In honor of my being alive for 28 years today, here are 28 things you may not know about me:
- I don’t eat meat off the bone.
- I can’t spit.
- I hate scary movies. Hate.
- My middle name is Ruth, after my mom’s mom.
- I was born with lots of dark brown hair that stuck straight up.
- My hair changed into bleach blonde by the time I was one.
- I couldn’t swallow a pill until high school.
- I love my family – immediate, extended and inherited through marriage.
- I knew I wanted to marry Travis after dating him for 3 months. His smile made me melt.
- I don’t like sweating when I don’t want to be sweaty.
- I get cranky in hot weather.
- My body temperature can go from cold to overheating in less than 30 seconds.
- My favorite bagel is chocolate chip from Panera.
- I like doing special things on my birthday.
- I hate bugs of all kinds. Hate.
- I’m deathly scared of spiders (what female isn’t?).
- I love (recreationally) swimming in lakes as long as I don’t touch any seaweed.
- I hated running in high school.
- I got my snowmobile license when I was about 13.
- I mowed our lawn growing up on a riding lawn mower called the Yazoo.
- My first kiss was under a table in kindergarten.
- I first kissed Travis sitting on the floor of my college bedroom. He first kissed me a month later on the bluffs in Red Wing. J
- I have never attempted a back flip on a trampoline, though I love doing front flips.
- I love swinging and spinning.
- I hate roller coasters. Hate.
- Working on my birthday makes me feel grown up (in a very boring way).
- 2009 was the first year I worked on my birthday.
- My favorite cake is either fruit pizza (it’s kind of a cake, right?) or éclair cake.
Life, Really Blog
