Random Facts About Me

Okay. Seems everyone is playing this game on Facebook right now, and I have been really entertained by reading everybody's posts. I decided to type mine here on the blog, mostly becuz I'm long winded and I highly doubt it will entertain you nearly as much as all the others I've been reading, have entertained me.  I had NO idea how the game worked, and I "liked" every "Random Facts About Me" post I read. So, I'm not sure what number I've actually been assigned, I'm just gonna list as many as I can come up with.
I also feel like I'm pretty much an open book, so I'm going to skip the obvious stuff, like I'm married, have 2 kids, love music.

 Here goes:

1. I really do try to eat an apple-a-day. Honeycrisp are my apple of choice, followed closely by the Granny Smith. And I love to eat them with peanut butter. I eat lots of peanut butter too!!!
2. I've only ever set 2 real major goals in my entire lifetime. I feel like maybe it's time to change this about myself. Hopefully I'm not too old for such things.
3. I enjoy the process of picking out pieces/elements for a project, and planning the project more than I actually enjoy executing the project.
4. I now own 20 scarves. {At least 3 of them have skulls on them!}
5. I also own more than 20 beanies/winter hats! I consider the buying/wearing of them to be the ONLY good reason for chilly weather. I start wearing mine, about the time the temps drop to 50degrees F.
6. I love social media, in spite of the constant drama. I have several "social media" accounts including  Facebook, Instagram, Twitter, Pinterest, 2 email accounts, and this blog, I also read several blogs that other people write. But one of  my pet peeves is when people hashtag # just for the sport of hastagging!! There once was a specific purpose for the # and I'm not sure if people don't realize this or just don't care. But it annoys me.
7. I dislike Christmas. I'm not opposed to people celebrating it, or ANY other holiday of their choice/religious/spiritual beliefs, but I feel like it's just such a waste of money. And NO holiday should be about money/gifts, but it seems like that's all anyone cares about. I dislike buying gifts for people unless I know EXACTLY what they would like. I hate the idea of wasting my money on a gift they won't like. I'd rather spend my money on myself and have others spend their money on themselves, and know we are ALL getting what we'd like, not just more crap.
8. I rarely ever read "adult" books. I prefer the "young adult" books. I could never belong to a book club becuz I dislike the idea of debating about what an author meant by this or that or all that other stuff. It's a story, in which I escaped the everyday of my world for a few minutes, and I was entertained. I would rather not read into it anymore than that.
9. I would prefer to be barefoot at all times, if I could.
10. I wold LOVE to move someplace warm where I could be barefoot all the time, if I wanted to. I am always cold, and I dislike the cold, dreary months of winter.
11. I LOVE planners/organizers. I enjoy the act of organizing but yet I am the MOST disorganized person I know. Problem is, I can never follow through with using of my planner, like one should. Mostly cuz I feel a bit odd using it. Let's be honest, I don't have an important job that  requires me carrying one all the time. But if I did, I would!! I often have it in my purse, but can't say, "let me whip out my planner and write that info down!" I use the calendar in my iphone a lot too.
12. I love crows/ravens. Any bird of prey actually. But the crows truly seem  to have made a connection to my family specifically. {Or maybe I'm just hokey and a bit crazy.} Either way, I love them, and even have several as decoration in my house, that stay up year round, not just at Halloween time.
13. I have 4 tattoo's. Would like several more, and am planning to get a new one in December for my daughters 21st Birthday. {She will be getting a similar one.} If I looked good naked, I would have a ton of tattoo's. But I don't feel like any tattoo artist should be subjected to my nudity!! I would love to get a tattoo by Kat VonD.
14. I would love to travel. Not just here within the US but I'd like to go to Europe, Australia, Africa, and on a Polar bear expedition. I have never left this country, except to go to Canada fishing.
15. I hate running. HATE it. I get too bored, and my body {mostly my joints} just hurt too much when I run. But I have been trying to run at least 1 mile, several times per week. I'm pretty sure my 5K days are over. I have been trying to bike. I would be very happy if I could manage to lose more weight, but will be content with just healthy.

There you have it. Now, if you read all of that... GO and POST some Random Facts About Yourself. Or leave some in the comments section, for me to read!!!!
