Meme Madness

I've been tagged by Candsmom for 20 things about me, as well as by Jaclyn for 5 weird facts about me. So here is a list of 25 things you never wanted to know about me.

We'll start with 20 random thoughts

1. I used to quilt, but I was always dropping straight pins and The Greatest was always stepping on them. I quit quilting and learned to knit after Pork Chop was born. I was terrified she would crawl on a pin. I figured I could keep track of two knitting needles.
2. I overestimated my ability to keep track of things.
3. I didn't become obsessed with knitting until after Meaty was born.
4. I knit with the yarn in my right hand (American? English? I can never keep the proper name straight)
5. I have tried with the yarn in my left hand and it's faster and sometimes I think about making the switch. I'm just too lazy to take the time to practice so my stitches would be really nice like they are when I knit with the yarn in my right hand.
6. I like to have three projects ready to seam or have ends woven in before I'll do the finishing work.
7. I just hate it so much I have to have a lot of it to do to make it seem worth my while.
8. I don't mind knitting with acrylic *gasp**shock**horror*. I'm branching out into natural fibers, and starting to prefer them, but I still think acrylic has it's uses. Not to mention it's so budget friendly.
9. I used to wear only black and dark nail polish. The Greatest still teases me when I buy something pastel, especially if its pink.
10. Somedays I'm surprised by how little black is in my closet.
11. I was a vocal music major in college. I used to sing everywhere all day long.
12. Now I rarely sing and I don't know why.
13. I make all the beds in the house almost every day. Sometimes I give myself Sundays off.
14. When I was pregnant with Bird I used to wash the windows every day. Even Sundays.
15. I was so glad to give birth because that meant I could stop washing the windows.
16. I believe epidurals are the greatest invention of mankind.
17. Sometimes I feel guilty for having the epidurals and not being strong enough to tough it out.
18. Then I remember there's no cash prize for enduring all that pain and I feel alright with my decision.
19. I still feel a little bit in awe of someone when I hear they didn't get the epidural.
20. I hate feet. I think they're very ugly. Yet I always keep my toenails polished and pretty.

And Here are 5 wierd facts about me

1. I met The Greatest at a gas station. I had just broken up with my college sweetheart, the guy all my friends thought, and my parents feared, I would marry. And by just I mean that very morning. I fell in love with The Greatest on sight and would have run away with him that night if he had only asked. Instead we waited a prudent four months before getting married.
2. I used to be a drug addict. You name it I've probably tried it. I would take anything but my very favorite in the whole wide world was cocaine. I quit when The Greatest asked me to. That was eight years ago and I very rarely look back. Although sometimes I think motherhood would be easier if I were still doing drugs.
3. I had a full scholarship to college. That surprised most of the people I knew in high school. As one bitch, I mean girl, I knew so eloquently put it "Like I didn't think you were like stupid Goddess, but I like didn't know you were like that smart."
4. It doesn't matter how full I get, there is always room for ice cream. I could be Thanksgiving dinner-gonna-puke-if-I- eat-another-bite full and I could still eat ice cream.
5. Before there was caller id I could almost always guess who was calling when the phone rang. I called it psychic ability, but it was more a subconscious awareness of calling patterns. My Mom usually called around 5 every three or four days, and my roommate's Mom usually called around seven, and my boyfriend usually called around 3 a.m. No psychic ability, just calling patterns. I always wanted to be psychic.
