Some More of Me!

Linking up again with Kasey for "It's All About Me"Mostly this has been random things about me, seen here & here.This week I am taking some of the questions Kasey answered and next week will be more random facts about me.  I realized how many weird different things I do or say and why not share with the whole blog world?  Eventually when I do this link-up it will have more of a theme but not quite yet!


What would you like to add to your life?
A job! (not that I am actively looking right now)

What is your favorite thing about fall?
Football and the smell of burning leaves!


If you did not need the money, what would you do for work?
Either work for a sports team or at a Museum (these jobs I would work for the money too of course)

What is your ringtone?
Everyone: 'Dog Days Are Over' Florence + The Machine (this one is actually supposed to be the theme of Monday Night Football but for some reason my phone won't let me buy it!)

Guss: 'Satelitte' Guster   

What is the furthest west you have traveled?
Los Angeles, California

If you could live in another country for 2 years, where would you live?
I'd go back to Germany (big surprise, right?)

What is the worst physical pain you've ever been in?
Not the actual c-section but the pain of trying to walk/sleep/move afterwards, even laughing and coughing hurt!

Who taught you to cook?
No one, I still can't cook...but I am trying!

What do you have an irrational fear of?

I have shared this before but, car washes

What goals do you have for your children?
I want them to be polite people who respect others and their parents.  I also want to encourage them to do or be whatever they want.

What TV re-run do you sit down to watch whenever it's on?
Friends and Will & Grace

What do you do when you cannot sleep?
I sit there and think about why I can't sleep and how tired I am going to be the next morning...true story.

Who was your favorite teacher?
High School:  Mr. Cain.  Had him for history and econ and I just loved him!

College:  Professor Lindseth.  She was my German professor for I believe 3 courses, my main professor who traveled with us to Germany, and my academic adviser.  She is so fun and personable and I wanted to do good because I didn't want to let her down.

Yes, It is all about me!

I am linking up with my favorite Domesticated Hygienist Kasey for the second go'round of "It's All About Me"

Well I know last time I did some random questions that I stole from Kasey.  But today I am doing some other randoms.  Most of them odd randoms.  So here we go.  Don't judge. :)

- I like the smell of skunk.  Don't get me wrong...I don't want to smell like one!  But I don't cringe when I smell it.

- I am terrified of car washes

- If I could have any job in the world, I would work with trees.  I don't know what I would do with them but I just love looking and learning about trees.

- I bought my first Golden Retriever without telling my fiance (now husband)

- When we decided to get a second dog (another Golden Retriever) we went to a farm and I realized it was the same place we got our first one.  Turns our they are actual half brother and sister.  It was a nice surprise.

- I had to wear headgear for a year.  Thankfully I only had to do it after to school.

- I never really liked my sisters until they left for college.  Now we are good friends.

- I have never had detention/got sent to the principles office in my life.

- I used to have my very own horse.  I lived in town but my parents had friends who had horses.  She was an Arabian and was named Dancer.

- I worked at McDonald's (ending up as a manager) for 7 years

- I don't like even numbers

- I can't spend the night alone. I need another adult in the house.

- I was originally going to be a Police Officer

- When I was pregnant the Swine Flue/H1N1 peaked.  I got the H1N1 shot and a girl at my work said by doing so I was giving my son autism.  And it was like smoking 2 packs of cigarettes a day.

- My son was frank breech, that is why I needed a c-section.  While some pregnant ladies complained their unborn baby was using their bladder as a punching bag, my son was actually sitting on it!  His toes were by his head (which on the ultrasound he liked to suck). I didn't find this out till I was 36 weeks pregnant.

Now my two most embarrassing randoms:

- I used a night light till I was 13.  My sisters made me (really) watch Freddy Kruger and It (with the scary clown) when I was younger and it took me forever to get over it!

- I still call my parents mommy and daddy (or daddie as my dad spells it)  I know it is weird but I just never got out of the habit.

It's Monday!

Last Monday I linked up with Kasey for "Healthy Me Monday".  Well Kasey made some (good) changes and changed it to "It's All About Me".  Pretty much the post is...all about yourself :)  It can be anything.  I will probably stick mostly with weight but today I am taking the random questions Kasey used on her first post for IAAM.
