6 Rando's About Me

Sam has tagged, nay, dared me to post 6 rando facts about me. I thought long and hard and had to narrow down my quirks for a short list of 6 but I think I finally came up with some good random things about me, Holly Leanne Watts-Grant...

And now, in no particular order:
1. When I was in my late teens, early twenties, I moved from Abilene to Ft. Worth and told my parents I would never move back. I also told them I would never marry a guy from ACU and I would NEVER marry a Gamma Sig (my brother and brother in law are both Gamma Sigs and I knew many of these guys and thought they were all so dull and conservative). As you have read in previous posts I loved long haired hippies who worked in vintage clothing stores and who said things like, "I attended 15 different high schools in the Dallas-Ft. Worth area because I was kicked out of all of them for smoking pot, fighting and just generally being a douche bag so when I say I graduated from Dallas Christian I mean I really only graduated from there and attended maybe 2 weeks total." Ahhh, the memories...Ok, where was I? So, I made all of these statements about how I "would never" and now I am married to an ACU graduate who was also a Gamma Sig. Not just a Gamma Sig, but an OFFICER in Gamma Sig (BTW, I was wrong about Gamma Sigs, they are actually good guys). Oh yeah, and Ben just accepted an offer to join a law firm in Abilene after he graduates so we will be moving back to Abilene this summer and I am actually excited about this fact! I guess the random fact is that I ate my words in a major way...



2. I can't swallow a pill if my life depended on it. Now, I am very healthy and don't take any pills except for Zyrtec (Taylor, I swear I take it every night regardless of what Ben tells you) so I don't really run into this problem but I started taking vitamns and they are these HUGE horse pills! I literally went through TWO water bottles trying to swallow ONE pill and never actually got it swallowed. Ben thinks I am crazy as he sits next to me and swallows 10 pills at once with no problem. I have always said I have a weird throat and I think this is just proof of my claim. Random fact #2: I can't swallow pills due to my weird throat.



3. I freakin love Quizno's Sonoma Turkey Sammies. I would eat them every day if I weren't so embarrassed about the number of times I frequent the place anyway. I have actually tried to go incognito by wearing my sunglasses while ordering. It didn't work, they knew it was me. One time, I ordered two Sonoma Turkey Sammies with a side of a Sonoma Turkey Sammie.


4. Ben and I do not have human children so one would think I got a full nights rest and woke up refreshed and excited to start the day dedicated to my wants and needs only. The truth is that I have not gotten a full nights rest in, ooohh, 3 years I would say. Eleanor is 3 years old if you are wondering where I got that number. Eleanor can and does hold her bladder for up to 7 or 8 hours sometimes due to Ben and myself being away from the house yet, when it's the middle of the night, she HAS to go to the bathroom after just going 4 hours earlier. Also, she will only go outside if we turn the porch light on which, of course, wakes me up even more. Eleanor sleeps next to me in bed so I am the one who feels when she gets up. I will hand her to Ben sometimes to take but most of the time I figure I am already awake so I might as well take her. Now we have the new kitty Penelope who wakes me up every night at about 4:00 a.m. by trying to nurse on my face. Random fact #3: My animal childen are out of control and I hope this isn't a testament to my future human children.



5.When I was kid, I loved old sit-coms. Actually, I still do. One of my favorite shows was Dennis the Menace. I thought the mother was so pretty and I noticed one day in the credits that her real name was Gloria. I then loved this name and said I was going to name my children Gloria, Madonna and Maxine. Not sure where Maxine came from but I loved it all the same. Ladies and Gentlemen, this is one of the many reasons children should not be having children. If I had gotten pregnant and had a kid when I was 8 years old, the poor kid would of had to live with the name Madonna Watts, Gloria Watts or Maxine Watts. Wow... (I'll go ahead and apologize now to any Gloria's, Madonna's or Maxine's who may have been offended by this random fact).


6. And finally my 6th rando fact. I love these cookies called Murray's. They are sugar free and are made with Splenda. I refer to these cookie as my golden nugget because they were such a good find since I stay away from sugar as much as possible. Ben thinks they are nasty but I told him he just doesn't know how to eat them. It takes me approximately 8 bites to finish a cookie the size of an Oreo and I'm telling you, the taste is different then if you were to put the whole cookie in your mouth. The cookie is like an Oreo in that it has the two crackers with the cream in the middle. First, I bite the bottom cracker on the top and then on the side. I then bite the top cracker to match the bottom (4 bites). I then bite the other side on the bottom and then the side on the top (2 bites). And finally, I take one bite of the whole cookie and then finish off the cookie with one final bite (8 bites total). I also do the same thing with Fat Free Cheez-Its. Try it, I swear it changes the taste of the food and makes an already good snack that much better!



Ok, do I dare tag anyone? Will you hate me for tagging you? Sorry, got to do it and you better post about this topic. I personally like being tagged because I don't have to think of a topic so get over it if you don't like being tagged for this stuff: Taylor, Heather W. and Meredith, do it or die.
