Everything you never knew
1 - I am completely addicted to sweet tea.
2 - I will drive out of my way to certain restaurants to get a good glass of sweet tea.
3 - I don’t have a sweet tooth, just an addiction to sweet tea.
4 - I am almost completely ambidextrous.
5 - Although I can write with both hands, I usually write with my right, but sign my name and do everything else with my left.
6 - I love lyrics. One bad word can ruin a song to where I won’t listen to it. Case in point, “The Way You Love Me” by Faith Hill.
7 - If during a moment of zoning while driving I come across a memory that is less than pleasant, I change the radio station in a desperate plea to supress it.
8 - I have perfect pitch, but not the most impressive singing voice. Only my car, shower and closest friends can attest to that.
9 - I love “Family Guy.”
10 - I’m addicted to the Internet. I work on the Internet all day, and could find enough to entertain me all night as well.
11 - I spend most of my nights with the kids. I’m trying to find a way to get away from them at least a night a week.
12 - One thing I’d like to do is return to cycling, but my knee is so weak that I’m hesitant to get on the roads quite yet.
13 - It is weak from surgery. It’s the only one I’ve had to date.
14 - I was hit by a car when road cycling in college. Hence the surgery.
15 - I rode as often as I could then; I was addicted to it.
16 - I am one of the fastest downhill cyclers in town. And I’m a girl.
17 - However, I really hate climbing hills. What I really need is a ski lift.
18 - I went to New Zealand when I was in college. I didn’t want to come back.
19 - I was just getting over a nasty case of the chicken pox. It was summer there and I walked around in shorts, showing off my spots.
20 - I am covered in spots, only my freckles aren’t going to disappear in 3-6 weeks.
21 - My daughter called them my boo-boos when she was little.
22 - Now she has “boo-boos,” including her mama’s beauty mark on the right side of her nose. She also calls chap-stick “soap,” Japanese
steakhouses “the fire place,” and restaurants “eat stores.” I think it’s cute, but my husband thinks she needs to learn the correct terms.
23 - My husband is basically a PR writer. He’s probably the least talkative person you’re likely to meet.
24 - We met in Beafort where we both worked on the newspaper.
25 - We lived two blocks from the water. I really miss it.
26 - And the trees with their Spanish moss.
27 - My favorite colors are greens, except for the bright shades. It’s been my favorite since I was 6.
28 - My favorite green is the color of my kids’ eyes.
29 - I am the apple of my father’s eye, but almost a perfect mix of both my parents. Which I think leads my mother to love and hate me in parallel.
30 - My favorite movie has been “Sense and Sensibility” since 1995.
31 - I was 15 and saw it with my first love.
32 - The best smell in the world is a tie between my grandmother and my husband.
33 - I don’t like shoes. I never have.
34 - I hate 3 a.m. I call it the “witching hour.” Nothing good ever happens at 3 a.m.
35 - My biggest aversion is bodily fluids. Tears, snot, vomit, blood -- ALL bodily fluids.
36 - I have a very weak disposition. I can pass out or throw up pretty much on command. Any of the above bodily fliuds can incite either reaction.
37 - I comb my hair with my fingers. I was ecstatic when the bedhead look became posh. I have that mastered.
38 - I am not girly. I have only painted my nails once in the last 5 years. That was for my wedding.
39 - I am extremely meticulous. I wish I had the time to prove it.
40 - I love My South.
41 - I’m not a big fan of Augusta, although I think we’re here to stay for a while.
42 - If I have to stay, I’d like to find a big farm where my kids could run free and not send me into a panic attack while I’m inside making dinner.
43 - I cook. As to whether I “like” to cook depends on the day, how much sleep I’ve had and whether or not I get compliments after the food is served.
44 - I do like to eat. I am of the at least three meals a day mentality and my kids always have five. They are tall and strong.
45 - I’m learning to like sushi.
46 - I can eat an entire jar of jelly bellys in a single sitting. A bag of Twizzlers hits the spot as well. I try to not do either too often.
47 - I don’t care for chocolate. However, if my sugar levels drop, I crave it late at night.
48 - I have never smoked. Anything.
49 - I also don’t care for alcohol. I am one of those rare freaks that doesn’t drink.
50 - But I will drink mass quantities of sweet tea.
