25 Random Things About Me
Cindy got tagged on Facebook and wrote 25 random things about herself and posted it on her blog. I enjoyed reading it so much, i thought i would repeat the exercise.
- I don’t like olives, but i do like dirty martinis.
- I think Matthew McConaughey has a sexy accent.
- I love to play bridge. I’ve been playing for 10 years. I have 2000 masterpoints. When i retire i will probably play bridge every day. As it is, i play twice a week and often use my vacation days to go to bridge tournaments.
- I serve my bridge club as Secretary/Treasurer. When we host tournaments, sometimes i get to handle ten thousand dollars in cash.
- My favorite ice cream flavor is mint chocolate chip.
- I’ve been married once. I was 22. It lasted 5 years.
- I’m currently living with my boyfriend. We have no plans to get married, and we’re both very comfortable with that.
- I was named after my grandmother.
- I graduated from NC State with a BS in Statistics and a minor in Math. The new position i have taken at work will make me use those degrees more than anything i’ve yet done.
- I can trace my genealogy back to John Alden and Priscilla Mullen of the Mayflower.
- I was on the swim team in high school. I wasn’t particularly fast, but i wasn’t the slowest either. Swim practice was at 6 am, and somehow my teenage self actually got up and participated.
- I was also in band. I played the French horn. For my junior and senior years, i participated both in marching band and wind symphony. Then, when i got to college, i dropped out of band completely because it was only a one hour credit but took up so much time. I’ve always regretted that.
- I am the oldest of three. My two brothers are my friends, and i feel like we always have each others’ backs.
- I always notice misspellings and incorrect use of their/there/they’re, to/too, hear/here, its/it’s.
- I would totally do commercials for Diet Sunkist. I love that stuff. Lance calls it “Diet Audrey”.
- I love reading and try to read every day. My favorite genre is fantasy.
- I am a Mary Kay consultant. So far i have not made any money, but i do get everything for half price.
- When i am stressed, i can calm myself by looking at my online bank account statements. Not because i have a lot of money, but because i like monitoring my credit card transactions and watching scheduled payments get made.
- I do not have religious faith, but i believe in the goodness of people.
- I get a small kick out of doing my taxes.
- My favorite beer is Yuengling. In college and even a few years after, i didn’t care for the taste of any beer. But now i genuinely enjoy Yuengling, and some other beers. I also like wine. Any wine.
- I am a cat person AND a dog person.
- I don’t wear a lot of jewelry. I have a few items that are special to me, and i wear them because i like them, not because they accessorize my outfit in any way.
- I need quiet time.
- I like movies that make me cry. Sometimes a girl needs a good cry.
