58 uninteresting things about me
I stole this from Tiaras & Tantrums - I'm a sucker for an easy post.
The phone rings. Who will it to be?
My mom or my husband.
When shopping at the grocery store, do you return your cart?
Usually I park by the cart-return thing so I can put Squirt in the car and then take Moose with me to put the cart away. Then put him in the cart. When we lived in Virginia it didn't seem like ANYONE put their carts away so it's kind of a pet peeve of mine (and Big A's) when people don't. But I have not put mine up before; if I'm far away from a cart thing with both kids, I don't know the rules of leaving them in the car alone for the 2.5 seconds it'd take to put it away and I'm afraid someone will somehow take them, even with a locked car.
In a social setting, are you more of a talker or a listener?
I used to be a listener but now I hardly see adults so I kind of dominate the conversation now. I don't mean to but it's just like vomit, I just can't help it. ADULT CONVERSATION!
Do you take compliments well?
No, but it's a continual thing I'm working on.
Do you play Sudoku?
No, I'm not a math person.
If abandoned alone in the wilderness, would you survive?
Depends on what kind of wilderness. Maybe in a forest but probably not in a jungle.
Did you ever go to camp as a kid?
I went to FCA camp in Estes Park in junior high. They accidentally had me registered as a boy (yeah, it's great having Randi as your first name) despite my mom circling GIRL (in pink) on the registration form. They fixed it and I was with a bunch of high school girls for the week. I had a blast.
What was your favorite game as a kid?
I remember making up menus at my grandparents' house with my older sister. We would put red and white wine on the menu even. Then we would pretend to serve one another.
I also remember playing mail with my cousin. They had this cool old potato storage thing that we would use as a mail box and "mail" one another letters.
If a sexy person was pursuing you, but you knew he/she was married, would you?
Absolutely not! I would probably tell their wife too.
Could you date someone with different religious beliefs than you?
Depends. If for some awful reason I ended up dating again, I would have to date a Christian. But there are so many different denominations, I would just have to be sure that they were saved.
Do you like to pursue or be pursued?
I've never been a pursuer. And I never had anyone pursue me until my husband. I prefer that.
Use three words to describe yourself?
loving, motherly, impatient (I'm working on this last one)
Do any songs make you cry?
Yes, my father/daughter dance song. "You're Gonna Miss This" and other songs about kids who grow up really fast.
Are you continuing your education?
No, but maybe someday I'll finish my teaching degree. Or get my Master's. We'll see.
Do you know how to shoot a gun?
I've shot a gun before but I don't know if I actually could again. I only did it once.
Have you ever taken pictures in a photo booth?
No, but I've always wanted to. I actually thought about it the other day in the mall with the kids.
How often do you read books?
Everyday to myself and everyday to my kids.
Do you think more about the past, present or future?
