This could explain a lot

I’ve decided to resurrect an old idea for a blog.  It’s the 25 Random Things blog.  I liked doing it and maybe, just maybe, you’ll like reading it.  So here it is!!!  25 Random Things about Denise!

1. In high school my “In 20 years” said that in 20 years I would be the CEO of Dr Pepper.

2. I have really, really short toes.  I think they are adorable but my brother makes fun of them, loudly so that others find them humorous too.

3. I don’t like beaches. Well, really, I don’t like wet sand on me. Dry sand is ok.

4. I don’t like being dirty, which would explain why I don’t like beaches.

5. I want to be able to draw and sometimes I think I can.  Then I actually try and that idea is shot down.

6. I want to be a professional singer.

7. I wish I had put more effort into school.  High school, College and Grad School.  I feel like I’ve missed out on a lot of knowledge because I just wanted to breeze by.

8. I have a personal rule of not shaking hands with anyone wearing a rubber glove.

9. I have an unhealthy crush on Sean Connery.

10. I want to go skydiving.

11. I love cheese and gravy.  I believe that every food dish, no matter how bad, can be improved with cheese or gravy.  If there was a cheesy gravy, we could rule the world.

12. Believe it or not, I am a good cook.  I even won a Chili Cook-Off.

13. I like to blog.  I haven’t done so in quite some time because I like to think about it for a while.  I actually have one ruminating.  Actually, now that I think more about it, I have about three rumbling around.

14. I collect Cabbage Patch Kids. Haven’t gotten one in a while though.

15. I had lice, like, 7 times when I was in the fifth grade.  My best friend Sheena had it and kept giving it to me.  You see, when her mom would wash her hair with the special shampoo, she wouldn’t wash her sheets and pillowcases so she never really got rid of it.  My mother, however, went through my long, thick, curly hair with that stupid tiny comb and washed everything in the house that my head may have touched.  After a while she got kinda sick of it and said that I couldn’t be friends with Sheena until her mom got rid of her lice for real.

16. I didn’t think Madagascar was a good enough movie to warrant a sequel much less a third AND a Christmas special.

17. I hate to admit it but I kinda like Labyrinth.

18. I want to be a writer.

19. I wonder where the heck did Planter’s Cheez Balls go.  I know that there are other kinds out there but Planter’s had the best.

20. I used to throw up a lot as a kid.  It was because of my migraines.  I actually wanted to throw up because afterwards I felt better and the headache went away long enough for me to fall asleep.  Because of that I became very aware of the stages of throwing up.  Now, when I throw up little blood capillaries burst all over my face, including on my eyelids.  It’s very strange looking.

21. Daisies are my favorite flower.  I believe some of that to be attributed to the part in You’ve Got Mail when Tom Hanks brings Meg Ryan flowers when she’s sick.

22. I have the best sister-in-law ever.  You may think that your sister-in-law is the best, but mine really is.  I don’t care what you say.

23. I wish I lived on a cruise ship.  Not as an employee.

24. I am willing to go anywhere and do anything as long as I know that God wants me there. How will I know if I should go somewhere, if my husband wants to go there too.

25. I’m amazed by foreigners who are able to do a completely flawless American accent, like Hugh Laurie and the two lead characters on Fringe.
