\nHey everyone, Shaun here.\u00a0 I\u2019m blognapping Random & Odd to post Kristine\u2019s Valentine\u2019s Day post.\u00a0 To those of you who don\u2019t know Kristine very well, once you talk to her or spend any time with her, she\u2019ll be in your heart forever.\u00a0 She can be brutally honest without being hurtful, can be supportive and encouraging even if she disagrees with you.\u00a0 She can make you laugh when you\u2019re ready to pull your hair out.\u00a0 She\u2019s the \u2018realest\u2019 person I\u2019ve ever known.\u00a0 The way she writes and speaks is really how she is, and everyone lucky enough to call her a friend would agree.\u00a0 If you\u2019re new here, stick around and definitely comment when she writes something that makes you laugh or want to strangle her.\u00a0 If you\u2019ve been here awhile, thanks for sticking around through the good times and the tough ones!\u00a0 Ok, I\u2019m rambling, so back to the point\u2026 here are 29 random things (it\u2019s a leap year, hence 29), good or bad, that I thought you might enjoy learning about my favorite blogger:<\/span><\/font><\/p>\n


\n<\/span><\/font><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. She does the worst accents ever.\u00a0 It\u2019s like \u2018It\u2019s a Small World\u2019 caught on fire and all the countries melted together<\/span><\/font><\/li>\n
  2. Will mispronounce a word, recognize it halfway through the word, then painfully try to correct herself.\u00a0 It\u2019s like watching a fly try to escape a web.<\/span><\/font><\/li>\n
  3. Has the worst, guilt-ridden smile when trying to hide something.\u00a0 You don\u2019t want her lying to congress for you.<\/span><\/font><\/li>\n
  4. She can read a book in one sitting, in one night.<\/span><\/font><\/li>\n
  5. Has a special outfit just for the Dog Park<\/span><\/font><\/li>\n
  6. Labels every UCB\/connector wire\/plug and knows what each goes to<\/span><\/font><\/li>\n
  7. Will break into song in almost any situation.\u00a0 Not real songs, either.\u00a0 Fake, improvised songs to fit whatever\u2019s going on (laundry, me sleeping, etc)<\/span><\/font><\/li>\n
  8. Will remove pickles from my burger before giving it to me<\/span><\/font><\/li>\n
  9. Can recognize, almost instantly, whether she\u2019s already seen a TV show\u2026..we\u2019re talking milliseconds in to the show.\u00a0 Its impressive.<\/span><\/font><\/li>\n
  10. Can sleep through anything<\/span><\/font><\/li>\n
  11. Will wake up, thoroughly detail an entire dream to me, then fall back asleep immediately.\u00a0 And she won\u2019t remember any of it.<\/span><\/font><\/li>\n
  12. Gets genuinely excited when people call or e-mail her unexpectedly<\/span><\/font><\/li>\n
  13. Will NEVER call you back when she\u2019s supposed to<\/span><\/font><\/li>\n
  14. Loves calenders, purses, and blank books that she can write in<\/span><\/font><\/li>\n
  15. Has more robes than anyone not named Hefner<\/span><\/font><\/li>\n
  16. Shows a genuine interest in every one of the kids, and knows all about each of their lives<\/span><\/font><\/li>\n
  17. She spent most of the Super Bowl smoking cigars with a bunch of Mexican guys, a former NBA player, a pin-up girl, and my co-workers.<\/span><\/font><\/li>\n
  18. Loves her family to death.\u00a0 Her mom and sister are EVERYTHING to her!<\/span><\/font><\/li>\n
  19. Can talk to anyone, anywhere, anytime.\u00a0 Effortlessly.<\/span><\/font><\/li>\n
  20. She hates lawn gnomes<\/span><\/font><\/li>\n
  21. Want to drive her crazy?\u00a0 Say \u2018anyways\u2019<\/span><\/font><\/li>\n
  22. Blood vessels in her eyes burst when someone calls the store \u201cBarnes & Noble\u2019s\u201d since there\u2019s no S at the end of it<\/span><\/font><\/li>\n
  23. Will go into a rage within the first five notes of \u2018Total Eclipse of the Heart) (Pissy and RSG can confirm this one)<\/span><\/font><\/li>\n
  24. At any given time, she has three to five pairs of shoes between our front door and her side of the bed.<\/span><\/font><\/li>\n
  25. Is likely to have one CD that contains Violent Femmes, Al Green, Kid Rock, Alanis Morrisette, and Dixie Chicks.\u00a0 Not necessarily in that order.<\/span><\/font><\/li>\n
  26. Has the evilest laugh if she witnesses you stubbing a toe, banging a knee, or tripping over something.<\/span><\/font><\/li>\n
  27. Has accepted the inevitable victory of Del Taco over Taco Bell in our home.\u00a0 I credit the Shredded Beef Burrito and Shredded Beef Macho Nachos.<\/span><\/font><\/li>\n
  28. She JUST had her first chili-cheese flavored Fritos.\u00a0 Looked at me and said \u201cHey, these do taste like chili-cheese.\u00a0 Wow.\u2019<\/span><\/font><\/li>\n
  29. 38 containers in our shower.\u00a0 36 if you subtract my shaving cream and shampoo.<\/span><\/font><\/li>\n<\/ol>\n
