25 Random Things about Racheal

I got tagged by Missy on Facebook to share 25 things about myself. I thought I would share them here as well:

1. I love making lists.
2. I do not wear flip flops – ever.
3. I can sing the 50 states in alphabetical order.
4. I want to see the world. So far, I have been to 26 states and 9 countries. (Airports do NOT count.)
5. I have a scar beside each of my eyes. One is from tripping on the step in our first house, and the other is from a waterslide injury.
6. I can crack open sunflower seeds at an impressive rate.
7. When I was little, I wrote a letter to the Tooth Fairy asking for her autograph as proof of her existence. My mom still has it.
8. I won the 5th Grade Spelling Bee.
9. My hair is naturally wavy.
10. I have an uncanny ability to find four-leaf clovers.
11. I also have a weird ability to remember people’s birthdates. (Unfortunately, I am not so good at mailing birthday cards.)
12. I just started wearing eyeliner at age 32.
13. I have the best proposal story ever.
14. I don’t think that spouses should canoe together. My worst fight with Jeff in 10 years of marriage started in a canoe.
15. I have spent a total of 29 hours in labor birthing my 2 children.
16. I get my best parenting advice from the Berenstain Bear books. Mama Bear rocks!
17. I am a poor loser – and a worse winner.
18. Some of my fondest memories from childhood are picking blackberries and strawberries with my Granny.
19. I share a blog with my sisters, but I do most of the work.
20. I love sending out Christmas cards and wrapping presents.
21. I cannot stand to have split ends.
22. I am in charge of making the dressing every year for Thanksgiving. (Actually, for Thanksgiving Eve – we celebrate on Wednesday night.)
23. I love my children more than anything in this world, but I would probably go insane if I were home with them all the time!
24. If I were to give up pharmacy, I would probably make cupcakes for a living.
25. I really think that I could survive on a deserted island with a Swiss Army knife, a deck of cards, and a stash of chocolate.

So, Renee and Amanda, consider yourselves tagged.
