30 Things You Don’t Know About Me (Part 3)

Me and hubby riding on the beach at Kiawah Island last weekend

You can read Part 1 here and Part 2 here.

  1. I don’t eat ice cream in the winter. My husband thinks its strange but if its cold outside I’m not eating ice cream.
  2. I’ve been using eye cream since I turned 18. I’m not taking any chances, even if “Black doesn’t crack.”
  3. One of my most embarrassing moments was being ill-equipped for my cycle during the 9th grade. A boy had to tell me and thankfully he was gracious about it. I’m sure it has happened to most of us, so you know the feeling of horror. 
  4. I have an ugly cry. I may have mentioned this before but I’m not kidding. It looks like my face is melting when I cry. 
  5. Plants come to my house to die. It’s shameful, I know. But I can’t keep house plants alive. I’m the same way with fish. Since they can’t tell me they’re hungry/thirsty I forget to feed them. I plan to do better in my 30s. 
  6. I hate to cook, but I love to eat. Cooking is a means to an end for me. I can cook and I do cook, but I don’t relish in the process. This is one reason why I love visiting my family in Florida and Jamaica. I have a couple aunts who LOVE to cook. Since I love to eat, its a winning combination. 
  7. I’m a stickler for proper etiquette. Emily Post’s Etiquette book is on one of my coffee tables right now. 
  8. I love learning about history. My favorite historical genre is royal families. I’m fascinated by the coup d’état plots, the extramarital affairs, and the strange habits that humanize the royalty. 
  9. My husband and I honeymooned in Turkey. He shares me love for history and Turkey is teeming with historical events.
  10. I love sour candy. Some people have a sweet tooth, well I have a sour tooth. I still eat more than my fair share of sour candy. My favorite is sour belts (sold at candy stores only).
