don’t like clutter either and can’t sit down after dinner till the kitchen is clean.
Hah, this might sound weird but a lot of your “quirks” (characteristics, habits, etc) sound a Lot like D! More often than not my things have been put away and I’m like “uh…I was using that…”
On the hair note – I bet yours is very soft and healthy, avoiding all that heat/dry damage.
I totally agree about your taste in TV shows- not into Seinfeld or the Simpons- LOVE friends. I also leave my house with my hair wet every day. It sometimes freezes in the winter
8, 12, and 17 are me as well!
Everyone thinks I’m crazy for having a desire to shave my head…but deep down there is a strange urge!
Good for you on #4 — sorry about the fam, though. Maybe eventually they will quit!
This is such a fun post!!
