25 Random Things About Me

I have read so many of yours and I am in awe that you can think of 25 things. I will give it a shot. I may still ideas from some of yours but oh well.


1. Shopping for cards makes me have to pee. It never fails. I will even go to the bathroom before, knowing I need a card. But it never works. So I usually just walk away without buying one.

2. I hate eating. If I could live my life without food I would be happy.

3. Another food one. I don't like refridgerators. I open them knowing that there is probably rotten food in there and I can't take it. Walt cleans out the fridge for me.

4. I am in a loving avocado phase right now. If we eat out, I will look for anything that has avocadoes and I will order that.

5. I hate folding clothes. But since I only have 2 laundry baskets and I hate piles of clean clothes all over my house even more. I fold.

6. I love reading. All kinds of books. I especially love series books.

7. I have never really cared for my husbands name. It just seemed to old for him. He knows this. But for some reason I just found out a little while ago that Walter is/was his great-grandfather's name. How did I not know this? I thought he was named after a friend of the family. Now I feel really bad that I gave him a hard time.

8. I am the extreme opposite of a pack rat. I through everything out. I hate having clutter all over the place. I have 1 small bin of my childhood memories, Walt has about 4 big bins. This might account for my lack of memory about my childhood.

9. I am a little OCD about money. I have to balance my checkbook everyday. It has to match right down to the penny or I freak out until it is solved.

10. I have a hairy face that I don't like. Luckily it is blonde but my mean sister used to call me LeaAnnderthal. It makes me laugh now. In fact I am chuckleing now.

11. I am an idiot when it comes to electronics. I tell Walt to read the manuals and tell me how to use whatever it is. Maybe I am not such an idiot but just lazy. Electronics are suppose to make your life easier, but why do they have to be so complicated to learn to use?

12. When I know I need to have a possible confrontation with someone I play the conversation in my head first with possible scenerios. Which usually makes me more nervous because they never go well in my head.

13. I am firmly against exercising now. I have spent years and years doing it and now I am sick and tired. I do go walking with a few girls every morning but that is it. We don't really walk that fast but I love the conversation.

14. I don't really like Halloween. Dressing up in costumes is not my thing. And I don't like having that much candy in my house. If the kids know it is there that is all they want. And I will admit, it is what I want too.

15. I will kill any plant that is left in my care. I don't know what it is that I do or don't do but they always die. It is sad because I would love some real plants in my house. Fake plants are not that bad but I don't want a whole house full of them.

16. I will never own a dog or a cat. Nothing against them I just don't want them.

17. I, like Daniell, don't like shopping. Get in get out. I especially don't like Ross or thrift stores. So much stuff and unorganized. Gives me a headache.

18. I really don't know if my name is spelled with a space between the 2 As or not. I don't even know if it matters.

19. I love sleeping. I just wish I could get more.

20. I am in pain pretty much constantly. My back hurts all the time.

21. I would love to travel the world with my sisters. Nothing against the hubby but I love hanging with my sisters.

22. One of my eyebrows is higher than the other. I apparently have one facial expression that I use a lot and caused this problem.

24. My feet are shrinking. I used to me a 7 1/2. Now I am a 6 1/2. I need new shoes for church. None of my dress shoes fit anymore.

25. I use to be against blogs and thought they were ridiculous. I was wrong and love reading about all of you and your lives.

Good job! How can we be so different and yet so alike? Uncanny. My favorite is the eyebrow thing! #26 could be that someone blowing in your ear turns you instantly in to a paralized mass on the floor.

That was fun Lea Ann. It is fun to get to know you better, although, I think I know you pretty well. I always wondered why I hated Ross and Thrif stores, now I know. They drive me crazy, too!

Heather said...

Oh my gosh.. Leaannderthal... I almost peed my pants.. I am laughing so hard.. Kirk gave a big belly laugh too for you. Holy cow that's funny.

What is it with you guys and not liking to eat?? in the words of kirk.. "I don't understand"

I thought you were always very particular about how your name was spelled? Maybe it's just you want all the letters in there correctly.

Anyhoo that was great!

Danielle said...

12 cracked me up! I do the same thing and I ALWAYS win in my head. Yup, on 17! Ross is a nightmare! And I am sorry about 20!

Thanks for taking the time to do the 25...they are great!!

Didn't read this post yet, so I'll make sure and do that later today, but wanted to let you know that the comment that sounded so rude, was meant to be a compliment. I meant it that as long as I've known you you haven't been ugly, and I've also seen wedding pictures and you weren't ugly then either! {How can I put a sticking my tongue out at you with punctuation!}

LeaAnn-
I am calling you right now. I didn't know you have a blog.
Love it.
Carrie

Ok, it is now later today and I love these things! I love the little tidbits that I may or may not have known. I knew a lot of these which made me happy in a very superficial way. Well, I guess it's not that superficial, I do consider you one of my very closest friends. I am pmp at #10. I wanted to do this when I saw it on another friends blog, now I am for sure! I don't know if I can get 25 things!

Staci said...

I didn't know you had a blog! I saw your comment on Shanell's & was excited to come check yours out!

Meredith said...

I've read a lot of these and you shared some very interesting information! Can I hire you to go thru stuff at my house? I am serious, I think! Not a pack rat but not anti-clutter either. I don't remember the last time I balanced a check book. Most people's feet get bigger - how odd! Great getting to know you more!
