50 things about me!

So I'm getting a little pressure from a certain someone (you know who you are) to put together a 50 things about me list. I must admit that I enjoy reading others lists and hearing interesting things about them; however, I am far from interesting and I'm not sure I can even think of 50 random things about me, but here it goes anyway. 50 things you would probably care less to know about me!

1. I have never lived outside of Utah and I'm not sure I ever care to.
2. My favorite class in High School was my pottery class.
3. I don't like milk and never have. I used to pour water on my cereal when I was younger ( I know gross huh?)
4. When I turned 18 I decided that I wanted a tattoo, so I went and got one.
5. I'm not a movie fan. The only movies that I like to watch are comedies and chick flicks (and a scary movie here and there).
6. I have only been pulled over once (knock on wood) and the stupid cop gave me a ticket anyway (I'm not bitter).
7. If given the choice between a piece of chocolate cake and candy...I would choose the candy.
8. I went skiing for the first time two years ago (kuddos to my lovely sister-in-law who picked me up off the slopes a million times, because I was to weak to do so myself... how embarrassing). 
9. I hate all seafood (even though I haven't tried most of it, the smell is enough to turn me off).
10. I'm not a fan of church meetings, but then again who is?
11. I love clean and organized places, but you would never know by looking at my house. 
12. I love working out and the way it makes you feel afterwards. 
13.  My favorite foods are pizza and mexican food.
14. I'm not a pop fan. The only pop I will drink is Sprite and Root Beer, but for the most part I stick to water.
15.  I love country music. I listen to other stuff but I always return to country.
16. I am a very emotional person and that's the number one thing I would change if I could. 
17. I'm terrified of getting up and speaking or saying prayers in front of people. I really need to work on this one, but I really have no desire to do so.
18. I love playing games, not those that require brains just the no thinker ones.
19. I'm a sucker for reality TV.
20. I can't hold a tune to save my life. I'm one of those that will only sing in the car when no one else is around (my kids don't count).
21. I played a little basketball in High School (I never claimed to be good but I did play).
22. I've always had red hair and hated it until I hit about High School age.
23. I've never been to Hawaii but hopefully will make it there this year!!!!
24. I have "cankles" and HATE them (that one is for you Jared).
25. I hate hiking.
26. My favorite candy at the moment are tootsie rolls.
27. My husband is a computer nerd and I am the opposite, I know nothing about them.
28. If I want a pair of pants that I can wear heels with I have to buy a 37" inseam.
29. I love to sleep and will nap everyday if I have the chance. 
30. I enjoy hanging out with my family.
31. I hate people that dress up to go to the gym. You're supposed to look terrible people!
32. I hate trying to figure out what to have for dinner every night, but don't mind cooking if I know what to make. 
33.  I love the french fries and fry sauce from Red Robin.
34. I hate people who drive under the speed limit. 
35. I'm addicted to the salad at Cafe Rio and have to have my fix at least once a week.
36. I have an ugly bone that sticks out on each of my feet, what do they call that a bunion? Who cares it's ugly.
37. I recently hit a tree. It sounds a lot worse than it was but it was due to ice. 
38. I've never learned how to swim.
39. As my little girl would say, I have "speckles" aka freckles.
40. There is just something funny about watching someone fall. I know it's totally rude but it still makes me laugh. 
41. I always pictured myself and wanted to be a stay at home mom when I was younger, now that I am one it is a lot harder than I ever imagined.
42. My husband says I can't live without my newly found homemade popcorn. Does once a night mean I am addicted? 
43. When I was a baby I had elephant ears (my family thinks it's hilarious) and they stuck out so other family members used to tease my mom and tell her to tape my ears down. At least I grew into my ears. Lol
44. If I won a million dollars I'm not sure what I would buy first.
45. I hate the feeling of being in debt, so the only debt we currently have is our mortgage and student loans. 
46. I love to be tickled. 
47.  I love taking my morning shower and will usually stay in the shower until I run out of hot water.
48. I was bit by a dog when I was little and have the teeth marks on my thigh to prove it. That dog was later put to sleep.
49.  When I was a sophomore in High School I got mono.
50. I'm so proud that I came up 49 things about me that I'm skipping number 50.

And there you have it. 50 things about me!
