40 Quirks for 40 Years
We may earn money or products from the companies mentioned in this post.
To start with, I should have created this list when I was 20. It’s much easier to come up with 20 unique things versus 40! Try it!! Since it’s my birth month and I’ll be 40, I thought I would share some of my uniqueness with you. Here we go:
- As a child I wanted to legally change my name to Barbara. I’m thankful my mother didn’t let me follow through with that. I still love the name, but I am so thankful and blessed for the family name I have.
- Twizzlers are my FAVORITE candy….like I could eat bags upon bags. It’s really ridiculous.
- I adored Kenny Rogers as a child (and still d0.) I owned every record that he had (and still have them). For those of this generation….we had records. Google it.
- My favorite food is Mexican. Being from Kansas I am aware that I’ve probably never had real Mexican food but I love the Tex-Mex that we enjoy here.
- I am a lover of cats, specifically pure white long-haired cats with blue eyes. Someday in this life I will own one.
- MAINE – such a tiny state way up on the east coast but it’s the one the and only place I want to visit before I leave this earth.
- I’m messy…but don’t like when anyone else is.
- I despise cooking. It’s a good thing I married a man that enjoys it. I only cook because I have to eat. I hate the whole process.
- But I LOVE baking 🙂 go figure.
- I was a dancer for 12 years of my life. Tap, ballet, and jazz and I LOVED every minute of it. I still regret to this day giving it up.
- I gave up dancing to be a cheerleader for four years.
- Valentine’s Day is my favorite holiday.
- Spring is favorite season. The growth and renewal of Spring brings such hope!
- I’ve had four children. Three living and one angel.
- Music is one of my passions. There is such power in music and no matter my mood, there is something to fit it.
- I grew up in the wrong. I would have fit in perfectly 50’s. The music, the ladies clothing, everything.
- I don’t like ice cream. It’s a sin I know. I usually eat about two bites and then I’m done.
- I have a personal space issue. I crave closeness but have a hard time sharing it.
- I love Air Supply. Shun me now…..but I bet you do too 😉
- My baking experience involved making brownies…with the help of my mom. The box said to “mix by hand” I did….literally.
- I’m an adrenaline junkie! I love the rush of anything exciting!
- I have one tattoo – maybe two by the time you read this 😉
- I don’t know my real dad…but my step-dad is pretty amazing!
- I eat candy corn by color. My entire family laughs at me because of it.
- I have a secret passion to be a psychlogist.
- I was in Who’s Who In American High School Students.
- I dance and sing like a crazy fool when I am by myself. It’s the best therapy!
- I don’t watch movies. I have a hard time sitting and not feeling productive. On the rare occassion that I do watch a movie, I always woder why I don’t watch them more often.
- My favorite movies are musicals with Fred Astaire, Doris Day, Judy Garland, and so many more. This goes back to me living in the wrong era.
- I REALLY, REALLY, REALLY want to go to the Carribean someday!
- I drank Dr. Pepper for over 15 years and gave it up cold turkey. All pop in fact! I didn’t think that would EVER happen.
- I modeled for the Jones store one year. Not my forte.
- I was coloring before the adult coloring craze hit. It got me through a lot of emotional, crazy times. More good therapy.
- I hit my snooze button at LEAST four times! I AM NOT a moring person.
- I have to shower EVERY SINGLE MORNING, no exceptions. If I don’t, I literally can’t function.
- I suck at saving $$$. It never happens. On a positive note, we refuse to have debt and don’t own ANY credit cards.
- If there is a self-help book that’s been written…I’ve read it. No joke.
- I ADORE bacon – the fattier the better!
- I curl my toes every time I use the bathroom – the hubby figured this one out. One of those things you do that you don’t realize you do.
- I detest mushrooms but LOVE morels 🙂
There you have it! 40 things you didn’t know about me five minutes ago and now you do. I know…hats time you can’t ever get back. Sorry 🙂
