51 Random Things…

At the old place I called home and stored all my random and oddities, I had this: 51 Random Things About Me.
I wrote it FOR-ever! ago. If I remember correctly, it took me a shitload of time to write it too. It’s not easy writing 51 random things about yourself…go ahead…try it.

51 R A N D O M AND O D D THINGS A B O U T me

1. i’m not like everyone else. i’m sure you figured that out already though.

2. i use to collect watches. i never wore them though. i still don’t.

3. i believe that everything needs to be fair. even though sometimes i have a tendency to say, ‘life’s not fair.’ to my kids.

4. i’m ALWAYS misunderstood. i mean, it doesn’t matter what i say, someone will screw it up and i get knee deep in shit for it. i swear, nothing pisses me off more. oh wait…go on to five.

5. i hate it when someone has a problem with me and goes to other people about it. i mean, if you have a damn problem with something i did or said, come to me. it makes me want to scream when i hear second hand about someone being mad at me for something random.

6. i gave birth to three little girls. not at the same time though.

7. i hate drama. not the movie type, but the actual real thing. i love good gossip every now and again, but leave your drama at home.

8. i drink rootbeer when i’m sad.

9. my mom and sister are my bestest friends in the whole wide world.

10. i own too many pairs of shoes. if i had more shoes i might be happier though.

17. my favorite football team is the raiders. i wear the kickers jersey.

18. i’m pretty sure the world will come crashing in the day my mom dies. i won’t be able to get up every morning knowing she isn’t there anymore. outside of my kids and my sister i don’t think anyone else dieing will completely devastate me like that.

19. i can’t eat fish, it makes me sick.

20. if you’re my friend, i will love you and cherish you forever.
