the one where i'm all that and a bag of celery sticks with a tiny tupperware of ranch dressing

25 random things about me note from facebook yes i'm annoying and trendy and that unoriginal

  1. while i luuuurve making and selling (!) chocolate i am kind of over eating it. shhh don't tell. i typically only really dip into the stuff we've just started making (right now it's those goddamn almonds).
  2. i have a phobia of blonde women. truly. (but not you heather.) i guess my real fear is running into miss bk (who remember, i've never actually met) when i'm least expecting it, hair all asunder, unshaven, sloppily clad, screaming at the kids or something. thankfully they don't slum it at safeway or target! ;)
  3. it turns out i'm kind of outgoing. this surprises me immensely. i think i'm a pretty kick ass hostess too. i like having our friends over to the house; bonus if they crash here and make the house feel all cozy. i like talking with people that i don't really know that well and being in new situations.
  4. i have a recurring dream that my teeth are being knocked out, chipped, or coming loose. it freaks me out and i think that it's real. every. single. time.
  5. i used to be really really extremely anal retentive about losing things. stupid stuff like the kids' toys that even they don't give a crap about. i've gotten over it, almost completely. but when i get really stressed i kind of fall back into it.
  6. about six years ago i heard a crappy recording of a recording of a live recording of jason mraz. same with jack johnson. i feel partly responsible for their success. i'm waiting for jm to call me and thank me for helping him get on snl last saturday.
  7. other than amanda and emily, all of my closest friends have been men.
  8. really? only number 8?
  9. i enjoy drinking wine & beer. BUT, i could live my life happily without another drop of alcohol ever. apparently i didn't get that gene.
  10. my favorite movie is empire records. rico and i watched it about 20 times in a row when we were in middle school. not cinematic genius but so...on time for where we were.
  11. i'm definitely done having babies. my heart may change it's mind at some point but i've made a logical and well thought out decision NOT to have any more. i think i've got all i can reasonably handle and i'm really looking forward to the next stages.
  12. i've run two marathons and a half marathon with team in training. i was pregnant with parker when i ran the half.
  13. i hate running.
  14. i don't vaccinate my kids.

  16. there are several pieces of artwork in this house that have been done by my friends. paintings by ben and emily. a drawing by amanda. sculptures by my mom and bk.
  17. i am really really really bad at remembering names. but pretty good with faces. wait who are you again?
  18. i'm a very bad gardener but i have amazing abilities with succulents and cactus. m'kay?
  19. i haven't had my hair cut in a nice salon since high school. i go to the cheapy next door to the mexican restaurant place or my mom or ben or my brother's gf for haircuts.
