15 Weird Facts About Me

I realize that I tell you all about what I do, and I do a lot of unsolicited advice giving and how-tos in this blog, but I haven’t really told you anything about me, so I’m going to do a 15 Weird Facts about Me edition.  It was recommended in a “‘How to Write a Blog” blog, and the questions to answer came from “Light by Coco.” I’m just dork enough to give it a shot.  Anyway, this is me:

• I’ve always kind of wanted a nickname, but I’ve never really had one.  Sometimes my mom calls me “Les.”
• I have a weird habit of making up new lyrics to songs to sing to my baby.  I do this one all the time, from “I’m Sexy and I Know It:”  

When I walk through the park

This is what I see.

Everybody stops and they’re staring at me!

I’ve got little chubber cheeks and I ain’t afraid to show it.

I’m a baby and I know it!

Wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, wiggle, wiggle yeah!

• I’m terrified of zombies.  I kind of jump into my bed, just in case there’s one wanting to bite me hiding underneath.  I always check the trunk of my car before I get in because I think maybe one is hiding there, waiting to eat Alice.  No kidding!  So scary.
• The song I love but hate to admit that I love it is “I’m Too Sexy” by Right Said Fred!
• My biggest pet peeve is entitlement.
• My nervous habit is shrugging my shoulders up to my ears and holding my breath.  I have to remind myself to breathe and relax my shoulders when I’m nervous.  I also pick at my cuticles and have since I was a little kid.
• I sleep on the right side of the bed.  Alice sleeps with us, and she sleeps between me and the wall, because Dan has flying elbow syndrome at night!
• My first stuffed animal was a cartoonish donkey thing, and my mom had me name it when I was only a few months old, so its name was “Ahgoo.”  I also still have my first teddy bear named, “Old Teddy.”
• I don’t often go to Starbucks unless I have a gift card, but I order a grande flat white when I do.
• The beauty rule I break is, I don’t wash my face before bed sometimes.  Then I wake up with mascara under my eyes and look like my greatest fear (see above)!
• I face away from the faucet in the shower.
• My weird body skill is that my elbows bend backward.

• My favorite comfort food is pizza.  Plain cheese, with the thickest crust possible.  Also, cake.
• My go-to exclamation is “O-M Gosh!” or “Dude!”  So sophisticated.
• Right now, since it’s not safe to have blankets when Alice is sleeping with me, I have to dress warmly for bed.  I wear sweatpants and wool socks with one of Dan’s oversized thermals.

Don’t you just feel like you know me now?  Thanks for reading!
