25 Random Things

For those of you on Facebook have probably seen this note going around. I have been tagged in it several times for me to participate. I can't seem to figure out why anyone would think I have 25 Random Things to list but I will try and do my best. Here goes nothing...

1. I have never broken a bone or had my wisdom teeth out
2. I am terrified of heights!
3. Some day I would like to have 5 kids...or maybe more
4. I have played several sports growing up: softball, track, volleyball, tennis, and cheerleading (if you count it)
5. I used to play the flute and piano...it has been way too long since my piano days and forget how to read music for the left hand
6. I never had a boyfriend until the age 16--thank goodness!
7. I despise most tv, with the exception of LOST
8. I love the beach and dream of living there, but could never move because I cherish having a close family too much
9. I have been stung 13 times at once by some angry bees. I am very frightened of them now!
10. My worst fear is losing AJ--I don't know what I'd do without him
11. I am introverted and love being home alone all the time! You can call me Mrs. Hermit.
12. Public speaking is probably my second worst fear unless I feel ultra comfortable around you. I was a business major at Butler and had to give presentations all the time! It helped me get over it a little.
13. I used to be so shy that I would be embarrassed if I had to order food at a restaurant or go up to the counter to ask for something they forgot to give me. I would have my mom or sister do it for me.
14. One of my pet peeves are people who complain and are negative. We have so much to be thankful for!
15. I am not a reader and probably have only read less than 5 books all the way through. It's hard to get my interest and if it doesn't keep my attention in the first few pages then I will stop reading it. Plus, reading makes me sleepy and I'd rather spend my time doing something else. When I do read, it's the Bible.
16. Growing up, all I wanted to be as an adult is a stay-at-home mom. And it is everything I dreamed it was!
17. I enjoy doing laundry and organizing things.
18. Another pet peeve of mine is clutter. I am always trying to get rid of stuff.
19. I am very close to my sister and brother and would consider them my best friends. 
20. I have a thing for Sudoku...I have completed several books of those puzzles.
21. I am not a competitive person but really enjoy playing games. My all-time favorite is euchre.
22. I am really bad at returning phone calls and despise listening to voicemails. Mostly because my voicemail is set up stupid and it takes forever to listen to them. 
23. Cafe Patachou is my favorite restaurant. There is one downtown but doesn't compare to the one at 49th and Penn. It is a small, quaint little place that serves the best breakfast and coffee. AJ and I have many great memories there from our college days.
24. Lake Monroe is my favorite place in the summer. Staying on a house boat, riding waverunners, but mostly just soaking in the sun.
25. I am usually cold. Even when we were in Cabo for our honeymoon, we were laying out and I had to wrap up in a towel because I had goosebumps. It was over 100 degrees!

There you have it folks. I surprised myself I could finish it. Ok, so some of them aren't that interesting but the title of this was 25 RANDOM things. Hope you enjoyed some of it.

I enjoyed your list! We have some things in common that I didn't know about.

Very interesting! Okay, so we have to get together to play euchre. It is my favorite too. Come over this Friday and we can make some homemade rolls. I think Amanda is coming again. I will call you this time.
