Stolen - 30 Things

i am seriously lacking blog inspiration this summer... i've got this new job, but it's not really right to share the who's and what's of it all. my ethics class is a.w.f.u.l. and not at all worth blogging about. nuggie is doing great - but i don't have a whole lot to share. life is just sorta chugging along. enter my super fabulous blogging (and real life) friend - shannon! she shared this little idea on her blog and i'm completely stealing it. i hope you don't mind friend! head on over and check out her blog here.

THE LIST:

1. List 20 random facts about yourself.
1. i LOVE end of the world disaster movies... the cheesier, the better. sci-fi channel movies are the best - 12.5 megaquakes and killer tornadoes from mars - LOVE IT!
2. when we went to NYC a few years back we totally saw richard simmons running down the street in his teeny tiny shorty shorts.
3. the weather and i... we have a love/hate relationship. i'm far more obsessed with it then someone my age should be. i'm terrified of storms. but give me a lovely fall afternoon and you'll hear me exclaim, "i'm in LOVE with this day!"
4. i don't like cantaloups. ick - they taste like slime!
5. i can't sleep any other way than curled up in a ball on my side. i'm getting some super awesome wrinkles on my chest from snoozing this way, but i can't help it. i literally can't sleep any other way.
6. if i had had my way nuggie's name would have been journey. seriously. i think i've got some better names picked out now though for future kiddos.
7. i've got two tattoos. and i've got another one picked out for when i graduate from nursing school. i've got a rose on my foot (for sweet little nuggie) and an abstract seahorse on my back shaded in with the colors of the thyroid cancer ribbon (since i'm a thyroid cancer survivor).
8.  npr on sunday mornings is the best... car talk, wait wait don't tell me and says you - LOVE them all!
9. i have very clear memories of a ghost being in our house when i was about three. i called him mr. greenbean and he wore a green hat. i wonder if he was real or if i was just a nutty little kid?
10. i firmly believe that there isn't much better than a new purse. filling it all up and keeping it organized makes me happy. 
11. marrying my amazing hubby, giving birth to our sweet baby girl and going back to school are the three things in my life that i'm most proud of. three of the best decisions ever.
12. i desperately want to be on a game show. any one will do really. i think i'd like to be on wheel of fortune the most though.
13. saltine crackers with butter on them are the best snack ever. 
14. i've never left the country. i hope to fix this someday.
15. my favorite book is "a tree grows in brooklyn" - it's such a wonderful story. read it.
16. i don't know how to swim.
17. in college i took aerobic walking. how is this even a class?!?
18. i use a gajillion nicknames for everyone, even in real life. my poor hubby has had to deal with probably a dozen in the ten years we've been together. sorry if this bugs people, i just love it.
