25 random things about me!

I did this on my facebook too, but thought it would be nice to keep my weirdo list compiled somewhere else too, so here it is!

1. My baby weighed 10 pounds 10.6 ounces when he was born by way of C-section. If it is true that your babies get bigger each time, I do believe I am screwed! : ) P.S. I hope all my babies don't have to come by way of C-section. I would like to give REAL childbirth a go sometime. I DID grow up with my brothers always telling me that I had great birthing hips. I find it ironic I wasn't able to do it!

2. I was worried that I would have the first ugly grandchild on the Hansen side. Jack was number 15 and he is SO NOT UGLY! In fact, I think he is one of the cutest kids I have ever seen! I love being his mommy!

3. I have some serious OCD tendencies. I count stairs when I go up or down them. I also check and recheck for locked doors, closed garages, and unplugged cords even when I am like 99.9% sure I already did it.

4. I married a non-Mormon. He is the most amazing man, husband, and father ever. I am SO happy!

5. I miss my glory days of sports in high school and college. I would have worked harder then if I could go back and change anything.


6. I wish I could play the piano better. I took for several years, but wish I would have stuck with it longer. Basketball is great, but it does not help you step up to the plate to play the piano at church.

7. I love to peel my skin and others skin after they get a sunburn. Oh how I love it! Growing up, me and my sister would fight over who got to peel our brother's peeling back.

8. I am obsessed with picking at Jack's nose and ears. I cannot leave a booger unpicked!

9. I also love to pop zits and pick scabs. I also have a tendency to rip out my eyelashes as I try to pick mascara off of them. I know, all disgusting but all true.

10. I am obsessed with basketball. I play, coach, attend games, or watch basketball anytime I can. And I think I know QUITE a bit about the sport! I usually say things right before the game announcer says it!

11. Growing up, I always dreamed of going to a Utah Jazz game, sitting on the front row, and getting kicked in the head or sweated on by Karl Malone as he dove into the crowd after a loose ball. Yeah. I was a fan.

12. I love to sit and eat sunflower seeds. But I cannot stick a bunch in my mouth all at the same time and eat them. I eat them one at a time.

13. I love Cherry Coke Zero, Dr. Pepper (especially from Pizza Hut) and Diet Dr. Pepper. I love pickles, little smokies, hot dogs, corn dogs, fries, and tator tots. I also love sweets WAY too much! Mmmm. I don't think I can give up my pop and sweets. And does my favorite food list look a little white trash? Oh well.

14. I cannot eat cooked or dried fruit. I think it is the texture probably, but I think fruit in any form other than raw is so GROSS!

15. I love to sweat. I don't work out as much as I should, but when I do, I love the feeling and I love to sweat.

16. I am only ticklish on my feet and my butt. Weird. I know.

17. I have scoliosis and ciphosis (sp?) Thus the hunch and curvature of my back. I don't like to "work on it" even though Dustin and my mom beg me to.

18. I hate confrontations of any kind. I am a wuss when it comes to them. I especially hate telling a server at the restaurant if they get my order wrong or returning things to stores. I seriously, seriously hate it.

19. I am a perfectionist and I hate it about myself. I hate starting cleaning projects, school lesson planning, cutting my dog's hair, etc because I am perfectionist and it takes me a thousand times longer than other people.

20. I am teacher, but I want to be a nurse or coach at a college or high school or work as a sports information person.

21. I LOVE taking naps! Sleep in general is one of my favorite things, but I don't think I have slept through a night since well before Jack was born.

22. I have one friend who has been one of my best and closest friends for more than 20 years now!

23. I have had two surgeries to repair a torn ACL in my left leg. The first time I tore it playing basketball against my sister's college team and I could have sworn she shoved me. But no. No one was around me, it just tore as I did a crossover. We discovered it was torn again when I was having surgery to get my knee scoped shortly before my wedding. And now, I was told by a doctor up here that it is torn again. Stupid ACL and stupid surgeries that didn't work.

24. I have a very small head and very thin hair. I can wear children's sizes in hats and all my hair can fit in tiny elastics and tiny clips.

25. I hate hair and I have a really weak gag reflex. I dry heave very easily. Hair, bad smells, and even the sound of people gathering spit/loogies in their mouth makes me dry heave. In HS, people used to put hairs on my food just to hear my dry heave. Not funny.
