Stuff About Me You Don't Know


I still sleep with my retainer on

I can fold my tongue in half, not to be confused with taco tongue

I have a shameful addiction to this show

I skipped the first grade

I sing ever so quietly, under my breath, all the time

I have an irrational fear of being buried alive

My first love was Mighty Mouse

I don't pray as much as I ought to

I absolutely, positively cannot dance. At all.

I've never been to New York City

I've been told that I drive like a guy

I really believe that Uncle Rico is a philosopher for the ages

I had my first and only manicure the day before my wedding

I get squicked out by sitting in the big cushy chairs at bookstores. Ew.

I hate the smell of cinnamon, but love the taste. Unless it's gum

Babies almost always like me

So do dogs

It's situational with cats, however

My favorite smell is fingernail polish


Have a happy week!

  2. You are an interesting person. It's funny how you an eat cinnamon but hate the smell. That's one of my favorite scents for a candle. Love the cowboy boots picture. I've never been to New York either and I don't do manicures. I like it simple with just a little clear coat on short nails.

  6. Well, I think we can be friends. We have some things in common. Like the "housewives". I watch them all. New Jersey is my favorite because they are so familiar to me. I am from New York originally but I'm from Staten Island. I don't know anyone from NY that is like the ladies from NY. Jill is the only one that I feel is someone I could say is from NY.

    You have to one day visit NY. It is a wonderful place. I miss it.

    Have a great week!

  7. Hi Anne:
    I really enjoyed reading your answers today. Who'da thought? I skipped IN the first grade. I've been to NY...prefer the country, thanks. I've been told I sound like a guy! lol and I get along with almost any animals. We almost sound like twins, separated at birth. (silly giggling now)
    Thanks for sharing, girlfriend.

  12. Anne...are we sisters? I do love the smell of nail polish and gasoline, don't like the smell of cinnamon but I love a big and fat cinnabon. I love to drive go cart because I get to drive like a guy. I am afraid to be buried alive. I had one manicure in my entire life, too much money and it lasted one day, I actually tried fake fingernails that I pulled off with pliers the next day. I don't feel so weird now. Ciao Rita

  17. Ha! I laughed about the retainer! If Mom hadn't cleaned out my bedroom & taped up paint chips the DAY I moved out for college - I'd bet mine was still under the old bed b/c I lost it every single night I wore it!

    ReplyDelete
  18. LOL! Great post, Anne. This was so funny! Thanks for sharing a little more of yourself with us all!

    And me thinks you need more manicures. That way you can sit there, get pampered, and sniff your fav smell for an hour! :)

    Hugs ~

  28. Nail Polish?...you forgot the Ramen Noodles. No manicures for me, waste of money. I have paint on my hands too much of the time. And I've never been to NYC either. Love knowing all the minutia.
    xo,

  29. Oh Anne...I loved reading all these things about you! LOL, I love the smell of nail polish too so you are in good company! Finger nail polish and vanilla are my two favorites!

  30. you are so adorable :-)
    I have never been to New York either- unless sitting on a plane in a tarmack counts!

  31. Finger nail polish, thats a new one. I had a lady boss that loved the smell of skunks. Can you believe it. She would drive by a smushed skunk and enjoy it. So I guess you finger nail polish would be tame in that respect. I have never been to NYC either.

  32. SMILING here, because you are so darn earnest and sweet! And because my daughter's first LOVE was Scooby-Doo! She just parted from her first (non-animated) beau and is re-visiting her love for Scooby.....I think he just seems SAFER, at the moment : ). Hope your day made YOU smile, too!

  34. I love the smell of diesel. The first time I remember smelling it was at the airport in Hawaii so it has a great memory attached to it.

    I don't dance well either. Did you see the episode where Elaine was dancing? I'm almost that bad.

    I used to get my nails done, but with all of my projects, it's pretty pointless.

    I will definitely look you up the next time I go to Warrenton :D

    Happy hunting,
    Teresa

  37. Hi Anne,

    I loved finding out more about you, made me smile sweet friend.
    Nail polish applied in our house, has to be done outside ~ husband hates the smell and moans when daughter puts it on.
    I am still getting your blog translating to Afrikaan. I wonder if this is happening to anyone else, it automatically does this???
    I have to read really quickly before it does this.

    Hugs

  43. Too too funny! I have a fear of being buried alive too.. Started in 2nd grade after seeing some crazy movie. Warped my brain. Worried about it every day for a couple months. Was afraid my mom would think I was crazy if I told her. Finally got over it. .. sort of. I didn't get to skip first grade, but I got to sit with a box around me on occassion in 2nd grade because I talked too much. Oh! my! I just noticed the little yellow plates underneath the white pitcher to the left of the comment box. I have those very same plates! How funny! Gotta go.

  44. So much fun! Babies like me too, so do cats! Ha ha. And I don't want to be buried alive either. Although, I don't know anyone who does, ha ha. Take care, Riki xoxo

  45. I would prefer to be left sitting in a chair outside than think of being in a box. I didnt skip first grade but graduated H.S. in under 3.
    Dogs and I have mutual affection for each other.

    Interesting you like the scent of nail polish but only one manicure? Go ahead and get one and you can smell polish to your hearts content.

    Great boots.

  46. Is there not ANYONE out there amongst you that loves Uncle Rico as much as I do???

    :-)

  47. Love it, Anne...I also watch THAT show...and I've only had one manicure, too~ my hands are workers! But pedicures...oh, yeah...once in a while!

  48. Anne,

    Prior to moving to The Fairfield House I lived in Franklin Lakes NJ. I have attended many events at the Brown Stone.
    I'm with you on cinnamon gum.

    Your Friend,

  49. ok, this post is too cute! Nail polish? That will just make you high! Why not try vanilla or freshly baked cookies...? Driving like a guy is funny - I've been told I sneeze like a guy! Dogs, babies yup - cats- they don't seem to take a liking to me either. how odd.
    have a great day! : )

  50. This was such a fun post. You sincerely crack me up! I love your wit and authenthicity, Anne. Nail polish gags me, but the smell of paint... now that is something I love. It smells like progess to me! Take care, sweetie!
    xoxo,
    Anne

  53. Anne, I'm not so sure about the fingernail polish. Could that be good for you? :-)
    What I am certain about is, You need to experience New York City! Central Park is one of the most amazing places in our country. ~ Sarah
