Random Info.

So, since I'm a pretty random person (if you haven't already noticed), I figured I'd post a few random facts/thoughts about me. Enjoy!

-My favorite color is green...it also just happens to be the color of my eyes.

-I hate when people smack their gum or their food. Bleh.

-It bothers me when people can't spell simple words or use the incorrect word in a sentence. Ex: We was eating lunch. (instead of using "were") It just sounds so uneducated. Or when people use "there" instead of "their". I mean, one refers to a location while the other is a possessive form...come on people!

-One day I want a cabin in the woods with a porch and a porch swing and rocking chairs. I would sit outside all the time. There's nothing like sitting on a swing/rocking chair a cool morning (in the fall), reading my Bible and drinking a cup of coffee. Oh, and don't forget a blanket...I'm cold natured. (I guess that should be another random point.)

-I'm cold natured. I get cold after I eat. I don't mean just a little cold. You can ask anyone that knows me well, but I have to have a jacket or blanket nearby after I eat because I get that cold. What can I say? I have an extremely well functioning digestive system.

-I really don't enjoy running (unless I'm angry/frustrated and need to let off some steam), but I force myself to do it in the name of health and exercise. Walking with a quickness isn't too bad when I walk with a friend and we can carry on a conversation. (preferrably without panting, but then, that's not really walking with a quickness...that's more of a stroll)

-I love peaches...especially the ones that when you bite into them, juice runs down your chin.

-I love baking. Cooking is fine too, but for some reason I enjoy baking various sweets. I think it goes back to when my dad's mom lived with us and she would make homemade chocolate chip cookies. These were the best chocolate chip cookies I'd ever had. I couldn't figure out what made them stay so soft. (probably love and a little self-rising flour) She would bake sweets for us all the time (and it's amazing that I don't weigh 200 pounds because of it) and she loved to see us devour them and go back for seconds. I think I got my love of baking from her. I don't eat everything that I bake (if I did...I'd probably weigh 200 pounds), but I enjoy passing it out to family or friends. Somehow baking is theraputic...don't ask me why.

-I enjoy the outdoors...hiking, fishing, camping, etc. I wish I could go camping more often, but I don't really have any friends that are huge campers. Most of them would probably rather "camp" with a cabin. (which really isn't camping) I'm big into hiking and I love all the different places there are in Colorado to hike. My best friend, Danielle, lives in Rifle, CO and we go hiking every time I come to visit. (which I wish was more than just 1 time a year)

-I would love to go to Yosemite. It's a photographer's paradise there. I've only seen it in Ansel Adams' pictures and I would love to have an opportunity to go and attempt to capture it's beauty myself.

-I despise broccoli with every fiber in my being. I include with that strong disgust, cauliflour, which is just broccoli's albino cousin. It's just as gross, but white, crunchy and tasteless. Slathering broccoli in cheese doesn't mask it's disgusting flavor. I'm shivering just thinking about that awful taste. The only way I can eat broccoli is grilled on a hibachi grill with all the sauces and drowned in that peachy colored sauce they give you...but I don't do that very often.

-Gerber daisies are one of my favorite flowers. They come in so many beautiful colors and they can just brighten up a room!

-I don't like spiders...or centipedes...ok, or anything with a ton of legs that can run fast. Mice creep me out too. (especially since my office at work was infested by them and they found my stash of oatmeal, tea, and granola bars and annihilated it, leaving traces of themselves behind...)

-I think Lambert's is the coolest restaurant idea. Their slogan is pretty catchy..."Home of the Throwed Rolls". If you've never been, I highly recommend it. You can catch as many hot, doughy rolls as you'd like. They carry sides around in big pots and serve them to you while you wait for your meal. The fried okra was ah-mazing! I didn't try any of the others. They just didn't sound so tasty to me. (macaroni and tomatoes...really?) If you go for dinner, don't eat the whole day because they have ginormous portions. There was a rumor going around that they don't allow you to take food home, but when I went, we were able to...so either go hungry, or save some for lunch the next day.

Ok...so that's all the random facts/thoughts I'll share for today. Hope you enjoyed!
