5 Things You Don’t Know About Me
1. I save my cheeseburger for last because it’s my favorite part. French fries always first.
2. I handpicked the paint color of our house when it was being built and nearly panicked when I saw the finished job. Rusty orange and brown. We had to pay a few hundred extra dollars to have them re-paint and left the color choice up to the builder.
3. I pushed my sister down a set of stairs. Years later she admitted she “allowed” herself to fall down them because I was always trying to push her and she wanted me to feel guilty. It almost worked.
4. My hands and feet are frozen. They’re literally just blocks of ice. I don’t even have hands and feet.
5. When I met Heather Armstrong for the first time I walked purposefully into the middle of a conversation she was having with other people and was all, “I just canNOT leave this room without saying HELLO to the mother of all mom bloggers!” She was very sweet. I embarrassed every one of my friends, but really enjoyed the wine that night.
5 Things I’m Knowledgeable About
1. How to properly swaddle a baby in 10 seconds or less and hand it to its mother.
2. How to hurt your husband’s feelings: Tell him your love for your children is unconditional, but your love for him is most definitely conditional and that he better not mess things up.
3. Inappropriate times for jokes.
4. Taylor Swift.
5. DEATH.
5 Things I Know Nothing About
1. How to build a shelter in Minecraft.
2. Fifth grade math.
3. How to decorate my own house.
4. Being rich.
5. Most things.
5 Things I Believe
1. There are drugs in food that have created an inability for me to pass a bag of white powdered donuts without longing to stuff every single one of them in my mouth instantly.
2. Animals should not be held in captivity unless they’re in danger, injured or unless they were adopted by me and the cage is my heart.
3. Girlfriends and good books. Everyone needs them.
4. There are three things you never lend your best friend: Your wife, your gun, or your chainsaw.
5. Sometimes you just need to make the jokes anyway.
Andrea says
I know there are drugs in food, too. I know this because I am addicted to certain things. Things that cause me to rip my kitchen apart looking for them and I finally settle on handfuls of chocolate chips.
And I did a similar thing with the paint, only it was our garage doors and shutters, and I left the color as it was, promising myself I’d get it redone in 5 years.
Two more years to go.
Mama Kat says
So true…I will hunt this house from top to bottom for a piece of chocolate when the addiction beckons. We’re so weak. I’ll make a paper chain to countdown the days for your new paint job. I’ve always wanted to a yellow house. Maybe in two years I will join you.
Missy says
I also save my cheeseburger for last, am addicted to mini powdered doughnuts and love wine. We should totally be girlfriends. P.S. I always make the inappropriate joke.
Mama Kat says
We’re practically soulmates at this point.
Kathy says
Girlfriends, good books AND wine – all necessities in life! I probably would have been right by your side fan-girling over Heather too :)
Mama Kat says
AND COFFEE! Wine and coffee. And right? How could I let the chance to say hello pass me by? She’s lovely. :)
Julia says
I was just thinking this ^^ as Kathy said, “Girlfriends, good books AND wine!”
I am like Chandler on Friends. I always make inappropriate jokes- especially when there is awkward silence!
Mama Kat says
Do not let me near awkward silence. I will always make it worse. Haha!
Natalie says
I’m always frozen too, even right now as we speak though it’s 80 something degrees outside!
And anything to do with Minecraft…I have no clue. My 8 year old son has try to teach me, but I just don’t “get it” he tells me as he’s rolling his eyes. The only thing I can do in Minecraft is get myself killed.
Mama Kat says
Are you tall? I feel like maybe my body was meant to be like 5’6″ but kept growing. So I’m only capable of creating heat for 5’6″ worth of body while the rest of it freezes.
Jerralea says
I don’t know anything about 5th grade math or being rich, either ….
I’d like to know about being rich, but the the 5th grade math? Not so much.
Mama Kat says
I would definitely like to know more about being rich too!
Mental Confessional says
Minecraft is one large pain in my ass. It’s always…Look at this! Watch this!
Dude, it’s blocks of color. Get over it already.
Mental Confessional says
Well shoot…
P.S. I just noticed the linky linked my link twice.
Sorry!
kelley says
I’m right there with you on 5 things you don’t know. I can’t believe your sister fell down the steps to make you feel guilty.
kelley says
the link to my blog didn’t work in my previous comment. I’m hoping this one does.
Damien says
Great post and set of prompts! If your feet are frozen, do what my wife does: Find your husband and place them adroitly on his stomach. lol. He’ll really be bothered by it but hey, feet gotta get thawed out right? Husbandly duty I say.

I stopped back today, 11/21 to see if there were any new link ups from Thursday to visit & comment on, but found no links whatsoever under “LINK UP.” I was wondering whether it’s a glitch or the linky isn’t working?
