5 Random Things About Myself

Audra tagged me to tell you 5 things that you might have not known about me before...

(1) I recently quit drinking coffee! In pursuit of a thinner body, I began fixing my coffee with fat free creamer and fake sugar...it really wasn't good anymore, so what was the point in drinking it? None, so I quit!
(2) I detest talking on the phone to Justin for long periods of time. The truth is that a phone call only fulfills one of the five senses, when we could be experiencing them all if we were face-to-face. Believe it or not, we long distance dated for the majority of our relationship and most of our courtship consisted of phone calls. We would have fights all the time. Finally we made a pact that if the other wasn't "ready" to talk or was busy we would call back later and talk only if it was convenient...no hard feelings. When Justin worked out-of-town this summer, we really didn't talk that much. Of course we talked multiple times a day, but they were short and sweet.
(3) I get ready in the same order every day. Makeup: cover up, base, eye liner, eye shadow, curl eye lashes, mascara, and right before I walk out the door I apply loose powder. The same is true with my hair same order everyday. I HAVE to do my makeup before my hair. My hair looks terrible if my face isn't on!
(4) My sister taught me how to write in cursive. In the third grade my family moved after Christmas from FL to GA. In FL cursive was taught after Christmas break. In GA it was taught before. So I missed out. Leigh taught me a few years before thank goodness! If I saw a letter in someone elses handwriting that I liked I would copy it and practice until I got it how I liked it. My "H" I picked up from our church secretary, Brenda Owens.
(5) Justin thinks people think I'm a "sissy-fru-fru-head," but really I have some tom-boyish tendencies. I can hang with the guys pretty well...I like to camp, fish, kayak, hike, shoot guns, be outside, dig holes in the ground...

#2: I totally agree! Baron is out of town right now, and I like having multiple, short conversations throughout the day.
#3: I am the same way!!! I think we may have a bit of OCD. :-) The eerie thing is that I put my makeup on in the EXACT same order as you! Freaky. Oh except that I have to use concealer for my bazillion zits.
#4: I learned to write my name in cursive outside of school too!!! My mom taught me!!

Wowzers.
