My "30" Stats!

Oh boy, get ready everyone! This is either going to be the most interesting or least interesting post you've read of mine!

In celebration of my 30th b-day I thought I would post 30 useless and random facts about yours truly! 

1. I have never eaten at KFC.
2. I've written two fan letters in my life. One to Prince William and one to Anthony Tolliver. Prince William wrote back (ok, ok...his secretary did), Anthony Tolliver did not...
3. I have three grey hairs (that I can see) and I love them!
4. My favorite movie is Twister (duh)
5. In high school my tire literally fall off my car...apparently those things need air ;)
6. Many dislike brussels sprouts, but they are my absolute favorite veggie...or maybe it's spinach...oh, but I love artichoke!...ok, apparently I need to work on narrowing favorite veggies down.
7. I'm not afraid of little furry fellas like mice, moles, voles, etc. 
8. Every time I pass an animal killed on the side of the road I pray for it's soul. 
9. 'Jeepers', 'irk', and 'oh for crying in the mud' are all a regular part of my vocab. I'm an old soul. 
10. Movies that jump time, like the Time Travelers Wife, confuse the hell outta me...What? Is that the current him or the past/future him? What time period are we in now? *mind. blown.*
11. I have a couple things on my bucket list, but the ones that I'm looking forward to checking off the most are becoming a trained weather spotter and hopefully hearing Mumford & Sons at the Red Rock Amphitheater in CO. Ah...someday :)
12. Tiny Tim and Robin (Kermit the Frogs nephew) all annoy me something fierce! 
13. I've never seen The Sound of Music or Annie in full...actually, add Annie to the list of characters that annoy me.
14. My elbows are double jointed. 
15. I like symmetry and for things to have their place.
16. I enjoy talking like Lou Nanne. Oh, ya know...da hockey guy!
17. Taking the little breather tabs off of coffee cup tops is a must. It's a quirk!
18. I love car washes and think they (usually) smell so good so I blast the air and take deep breaths! The tri color smells so fruity! 
19. I, unlike most people, usually consider gross body stuff so interesting. Seriously, I don't have a queasy stomach. When I had my emergency appendectomy I asked the surgeon if he would save my appendix so I could see it. He did. And it was pure awesome. He even took pictures and gave them too me! Bless his heart!  
20. I like watching sports where you can see easily the players faces, like basketball and swimming vs. football or hockey, because I like to see people's emotions. 
21. Definitely is a word that's spelling gets me every time...
22. After it rains, I watch for worms who've come up from the ground and are on streets/sidewalks and I pick them up and plop them in safer locations. I call it the "Save the Worms Brigade" and have been doing it since elementary school.
23. Shh! I snitch lilacs while on walks :) 
24. I believe that all of the people, animals, and critters who have gone before and whose lives one has touched will be waiting at the pearly gates to welcome them to Heaven! With Jesus of course :)
25. I have over 80 nail polishes. Yes. 80. My grandma (Larson) counted them all with me the last time I saw her before she died. She also proceeded to tell every one at the facility she lived at my number of nail polishes after I painted her nails. It's one of my favorite memories!
26. Currently, I'm a "regular" the Eden Prairie Starbucks, Eden Prairie Old Chicago, and Shakopee Badger Hill Brewery...meaning someone (or multiple people) at each place recognize me. :) Clearly, I'm a big deal folks...
27. You wanna make me bawl? Let's watch The Cure. 
28. I'll take the sound of an organ over a piano any day.
29. Still, to this day, I'm terrified of E.T....that finger haunts me *shudder*
30. I love me some free stuff. Like pens, notepads, jar openers, yard sticks...or chip clips!! So naturally the MN State Fair and professional conferences are exciting ;)

Welp, that's it. That's the list at this point in time! While there are a ton of other things that make me, "me", there is only so much that I can list before I fear that I will bore ya'll to death...which I may have already done!

I'm excited and ready for my 30's! A new decade! A new adventure! Here's to the 20's and the life lessons that were learned - and cheers to to my 30's! I'm ready!

So, this here in history (ha!) is the last blog post of my 20's!

Until next time when I'm 30....

Coffee, Cats, and Wine and I'll Be Fine
