2 Posts 'Til My Birthday

I have tried several times this year, with several different groups of people, to boycott my birthday. After being informed in no uncertain terms that I am not allowed to boycott my birthday, I have decided that since I am turning 33, we will commemorate it here with 33 random facts about me. 33 is a lot, so I'm breaking them up over 3 posts. Better get started!
*
1. I was delivered by a podiatrist at a military hospital. Yes, that is a foot doctor.
*
2. I can't drive a stick shift, not even if my life depended on it. Not even if my children's lives depended on it--sorry boys!
*
3. I've tried to love shrimp. I cannot do it. It tastes like dirt and the texture is creepy.
*
4. I have only been absolutely sure of 4 things in my entire life: the names of each of my boys and marrying Matt.
*
5. If I had to choose one type of cuisine to eat for the rest of my life I would choose Greek/Mediterranean.
*
6. When I was growing up my parents were supportive of everything I ever wanted to do except playing ice hockey. I really wanted to, but my mom forbade it and would not budge no matter how hard I cried.
*
7. Secretly I've always wanted a tattoo.
*
8. I love makeup. Love it like an art form. MAC is the absolute best there is.
*
9. I don't bathe. Sounds gross, huh? I just mean that I am a shower girl, not a bath girl. Not even for relaxation. How can you relax when you're sitting in your own filth?
*
10. Donkeys are my favorite animals.
*
11. My two favorite cities (so far) are Honolulu and San Francisco.

Oh, my gosh Brenda.....I have always "SECRETLY" wanted a tattoo, alos!!! I am so glad you revealed that fact. I would love an islander tat around my ankle. Happy soon-to-be b'day!!! Thanks for sharing.

My secret tatoo would be a simple little heart, bad girls club here we come.

I am so glad you decided to post these facts "about you". I have to admit, the tattoo thing didn't surprise me, but for some reason the shrimp thing did. I feel the exact same way you do, I try and try and just can't like them. The texture is funky!

You are such a special person, and friend. I am sorry I won't be able to bring you a treat on your Birthday, but I will make it up to you as soon as you get back. Have a very HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!! Love ya.

This will be fun! I SO agree on the bathing thing. And although I could drive a stick if my life depended on it, I HATE it. And when my hubby forces me to, I usually end up in tears. ha ha

Love this. I don't think I can think of 33 interesting things about myself.

Brenda said...

Oh Julie don't give me too much credit...I never said they'd be interesting! I only promised random!

OK- I have tried to teach you to drive a standard a few different times. Perhaps I should try again. It just so happens I have a standard POC (Piece of crap) sitting here.....let's try it! Also- the tattoo thing doesn't surprise me- but I would like to point out what a hard time you TRIED to give me when I got mine. I knew you never really meant it.
