25 Random Things

Rules: Once you've been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random things, facts, habits, or goals about you. At the end, choose 25 people to be tagged. You have to tag the person who tagged you. If I tagged you, it's because I want to know more about you.

(To do this, go to “notes” under tabs on your profile page, paste these instructions in the body of the note, type your 25 random things, tag 25 people (in the right hand corner of the app) then click publish.)

1. I bought my first house in August with my boyfriend of 2 years, Rick
2. I got a puppy in October and she's the coolest dog ever!
3. I have lost a total of 60 pounds and still have more to go.
4. I'm at a plateau with my weight loss at the moment.
5. Our kitchen drain freezes when it's really cold out and the faucet is dripping.
6. To stop the faucet from dripping you have to turn the handle just right....not easy to do when you're in a hurry in the morning.
7. We had to use a space heater, a hose with hot water, a fan, remove boards in the basement, and add new insulation to the pipe area in the wall to get the drain to de-thaw.
8. The previous owners shoved old clothes in the joist between the foundation and the house for insulation.
9. I'm deathly afraid of centipedes. They have too many legs and move too fast for me.
10. We have problems with centipedes at the office. Last year we kept a count of them...there were 45, most of which came from my office.
11. I drive a minivan and actually like it
12. I am working really hard on changing my eating habits, it's not going that well.
13. I am afraid of losing my job.
14. I work for a small company (4 employees)
15. I live in South Milwaukee
16. I got married in 2001.
17. I left my ex-husband in August of2006 after he chased me around the house with a knife trying to destroy my laptop because he thought I was cheating on him.
18. I don't believe in cheating on a person. If you want to get involved with someone else end the current relationship and don't cause unnecessary pain.
19. My divorce didn't go through until November 2007 b/c my ex started it then waited until the last day to try to file the rest of the paperwork, which he didn't have filled out correctly and the courts wouldn't let me file since he was the one who started the process. I ended up finishing it after the clerk saw his attempt of stretching the process out.
20. I'm getting increasingly anal as I get older. At one time I didn't care which way the toilet paper went on the dispenser...now I have to change it if it's not a "waterfall"
21. My favorite soda is Coke
22. My weakness is chocolate
23. I enjoy working with databases and would like to get Microsoft Certified in SQL Server.
24. I sometimes wonder if I chose the wrong career.....I think I should have worked with animals, something I've wanted to do when I was little.
25. I still love ducks!


I'm not tagging anyone, but I welcome anyone who would like to list 25 random things!
