I decided to participate in this cool little questionnaire that another mommy blogger is doing. There’s a few questions I won’t answer since they don’t pertain to me but the rest is awesome! I know I wish I knew more about my dad’s life and thoughts and I’ll never get that chance again. I’d like for my daughter to know about me as more than just her mom and this is a fantastic way to do that. I plan on adding these to my Project Life album as well, since the future is so uncertain and who knows if I’ll have this blog years from now or if the internet will even exist! Anyway, here’s her list of questions to answer, I’ve crossed out the ones I won’t be answering, but still leaving them there in case you’d like to participate too!

20 Random Facts About Me:
1) I love kids, but now that I’m a mom… I don’t like watching other people’s children (except my Bestie’s kids).
2) I’m ridiculously afraid of anything that looks remotely like or is a cockroach; june bugs being high on the list.
3) I hate scary movies, especially 13 Ghosts.
4) I don’t like being late to anything, ever.
5) I can deal with animal health issues but absolutely cannot handle human bodily fluids.
6) 70% of my wardrobe is black. Another 20% is sparkle or sequins and the last 10% is color.
7) My biggest fear is losing people I love. This has already happened when I lost my dad and I wake up every single morning hoping I still have another day with my mom.
8) I could live off Japanese food for the rest of my life if it was possible.
9) I don’t go a day without taking at least ONE photo, even if its just a phone camera photo.
10) I’m an all or nothing kind of person. If I’m going to clean a room, it’s gutted and I start from scratch. If I’m going to give up something, I have to go cold turkey, I can’t just wean myself off.
11) I’m an emotional eater. I always know I’m depressed when I’ve gained 5 lbs in no time.
12) I’m not domestic at all. Anything to do with cleaning makes me want to run & hide.
13) I’m a bit of a perfectionist and never, ever feel like I gave 100%.
14) I always have a tough time falling asleep and staying asleep throughout the night. Come morning, I struggle to get out of bed.
15) When I hear a song I like, I will immediately look up the lyrics and memorize that song.
16) I’m a stomach sleeper. I can’t sleep on my back, no matter how hard I try. Even when I had a huge incision on my belly, I had to sleep in a awkward side position with pillows propping me.
17) As a kid, I went through many “what to be when I grow up” moments; an astronaut, race car driver, pediatric nurse, a cop & veterinarian. I’m now going to school to be a Vet Tech.
18) Public speaking & being the center of attention makes me nauseous.
19) I played the cello for a very short time in elementary school. I quit because I can’t hear low tones and therefore I sucked at it.
20) I love road trips and I’m always planning the next one in my head.
