25 Random Things

If you're reading this post and thinking to yourself "Hey, I already read Aimee's random list on Facebook" and are about to close your browser, think again! This list has all new random things about me. For my first list, I had to actually write everything down otherwise I'd forget. Even though I had 25, I just kept on writing and thought I'd share more random facts with you. Enjoy!

1. I hand-made my wedding invitations.

2. I remember exactly what I was wearing the night I met Lawrence.

3. My favorite breakfast food is french toast and bacon.

4. I can devour a whole container of dark covered caramels from Trader Joe's in about 15 minutes. Maybe 10 if I don't stop and savor the flavor

5. My favorite wine is from Marlborough, New Zealand.

6. When I laugh hard, I snort.

7. I've never had braces.

8. One of my favorite flowers is hydrangea's.

9. I don't like cheese except on pizza, but not too much.

10. When we were living in our first apartment, we had a VERY noisy upstairs neighbor. It sounded like elephants were tromping around. I used to hit our ceiling with a broom to get her to stop. It probably made things worse though.

11. My brother gave me my nickname, Aimus Pie. We were sitting in the airport in St Louis when I was 10 or 11 and the song "American Pie" came on. He started singing "Bye, bye Miss Aimus Pie" and it stuck.

12. When Lawrence and I were on our honeymoon, we played a lot of ping pong. We had so much fun that we bought a table when we got home. I can't wait to have more room in a backyard so we can start playing again (and take it off my parents hands!)

13. We don't have cable. We have good 'ole fashioned rabbit ears!

14. When Lawrence and I were dating, we used to have chocolate chip cookie contests.

15. I volunteered at Ground Zero after 9/11

16. Lawrence had lasik eye surgery in 2003. I watched the first eye on a huge TV and fainted.

17. I don't eat salad with dressing, but use fresh squeezed lemon juice instead.

18. One of my favorite things to watch is when birds fly in unison.

19. I make a list everytime I go grocery shopping. If I go down an aisle and see something we need and it's not on my list, I add it and then cross it off.

20. A lot of people I went to high school with LOVED Have'A Chips. I thought they were gross and didn't understand the obsession. I do now!

21. I thought I could see the Eiffel Tower from the top of St Paul's Cathedral in London. I even made my Mom climb the stairs so I could show it to her. Turns out I was wrong. I won't say how old I was when this happened...  :/

22. It really bugs me when people don't proof-read or use punctuation when they write. 

23. I make my own baby wipes.

24. I delivered my first child without pain medicine. I almost made it through the entire labor without pain medicine for my second child, but had been sick and hardly slept the night before and needed a break.

25. I will gladly sit and watch the "Lord of the Rings" trilogy with Lawrence. I have even suggested that we watch them!
