The Randomness of Lu: 15 facts

My friend Megan over at Kitschy Suburbia tagged me for a fun little fact session! The rules: share 15 facts and then tag 5 other bloggers. Easy enough. :)

1. I have never broken a bone. Honestly. And I've only ever had 5 stitches, thanks to a baby born with his hands over his head. Blech. Sorry, that's gross even to me...

2. Aqua is my current favorite color. Seriously, I want to plaster it everywhere because I love it so much. I'm currently crushing on these lovelies from Simple Serendipity (my newest etsy fave):

3. I am terrified of my garbage disposal. I will only run it when I have to, and I NEVER put my hand down that side of the sink, even when the disposal isn't running.

4. I was in college before I realized that you don't have to save the twist ties from bread bags -- you can BUY them at the store!


5. I can't cook scrambled eggs or that coconut frosting for German chocolate cake. The scrambled eggs end up burned and the frosting ends up as scrambled eggs. **To be truthful... I am learning how to cook scrambled eggs. I have managed to make edible scramblish eggs twice now.

6. I have never gotten a grade other than an A in any school course. But I did FAIL my swimming lessons as a kid.

7. I use vinegar for pretty much everything. You know the dad from My Big Fat Greek Wedding? His Windex is my vinegar. Laundry, dishes, household cleaning... everything except drinking it. :)

8. I am a font junkie -- over 700 fonts installed on my computer. And more every day. Yesterday I downloaded about 15. The Mr was concerned until I told him they were all free!
9. Pretty much anything I know how to do domestically (cooking, cleaning, sewing, etc), I learned from my mom or taught myself. Mostly learned from my mom... So I don't know a lot of the fancy words for things... I just do them. And every once in a while, I do them right. :)

10. I have been reading The Screwtape Letters by CS Lewis for almost a year now. I love the book but for some reason I just can't read it quickly like I read other books.

11. Yo hablo espanol... I took Spanish classes for 8 years from middle school through college. Not that I've retained much of the language since then. :(

12. I love getting new socks. Even if they are just plain white. Love love love.

13. My feet are always cold. Even in the summer. Even when I am wearing new socks. :)

14. One of my favorite movies of all time is Remember the Titans. You just can't beat Denzel. 

15. I can trace my family genealogy back to Adam. Or pretty close, at least to Noah, I think. Or some waaaay-back-when king who was descended from them. Thanks to many dedicated family researchers!


And now I tag some new(ish) friends who I want to learn more about:

• Amy and her Assorted Adventures
• Amy at Increasingly Domestic
• Andi the Jane of all Crafts 
• Nichelle at Vintage WannaBee
• Brittany of mostly probably because I know her 15 facts will make me laugh ;)
