10 Random things about me...
and more.
10 random things about me.
- When I was 20, I bought a one way ticket to New Zealand. I worked on farms, at a winery and hitch hiked solo. Wild and amazing experience.
- I faint, really easily. Like when I got my ears pierced, in church, when I’ve cut myself badly + deeply. I even fainted during the morning rush while I was working at a bagel coffee shop. Yep, that was me.
- I lost a lot of hair due to depression.
- My husband proposed to me in Ireland where he is from. I hadn’t showered, it was windy and he gave me a ring from the airport. It was perfect.
- I can’t sit on the couch for long. I’ve got to be doing something.
- I’ve been helicopter skiing and love all backcountry skiing adventures. Skiing deep snow in between trees and in deep valley’s is just amazing – nothing like it.
- I have the “fake it till you make it” philosophy.
- I love interior design, but I’m the first one to ask my design friends for advice. I can’t read music – I totally faked that clarinet concert in elementary school. Sorry, Mom.
- I’m a list writer. I write 1 list a day and then I loose them or start a new one.
I don’t like cheesecake, flan or crème Brule. Give me all the chocolate though.
And if you made it this far...
here are more random things about me.
I’m an Aries. Courageous, determined, confident, enthusiastic, honest and passionate.
I love to garden and to give away my bounty to others. Can’t wait to have another one some day.
My parents got divorced when I was very young. It taught me about resilience, independent and what love really is. Plus how women are just bad ass.
I’ve had food poisoning. I think from a chicken taco salad at a restaurant. That made me sensitive and aware of cooking chicken correctly.
I am very competitive. Watch out, I’ll beat you to the top of that hill.
I graduated at the top of my class in Culinary School. I was also the second oldest at 30 years old in my class.
I love adventure, exploring and getting out there.
I can be impatient, aggressive and impulsive (Aries right there for ya).
I never really washed my face until I turned 38 years old.
I’m a horrible dancer. After a cocktail or two, maybe I’ll get on the dance floor.
I did an Outward Bound course during high school, and spent 22 days on a 30 foot open sailboat without an engine. Like pooping in a Home Depot bucket, sleeping on the oars, not showering the whole time – honestly, taught me I could do ANYTHING I put my mind to.
I don’t eat a lot of fruit. I don’t know why, I just don’t.
My favorite cocktail is a vodka soda – with a splash of a random juice. I haven’t had a beer in years and wine used to me my friend – but we broke up.
I have a hard time relaxing and enjoying a massage. But I love acupuncture, cupping and facials.
I’ve moved 20 times in my 40 years on earth. And will be moving again soon.
I love getting dressed up but I love a good white t-shirt and jeans.
Well, that was fun. I recently saw Mary from Five Mary’s Farms post on Instagram, 10 random things about her and I thought it would be nice for me to do that for you.
I have found it’s fun to know random things or fun facts about people you “meet” on the internet.
So now you know more about me than you did before you read this.
What’s something you could tell me about yourself?
