Your First Car is Always a Great Fun Fact About Me to Start With

1. My first car was a ’77 Camaro that was gray and primer in color. Red interior. There was a spring in the driver’s side seat that had poked through, and I just knew would leave a permanent scar from me getting in and out.

2. I helped put the transmission and engine in my ’77 Camaro. I’ve bled I don’t know how many sets of breaks, but I really know nothing about cars other than to keep them maintained. #sorrydaddy

Your Guilty Pleasure is always interesting…

3. I love to sing Jessie’s Girl by Rick Springfield while in the car. I’ll do the guitar part, and Kalee will hit the drums for me.

4. I LOVE NY Pie’s pizza. I do pepperoni, bacon, and jalapeños, plus they have this amazing homemade ranch for the bones (aka crust) of the pizza!!

5. When it comes to singing, I tend to make up words and think that’s the lyric.

Examples:

John Mayer’s “I am still your man.” For me is “I am still a man” which Kalee finds hysterical and bets John is glad that he still finds himself a man.
Kenny Chesney’s American Kids…the lyric dealing with “little pink houses” for me “little bitty houses.”
Judas Priest’s, “Breaking the Law” for me is “Walking the dog” (I was referring to walking Izzie at the time and couldn’t remember the correct lyrics.

Hey, I say just roll with it. The best is when I mix two songs into one. I’ll do this often with two Britney Spears songs.

6. I love cupcakes and Nothing Bundt Cake!!

7. I have watched every episode of Friends, Friday Night Lights, Smallville, Gilmore Girls, Breaking Bad, Dexter, and Sopranos.

8. I have a crush on Vince Vaughn, Dwayne Johnson, Rick Castle (Nathan Fillion)…yes I know he’s a character, but he’s really cute, Coach Taylor (Kyle Chandler)…yes another character, but I just love him. Don’t make me pick between them.

9. Aside of NY Pie pizza, I love hamburgers, sushi, & pasta. Yes, I do eat healthy, but these are some of my treats.

10. I love going to wine festivals and food tastings.

Childhood memories are always Fun Facts About Me to share

7. I was so insecure in 7th grade that to fit in I thought I had to wear Jordache everything!!

It backfired. I had so much Jordache that I became known as the Jordache girl…not in a good way. #embarrassing

9. I witched for water when I was about 10. “Well witching” is what they call it. I was a pre-teen when I successfully found water. It scared me enough that I’ve not tried it again. Some say it’s a gift. I find it spooky. My grandfather, the 7th son, could do weird stuff like that. I just so happen to be the 7th granddaughter on his side, too.

10. When I was 14, I bottle fed a calf until she was up old enough to go on her own, but I’m not your country girl.

What’s on your bucket list is another great item to share about yourself.

12. I want to go to Bora Bora #bucketlist

What were you known for in school, high school, or college?

13. I was on the high school dance team…LOL!! It must’ve been a pity vote for me now that I look back at it and my current ability to dance.

14. I turn red SUPER EASY, so this was always a fun thing for a shy girl all through school.

Another Fun Fact About Me that people find interesting…PETS!!

16. I have a dog, Izzie. Due to some knee issues, I’ve started to cook for Izzie which she absolutely ADORES!!! It is truly disgusting though!! It consists of chicken livers, gizzards and hearts (gag).

Share some of your hidden talents or odd things about you…

17. I am a pretty good shot with a pistol.

18. I have green eyes which they say it’s rare? Most green eyes are actually hazel, but I actually have green eyes according to the eye doc.

19. I worked years ago in my dad and brother’s tire store every Monday for over a year. I could stack tires with the best of them!

22. I can curl my tongue and flare my nostrils. #talent

30. I don’t know if it’s unusual, but I have chapstick everywhere!!! I have a tube in my desk, purse, car, nightstand, kitchen drawer, coat pocket….You get the idea. I’m slightly addicted to it. The other weird thing in my purse is a pair of socks. You never know when you’ll need a pair.

Last One to get you going on making your own list…

What have you learned from a life changing moment or a big mistake?

35. For me, a life-changing moment…well, I’ve had several, but recently I would say it was my divorced after 28 years of being married. I’ve learned that I am way stronger than I realized. My purpose isn’t to make someone else happy. My purpose is to seek God’s purpose for me in order to bring glory to His name.

I’ve learned I’m loved, and I am strong.

I hope this list has entertained & helped you to think of a few of your own.

Try scattering some of these Fun Facts About Me (except about you of course, lol) throughout your bio or “about me” page. It just makes things more fun.

A Twist to Fun Facts About Me approach…the NOT So Fun Facts About Me List…

Pet Peeves are always Fun Facts about you to share.

1. I can’t stand when people – especially news anchors because it’s their job for heaven’s sake – misuse the word “I”…example: “This is a photo of Kalee & I” WRONG. I’m learning to let it go, but that’s a hard one. I cringe when I hear it, yet as you can see I don’t worry about using correct grammar in general.

2. I don’t like fat shaming or bullying. With that said, I don’t think it’s cool when someone huffs if I want to lose 5 pounds that the doctor said is perfectly fine if I lose. I think we all need to support one another.

Weird Things About Yourself That You Might Just Have In Common with Others

4. I don’t have a colon. I have (or maybe it’s “had” since I no longer have a colon?) ulcerative colitis. They couldn’t get it in remission for over a year back when I was 21, so at 22, I had my colon removed and an awesome “j” pouch created from my small intestine.

5. Due to the above, I pretty much know where all the clean restrooms are, lol. Yes, I’m “normal” but still with a shorter GI track, it’s nice to know where the restrooms are just in case. #TMI?

6. When I get nervous, I get quieter. When I get angry, I get monotone.

Your not so greatest achievements…

7. I can cook well enough. I have those meals & desserts I do well. Then I do some others that are just something to eat, lol, but even while I can cook well enough, I don’t do it very often especially now that I’m single.

When I was first single I would cook for myself thinking it would last me a week. Well…I have no self-control. I would eat too much of whatever I had cooked. If it was a pan of lasagna, for example, that would last anyone a good week, it would last me MAYBE 3 days.

So I just don’t tempt myself any more. I don’t cook but will do a meal delivery like Nutrisystem, Trifecta, or Veestro.

8. I’m not too adventuresome. I’m not planning to sky dive, bungeeing jump, white water raft, or drive extremely fast. However, I do like to try new foods though and travel to new places.

OK…I can’t really think of anything else. However, I am positive there are plenty more of the not-so-great facts about me, but why dwell on those when I’m so awesome, hee hee. (Yes, I’m a dork, too.)
