I had to laugh at your post. I thought that I was the only one who did that with the burgers and onion rings :)

1.    I am more afraid of living long than of dying young

2.   I love pets of all kinds

3.   I take tons of pics with my video camera but hate printing them.  They just stay on my computer.

4.  I have a great sense of humor

5.  I am mechanically inclined.  Can figure out complicated workings of things, but since I am small and have no strength, I can only tell someone what is wrong and what to look at to solve the problem.

Ok, my turn now:

1. I have visited 47 out of the 50 states. Alaska, Hawaii, and Oklahoma still remain.

2. I went to ten different schools from grades one through twelve. My parents would jump up and move for any reason or no reason.

3. I have sampled about 1,500 different beers (not all at once).

4. I am "allergic" to cold weather, in a sense. My nose runs incessantly when the mercury drops and I lose both my sense of taste and smell (why do you think I moved to Houston?). Not good for someone who likes to evaluate beer and other food and drink.

5. I make my main living as an Accounting Manager/Assistant Controller, with teaching and writing as side jobs.

3)  Pizza, enchiladas, chicken parmesan and pasta are my favorite foods

4) My favorite TV chef is Tyler Florence

5) The fastest I ever read a book was 24 hours and it was about someone I'm not even interested in: Elvis.

My turn again, too!

1.  Years ago I won a week long trip to Bermuda in a raffle drawing.

2.  We have 4 computers in the house....2 laptops and 2 pcs.

3.  I have been collecting coins since a child.

4. The only music I listen to is "Oldies" (from the 50s) with a country song thrown in there now and then.

5. I don't own a coffee pot.  But my neighbor does and every chance I get I go there for a cup or two.  She would be upset if I quit getting my coffee there.  I do buy her coffee and creamer every now and then because I drink her coffee so often.

A little late to the party, but I thought I would share some random facts about myself:

1.  I love raw onions.  If they have a sweeter tinge to them, I will eat slices by themselves.

2.  I am addicted to cookies.  My wife calls me the cookie-monster, because I can never seen to pass one up.

3.  I am left-eye, right hand dominant.  Which is pretty rare, and not helpful when I try to play first-person shooting video games.

4.  I sleep better during the day than at night.  It often lends itself (too-often) to late nights during the week, and long naps on the weekend.

5.  I am a speed-reader. 

Yes, I am an odd cookie... no pun intended.

Gonna do this one last time: (yall know too much about me as it is)

1.  I have a huge collection of beanie babies, teenie beanies, and buddies.........hundreds!!!

2.  I won a Nintendo Wii as a door prize last year at a company function.  I picked the envelope and had to read what the prize was.  Since knowing nothing about that thing.... I said " It  says Nintendo W i i ".   They chuckled and then explained to me what it was and what it did.  One month later I sold it on Ebay and got big bucks for it.   I could always use the money more than I would use that thing!  ha ha 

3.  I still have my 1st pair of baby shoes which were bronzed years ago.  Trust me, they are antiques!!

4.  I tend to buy too many little bath and kitchen rugs......got tons of them in the house, but most of them are in the attic and the closets.

5. I can grow an ivy plant for years.  I had 3 inside plants that were each 14 years old, but give me one cactus and it will be dead in 2 weeks.

  1. I just bought my first Build-A-Bear dog. Actually, it is a Jack Russell Terrier dog. Its name is Nicholas just like my REAL Jack Russell. A $1 is donated to the Build-A-Bear Workshop Bear Hugs Foundation to support animal shelters, pet rescue, and rehab organizations.
  2. I collect Carousel Horses. I have several 4-horse carousels and 5-horse carousels. Then, I have a couple single horses. 
  3. I collect Jack Russell Terrier statues and figurines.
  4. I still have my first babydoll an "Adoption Doll". Her name is Holly and she has yellow hair. I used to even by baby clothes for her.
  5. I have cross-stitched (20x30) two Carousel pictures and a dolphin picture. It probably six months to finish all of them. I cross-stitch Christmas ornaments throughout the year and then sell them on Etsy.

1.  I'm deathly afraid of someone breaking into our home, hiding in the basement, and killing us as we slept. The BTK killer resurfaced when I was in college, so that is the root of THAT fear!

 2.  I have a terrible short-term memory. I can tell you who gave my son what gift at his baby shower or what my husband and I did on our third date, but I can't tell you whether or not I closed the garage door this morning.

3.  When I was 14, I went to the mountains with a church group and became sick with a cold. Because I had a sore throat and full ears, both ear drums burst with the altitute change. As a result, I can't hear things behind me.

4.   I'm only 24, but I look and feel much older. Someone asked me how old I was a few weeks ago, and I really had to stop and think about it.

5.   I'm in a quarter life crisis. I don't know what I want to do with my life. Do I go back to school and get into a more stable profession? Or do I get my master's in marketing to better myself in the corporate world? GAH!

5. Thinking about the storm warnings we are getting.
