25 Random Things About Me

I was tagged twice in the same day on facebook by 2 different friends to make a list of 25 random things about me.  They gave their list and tagged 25 friends to do the same so we may, perhaps, learn something new about our friends.  I thought it sounded like something fun to duplicate on my blog so here goes nothing.

25 Random Things About Me

1.  I HATE WalMart

2.  I regret that I shop at Sam's Club (same company as WalMart) because the closest Costco is 22 miles away from my house.

3.  Some days I almost drive the 22 miles to the other side of downtown Houston just because I really hate WalMart that much.

4.  I try my hardest to be environmentally friendly.  I recycle everything I possibly can, I drive a Prius, I use a Sigg water bottle, I use cloth grocery bags, I used cloth diapers on my oldest child...  I really work hard to tread lightly on this earth.

5.  Contradictory to #4, I am a HUGE fan of zip-lock bags.

6.  I am afraid of loud noises.

7.  I have near panic attacks in crowded spaces.

8.  Toilet paper MUST feed from the top of the roll.  (And don't come over here and change all of the toilet paper rolls in the house, PC!!)

9.  My children are the biggest challenge I've ever experienced.

10.  I would love to become a vegetarian.

11.  However, I believe I would die if I were restricted from eating a good burger or a steak.

12.  It is hard for me to ask for help.  

13.  I slept naked for 7 years before the kids came along.

14.  I've visited France 4 times.

15.  And I'd go back again tomorrow and live there for a few years if I could.

16.  I've also visited London and a small area in Germany.

17.  I would love to visit Ireland, Austria, Italy and Australia/New Zealand.

18.  I prefer the mountains to the beach.

19.  I prefer the cold to the heat.

20.  I always wanted to be a doctor.  However, I knew I couldn't handle having people die on me and abandoned that idea.  Well, that and I could never pass the science classes.    

21.  I have huge mood swings and I will cry at the drop of a hat.

22.  My favorite thing to do to relax is to watch t.v.

23.  I've gone skinny dipping in a high mountain lake in August when there was ice still on the lake.  Yep, it was cold.

24.  Grand Teton National Park is the most beautiful place on the face of the earth if you ask me.

25.  I'm an insomniac.  That explains #21.  Well that plus those evil things called hormones.
