Things You Always Wanted to Know or Things You Never Really Cared About

I’ve been having a hard time coming up with a blog post this week.  There are lots of things I could write about, but I am not ready to discuss them at any length yet.  I suppose I could just take a hiatus, but somehow, that doesn’t feel right either.

So instead, I offer you this totally lame list of things that you probably don’t know about me.  Try not to grip the edge of your chair in excitement, mmmkay?

  • I cover my mouth when I laugh.  Always.
  • When I do laugh, and I’m REALLY cracking up, absolutely NO sound comes out of my mouth.  I do wheeze, sometimes alarmingly so to friends and family.
  • I am a complete freak about my bed sheets.  They must be super soft.  No pilling, nor the slightest bit of scratchiness will do.  I have been known to take my own sheets on vacation.  *cough*
  • I HATED the taste of Pepsi until after Ava was born.  Now I cannot stand the taste of Coke.  Go figure.
  • When I’m tired or stressed, my Southern drawl comes back full force.  Or as it’s called in our house, my “twang”.
  • I am more comfortable around men than women.  I never feel that men are judging me based on my clothes, hair, make up, weight, etc.  It’s easy to talk, because I don’t feel that I have to compete in any way.
  • I swoon at the sound of a British accent.  It sexier to me than Italian, Spanish, French, anything.
  • I have a serious love affair with office supplies.  I am a total pen whore.  Every time I go on vacation, I have to come home with a pen from that place.
  • I own two sets of Christmas dishes, and four sets of every day dishes.  Plus one set of fine china.  I *might* have a problem.
  • I cannot go to sleep if the room is completely quiet.  Just a fan, or white noise isn’t enough.  The TV or radio has to be on.

So now that you have some useless trivia about me in your head, maybe you can parlay that into something interesting, like a drinking game.  Or, you could just tiptoe quietly away from this post and forget that we ever had this talk.  Personally, I’d go for the latter.

    Hee. My husband is British. I remember calling my best friend after our first date to swoon about his accent, and I said to her, “I could listen to him talk for the rest of my life.” And the joke’s on me, because I *will* be listening to him talk for the rest of my life.

    Oh, and my Southern accent comes out when I’m tired and/or drunk. Go figure.

    Pffffffft. That would be too EASY! ;)

    I snort when I laugh. I can control, but a lot of the time I just don’t care. Sometimes I do it for effect, but people assume I’m just a snort-laugher.

    And I’m with you on the hanging-out-with-men-is-less-stressful. Wimmins is MEAN, yo.

    Oh Jenna. My laugh, my really hysterical, can’t catch my breath, laugh is deeper than my husbands. I just have a Southern accent all the time. But it gets really bad when I’m nervous. Or being recorded.

    That’s funny that you need noise cause I have to have completel silence….the running of the air conditioner or heater wakes me up several times a night. The kids rolling over in bed wakes me up………..when I tried running a fan all night to drown out the other noises, the hum of the fan kept me awake and annoyed me. I need ear plugs.

    I love this post actually. Don’t hibernate, okay friend? Post whenever you want, but don’t leave me. Yes, is all about me. :)

    1. This one cracks me up: I have been known to take my own sheets on vacation. (Although I do take my own pillow)

    2. When I am in Texas for longer than a day, i start saying Y’all. I have never lived in Texas, but we used to spend summers there.

    3. Love British accents. Also? Australian.

    4. My love for post-its and pens is insane.

    5. You know I have xmas dishes. Ahem.

    6. I have to sleep in complete darkness and silence.

    Yes, I could have done my own post…but that’s no fun.

    I HAVE to sleep with the TV on. ALWAYS. I totally get the sheets thing and the whole pepsi/coke thing is really weird. LOVE YOU.

  • PrincessJenn says:

    One of my best friends is married to a Brit. I LOVE to listen to him talk. Droooool.

    And the dishes? Dude. I have a full set of china that I don’t even think I’ve used but a few times. You have a major issue that can only be fixed by sending me a few of those sets (because, quite frankly, I hate the everyday set I have)
