A fellow blogger I follow posted 100 Things About herself on her blog and I thought it would be super fun to do the same for me on mine. :) So here they are:
1. I have a geographic tongue. Not one of those creepy geographic tongues you'll see if you google image search it, but a cool one that has a small patch on my tongue that 'travels' around from day to day or week to week. It's actually really cool.
2. I get the hiccups at least three times a day. This has happened since high school and usually happens around when I eat. Luckily, though, they usually only come in bouts of 1-5, so they don't last long at all.
3. I am a huge fan of Brazilian food. I could eat it every week and be happy with life. (although I wouldn't be happy with my waistline haha)
4. I've always hated my handwriting and wished I had the patience to really work on it.
5. I took karate for a few years in elementary school. Yay yellow belts!
6. I also took gymnastics. I liked the bar.
7. I used to have a cat named Snickerdoodles. Now I hate cats.
8. I have been self-diagnosed with OCD for 11 years now. I enjoy lists too much and feel a sense of rebellion when I mess up my room just so I can organize it again. :)
9. I hate orange and yellow candies of any kind (except for M&Ms, they don't taste orange or yellow)
10. I eat chocolate every day. And I love it.
11. My older sister Veronica and I get real snappy when we're hungry and I think it's cute that we have that in common.
12. I am testing the idea that if you write down 5 things you're grateful for every day for 21 days straight your brain thinks in a nicer way for 6 months. I'm on day 10 and am loving it :)
13. My Dad called be 'The Big Ham' growing up because I was such a drama queen who just wanted to be in the movies.
14. I still want to be in the movies.
15. And be a country music star. I went to Texas in the summer of '09 and sang with a country band, living my dream job. Most amazing feeling ever.
16. I just realized it sounded like I wanted to be Miley Cyrus growing up. Haha, I didn't.
17. I used (aka still) to eat brownie mix mixed with water. When I in middle school I'd take a box of brownie mix from the food storage room, eat some, and hide the box in the downstairs kitchen so my mom wouldn't get mad at me. :) She claimed when I came home from college for the first time that she was still finding open boxes of brownie mixes in the basement kitchen :) haha love ya, Mom
18. I'm extremely sad at knowing my kids won't know my Mom while they're alive.

20. I wish I had a killer closet. Like awesome.

I thought the only way I could get glasses was to mess up on the eye exam and then get them, so I randomly chose letters on the big chart and said I couldn't tell what they were.
