11 Random Things

by Lauren on February 5, 2012

Usually, I’m not one for completing blogger surveys but I’ve noticed this one roaming around last week and I’ve actually really enjoyed reading everyone’s answers.  Which makes me think that you may just enjoy reading mine.  Or not.  Either way, I was thrilled when Chelsea tagged me and allowed me to play along.
Here are the rules:
1. List 11 random things about mysel
2. Answer the 11 questions she asked
3. Come up with 11 questions to ask other blogger
4. Tag 11 other bloggers to do this next

My Random 11 Things

1. I was once slimed at Nickelodeon Studios, every 10 year old’s dream.  I was picked from a live audience and the whole thing was on TV.  It was probably the highlight of my 5th grade year.

2. I hate when doors for left open.  It drives me up the wall because my husband has the habit of not shutting doors, probably just to spite me but he’d never admit.

3. I hate to swim.  The thought of being wet and cold is not my cup of tea which is why I will never be a triathlete.

4. I’m deathly afraid of balloons and in term, loud noises.  Probably the reason why I can not look at a balloon without squirming.

5. I can roll my tongue….can you?

6.  ”Crash” by DMB is, was, and always will remain my favorite song in the history of any song that was ever created.

7. I don’t know my own bank account number or what is even in my bank account and yes, I work for a financial institution.  I married an accountant….and now you know why.

8. I would rather allow myself to be snowed in for weeks than to pick up a shovel and plow the driveway.  Shoveling snow is the bane of my existence….again, another reason why I got married.

9. My ring size is a 3.5.  When the husband went to buy my engagement ring, they didn’t believe him and then they thought he was a pedophile.

10. I hate cats.  (I might loose some readers for that one) But I do have good reasons.

11. If I had to pick wine or water as the only drink I could have for the rest of my life….I would always, always choose wine.

 

Questions I Have to Answer

Chocolate or Vanilla?  - Chocolate, but if you would have asked me 10 years ago it would have been vanilla. 
What would you do with 1 million dollars?
- Let my husband decide because I’m fairly confident that he would be able to double it.  In my mind, he is a financial genius.  
Where is your favorite place to buy groceries?  -
 Wegmans for real groceries but Trader Joe’s for fun
What is your biggest fear?
- I don’t want to answer this one right now
What is the last book you read?
- I have no idea and that is sad. 
Favorite movie?
- Serendipity 
What do you see yourself doing in 5 years?
- I actually had to think of how old I will be in 5 years….I hope to see myself as a mother. 
Romantic or comedy movie? –
Romantic comedy 
Last dream you remember?
- I can’t remember anything right now
Have you ever been in a car accident?
- Yes but thankfully nothing serious 
What is the longest friendship you have ever had?
- My friend Jill and I have been friends since Kindergarden.  We don’t talk as much as I wish now but she is definitely my closest and longest friend. 

New Set of Questions

  1. If you could live anywhere in the world, where would you live?
  2. Beer or Wine?
  3. What is your favorite quote?
  4. One thing you always have in your purse?
  5. The best concert you’ve ever been to?
  6. What would be your last meal?
  7. What is one word that makes you cringe?
  8. If you could live one day as the opposite sex, what is the first thing you would do?
  9. Do you believe in soul mates?
  10. Gossip Girl or Glee?
  11. What would be your ideal job?

I loved learning some random things about you!!! I personally do not like to swim either, especially not in open water! and cats are not my friend either…i love dogs and mine are about the size of a cat so it all works out! thanks for the tag! i will have to think about these things! cant wait for the weekend :-)

Abby @ Abz 'n' Oats February 5, 2012 at 8:41 pm

Love the random facts! :) The story about your ring size is too funny!

Emily February 5, 2012 at 8:41 pm

i could listen to “crash” over and over again without ever tiring of it. i am a dancer, and made up a dance combination to it for a class once, because it’s just so perfect. popping balloons scares me SO much. at birthday parties when theyd play that game where you sat on a balloon and tried to pop it (or not pop it i cant remember), i could never play because i was terrified of the sound, it hurting me, and i probably had a bunch of other reasons too! im happy im not the only one to have had this fear.

Lauren February 5, 2012 at 9:04 pm

Crash is epic isn’t it? haha, I have such a similar story about me and birthday parties when I was younger.

lynn @ the actor's diet February 5, 2012 at 8:49 pm

oh boy i have to start thinking! i can’t believe you were slimed!

Lauren February 5, 2012 at 9:03 pm

Top 5 best days of my life!

EricA February 5, 2012 at 9:24 pm

This is so fun!! Very cool that you got slimmed-jealous! And such tiny fingers :)

Erica @ For the Sake of Cake February 6, 2012 at 7:45 am

I hate swimming too! I agree — the wet/cold factor makes it a no-go for me!

Lauren @ What Lauren Likes February 6, 2012 at 7:51 am

Haha love this! I can roll my tongue :)

Jill February 6, 2012 at 1:20 pm

Loved DMB when I was in university. I like “The Space Between”.

I dislike cats too. I grew up loving them and then switched my light on that one. Just not a cat person at all.

The questions you pose for the tagged people are deep. I’d be in deep thought all day trying to figure them out. Clearly I’m a confused mind!

ErikaMC February 6, 2012 at 1:41 pm

Reading random things about people are fun! Thanks for sharing.

I made your pumpkin protein bars yesterday and they are so good. I used chocolate protein powder and added a few tablespoons of dark chocolate chips.

Alaina February 6, 2012 at 1:46 pm

Thank you so much for the tag Lauren! I had fun answering the questions.

I am all about wine too. :-P Have you ever been to the Finger Lakes of New York? My husband and I love going there for wine tasting.

Elise February 6, 2012 at 10:03 pm

The #9 random fact (the one about your ring size) cracked me up!

Lauren February 7, 2012 at 7:52 am

True story!

Marlena February 7, 2012 at 10:30 pm

I’m afraid of balloons too! I’ve gotten better, I can blow them up now. But they’re always really small when I blow them up!

And I’m so jealous you got slimed!
