I'm kind of terribly lazy and so I figured I'd post the rules, just tell you my 11 things once, then answer the questions from each crafty lady in subsequent posts (otherwise I'll never get started and I totally want to play!), and finally tag 11 people and call it a win... (Also, I promise I'll try to tell you new things and not stuff from previous posts where I listed random things about me...)
So here goes nothing!
The Rules
1. Post the
rules.
2. Post 11 fun
facts about yourself.
3. Answer the
questions the tagger set for you in their post, and then create 11 new
questions for the people you tag.
4. Tag 11 people
and link them in your post.
5. Let them know
you’ve “tagged” them.
My 11 Fun
Facts
1. I'm kind of ridiculous
about punctuation and grammar and I fix it obsessively. Even when there is no
good reason or it takes way way WAYYYYY too much time. Exhibit A would be the
rules above that I just capitalized and made into sentences.
2. I love Bella and Max more
than I love myself. Sometimes I get home and I really really really have to
pee, but I know they do too and I always take them out before I go... I'm not
sure they appreciate it, but it makes me feel better about not having taken
them wherever I went. It also makes me feel like I'm proving to them that I do
love them more than I love myself and I'm okay with how weird all of that might
be.
3. I really love sports and
know more sports trivia and facts than most people in the world. Guys or gals.
It's a handy talent to have in bars when you can bet strangers who will
underestimate a gal standing 5'3" tall and her knowledge of SEC
quarterbacks for example...
4. I'm obnoxiously
hot-natured. I haven't always been, but now I keep the apartment crazy cold.
The boyfriend affectionately calls it "the meat locker" and tolerates
it by snuggling with the pups or wearing a blanket as a second skin.
5. I find myself way funnier
than most other people in the world (find me). I'm pretty okay with that.
6. The college course I teach
is one that I never took in college or graduate school. Luckily I read the
textbook before I started teaching...
7. I used to think Tina Fey
was watching my life and writing "30 Rock" based upon the
ridiculousness of my life and my struggles to run the lab.
8. The boyfriend is more than
a foot taller than me - I'm 5'3" and he's 6'4". My parents enjoy
having him change light bulbs and clean top shelves when he visits them.
9. When my lease ends this
August, the boyfriend and the pups and I have no idea where we'll be living.
We're hoping I have a job by then and we move there, but it's pretty up in the
air.
10. I'm not sure I've ever
gotten so close to being at the end of a plan without having another one in
place. I knew I was going to college and where before high school ended, I knew
about grad school before college ended... and now we're just hanging out and it
feels bizarre, but exciting.
11. Max has a huge crush on one
of the ladies that works at the vet's office. We ran by the other day to pick
up something and so we took the pups to go see the ladies that work there
because both of them love it and love them and when Max's fave wasn't there, he
started barking a bit (and sort of talking to the other ladies in an unhappy
tone) and then his fave came out of an exam room and he started BARKING.
Loudly. And trying to run to her. When she left, he cried and didn't really
want to leave. I'm not sure if the boyfriend and I are mortified or think this
is cute... but I’ll keep you all posted!
So, those are my 11 facts about me! Check back for my answers to the questions from each crafty lady and the 11 ladies I'll tag (to be completed at some point when I have more time and/or am less worried I cant' make a complete sentence)! : )
Yay I'm so glad that you did this! I love your list; there are, yet again, so many similarities between us!
