Random Friday Facts

1, My friend Heather and I became obsessed with pickles in high school.  I can't remember why, but we bought anything (and everything) pickle related.  Candy, gum, jewelry... I still have my pickle necklace!

2. I don't drink colas or dark sodas.  I had a few years with some stomach issues and they are tied in my head to Diet Coke & Diet Pepper, even though I know they weren't the cause.

3. I wanted to be a vet until I realized I couldn't handle the pressure of surgery (or animals dying).

4. I love the Metro, despite its many faults.

5. I hate paying for shipping when I shop online.

6. I love the movie Babe.  It always makes me cry and cheers me up at the same time.

7. I've always been intrigued by the idea of shaving my head.  I knew a girl who did and her hair came back curly.  I wonder if that would have happened to me.

8. I love reading memoirs.  I wish my life were more exciting so I could write one.

9. I am VERY excited that football season is here.  Best time of the year.

10. I can't handle spicy food.  I wish that I could.  Any tips for improving my tolerance?

My best friend and I were the same way with cows! It was weird, but thinking back on it makes me smile.

I just spent an extra $100 dollars (for free shipping) at nordstrom because I didn't want to pay the 8 dollars in shipping.

I like the metro too, even though it does suck sometimes. To me it's still better than driving.

Pickles... interesting! I'm the same way with spicy food. I hear that once you're "into" spicy food then things taste bland without it. Be grateful that you don't need that extra spice!

Hear you on the spicy factor - i recently started adding a touch of cayanne pepper to chicken (i read about its health benefits) but am also hoping this will increase my buds for hot foods. Luck

Yay, pickles! Is there a pickle-flavored energy gel on the market yet? ;) I also love the movie Babe, have the same vet interest/disinterest trajectory, and am desperately trying to build my spice tolerance. No, don't shave your head, Allison! :)
