Randomness….

Nikki tagged me to play along, so here goes. I’m supposed to tell 5 random things about myself and 5 places I would like to see/see again. Thanks for tagging me, Nikki, b/c I needed some ideas!

1. I cannot stand to hear people swallowing when they eat or drink.

2. I was a tomboy when I was a kid. Instead of playing with dolls, I preferred trucks. I pronounced truck “f_ck”.  The only doll that I owned was carried around by her hair and she was naked most of the time. My mom must have been worried. I also enjoyed making forts in the woods. Thankfully, my parents were fine with it and they didn’t give me a complex.

3. I use a toothpaste and mouthwash called “Therabreath” because I am paranoid about bad breath. Before Jared and I got married, I would hide it under my cabinet when he came over because I was embarrassed. On our wedding night, I couldn’t hide it anymore, so I told him. His response: “I can’t believe my wife has dragon breath!”

4. I was the matron of honor in my friend, Carla’s wedding. (We’ve been friends since 1st grade) I was responsible for her husband’s ring and left it in my make-up bag. During the exchanging of the rings, I realized I didn’t have it and she had to pretend she was putting his ring on his finger, while I stood there completely red-faced. It was AWFUL!

5.  I don’t dance.  I hate going to weddings where there is dancing because I always feel so stupid if I even attempt to dance.  I think it’s because all of my friends laughed at me in the 7th grade when I was on the cheerleading squad and I tried to do the “Roger Rabbit” for a dance we were doing.

Places I’d like to see/see again:

1.  Pakistan ( I was there in ‘99 and would love to go back someday.  The Himilayas are breathtaking.)

2.  California- I’ve never been anywhere on the West Coast, so really anywhere from CA to WA would be awesome.

3.  Greenland

4.  Colorado- It is by far the most beautiful state I’ve ever visited.

5.   Egypt-I’d love to go see all of the things Gage and I studied this past year.

Now, I’ll tag Emily, Carla, Mimi, Hannah, and Christie
