I wouldn't think about doing this, but it was put out there by my friend at Confessions of a Newlywed. Since I need something other than reading, working out and holiday baking to do, I thought, why not? Here goes:
1. I have no hometown ~ I'm an Army brat.
2. I am a complete perfectionist, from my writing to how everything is arranged in our apartment. Nothing can be out of place, not even slightly
3. I am extremely indecisive.
4. I never liked my middle name as a child. When I found out it was my grandmother's name, that changed.
5. Like my dad, I'm a sweet-aholic. I'd pass up salty chips for a cookie any day.
6. I hate being cold ... and I almost always am.
7. Sometimes I feel that because I moved so much for the first 18 years of my life, I have a really crappy memory.

12. I am terrible at math.
13. I have a permanent retainer along my bottom five teeth.
14. I have to wear a retainer each night for my top teeth ... but only do so maybe once or twice a week.
15. I have no desire for children yet ... not because I'm not ready, but because there is still so much I want to do with just my husband.
16. I played the piano until I was in college. Then I stopped, and now my fingers find the keys a little foreign.
17. I really like my feet and toes ... and I get lots of compliments on them!
18. I will try almost any food, except those that are slimy, like mussels and clams.
19. I love shrimp!

21. I love pampering myself ... or being pampered.
