21 Things of Randomness
I was tagged by T at Racing with Babes for the 21 things of Randomness. So, I shall share 21 things of randomness and then tag 10 peeps.
So while everyone is out getting their Doorbusters and Black Friday deals.. here is something fun for you! 
1. I am extremely Type A. I always have a To Do List. So much that sometimes I feel like a slave to it. You know that saying, “Everything has a place and everything in it’s place”? Yeah. That’s me. Even my light bulbs are filed away and organized. I dream of having color coordinated organizational totes for each seasons decorations.
2. Even though I am Type A, I can’t think of a trip in the past 5 years, that I haven’t forgotten something. Back when I packed for John, I forgot his toiletries bag once. This football season? I forgot my outfit for the game. It’s become a running joke that isn’t really all that funny.
3. I didn’t want to have kids when I was younger. I wasn’t even sure if I wanted to ever get married. I am sure am glad I changed my mind.
4. I am the baby of the family. Because of this, I always sympathize and side with the younger sibling. Good thing for Addison that J is the oldest child.
5. I always stick my foot in my mouth. I say things unintentionally that hurt peoples feelings without meaning to, just by the way I deliver a sentence. That’s probably a really bad thing.
6. I have an uncanny ability to read people and know if they are “good” people to be around. I guess that’s what my mom always called her “mother alarm”.
7. I am addicted to my iPhone. I totally made fun of them when they came out and how ridiculous it was that J stood in line for hours to get one. And now the thing sleeps next to my pillow. I am expecting an intervention any day now.
8. I have a gimp pinky because when I was a Freshman in high school, I broke it during a game of dodge ball and none of my parents believed me and it never got fixed.
9. Since turning 16, I have had 7 cars. That’s kind of insane.
10. I have to eat candy color coded and in even numbers. Take skittles for instance. If I poured some into my hand and let’s say that I had 3 red, 2 yellow, 4 green, and 2 orange I would eat one green by itself, then 1 red and 1 green (can’t eat the colors back-to-back), then I would simultaneously eat 1 set of red,yellow, green and orange. And then eat the other set last. Make sense? Welcome to my OCD.
11. I never run or workout with my wedding ring on. It’s a little loose and I am afraid it might fly off. Plus, I am too lazy to go get it sized. In fact, I don’t sleep it in either. (I’m starting to wonder if he is going to take it back simply because I hardly wear it.)
12. I weigh more now than I did when I got married but am a much smaller size. In fact, my pants are sizes I haven’t seen since 9th grade and it freaks me out to buy size smalls. I seriously had a panic attack in NYC when I had to buy a small sports bra and small running tights. Thank you, running.
13. I didn’t consider myself a runner until I finished my Savannah half. I actually trained for that and have a time I am super proud of! Then I ran Ruben 15 days after and fell.. now I just consider myself a hardcore runner. I have the battle wounds to prove it.
14. I wish I lived in the 50′s or 60′s. Day dresses. Calling cards. Thank you notes. Gloves. Hats. Yes please. It all sounds so proper and fun. I love looking at pictures in J’s grandmothers house.
15. I had a wreck the week before my wedding and cracked two bones in my foot. I walked down the aisle in an ankle brace. It still bothers me and I run funny on that foot.. I think it resembles Phoebe.
16. Hubs and I can speak entire conversations based on musical lyrics or movie quotes. It's a gift. I think it's a requirement in the family.
17. I love romance novels. I hardly read anything else. I don’t care who knows it. Give me a cheesy love story any day over someone’s biography. I just love romance and chivalry.
18. I love to turn on my iPod and dance around with the girls. It’s one of my favorite things to do. I love music and want them to love it too. The other day Addy asked me if a song was sang by The Beatles. It warmed my heart.
19. I am so nosey but hate being in the middle of drama. Unfortunately, those two things seem to go hand in hand. I guess that’s why I love blogging and twitter. It’s the most awesome way to be so nosey. Becca and I were talking today about how we wished more celebs tweeted less about their charities(insensitive alert) or re-tweeting what people say to them and more along the lines of, “Oh I just ate 14 tacos and it gave me righteous diarrhea.”
20. I have nightmares about getting divorced. No, J and I don’t fight that often and the “D” word never comes up, but being a product of divorce has it’s downfalls and I guess that’s one of them. (Sorry parents! I know you are MUCH happier now and I gained an extra Mom and Dad, but it still leaves scars.)
21. I judge you when you use poor grammar. My 9th grade English teacher taught me well. It is worse than nails on a chalkboard to hear someone speak incorrectly. It makes you sound ignorant. Apologies.

I am so with you on the candy thing. Hello OCD!
Im on it…
I have seen you stick your foot in your mouth. Or text it, rather
You don’t look anything like that when you run. I love a good trashy romance novel – they are the best. If you ever find your way back to the 50s, take me with you!!
I do the same thing with Skittles, M&M’s, Reese’s Pieces, etc. I always tell people it’s my mild OCD coming out. Nice to hear I’m not alone!
Just saw my tag & the post is being written as we type.
And I honestly think we were seperated at birth. It’s like we’re the same person. Except for the whole running thing. That’s ALL YOU.
Great list! I seriously need to take up running.!!! I tried during the summer but didn’t stick with it. How do you run in the winter? Got to do it, Motiviation come on
Living in the 50′s would be sooo cool.
Can’t wait to meet you in person! I think you are my twin separated at birth!!!
