Nonsense and Gibberish

So I've recently found the page for Friday Follow and I think it's pretty awesome. I love meeting new people and I have been blog hopping this morning reading about everything. I was looking forward to participating in the Friday Follow blog hop but now that Friday is here I don't really have a post! I've been feeling ill the last few days and my head is never on right when I am sick. Wait, it's never really on right. But shhh!!
So I thought I would do a Random Facts About Me post. Bear with me, I have to think now. My monkeys raided my bed last night so mommy didn't sleep well! I ended up on the couch for some peace, but only a few moments of peace before Draven realized mommy wasn't next to him any longer!

Fact Number 1:
I am deathly afraid of street grates! I will not walk over them, and I freak out when Todd or the monkeys walk near them! Maybe Stephen King caused this fear with IT, who knows!

Fact Number 2: 
I hate diamonds and gold!! Yes, really really!!! I think they are over advertised and make women look shallow because they NEED them in order to be proven love! Every ad I've seen makes it seem like a man just doesn't love his woman unless he's spending thousands on a little rock. I've never owned a diamond and my man loves me plenty!


Fact Number 3: 
I was the first person in my entire family to graduate high school and go to college!!! Yay me!!! And now I even own my own company.


Fact Number 4: 
This one has caused my hubby to mock me frequently. I hate overcooked onions and peppers because of the way they crunch in my mouth! They have a different type of feel and I just cannot stand it!


Fact Number 5:
My favorite job that I have ever had (besides being a designer) was working construction in Jacksonville, FL. It was FUN and I learned a lot of carpentry that I use now around the house.


Fact Number 6:
I'm addicted to coffee.

Fact Number 7:
I LOVE to garden. Fruits, flowers, veggies! I find it relaxing and very rewarding.


Fact Number 8:
I'm a sucker for kids selling stuff! I'll buy something every time. When I was a Brownie, I heard NO a lot when selling cookies, so I won't tell kids 'no' now!


Fact Number 9:
Patience is not something I was born with.


Fact Number 10:
I have small panic attacks every time I see a vehicle approaching me on the highway. I always have this fear that THIS vehicle is going to be the one that loses control and smashes into me.




So now you know some random and completely irrelevant facts about me!
