25 Random Things...

So I'm doing a cross post of my 25 Random Things list from Facebook. Hope you enjoy a look into my lameness!!! As if you needed more evidence of that...

My List of 25 Random Things

1. I have been working for almost 15 year in a place that I totally believe in and will most likely stay for my entire career. Even if I become a novelist!!!

2. My family’s nickname for me is Moose.

3. My grandma’s nickname for me is Sweet Face.

4. I have been stressed out since birth…I’m sure I have told you the story about how I made my Mommy go and get work I missed from kindergarten when I was out sick for a week. Hello??? Type A personality much?? Childhood?? Peeshaw…

5. I’m allergic to soy…and that rhymes with Joy. Joy can eat no soy. ;)

6. I am an INFJ…introverted, intuitive, feeling, closure fanatic. Not pretty…

7. When I was diagnosed with Type 1 Diabetes…I just sort of took it on. Didn’t cry. Didn’t stress. I was oddly at peace. I’m not sure if this was a good thing or a bad thing.

8. I miss my Grandpa, Chass, and Joel every single day.

9. My best friend is my sister and I have no clue how I could exist without her.

10. I am addicted to Vera Bradley…seriously…I have a problem. I justify every purchase with some lame excuse…when really…it is all just so pretty!!! And it makes me happy!!!

11. I would love to work in a particular hospital someday…and not just because there are cute doctors who sometimes do bench science too. SWOON!!!

12. I hope that someday I can work in Palliative Care…because I think I would be really good at it.

13. I am super organized and crazy with the lists.

14. I have learned over the past two years that I am really good at event planning too. Who else could help get a big meeting of really smart people together in about six weeks? And have a small team of folks who caught the dream and worked their butts off too to make it happen.

15. I REALLY REALLY love my job and am so happy that my career has unfolded the way that it has. I have been so lucky!!

16. I am a total romantic and wake up every day thinking that it could be the day that I finally find “him”. Whoever he may be. (I can’t believe I just wrote that…LAME!!!)

17. I still can’t quite believe that I get to volunteer at Camp Fantastic…despite my shyness. I must have done something right/good along the way in life to be bestowed the honor.

18. I really, really love to write and would love to publish a novel someday.

19. I am so excited to celebrate my rescheduled birthday on February 13. Which…by no accident…is the same day that “Confessions of a Shopaholic” movie is released. Reading Sophie Kinsella made me think that perhaps I could be a chick lit author.

20. I am embarrassed that I have such a low friend count on Facebook…although I did just join…I will not be able to tag 25 people. (More proof of how LAME I am…)

21. I miss happy hours with my IT friends/family…one of these days I will get the full crew out together again. Or rather…not work so late that I miss the ones that are scheduled.

22. I love Duff on Ace of Cakes…he is like a big teddy bear…with cutest darn laugh.

23. I love Henry Rollins…I read his books/poetry to help me write from the male perspective.

24. I am so proud of my friend Nicol who is doing the Iron Girl in August.

25. I finally after way too many years…finally outsourced cutting the lawn this past October. Boy will this coming summer be awesome…hello lounging and tanning!!!
