25 Random Things About Me
// February 9th, 2009 // tagged: Life
This is actually from facebook … and has been making the rounds.
RULES: Once you’ve been tagged, you are supposed to write a note with 25 random/interesting 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 “write note” under tabs on your profile page, paste these instructions in the body of the note, type your 25 random things, tag 25 people, then click publish.)
1. I can’t parallel park.
2. When we moved from Washington, D.C. to Nashville – our furniture was stolen by the moving company. (The FBI found most of our furniture in Pennsylvania a few months later… Goodbye air mattresses we had been sleeping on! Needless to say … we don’t trust movers anymore.)
3. I *love* to read … am always reading something… and LOVE the Nashville Library system.
4. I like pizza without tomato sauce.
5. I married a Brit .. who would want me to clarify that further – an English Brit :P I feel lucky to be married to my best friend … and love that we still have fun together after 8 years of marriage :)
6. I’ve spent the night on every Christmas Eve of my entire life at my grandparents house.
7. My undergrad degree is in Biochem.
8. I spent a summer during college in Ecuador doing medical missions … changed my worldview forever.
9. I love brussel sprouts.
10. Laundry is my least favorite chore… I think our clothes multiply in the washer and dryer!
11. I have really vivid dreams / nightmares… and can’t ever watch scary movies.
12. I don’t like voicemail or talking on the phone.
13. We have a siberian husky, MacGyver Jack … he’s solid white with ice-blue eyes. Mac has two vacation homes – my parents and Tracys. (and he’s named after two Richard Dean Anderson characters — MacGyver, obviously, and Jack from Stargate!)
14. My name – Lacy – is my mother’s maiden name. My middle name – Marie – is the same middle name of every woman in my family (maternal side) for generations.
15. I don’t watch any reality television at all.
16. I’ve played piano since I was in 2nd grade…. and now playing is a way to relax. I can’t play by ear … and have always been amazed at people who can!
17. I’d like to be a mom sooner rather than later.
18. My first instinct is to say “yes”. I’ve had to learn how to say no … but I feel like if you are able to do something for someone, do it; we’re all blessed with something we can give back – time, talents, etc.
19. Love PETROS … and used to go to the one in Hamilton Place every time we were in Chattanooga. Now there are only a few Petros open – and none of them convenient.
20. I broke my nose when I was a little girl – I was watching Captain Kangaroo and jumping back and forth over my brothers legs. It ended badly on the edge of a table …
21. I played piccolo in my high school marching band … best instrument ever for marching band ;) Now I wonder how I ever memorized a whole marching band show …
22. Love the movie Pride and Prejudice (Not the recent remake – the real one.) There is only one Mr. Darcy … Colin Firth.
23. Love Ghengis Grill … the art of the perfect bowl.
24. I’m inexplicably drawn to introverted people.
25. I love arranging flowers… especially with my flower buddy Jill :)
