7-8 Random things about moi

No one tagged me :( but I thought I'd share anyway.


1. I don't like drinking milk. I apparently was lactose intolerant when I was a kid, but I've also heard that I drank it without care too. Who knows which one is correct, but drinking it straight now, it reminds me of glue.

2. I've always had a pet in my life. I grew uup with my parents 2 dachsunds, and except for 6 months, I've always lived with a pet. In those 6 months, my dog was with my parents, so I still technically had a pet.

3. I love to drive. There is somthing freeing about getting behind the wheel and going. Whether it's to work, shopping, etc., I love it.

4. I have never won anything -- like a prize. I've won awards, but never anything like a trip, a CD or anything like that. I probably should try more often than I do, which is every once in a while, but I'm lazy.

5. For all purposes, I have given up soda. Doesn't mean I don't occasionally have one, but I'd rather drink tea or water. I think it goes with the fact that so far I have lost 25 of the 30 pounds I gained when I moved to NH from FL, and now that I have more energy I neeed less caffeinge.

6. I love summer. The heat, the humidity -- all of it. Which is a bit funny since I'm like the palest white girl out there -- being 3/4 Scottish-Irish, and being unable to sit out in the sun w/o my SPF 9000 for more than 30 seconds. I fry in the sun, which is too bad, because I seriously love being outside in the warm weather.

7. I like thunderstorms. Not necessarily driving in them, but I like being home for them. The thunder and lightning put on a show, and if the power goes out -- even better. It's mystical and mysterious, even dare I say it, a bit sexy? Of course it's all science based, but there's something about a good thunderstorm on a hot summer day.

8. One of the best feelings is getting into a freshly made bed at night, after a long day. The feeling of the cool, crisp cotton sheets as you crawl in, is in my opinion, divine. Almost makes me want to change my sheets every day. Almost.
