Everyone knows what Face Book is, right? Well, for those of you who are not on FB, one of the really fun things on there is to write a "note" about yourself. The note that I have had the most fun with is "25 Random Things About You." I had the idea today to share my 25 Random Things About Me with all of you and have created a Blog Carnival for you to join in if you would like. I would love to read about all of your randomness so I don't feel completely nutzo, wacko, crazy, looney, coo-coo...you get the picture. You'll know what I mean after you read this:
1. I hate watermelon
2. I can never buy the 1st thing of a particular item that I pick up off the shelf. I always put it back and grab the one behind it...unless it is the last one and a good deal of course!
3. Even at 31 I am still able to stick both feet behind my head...I know, TOO MUCH INFORMATION!
4. I love Mexican food...Chipotle is my fav!
5. The summer after 5th grade I bought a pony named Tony...my dad paid halfsies so I guess that gave him the right to sell him at the end of the summer!
6. I am ALWAYS at least 10 minutes late for everything so it is best to tell me to be there a half hour earlier than necessary so I am sure to show up on time!
7. I have been dying my hair for over 14 years...not really sure what my natural color is...I'm guessing somewhere around "mousy brown"
8. I love gossip magazines and Entertainment Tonight.
9. Every time I type definitely, I spell it incorrectly (definately)...Thank god for spell check!
10. I am a "Lifetime Member" at Weight Watchers...lost 27 lbs after having Grant but still have 6 lbs to go before I get to that since Audrey.
11. I have had glasses since 7th grade. I wear contacts most of the time and want Lasik so bad.
12. Someday I would love to tour St. Jude.
13. I have an obsession of taking pictures of my kids. Thank goodness for digital!
14. I am a coupon clipper and a clearance shopper...anything for a good deal and I'm not too proud to admit it!
15. I always feel indebted to people if the do something nice for me. I'd give away everything if I could afford to.
16. I drove a demolition derby car at the Benton County Fair about 10 years ago!

17. My fav shows are: The Bachelor, Greys Anatomy, Desperate Housewives, The Practice, Biggest Loser, Brothers and Sisters, Extreme Makeover Home Edition and SVU (not that I have time to watch them all)....but Friends will always be #1
18. My biggest fear is CANCER. I HATE that word and don't ever want to see ANYONE have to suffer because of it.
19. I drive a mini van, said I never would but here I am...it's a Chrysler T&C so at least it is a top of the line mini van!
20. I hate dusting with a passion.
21. I've broken my nose twice.
22. Back in the day I used to party like a rockstar...not so much since having kids. The parties I go to now involve cake, ice cream, pinatas and lots of kids runing around like wild banchees...not too far off from the bar scene I guess!

23. I used to love to ride motorcycle...but since becoming a mom, the luster has faded. Too scared of not seeing my children grow up.
24. When I was little I wanted to be a veterinarian. Now my dream is to do photography on the side and be a stay at home mom. I can keep dreaming, right????
25. If you haven't figured it out already I have two children and they are my EVERYTHING!
Okay, there it is folks! Now it is your turn!!
I am using Mr. Linky (as does I ♥ Faces on their weekly photo contests and the ever famous MckMama uses on her "Not Me" Mondays)
I am guessing that I better explain how Mr. Linky works for those of you not familiar with it. And don't be scared. It is really easy once you get the hang of it.
Okay...so here's the skinny! First and foremost, you need to write a post with 25 random things about yourself on your blog. Once it's posted, open up that specific post by clicking on the name of that particular post in your blog. The address in the top of your internet browser should look something like this: http://tootie-fruity.blogspot.com/2009/05/25-random-things-about-you.html Now open up my "25 Random Things About You" post in another tab in your browser or in another browser if you don't do tab's.
In the first box that says "Your Name" you can put either your name or your blog name but keep it short (like less than 15 characters). Then in the next box that says "Your URL" copy the address that we got in the paragraph above (the address that brings you directly to you "25 Random Things About You" post) and paste it in the box. Then click "Enter". Shazam! You will have just added your post and Mr. Linky will allow anyone who comes to my blog the ability to click on the link you just created to your 25 Random Things About You post.
Easy peasy, huh? Now I want to see some of you "lurkers" come out of the shadows and join in. I know there are people who are checking in because I can't possibly have checked my blog 2500+ times. Have I ever said Thank you for stopping by? If not, here goes..."Thanks so much for stopping by!"
