25 Random Facts About Me

I was sitting and talking to Dr. M this morning. We were waiting for rounds to start, which were really late today! And we decided to just sit and talk. It was like a little more in depth, get to know you session.

It made me think. There are lots of things that people don't know about me. Maybe I should do a post about some random facts. So here goes. 25 things you probably didn't know about me.

1. I don't like to hug people. I don't know why. But since I was little, I've been like this. Except, I like the big bear hugs that my friends give me. Those are the best!

2. I don't ever get tan. I have light skin. Pale to be exact. If I'm in the sun too long, I turn red. Then I peel and return to white.

3. My hair was black when I was little. And as I got older, my hair has lightened. All natural. In the summer, it just turns more red every single year. Thanks Dad!

4. I LOVE candles. It's ridiculous. I have them everywhere in my house. Nothing expensive. Most are from Wal-Mart and Target. I have a few from Hallmark too. But I LOVE to light candles.

5. Scarves are my favorite things ever! I LOVE to buy them. And I LOVE to get them as gifts. I seriously wear them all year long. I have so many different styles. But I really do love a nice scarf. :)

6. Beef and broccoli with noodles is my favorite thing to eat for lunch. So yummy!

7. I have a minor chocolate obsession. OK, it's a big problem!!!

8. Dangle-y earrings are my favorite kind of jewelry. They just make my day brighter.

9. I get so excited to get mail. I really do. I think my mailman used to think I was nuts. Now he understands my LOVE of mail. Nothing is better than getting a handwritten letter.

10. PBS is one of my favorite channels to watch. OK, so I only have 3 english channels. 2 when the weather is windy or bad. But you know what I mean. :)

11. I'm a little bit obsessed with polka dots. No lie! I like just about anything with polka dots.

12. I like to go to small towns. They just make me happy. There's just a feeling you get when you're in a small town. Especially in the South.

13. Antique shopping is one of my favorite things to do. Not for the fru-fru stuff. But for quirky things. Lots of things from the 20s, 30s, 40s, 50s, and 70s make their way into my home. :)

14. I hate feet. All feet. No matter what they look like. Feet are just so disgusting! So I'm funny when it comes to my own feet. My toenails are always painted red. Because I hate feet. I almost never wear sandals. And I always have shoes or socks on. End of story!

15. Peonies and gardenias are my favorite flowers.

16. I HATED pink until I moved. Now I like it. A lot!

17. Men with deep voices...they make my toes curl. :)

18. No one really calls me by my real name. My uncle used to call me Pink. Part of my family calls me Junior. People call me Rae. My parents call me "The Kid." My friends call me lots of different names. But these are 3 of the more common ones: Lola, Chiquitita, and Chaparrita.

19. I like a good accent. Men from the South...love their accents. I just can't help myself! It's probably a good thing that I don't live in the South. ;)

20. I have lots of Goddaughters. And I LOVE them all so much! How many do I have? I have 7 and 1 more is due in October! :)

21. I really like being a homebody. It's a little funny. But when I don't have to work, I like to just stay home and do what my friends call "Old Lady" things. You know, clean my house, work in the yard, garden, craft, cook, bake, watch movies, read books, and just hangout.

22. Blue eyes are like heaven to me. They really are amazing.

23. I never turn down a bed in a hotel. I don't know why, it just creeps me out. I usually take 2 blankets. I put 1 on top of the bed, and use the other to cover myself. I know, I'm weird.

24. I like to go shopping alone. I don't know. I just feel more peaceful. And I go early in the morning. When the store first opens. And if I have to go to Wal-Mart, I go at 3AM. Not many people are out at that hour.

25. I LOVE rainy nights. Oh there is nothing better than a rainy night. It makes the evening so calm. And you sleep the best!

So there you go. 25 things you probably didn't know about me. Funny, huh? I hope you learned something new. Whether you're part of the family or just a random reader! Now it's back to work for me. ♫
