Random Facts About Me

I'm up...can't sleep, so I decided to blog.  Every now and then I get in the mood to share random facts and tonight...er...this morning is your lucky day.

Random Fact #1 - I am a hopeless romantic.  I believe is surprises, flowers, romantic getaways, sappiness, love songs and love stories.  I believe in true love.  I believe that there is that one person out there that will forever make your heart skip a beat...I believe in love.  I love those cheesy, sappy, ROMANTIC YouTube videos of marriage proposals...not too long ago I spent a couple of hours just watching those...and crying my eyes out.  I am a sap.  I am a lover of love.  I need to be rehabilitated....no scratch that...I love that I am a romantic and lover of all things romancy (not a word, but it works for me today).

Random Fact #2 - I am SUPER tenderhearted...I cry when watching kid movies (Toy Story 3 gets me every time), commercials, if I see anyone else cry...that's it I'm done.  If I see a man cry....Lord help me it is over!  I just finished watching an older movie (Life as a House)....I cried the last 20 minutes...the snotty cry, the can't catch your breath cry (it may be because I can relate to the Dad issues)....I don't know...maybe because there were men crying. My point is that I am sometimes too emphatic for my own good...if you could see me now the puffiness and redness of my eyes would scare you.  I've been in a super tender mood since yesterday - we are faithful Texas Rangers fans and if we are going to a game we are watching it on TV or listening to it on the radio - and the tragic accident yesterday took my breath away.  I think it is because that is something that I see happening to Rick and Hunter - the last time we were at a game Rick took Hunter and Jaylin down to try to catch balls at BP....it could happen to anyone.  I've always believed in cherishing every moment because tomorrow isn't promised, but for some reason this has stayed with me.  It had an effect on Rick as well.  Last night or yesterday morning (in the early morning hours) while on patrol Rick sent a really sweet and heartfelt text.  Life is short.  Tell those around you that you love them....that they are important to you.  It makes me want to cry just thinking about it.  Like I said...I'm tender hearted.

Random Fact #3 - I Love candy....love it!  Jolly ranchers, starburst, lemonheads, strawberry discs, hot tamales, bubble gum, banana taffy, peppermint taffy....I eat chocolate occasionally, but the way to my heart is through the sweet and sour candies.  I've had to cut back lately...trying to get into super shape by 8.10.11 - have to put the candy away....I think I'll break into the Mike and Ike (lemonade blends) that I found today at the grocery store....I'll only have a few! 

Until next time....I'm off to savor my candy.
