More on my Favorite Subject... Me.

I've been tagged many times on Facebook to write 25 Random Things about myself. I held out on participating for awhile, but gave in while eating my lunch today. I cheated a little though, since I'm posting to Blogger and not Facebook...

1. As soon as I saw my husband walk through the restaurant's door on our first date, I knew we'd get married.
2. We met on Match.com.
3. No, we're not in a commercial.
4. People accuse me of being nosy, and I am; however, I am an excellent sleuth and have complete confidence in my research abilities.
5. I used to drink a lot of Coke in college, but wanted to cut down on my sugar intake. I switched to Polar Seltzer & am completely addicted. I drink 2-3 cans a day.
6. I allow myself one coffee (medium iced hazelnut with skim, no sugar from Dunkin Donuts) per day.
7. I am the moron you see holding an iced coffee on my walk to work in -10 degree weather.
8. I make half a box of spaghetti for myself and finish it. I don't believe that 1 box is supposed to feed more than 2 people...
9. I prefer salty to sweet.
10. I only eat hot dogs at ball parks. They taste better there.
11. I don't understand people who don't make at least a small effort to stay physically fit.
12. When my husband & I have a house someday, I want to have floor to ceiling bookcases in at least one of the rooms.
13. I can recite Spaceballs & Pee-Wee's Big Adventure word-for-word with the characters.
14. I regret not spending a semester abroad, and tell anyone who will listen that they should not make the same mistake I did.
15. The Dunkin Donuts I go to in the mornings plays the best music. I imagine the customers and staff breaking out into elaborately choreographed numbers when a particularly good song comes on. Especially when "Like a Prayer" is on.
16. I love writing song lyrics and jingles.
17. I torture my husband by singing them non-stop. He's especially tortured by a song I wrote dedicated to my love of sandwiches.
18. I am a terrible singer and dancer.
19. I love to sing and dance.
20. But usually it's when I'm cleaning the house or cooking and can't embarrass myself.
21. I will always sing karaoke though. (And embarrass myself.)
22. I love my family.
23. You aren't supposed to like your in-laws, but I love them and wished they lived closer.
24. I love my friends.
25. I am raising money for Mass Eye & Ear. If everyone who reads this donates a dollar, I'll have a couple hundred bucks! Please donate $1! You can do so here: www.firstgiving.com/got2trotlibrarian
