The rules:
1. Post these rules before you give you the facts.
2. List eight random facts about yourself.
3. At the end of your post, choose (tag) someone and list their name (linking to their page).
4. Leave them a comment on their blog letting them know they’ve been tagged!
1. My worst habit ever is picking my lips. When I’m stressed, happy, sad, annoyed, crying or even just breathing, I pick the skin off my lips. It’s a really sick habit that I’ve tried to quit a few times. I’m not successful on giving it up.
2. I love to take baths. In fact, I took the first one of the season during the weekend.
3. I like things to be very clean. I get frustrated when things aren’t how I left them and I truly believe that every item in our home has a correct spot.
4. When I was a little girl, I remember that on some early mornings before school my mom would let me have my own cup of coffee (with cream and sugar). I felt so grown up. I take my coffee the same way today as I did when I was a child.
5. My parents got divorced when I was 2 years old. I have one memory of living in our home when they were still married. One time, I threw my big stuffed bear down the stairs in our house and asked him if it was fun. He said yes, I then threw myself down the stairs. I wasn’t hurt, just shook up. I remember the exact cup my aunt gave me a drink of soda out of after the fall. That was obviously the best medicine a 2-year-old could have asked for.
6. I drink pickle juice, frequently.
7. I wore braces for seven years. I got them as a seventh-grader and wore them until I was a sophomore in college. I also had many subsequent surgeries to make my teeth nice and currently, I have a couple fake teeth.
8. I would love to incorporate cooking into my career. I’ve tossed around the idea of going back to school but am not sure exactly how I’d like to use the skill.
And, I tag (dun, dun, dun)…
Bethany, Brandy (a new blog friend, yay!) and Farrah (either on your new blog if you dare to tell me where it is or in the comment section of mine is fine, too).

1) I am blond, but both of my parents are brunettes. My dad had blond hair until he was an adult. I always assumed my hair would turn brown too – I was disappointed when it didn’t.
2) I wish I could sing. And draw. And run. Although I’m sure I wouldn’t ask for those things if a genie appeared. Then I’d wish for better health, financial security, and a man to treat me like a princess.
3) Growing up, I always wanted to wear glasses. That “dream” didn’t come true until I was 19. Eleven years later, I ditched them for contacts.
4) I hate throwing up, and haven’t done so since 1999. I will sit by a toilet for hours trying to avoid doing so. I think this has a lot to do with why I don’t drink – I don’t want to voluntarily do something that may make me, or make me feel like I might, vomit.
5) I think I may be addicted to Chapstick.
6) I don’t chew gum. I just don’t like it.
7) My mom is my best friend. My dad and I can barely speak 10 words to each other without a misunderstanding ensuing – I am not a daddy’s girl.
If I’m allowed to tag, I tag Bruce (Living on the Backside of Twenty), Erin (This is Life), and Dijea (Me, Myself & I).

#5 Wonder if the same soda would work now if you got hurt? Or would you need something stronger. LOL
