Five random things...you may not have known about me [updated]

1. I don't eat any fruit whatsoever.* None. Zip. Zilch. Nada. Please don't ask me why...I've been this way since I was a baby. Most of the time people say, "Have you tried ____?" If I did, I didn't like it...if I haven't, I still wouldn't like it. Apparently, I am missing the fruit gene.

2. I once got stuck to a toilet seat. Literally stuck. Its a great story. I shall blog about it sometime. But just know, it is indeed possible to be stuck to the toilet...and survive.

3. I like to chop wood. People think its weird and not very girly of me. That's okay. I don't have to be girly all the time. Chopping wood is fun. You should try it.

4. I want to go to Africa. Real bad. My dream is to go there someday. I am not sure why I have such a passionate desire to. But something gets stirred in my heart when I think of Africa. I recently read the book Left to Tell about a girl who survived the Rwandan Holocaust. Talk about an incredible person with awe-inspiring faith. I would highly recommend reading it.

5. After getting home from the grocery store, I must make one trip into the house. ONE trip. So I have no choice but to load up all the bags at once...stacking them up my arms so that I totally loose circulation and by the time I get inside, my arms are purple. Its almost impressive the amount I can carry at once. This is dumb, I know...but I hate making more than one trip. Loosing the functionality of my arms for an hour after unloading is worth it to me.

[*Update...I brought a chicken sausage in from home and a pack of veggies to eat for lunch. I went to get my most delicious, just-grilled-this-morning sausage and alas, it--and my container--was no where to be found. My chicken sausage has run away. So...I had no choice but to go with my back-up plan and run and get a fav combo of mine, protein shake and a grilled cheese. I always order it without the banana--for obvious reasons--and I got to the car, took a big sip and BANANA. I didn't take it back because 1. I'm a pansy at times and 2. I am feeling lazy. So now my wonderful shake has been ruined and I'm trying to convince myself to drink it just so my cubicle neighbors aren't disturbed by my growling stomach....today is NOT going my way...]
