Day 15 - 15 Interesting Facts About Yourself

I don't know if there is really anything interesting about me, whatsoever.  I generally find myself bland and boring - just a normal girl with normal thoughts.  So, this one is going to be hard and will probably take me all night long to come up with.

  1. I am a worrier - I worry about the dumbest things - I worry about everyone and everything.  I have been known to wake up in the middle of the night and not be able to go back to sleep because I am worrying about things; an example of this and one I don't live down very well is that when Zach was about 18 months old, I started worrying about a mountain lion sneaking into the yard and stalking him while he might be outside playing in the backyard or something.  I could not go back to sleep because this became a real possibility in my brain.
  2. It has to be really, really cold for me to actually wear a coat.  Generally, I wear a jacket.  Unless, of course, I am going out on the town - then I wear my beautiful coat from Christmas.
  3. Halloween is my favorite holiday.
  4. Valentines Day is my least favorite holiday.
  5. I have a horrible habit of picking at and chewing at my cuticles. 
  6. I am the baby in my family and was 5 years younger than my brother, 10, 13 and 15 years younger than my sisters.
  7. In 36 days I will have worked at my job for thirty years.
  8. I would much rather text you than talk to you on the phone.
  9. I took my kids and stood in line for three hours to meet Bill Clinton back in 1992 when he was first running for president - we were at the front of the crowd because we waited and he shook each of their hands and talked to them - and hugged me.  To this day, when the subject comes up, I tell people how I had Bill Clinton's chest in my face.
  10. I was a Sterling Scholar my senior year in high school - in business education.
  11. I have been married three times - my first one lasted about two years (we only lived together a little over one), the second one lasted sixteen and ended in his death and now I am married to the dorkiest man in the world and I adore him - we've been married almost seven years.
  12. I have very few people I consider close friends - but, those that I do are very important people to me.  I don't let people get that close to me - and reveal very little about myself if I can get away with it.
  13. I am on four prescription medications - one for my thyroid,  one for my stomach, one for cholesterol and a muscle relaxer for my neck.
  14. I love spinach raw - I hate spinach cooked; I find it slimy.
  15. There is nothing I like better than to laugh so hard I think I am going to pee my pants and my stomach hurts.

    1. By the way - my detest of Valentine's Day comes from the fact that my birthday is the day before - hence, I have never been treated to a Valentine or such, really. It's always a birthday/Valentine mixture. So, I have just resigned to the fact that Valentine's Day doesn't matter, because nobody really wants to acknowledge it for me.

  2. I suspect that #8 is directly influenced by #7.
