25 Things You Didn't (or Do) Know About Me

So I've seen this posting on Facebook before and usually ignore the urge to do it. However, when my brother, Taylor, wrote his 25, I said to myself, "Self - if Taylor can do it, you can do it." So here it is...my first blog entry and 25 Things you Didn't (or Do) Know About Me.

1. I used to be obsessed with George Clooney...meaning I cut out every article I found and even had books on him...he's dead to me now.
2. I didn't drink beer until I was in graduate school and now, it's my drink of choice at times.
3. My little sister's middle name is one that she got because of me. I choose it because it was my best friend's name.
4. I'm living in a place that I used to laugh about...Rocky Mount.
5. I hate when people squeeze toothpaste from the center.
6. Flamingos are my fav animal. But only because I tell myself they eat shrimp all day.
7. I love cycle classes and I'm currently going through withdrawals.
8. Me and my siblings are all separated by at least 2 hours...and that makes me sad.
9. I NEED a cup of coffee in the morning to be nice.
10. I hate mayonaise. It makes me want to vomit.
11. But I love love love chicken salad that is usually made with mayonaise. (the fruit, nut and honey chicken salad at harris teeter is TO DIE for...seriously.)
12. I love everything about cooking and secretly wish I could be a cook on the Food Network.
13. Brad Pitt is not hot. And he never will be.
14. I had a retainer before I had braces...thank you, Mom and Dad for my glorious pre-braces set of teeth.
15. I used to want the biggest wedding ever...now I want a small, quaint wedding and a reception of a lifetime.
16. Mexican food is my favorite. I could probably eat Qdoba everyday for the rest of my life. Unfortunately (or fortunately), there's not one near me.
17. I haven't had a sugery soda since I graduated high school. And don't plan on it either.
18. I wish I had my teaching license - I might make that reality in the next year.
19. I never arrive on time. I'm always early. Always.
20. Going on random day trips with Chris is probably the best thing ever. Tobacco Museums...Duplin Winery...World's Largest Frying Pan...and that's only the past 2 weekends...
21. I have a plant in my office named Shucks. He's all ears.
22. I would love to be on Wheel of Fortune one day.
23. I'm obsessed with going to Greece one day.
24. If there's one thing I want to do before I die, it's to milk a cow.
25. If it wasn't for the risk of skin cancer, I'd tan every day for the rest of my life.

Since writing this list yesterday, I came up with one more that must be added, so...
26. The grocery store is my personal Heaven. When I'm grocery shopping I'm one of the happiest girls alive.

What are your 25?
