Sixteen things

My dear friend Billy, who turned 39 this week, asked me to share sixteen random things about myself:

1. I look more like my Grandmother (pictured above) every day, now if only I could posses her joie de vivre! Don't let her sophisticated appearance fool you - this lady is and always has been at least 80% mischief.

2. I love it when my husband makes me pancakes. They are delicious.
Sometimes he adds blueberries.

3. I have a soft spot for 80's pop culture. I gotta get back in time.

4. If somebody told me I was only allowed to wear blue jeans that would be okay with me. If I start the day wearing something besides jeans I still end up in a pair by the end of the day.

5. I am a pretty decent cook. This year my goal is to expand my repertoire of Italian dishes.

6. I let my dog sleep in my bed. He's only twelve pounds but manages to take up a lot of room, tosses and turns, and sometimes he is gassy. It's a good thing he's cute.

7. When I was sixteen I was terribly good at the piano. At thirty-two I am terribly rusty. My dream piano is a Bösendorfer. I wish I knew how to play the cello.

8. I've had braces (no toffee or caramels!) for the last three years... they are coming off in March! I miss being able to chomp into an apple or a crusty, chewy baguette. Chris is taking me out for a steak dinner to celebrate.

9. I am a movie junkie. My favorites are dramas and independent films. Every once in a while I'll rent a horror movie just to see if they still scare me to the point where I can't sleep.

10. I love the smell of freshly cut grass, rain, sawdust, and a newly opened box of band-aids. They don't make that perfume.

11. I am a minimalist. I have three knick-knacks in my entire home. It makes dusting easier.

12. In the fifth grade I said I wanted to be an actress/entertainer star when I grew up which is ironic since I get terrible stage fright. When I'm all alone I love to put on a rousing performance including dancing (trust me you don't want to see that) and singing (trust me you really don't want to hear that!)

13. I am married to my best friend. I also happen to think he is pretty cute. Plus, the pancakes thing.

14. Whenever I watch a wilderness documentary I decide I want to live in the middle of nowhere.
Then I start worrying about how far I would be from a good Mexican restaurant.

15. I will continue to go to rock concerts until I am at least 80 even though I remember laughing at thirtysomething's at concerts when I was a teen. Growing old is inevitable but acting old is overrated.
