I recently did this on Facebook & thought I'd share it with you all. Some of the things you may have already known.
1. I love to throw parties. I love hosting people over. I love everything to do with having people over, except for the cleaning that comes before.
2. I love to cook. I love experimenting with food. I'm really good at it too.
3. Mr. Potts was the best chance I ever took.
4. I miss Maddy every day & still look around for her. I don't think I'll ever get over losing her.
5. I told my ex-husband that I would kill him if he tried to keep Maddy. And I meant it.
6. I cry. Easily. The commercial (yes, commercial) that gets me every year is the Folgers one where the son comes home & makes coffee & his mom comes downstairs & sees him. I feel that I am extremely empathetic, which leads to my crying.
7. I once was "mis-placed" in a mall by a forgetful babysitter (could have been an aunt or friend of my mom's, I'm not sure). Luckily they found me.
8. I don't get hangovers. Yep, I know, you hate me.
9. I have an obsession with beautiful handbags. Mr. Potts indulges my obsession & usually gives me a new one for Christmas & birthdays.
10. I love to read. I've been known to buy 10 books at a time so I don't run out & not have anything to read.
11. I'm incredibly goofy. I mean, to a point that Mr. Potts just shakes his head at me. I'm so goofy that I laugh at myself. A lot.
12. I wish I had kept in touch better with people I knew from high school & college.
13. I'm pretty good at the track - the horse track. The last time we went to Derby (Mr. Potts is from Louisville) I won. I won enough that I walked out with as much as I walked in with. Even after buying food & drinks.
14. I met my father when I was 13 & we've built our relationship from there. I'm really proud that we've gotten closer over the last few years.
15. I have been to 42 of the 50 states. I'll probably never visit all 50 - I just can't think of anything that really would take me to South Dakota....nope, probably not.
16. I was mugged when I lived in New Orleans. Right in front of my house. Two days before I was to move back to NC. It was Cinco de Mayo & I had gone with my friends to eat at my favorite Southwestern restaurant (Sante Fe) and then went home. I heard someone behind me & I thought he was asking for change. So I brushed it off with a "I don't have any change." Something in his tone changed & when I turned around I saw the gun & heard the man tell me to give him my money. I was a little inebriated & laughed at him until I realized he was serious.
17. I never carry cash (see #16)
18. I can fall asleep anywhere. It is a special talent I have - this thing for sleeping. I can fall asleep on a plane, in a car, for a quick 30 minute nap. Easy
19. I drink more water than anyone I know. I probably drink anywhere from 2-3 gallons of water a day.
20. I must have coffee every morning. If I don't, I get a headache later.
21. I can only let my hair grow to a certain point. After that, I have to cut it or I get headaches because it is so thick & heavy.
22. I was born missing one of my bottom teeth. It just never grew in. So I'm short a tooth.
23. I am on a first name basis with my periodontist. I've had two mouth surgeries (I won't go into the details - enough to say it was excruciatingly painful) and am a total freak about good oral hygiene. I floss at least twice a day & am a snob about the kind of floss I use.
24. I love my job & feel that I have a lot of growth potential with it.
25. My favorite flowers are tulips. I personally think that roses are over-rated.
Has anyone else experienced 70+ degree weather this weekend? We have enjoyed Spring like weather the last two days and my itch for Spring has started!I could wax on and on for my love of spring in the South. The blooming tulips and daffodils put a smile on my face. The Bradford Pears lined up with their beautiful pink and white blooms remind me of driving down those grand old tree lined streets. The Dogwood trees take me back to growing up as a happy child with my mother and brother. Playing outside in the spring and watching the trees begin to open up their blooms and get ready for a beautiful season.
