Tagged: 15 facts about yourself

The super stylish and sweet Kristen @ Honestly Kristen tagged me last week to write fifteen facts about myself, so what Kristen wants, Kristen gets!  Here we go y'all ... let's see what interesting facts I can come up with:

1. I start to suffocate if I'm in a car with no air circulation.  The air conditioning has to be on or the windows cracked.  If not, I feel like I can't breathe and start to gasp for air.  I'm so dramatic. 

2. From the moment my nephew was born, I've been psycho about checking on him while he sleeps.  I check on his breathing obsessively throughout the night to make sure his belly is moving up and down.  I used to be a lot worse when he was a baby, but I still do it several times before I can go to bed myself.  Awww, look at baby Reesey:

3. I cannot go to the grocery store without a list and I make my lists in order of what area I am going to hit first to last.  Please tell me I'm not the only one.

4. I hate showering, but obviously I do it.  I just dread it every night, and force myself to do it.  

5. I know Coach Beiste on Glee is a woman, but I kind of refuse to believe it.  I still BBM Patty every episode and say "there is NO WAY that is a woman!"   Am I right or am I right?

6. I accidentally set my Blackberry on fire in my oven a few years ago.  Yes, you read that correctly.  Try explaining that one to AT&T.  Basically "what happened was" ... I was at Happy Hour after work one Friday, a Miller Lite slipped from my hands into my purse and spilled all over my Blackberry.  I'm addicted to my phone, so obviously I was devastated.  A co-worker who was there told me to take my phone apart, put all the pieces in the oven because apparently it is the "driest" place in the house and leave it in there overnight to dry out.  I was given explicit instructions NOT to turn the oven on.  Well, I had a few too many sips of the sweet nectar and decided I wanted to bake some shrimp.   I'm sure you can see where this is going.  I turned my oven on to preheat at 450 completely forgetting about my phone.  A few minutes later I smell a horrendous smell, realize I'm preheating my phone and run frantically to the oven.  MY PHONE WAS ON FIRE.  I had to get a spatula and fling it out of there. Needless to say, I have yet to live that one down. 

7. I have a problem burping, it's a horrible habit.  It's really bad after a beer or carbonated drinks.  And I'm single because?

8. Practical jokes and pranks make my life - there is absolutely nothing that makes me laugh harder.  Boiling Points on MTV was the best show ever, I'm so upset it's no longer on the air.  I YouTube old episodes frequently to get a good laugh.  Hahahaha I'm laughing now just thinking about it. This one is one of my faves because the people's reactions are PRICELESS.  It's disgusting, so be warned:

9. I have never been outside the country except to Mexico, but if you live in Texas that doesn't count as "outside the country".  There are so many places I want to travel to, I can't wait to be rich enough to see the world!

10.  I change into sweats/lounge clothes the second I walk through my door.  I can't stand to be in work clothes or jeans unless I have to. 

11. Anytime I see a restaurant that is shut down, I get really sad for the owners. I am sure they put all their hopes and dreams in it and I get a sad feeling for them and I don't even know them!

12. I walked to and from school every day in middle school.  I would frequently have fake conversations with myself.  Normal?

13. Speaking of fake convos ... When I was little my favorite thing to do with my Cabbage Patch Dolls was pretend we were flying cross-country.  I would make a fake "airplane" row out of my trundle bed, bring changes of clothes to change them on the plane and act the whole thing out.  Like, what?  Flying with babies cross-country would be awful.  At the time I thought it was the funnest thing ever.  Oh, the mind of a child.

14.  Apparently I used to rock a hot pink fanny pack. Exhibit A:

15. I'm going to "tag" any of you out there who wants to do this post too.  Please go right ahead, I'd love to read 15 interesting facts about you pretty ladies.  I love getting to know y'all better!
