I was speaking to someone the other day about how personal these blogs can get. There isn’t a whole lot that I won’t share with you guys. The blogs that I love the most are the most personal ones – the ones where I can feel myself nodding my head going ‘yup…i know this person.’ So I try to do the same.
You know about my PPD, my anxiety issues, my battles with low self esteem, my highs and lows of motherhood and of dating. You know about my sadness over my losing my mother. I’ve introduced you to my family (to a degree) – to my incredible nephew Scotty.
But did you know….
- that I dip my grilled cheese in mayo; I like peanut butter and bacon sandwiches and that I would die for toasted white bread with pineapple on top.
- that I can’t chew gum – no how and no way.
- that my mother called me Sara Edith (shut it) when she was mad; and Sara bush when she was happy with me….yes, it’s odd but I miss it.
- that I’m blind as a bat. An ex used to call my glasses the hubble telescopes.
- that I have a horrible habit of picking my fingers when I’m nervous.
- that if Will had been a girl, his name would have been Tess or Sadie.
- that I sleep on my belly – all night every night. Pregnancy sucked – except when I was at a beach – sand holes can be your friends.
- that I have stupidly long legs. My friend Jodi is about 5″4 (?) and we’re the same height sitting down…it’s an awesome party trick.
- that if I could only have one thing to drink for the rest of my life, it would be milk. No question.
- that I can say ‘I love you’, ‘chicken wing’ and ‘ass’ in German. It’s a talent.
- that I still dream that I’ll become a cop – a detective….Prime Suspect is killing me…I want to be her.
- that I like coke not pepsi but diet pepsi and not diet coke.
- that I will always stop whatever I’m doing and watch the following if they come by on TV – Serendipity; Step-Mom; Say Yes to The Dress (only NY); Law and Order SVU and the IronMan Triathalon.
- that I talk back to the television and change the channel when I’m embarrased for people. I also try to do this in real life. I know. Bizarre.
Are we tighter now?
Give me some of your stats. Don’t be shy.
I’m surprised the sausage in a pineapple didn’t make the cut. 🙂 Great post.
Not even the kind with a big wad of sticky GUM inside? *snicker:snort*
I will NEVER share a lolly – NEVER…gaggagagagagaga
Have you shared a lollipop with Will yet? I always wanted to throw tic tacs on your keyboard….never know I still know some inside people on your end! love it – thanks for sharing some more of your “craziness!”
i like my grilled cheese dipped in mustard. you have inspired lunch today!
i have a weakness for brown sugar sandwiches. quoi? yup, butter and brown sugar creamed together on bread….or just a spoon….
You’re my kind of crazy-person, lady. *grins her fool head off*
Carol it has something to do with the butter on the toast and the sweetness of the pineapple….you want to do it the best? Get french bread and toast it….oh god – I’m dying!
Sara I love your post. And I do feel closer to you now. I have no idea what toasted bread with pineapple would taste like and why you would like it. But I will not judge. I do admit to picking my cuticles too, which Jen thinks is a horrible habit. I have tried explaining that it’s a stress reliever but she just doesn’t understand.
