Betcha Didn't Know......

We're still discovering each other.

I've been married to Sweetie for nearly 19 years.  I think that's kind of a long time. 

(That might have come out wrong.....)

And yet, after all those years, there are still things that I'm learning about my cute husband.

For example, he loves cream cheese frosting on cinnamon rolls.

I just found that out about three weeks ago.

I've made cinnamon rolls once a month for about six years now.  Usually with my typical butter-vanilla-powdered sugar-milk frosting.  On occasion, I would whip up a cream cheese frosting instead.  Sweetie just told me his preference after all this time.

Huh.  Never saw that one.

I guess he wants to keep me on my toes.

So, with that in mind, I thought I'd share with my friends and family five things you probably didn't know about me.

My favorite treat beverage

(1)  I don't like to drink soda out of a can.  It's too fizzy.  I prefer it in a glass with a little bit of ice.

Rascal Flatts makes harmonizing easy!

(2)  I love to sing along to the music in my car.  Or my house.  Wherever.  But I sing harmony whenever I can.  I've never felt like my voice was a solo/melody voice.  I'm an alto.  Alto to me equals backup singer.

(3)  I don't keep dirty dishes in my sink.  I hardly ever put dishes in my sink.  I also NEVER leave dishes in my sink overnight, or clutter on my kitchen counters.  I hate coming downstairs to a messy kitchen first thing in the morning.  It makes me feel like I'm already behind in my chores for the day.  So where do I put the dishes as they are dirtied?  Straight in the dishwasher.

Ick.

(4)  I am always willing to try new foods and for the most part, I like everything I try.  Except okra.  I got some okra last year and made it into a gumbo.  All I can say is ick.  Ick.  ICK.  The texture was slimy (which I can deal with), and the taste was terrible (which I can't deal with).  I've never eaten again.  Probably never will.  Ick.

The app I'm using to run farther.

(5)  I'm training to run a 5K.  I hate running.  I hate being out of breath which means I hate running.  But I know it's good for me, it helps my workout go faster, and I feel like my current run needs to be expanded.  I need to push myself.  I've been doing this for six weeks now and it's getting harder.  And sweatier.  I'm going to need to find a good dry shampoo on my running days because I don't have time to wash my hair every day.  (Alicia....recommendations?)  I don't know what 5K I will participate in or how I'll keep that distance going after I'm done training, but I do know I kind of like bragging to Sweetie how far I run.

So, that's some of me.  I'm sure there's more, but I'm still figuring me out, too.  It's fun to come to new realizations of myself...things I've done all along and just now recognize.  My thirties (uh....I mean my twenties.....) have been filled with lots of self-discoveries.  I hope the best is yet to come.
