Simple Living Gal Exposed, Part 2
November 8, 2008|Comments (24)
Just when you thought you were safe…. Becca of Swamp Yankees From Outer Space roped me into revealing seven wacky facts about myself that you never wanted to know and that have absolutely nothing to do with farming or simple living. Okay, maybe you secretly wanted to know that stuff and are currently doing somersaults in the light from your glowing computer screen. If so, I salute you and am only slightly weirded out.
Factoid #1
I hold the title of Queen of Minutiae. I know more useless information than anyone I know — except my good buddy, Landon, who is King of Minutiae. Be warned…. do not attempt a game of trivia with the likes of the royal family of Minutiae.
Factoid #2
My vehicle can often be spotted on the side of the road with its driver (yours truly) trotting up some embankment risking life and limb (Did I mention that Georgia is the predacious bug capital of the Western world? Chiggers, ticks, etc.) to photograph a tree, leaf, cloud, blade of grass, or something.
Factoid #3
I love lucky bamboo. There are probably ten pots of it throughout our house. Every time I look at it, I start belting out my very best version of Madame Butterfly. Be glad that you are not one of my long-suffering neighbors.
Factoid #4
I’m allergic to aloe vera. That’s right: just the most widely used herbal medicine of all time. It’s in everything! Bathroom tissue, sun screen, lotion, cosmetics, shampoo, conditioner, vitamin supplements, and facial tissues.
Factoid #5
Hats give me thrills. I love wearing them and secretly yearn for the days when women wore hats every time they left the house or went to church. So glamorous!
Factoid #6
My latest guilty pleasure read is entitled O Come Ye Back to Ireland, about a beautiful couple who moved to western Ireland and lived simply in a remote village. It was so lovely that I ended up in tears.
Factoid #7
Josh can testify to the fact that I am the most forgetful and absent-minded twenty-four year old ever. It is not uncommon to hear me say things like, “Where did I park the vacuum?” or “How did the grocery list end up in the fridge?” I lose things constantly. Constantly. In fact, I just lost my train of thought. Please send help.
How about you? Any random factoids to share about yourself or your family members? I’m all ears.
