50 more

.
Remember this post? Due to a request (a long time ago) I have had this sitting in my draft file being totally forgotten about and half way done. I saw it a few weeks ago and decided to open it up, dust it off and added a few more to it.

I hesitate to even post it because for one, I am not that interesting, two I may seem harsh or strong minded and three my dumb blonde tallies will rise on your list you have going on me. But since I took the time to actually make the list I will post it so it wont feel like a complete waste.
So

I am a girl who:

* wears Vaseline as lip gloss.
* licks the sides of the popcorn bag clean of butter.
* busts Enya in the car and sings along with my 4 yr old.
* loves rooms decorating in all white. I call them fluffy rooms.
* thought you could only buy books from amazon
* ultimate pet peeve is getting stinged on toppings in my blizzard or concrete... or if its not mixed well.
* can't stand clutter, even threw away my high school diploma.
* thinks Ruffles and BBQ Lays dipped in sour cream is the bomb.
* bought 10 bottles of irresistible apple B&BW lotion because they were being discontinued.
* likes to watch the movie Rudy so I can listen to the background music.
* is addicted to Cherry 7up and Strawberry Crush, thanks to Casey.
* would check mark the "other" box because I didn't know what Caucasian meant.
* could sit in the laundry room and sniff Tide soap all the day long.
* is a scrooge about 2nd baby showers just because you are having a different gender. If that's the case I want a bridal shower after every 10 yrs of marriage to update all my stuff.
* failed my drivers license test for the first time
* is a necklace junkie.
* idol was Wendy Peffercorn, yes from the movie Sandlot.
* felt old fashion when 3 yr old niece looked at my tooth brush and asked if it turned on and I said no.
* could swim everyday of the summer.
* loves to watch my boys sleep at night, including Casey. Is that creepy?
* thinks PotteryBarn and Yogurtland  is over rated. sorry.
* can't wait to get old so I can go to the salon and have my hair done once a week.
* never went back to my Philosophy MCC class mid semester because I had a speech due the next day and  didn't feel like writing one.
* is t.e.r.r.i.b.l.e with remembering birthdays.
* doodles on the wall while taking a shower
* just saw Forest Gump on tv for the first time and when it was almost over realized Bubba Gump restaurant is affiliated with the movie. I always wondered why they had those shoes out front you could take pictures with. It all makes so much sense now!!!
* will probably never own a pet.
* does not like fruit in leafy green salads.
* keeps the inside of my car clean at all times.
* if gets cold while shopping at Walmart will take a sweater and wear it then put it back before checking
   out.
* kinda wants to get stung by a bee so I know what it feels like.
* super glued my fingers together and thought I was going to have to drive myself to the hospital to free them.
* is always looking for a reason to eat out.
* has never gotten into on-line shopping
* wants to go on The Amazing Race show .
* uses hand soap to wash my face at night. I'll be paying for that later.
* still wears my Etnie skater shoes circa 2003
* has a hard time making the bed.
* just read the book How to Win Friends and Influence People and highly recommends everybody to read it
* bank account is doomed if I ever have a girl.
* has to stop and think before writing the letter W.
* emailed Blue Bunny to let them know that their Monster Cookie ice cream was not living up to it's
   name and only had 6-8 traces of "monster" cookie within the half gallon.
* has to have the fan on while sleeping.
* swears Wendy Williams is/was a man.
* thought hand me downs were pronounced hammy downs and would sing by this shall menno instead of by this shall men know in the song As I Have Loved You.
* procrastinates until the very last minute possible.
* loves to give gifts.
* does not like de-boning rotisserie chickens, it gives me the willies.
* could watch tv for a whole day and not feel guilty about it.
* always asks hypothetical questions which drives the hubbs crazy!

I read all of the last 50 before reading this post and laughed so hard! I also get asked where I am from because of my "accent" and have seriously been considering getting my ears checked because I also seem to forget much of what Trav says. (Or anyone for that matter) But really, I think I'm hard of hearing. Ok.. this post... you lick the inside of a bag of popcorn... I lick the inside of my icecream bowls. The sweater at Walmart is hystercial. YOU READ HOW TO WIN FRIENDS AND INFLUCENCE PEOPLE??!!! I'll be honest, I'm shocked. You don't like reading and that's not a quick read. But it's dang interesting, huh?! My problem is, I learned a ton and agreed with all of it, I just don't know how I can truly apply it! It's hard to do. And my natural instinct is to do all the "wrong" things. But ya, I think it's a MUST READ for all. Wendy Williams is crazy annoying and totally a man. The "W" thing is funny. My bank account will take a serious hit when we have a girl too. Speaking of which... I'm pretty sure your next one is a girl and I can't wait! When are you going to be preggo?!!

martanna said...

I have been looking forward to this post for MONTHS! haha you did NOT disappoint! Thank you for being hilarious, I love you!
My confession? Didn't know who Wendy Williams was so I had to look it up.
I am also very proud of you for reading that book....I'll have to put it on my list! I'm trying to be a better reader these days :-)
I don't even know what to say....but seriously you are amazing. LOVE YOU

Val said...

Haha yay I love this! But Shelley, the soap has got to go. As soon as I'm back in AZ, we are putting an end to it! I will let not let you age 10 years earlier than normal! Haha love you!

Grammy G said...

Pretty funny! and you're brave to list them! I love all the comments, too!

I bet this request WAS a long time ago. You cracked me up though. I can see you licking a popcorn bag. Adam makes fun of me because when I make wings with Franks' hot sauce, I lick it clean too. I must have been influenced by my friends growing up:)
I think I'm screwed when we have this girl too and luckily we'll be done with dental school less then a year later so we won't be broke.
Your parents are so "groovy" and it looks like they are still loving life.
