Things You Never Knew (And Probably Didn’t Want to Know) About ME!

‘Ello friends.  I know I am bad.  It has been awhile since I last wrote.  But, just like getting back into an exercise or food habit, it takes time.  Therefore, I want to post little things throughout the week just to get me back in the blogging habit.  I really miss it. I do.  I think after 6 years of attending journalism school I sadly needed a break from the written word.  But, now I don’t want to be on a “break” from it.  I miss words, vowels, nouns, adjectives, and of course abbreviations.  So, for my first assignment, here is 10 Things you never knew (and probably didn’t want to know) about me!  Ready?  Set?  Read!

10. I have small hands (but you know what that means: I have a big heart).  Seriously though.  My hands create so many problems for me.  Example 1:  When I do the dishes or cook, I break a dish at least.  Out of 6 wine glasses that the boy gave me, ONE remains.  It is super sad that my little hands can’t handle (pun intended) doing the dishes.  Example 2:  I can’t eat or drink without spilling on myself.  I am not kidding.  I need someone to give me a bid half the time because my hands can’t manage to do the simple job of carrying food to mouth.

9.   I can’t open a twist off bottle.  Whether it is a beer bottle, IBC rootbeer or Smart water bottle, I need assistance.  It is very sad and will slow me down if I ever become a bartender.

8. When I get sick all I want to eat are carbs.  Bread, popcorn, sandwiches, bagels, etc. are drawn to me like a moth to flame.  In fact, I am eating popcorn right now and I have a cold. 

7. When magazines that are addressed to my apartment but not me end up in my mailbox I tend to read them and then return them back to the mail room area of my building.  I feel if I return it, its not a problem.  And it is technically addressed to my apartment so it is just the person’s fault for not editing there shipping address form.

6. I haven’t gone to the gym since last summer.  I haven’t ran since that 5k on Thanksgiving which was horrific.  Yay for yoga and its magical benefits. 

5. I HATE CLEANING. HATE WITH A PASSION.  But, every so often I get the urge to clean and it is like a cleaning binge.  The boy says I have “blackout cleaning sprees” because I tend to throw things out and put things away but then I don’t remember where I placed anything after the spree.  Usually, it’s his stuff that goes MIA so I can see his annoyance from this.

4. If I could eat one food the rest of my life it would be pizza, preferably topped with jalapenos, sausage and lots of Thai chili hot sauce.

3. If I hosted a dinner party and could invite anyone, I would invite: Anthony Bourdain, Hunter S. Thompson, Bob Dylan, Paul Newman and of course my girl, Lucille Ball.  I think it would be one hell of a bash.

2. If I could have anyone’s job I would choose Padma Lakshmi‘s as host of Top Chef.  I would love to have 3 wardrobe changes per episode and eat delcious ass food.

1. My resolution for this year is to grow as a person and live each day with grace and compassion.  It is difficult sometimes (because I am human)  but I think attaining to be a better person is a wonderful goal to have.

Anything I should know about you?
