Randoms About Miss Randi

A few of my friends on Facebook sent this to me, so I figured I'd give it a shot and post it in my blog, too. Enjoy reading some useless (and not so useless) information about yours truly!

1. I am addicted to multi-grain cheerios. I've eaten them every day for the last few weeks. There were actually a few days last week that my entire day's worth of nourishment came from nothing but cheerios, coffee, and Diet Coke. I'm averaging about 3 boxes per week.

2. I have been meaning to join a book club for months but I just haven't gotten around to it yet.

3. My current obsession is a book entitled "Taking Charge of Your Fertility". I learned more about my body in three hours of reading that book than I have throughout all my years of sex ed in the public school system. I am a firm believer that every woman who is even thinking about having kids NEEDS to read it, it's the female fertility Bible.

4. I love love love to crochet. The extent of my skills is pretty basic, and I have absolutely no desire to learn any of those fancy-pants stitches.

5. For the first time in a long time, I can say with 100% certainty that I absolutely love my life! I am so happy with where I'm at and so proud of the hard work I've done to get to this point.

6. I hate waiting; I am all about instant gratification.

7. I love being married. It is hands-down the best thing in the world. Although everyone says the first year of marriage is so difficult, I find that I love my husband exponentially more with each passing day.

8. Although it's always been my life's dream to go to grad school, I've recently embraced the mindset that whatever is meant to happen will happen.

9. My "old age" is mellowing me out quite a bit. My husband is helping me to realize that life can be so much more enjoyable when you just let go a little and stop trying to plan everything.

10. I seriously have hair ADD. Consequently, I spend way too much time worrying about my hair color.

11. Over the last five years or so, I've gone from being a complete pushover who was prone to getting taking advantage of and walked all over, to an outspoken, opinionated, blunt broad. I think I need to work on finding some middle ground.

12. I don't believe in drama. Actually, let me rephrase. I don't believe that drama is or should be a normal part of life. I think that 99% of drama comes from being in relationships with the wrong types of people. If you can cut those kind of people out of your life, you'll be amazed by how quickly the drama disappears.

13. I cannot stand any of the "trendy" books or movies that so many people are enthralled with. I'm a grown-ass woman, so dragons, witches, and vampires do not interest me in the slightest.

14. I am going through a serious nesting phase right now. I'm one of those sick people who actually enjoys housework. I would actually prefer to spend a Friday night at home with my husband, folding laundry versus going out on the town.

15. I don't do shellfish. Especially oysters and clams. There is little in this world that I find more disgusting than the thought of sucking a raw, slimy oyster out of a shell and feeling it slide down my throat. I like lobster though, those are good.

16. I turn more and more into my mother everyday. But my mother is one of the most amazing people in the world, so I am totally alright with that.

17. I am going to have twins someday. Don't ask how I can predict that; I just know.

18. I find that the longer I live in California, the more I appreciate Montana. This state is going to hell in a handbasket.

19. My husband is slowly turning me into a Red Sox fan. Shhhh, don't tell my dad.

20. My younger brothers are the two most talented boys in the world. I am so proud of them and the incredible young men they are turning into (I'm actually tearing up just thinking about them).

21. I need my sleep. I mean a lot of sleep. Without 9-10 hours a night, I will get sick within a few days. Guaranteed.

22. I can belch better than most men I know. Correction, I can belch better than ANY man I know. I can't help it; it's just my God-given talent. My husband acts embarrassed about it, but I know he is jealous. :)

23. I am really impatient with electronics. I go from zero to pissed off real fast if something doesn't work the way it's supposed to.

24. I have no tolerance for incompetent people. Just do your job and stop complaining and making excuses!

25. The last 45 minutes of typing this has taught me a whole hell of a lot about myself. Wow.
