1) I love dark chocolate. The darker the better. Someday I’ll probably graduate to just eating straight cocoa powder.
2)I have an irrational fear of vomit. Hear it, see it, smell it and I go into a full blown panic attack. I start freaking out if someone even says they feel sick. I went on a whale watching tour the first year we were here on a small boat where every. single. person. was puking (except us). I clung to PC til my knuckles were white and told him that I was in my own personal hell.
3) I have never been wasted drunk…..see #2.
4) I used to be a die hard Jessica Simpson fan (not of her music, just as a person). I loved the reality show Newlyweds and one year was convinced PC had contacted her to surprise me for my birthday. Sad.
5) I love to cook. If we move to Thailand I will make it my mission to go to culinary school.
6) I prefer a handful of really great friends over lots of ‘normal’ friends.
7) I. Love. Coffee. I love the ritual of it, I love the feel of the warm cup in my hands, I love the smell of it, I love the taste of it. Im not as happy of a person on the days I don’t get it. Hmm…is that how a crack addict feels too?
8 ) Im terrible about reading. The book Im currently “reading” I started last April. I love books, I love getting into stories but I never make time to read.
9) I give up easily.
10) I love being with my family…we laugh (hard) all the time. They are my most favorite people in the world.
11) I am one of 3 siblings and none of us reside in the US currently.
12) I am pretty much always right when it comes to recalling things. My memory never fails me. Seriously, memory= like an elephant.
13) I didn’t get the last chocolate chip cookie today. My neighbor made them and they were the really rich gooey kind like you get at the mall. Im seriously disappointed that my husband stole it right out from under me.
14) I don’t deal well with little sleep. I never pulled an all nighter in college. I knew I would accomplish nothing more by staying up late.
15) Im a bit of a food snob.
16) I wish I were a better photographer, I love taking and having pictures, I just wish I had the skills to take really great ones.
17) I like things that are little and cute. I fit right in in Japan.
18 ) I collect Starbucks mugs. I have mugs from all over the world.
19) Growing up I never had any interest in Asia whatsoever. Now I live here. We’ve lived in this house longer than we’ve lived anywhere else.
20) I swore I’d never be married to someone in the military. And yet, here I am. Somedays I absolutely hate it, somedays its ok, and somedays I beam with pride.
21) I hate cats. And well, lets be honest, I don’t like my dog much these days either, but most of the time I like dogs.
22) I know every modern US military aircraft by name, only because my son lives and breathes airplanes.
23) I enjoyed working at a bank– there is something about holding several hundred thousand dollars in cash that makes you feel kind of powerful. I also became pretty darn good at dealing with angry people- a skill I perfected over time. I can dish it right back atcha (and I don’t think many people would suspect this about me)- you don’t want me on your bad side.
24) I have grandiose ideas of planting a garden, growing my own vegetables, making compost and being a treehugger in every sense of the word but then…..see #9.
25) I don’t drink beer. My favorite drink is anything with an umbrella in it.
