I have had a few instances in the past few weeks where someone has learned something about me and remarks “really? I NEVER knew that about you!”, or something similar…
I also, (no joke) got an email from an in-real-life-friend about a concert they thought I would like to go to because “____________ said you love them and always see them when you have the chance.” It was most definitely NOT true.
It seemed a fine time for a random fact share.
1} I feel as though I mentioned this before, here, but this was one of the “things”, so here goes… I LOVE made for tv Christmas movies. Granted, I am the world’s toughest critic on mainstream films, but when it comes to Christmas movies- The more made for TV, the better. {Person who did not know this: My husband Chw himself!}
2} I aspire to be an amazing cupcake baker. I have romanticized the idea for so long, (without actually baking any cupcakes) that it will likely be a HUGE disaster when I do. At least I know I can make some darn good muffins…
3} I wish I sewed. I have everything (EVERYTHING) I could need to sew beautiful things. I lack sewing confidence. (And cupcake confidence apparently!)
4} The absolute best thing that could happen in my day, (any day) is personal mail. There is nothing that speaks love to me more than opening an envelope to a handwritten letter or card.
5} My favorite game, in the whole entire world, is Bingo. Since I was single digits in age. I LOVE Bingo! I wanted to grow up and go to Thursday night Bingo like my grandma did. I never get to play bingo, so I have a game on my phone. I literally count the hours (24 to be exact) until my credits renew and I can play a few games again. I LOVE bingo!
6} I LOVE Thai rice.
7} I used to be 50 times craftier than I am now. i don’t know if it’s laziness, or emotional exhaustion, but the idea of doing something* crafty makes me feel wiped out. (Or sewing, or baking cupcakes) This is making a very small, handmade Christmas a challenge. Ironically, in 2008 we had a 100% handmade Christmas for twenty people more than this year, and it went really well. WHAT IS WRONG WITH ME???
8} I can’t boil eggs. There. I’ve said it. Yes, I am embarrassed.
9} I NEED to have my toe nails painted (even if it’s chipping, but i’d rather it not be.) but can’t stand anything other than clear polish on my finger nails.
10} I love wine. I say I love wine, but in reality I probably like 1% of the wines I have tried. Now, that 1% I REALLY love though.
11} I can’t stand movie theater popcorn. That being said, I love the popcorn my mom Julie made. It was awesome even several days later. (that’s probably what ruined me!) I also like Target’s popcorn, though I never get it. Best of all though, is my husband’s popcorn. I COULD (but don’t) eat it every single day!
12} Some of my favorite movies are really awful, low budget, critically booed movies. {A few examples are: Surviving Christmas with Ben Affleck and Christina Applegate, and Grease 2}
13} I also really love Vignette movies like New York, I love you, New Years Eve, What to Expect when You’re Expecting, and Valentines Day.
14} I love birds. In life, in photograph, embellished on home decor.
15} think laughter is the greatest tool we have, in the whole world.
Rainy Day in May... 
Did you happen to see the Christmas movie on ABC family last night? It was a made for TV Christmas movie. It is called Mistletones. I didn't see it but thought of that movie when I read number 1.And I have to agree with you on 5 and 9. I have to have my toenails painted and I LOVE Bingo. I barely started to play a few months but I fell in love with it the first time I played. Oh, I love Grease 2!! Always sing "Cool Rider" ;-)
Grease 2 is the best… I did not see it, BUT CONFESSION: My tivo is at 85% capacity and it is ALL Made for TV movies. We recorded it. Genny is DYING to watch it so i imagine we will see it this afternoon… (she is a girl after my own heart!)
I haven't seen New Year's Eve, but I loved Valentines Day. Or maybe it was the other way around :)I love TV Christmas movies, too.
