Blog Update: The Facts of Me

Linking up with Whitney to share some silly facts about me today. (As if I don't do this on a daily basis).  So here goes:

-I love onions and would put them on cake if I could figure out the right way to do it. 

-I hate green peppers with a passion but I will eat yellow, red, and orange without thinking about it.  The green ones actually make me physically ill.  I can't eat anything they have touched.  Not even pizza. If there are green peppers in something, chances are I will taste them above everything else and will turn...green.

-I suspect my green pepper hate stems from a tragic well accident I had as a child while eating the offending vegetable.  I actually was stuck in a well cap for hours. (Minutes?).  Well my foot was anyway.  It looked a little like this only the opening was much smaller and my leg was attached to it, of course.






- I have a mad crush on this man....a female crush not a sports crush. I love his broad shoulders.  I am a sucker for broad shoulders.  I love that he is funny.  I love that he is obsessive about his game. This makes him incredibly hot.  He is my only blonde and I normally don't go for super skinny guys so he goes against my "type".  (What, you were expecting Ryan Gosling? )


-I would eat pizza or ice cream every day if I wouldn't gain weight.  I have the appetite of a 12 year old and get stuck in food ruts and will eat them all the time without tiring. 

-I love weird vegetables like brussel sprouts and cabbage.  I blame my German and Hungarian grandparents.

-If I ever get married, I want to honeymoon at one of two places.  Rome or Cooperstown.  They are the centers of my two religions so it seems only natural that I would celebrate the "OMG, I Finally found a nice guy" moment of my life there.

-I still believe in Prince Charming.  He may look like Dirk...but with brown hair, of course.

-I like being the loud and crazy friend. 

-I have a bunch of tapes of baseball and football events from the 1990's.  All-Star Games from 1990-1996, the first Opening Day at the Ballpark in Arlington, the First time the Rangers clinched the AL West in 1996 and Super Bowls 27 and 28.  Tapes, as in VHS.  *Don't ask.

-I would rather go to the mountains than the beach.

-Everything is better if it is Cherry flavored. 

-I don't eat beef aside from an occasional hamburger.  Steak gives me an upset stomach and I can't stand the way it gets caught in my teeth so if everyone at the table is ordering steak, I am the girl with grilled chicken or talapia.  I just prefer chicken to everything else.

-I cry...about everything.  I am sometimes shocked I don't walk around completely dehydrated.  I may have even been known to tear up at cotton commercials.  Yes, I am THAT girl.

-My DVD's may actually be organized based on who stars in them.  This takes hours to sort out.  Don't laugh at my issues.

-I have a thing about light switches.  They must all be going in the right direction before I go to bed or I can't sleep.

-I check the front door to make sure it is locked at least 3 times and I always lock it immediately.  The back door, I only check once. 


Well, that is enough odd facts about me, I guess.  Am I the only crazy one out there?

Simply,
