Little Known Info About Me

1. I am a major cookie dunker.  Like, fingers-in-the-milk dunker.  When I married GoodLooking, it was one of the things I gave up because he didn't like it.  He takes a bite of the cookie then a drink of milk and "dunks" it that way.  BUT when I am alone and he isn't there to be disgusted, I dunk to my hearts desire ;)

2. I play with my eyelashes and eyebrows when I am tired (along with getting really giggly).

3. When I was a kid, my mom didn't cut my crust off my sandwiches (not that I ever asked her to) and I grew up not wasting food so when I would eat a sandwich, I would eat the crust all the way around first then enjoy the good part of the sandwich (not that I didn't like crust, just preferred the middle).  I still do that.  Unless it is specific types of bread where the bottom crust is sometimes the best part of the whole sandwich.

4. I like to watch make-up and beauty how-to's though I only wear make-up maybe 3 times a week which is how I justified my new bare minerals splurge of $30 (I've never spent that much on make-up before but I really like it).

5. I used to hate running now I can't wait to start my training for a race after summer.

6.  When I was a Junior in HS I was in a play called "The Mouse That Roared" and I was the grape smashing peasant girl and I show up toward the beginning of the play. On opening night I was really nervous and couldn't concentrate and I repeated my lines. I didn't realize it UNTIL my part was almost over.  It was like I was in a trance just robotically spitting words out of my mouth.

7. After I had Honey, I had a major problem with itchy armpits.  I tried everything for example; letting the hair grow out, not wearing clothes, skipping deodorant, extra deodorant, and showering 3X a day.  I finally went to the doctor and told me to rub some cream on it then put cortizone over the cream.  I did that for a week and my skin started to peal and it wasn't getting better.  If I skipped the cream to see if it was fixing the problem I would get itchy again. By itchy I mean scratch till it bleeds or cry hysterically because I just got Honey to sleep but now I can't sleep because I am itchy and she is going to wake up again in 45 minutes (the first month or so of Honey's life I was a complete mess!). So I went to trying my own thing again.  I finally tried shaving my armpits every day and that did the trick.  I think that what happened was my hormones were making my hairs thicker and my skin more sensitive and that was making it itchy.  I still get itchy around my time of the moon (which never happened before I had Honey... the itching I mean).  Having a baby changes you-me.  BUT now I know for when this kid comes out that I need to just shave the pits everyday.  (if any of you want the name of the other cream I will look it up... I think it was a prescription).


That last one was a bit long but I am sure few of you knew that before.

I don't think I knew any of those. Thanks for sharing.
