One of my favorite bloggers is Lauren from Forward is a Pace. She blogs about running, training and living life to the fullest while kicking ulcerative colitis in the booty! If you haven’t “met” Lauren, you should!!! Check out her blog by clicking here, I guarantee that you will love it!
Recently Lauren tagged me in the Blissful Blogger Award, which means I get to share 7 random facts about myself with you! So ready or not, here they come!
1. I have a gum chewing addiction! I chew gum ALL. THE. TIME. Even when I run. I prefer to have two packs in my purse at all times. A girl has to have options, right? I also only chew a half of a piece at a time. For one, it makes the packs last longer and two, who really needs a full piece?
2. I LOVE hot weather! The other day it was 96 degrees and very humid. To those of you who complain about hot weather, I say bring it on! Especially if I can be in the backyard with Brennen splashing in the kiddie pool.
3. I have the most sensitive skin out of anyone I have ever met. Many fabrics make my skin itch and I can’t stand tags on clothes. Even more strange, is that if a loose hair is touching my skin, I can feel it and I can’t rest untill I get it off of me. My hubby still thinks it is the craziest thing, even after over ten years together.
I am getting itchy just looking at this tag!
4. Would you believe that I hardly ever watch TV? Or I should say I hardly ever watch TV for ME. If the TV is on it is because the hubby is watching sports or Brennen is watching one of his shows. On the off-chance that I am watching TV for myself, I would be watching The Real World, The Real World / Road Rules Challenge or The Amazing Race.
5. My favorite guilty pleasure is ice cream. When I was pregnant I ate it all the time! Perhaps that is the reason I gained 40 pounds during my pregnancy! Now I try to eat it in moderation, which is why I love these!
All the taste of the original drumstick but less calories!
6. You would probably think that the first sport I ever loved was running, but you would be wrong. It was volleyball! When I was in middle school and high school, I lived for volleyball. I haven’t played it in a few years but the passion is still there when I think about it.
Yep, I was a lady Hornet!
7. I have a phobia of going under water. It makes me feel claustrophobic so I avoid it at all costs. And in all honesty, I really don’t even like water on my face. But I love being in or near water with my head safely above the surface.
You won't catch me doing this!
So there you have it! 7 random factoids about me! Now I get to tag 7 bloggers so I can hear 7 random facts about them! And since they are all great bloggers, you should check out their pages too!

Now it is your turn! I want to know at least 1 random fact about you! 
I can’t stand cotton balls. I’m cringing while I post this. No lie, the thought of it makes my skin crawl.
At least they are easy to avoid, I hope. I used to work with someone who had a styrofoam phobia, including packing peanuts. He couldn’t open any packages that we received for fear there would be some inside.
I am addicted to GUM TOO !!!! In always buy two packs at a time that way i know i will always have a peice of gum. I dont eat the last few peices out of the pack either. I keep them for emergancies. That way when i cant find one of my packs i got a good back up. I only will chew one flavior. Sweet peperment 2.0 <3 <3 <3 Love My GUM!!!!!!!
The more I learn about you the happier I am that you married my cousin! I love sweet min gum by Orbitz! Yum!
I work at a hospital and thank goodness cotton balls are being replaced with gauze. I won’t open any medications or vitamins for fear of the cotton. It has to be in the top 5 stupidest phobias.
I think we all have a silly phobia. I mean come on – I don’t like water on my face.
You do have a point. Lol!
[...] at The Everyday Warrior, Betsy tagged me with a blissful blogger award – so I’ve got to share 7 random facts [...]
I used to chew gum all the time until I got TMJ. Then the doctor said I couldn’t chew it anymore.
I used to chew 10-15 pieces a day depending on how stressful my workday was. I miss gum soooooo much!
Also, I love ice cream more than just about any other food. I’ve had those mini cones before but I end up eating six of them at a time. They are so good!
Btw, fellow campaigner here, still making the rounds and stopping in to say hi.
LOL about the six small cones! It is tempting. But pls tell me that the gum chewing and TMJ were not related. Tks for checking out my blog!
That loose hair thing? I totally get it. And I played volleyball in MS and HS, too!
Thanks for tagging me!
You are the only one I have ever met that understands the loose hair issue! AH!!! It’s not just me! Yay! I am looking forward to reading your 7 facts!
