Did I Surprise You?

via

This is so much fun.  Good, semi-mindless Friday fun!

I was tagged by Erin of the Swanky Southern Yankee for a "You Might Be Surprised To Know That..." post.  (Read her answers here.)

Keeping this blog for over a year and a half now, there's probably a lot that you already know about me!  Let me see if I can color you shocked with a few of these facts.

So, without further ado --

{1} I'm highly superstitious, and if I hear of a new superstition, I add that to my "queue."  Did you know it's bad luck to exit out of a different door than the one you entered?

One thing I'm not superstitious about; they're cute.

{2} I secretly wish I'd become an elementary school teacher.

{3} A huge pet peeve for me is a fork with uneven tines.

{4} I love languages.  You already know that I was a Spanish major (from facts on this post) but I also took French in middle school, high school, and college, as well as Italian in college.

{5} Writing the words "love languages" above reminded me -- have you read The 5 Love Languages by Gary Chapman?  If not, buy it buy it buy it.  My love language is gifts.  Whenever I want to show love to someone, I typically express it in this style.  And even the smallest gift -- like a little note left for me by Ian on the kitchen counter -- makes me feel so loved.

{6} That Italian class I took in college?  Was the 2nd most intense and rigorous class I took in college, with 1st place going to History of Fashion.  No lie.

Sophia Loren I am not.

{7} I still have my wisdom teeth, much to my dentist's chagrin.  I was only born with three.

{8} In high school, I was given the senior superlative of "Best Dressed."  I walked up to accept my award in a Walmart top.  Not dogging on Walmart, but we also know that it's not haute couture, either.  :)  I am a big believer in mixing high and low.  It's all in how you pair it and accessorize it!

{9} I once met Kevin Costner and invited him to a keg party.  For some reason, he was a no-show.

{10} I had a college professor who led a discussion on conforming and how nobody would ever show up to class in a bathing suit.  The next day, I walked into class in a bikini and Rainbows.

What?  That isn't normal?  :)

PS - Friday car dance party commences at 5pm sharp.  Be there.
