10 Things About Emily

I know people have done similar posts on Facebook with random things about themselves, so I thought I'd post one here so you can get to know me better.

In no particular order of importance...

1. I hate eating leftovers
- I don't know why it bothers me so much but I really have never been a fan. This drives my mother nuts, as she is the queen of leftovers. I even tease her that we had leftovers so much growing up, I don't remember the original meal they came from!

2. I love sleep
- This is one of my favorite things to do on days off or on weekends. Now don't get me wrong, I am not lazy, I just enjoy relaxing - especially in my new king size bed!!!

3. I love vacuuming
- Ok, I know it sounds weird, but this is my FAVORITE household chore. I don't know what it is about it that's so relaxing to me but it's the one thing I look forward to doing when cleaning the house. I think it's because it really makes the house look "finished" and clean when I am done with it.

4. I am obsessed with Iced Tea  
- Ever since I was about 22 I have fallen in love with UNSWEETENED iced tea. My favorite kind is from McDonald's and I was in 7th heaven when they started selling it for only $1.00. In college I went thru Mc D's so much my roommate bought me an iced tea brewer for my birthday!

5. I have a huge fear of birds and bats
- I probably get this trait from my mother because she also has the same fear. It creeps me out to have a bird fly near me with its flapping wings. I even refuse to take our dog outside at night in the summer because of the swooping bats in our backyard. Give me spiders or snakes any day....

6. I can't stand the sound of teeth scraping on silverware
- OK this is a big "nails on chalkboard" sensation for me. My husband does this all the time (partially because he knows it bugs me, I think) and it literally makes me shiver! I don't get how people can let the utensil touch their teeth without wanting to gag. Yuck.

7. I'm a crier
- Even the most mundane things that other people probably don't even take notice of make me cry. I am a mess during emotional moments in life and can't even imagine how much worse it will be when I have kids.

8. I think I may have a mild moderate form of O.C.D.
- For those of you that know me, you know how I get with symmetry and things in order and lined up. My roommates in college used to think it was funny to tilt pictures on the wall a tad or move candles or other decor out of the order I had set it in to see how long it took me to move it back. Yeah, not gonna lie, couldn't last a minute. 

9. I don't like being home overnight by myself
- Call me paranoid, but this freaks me out! Luckily my husband doesn't have a job where he has to be away a lot but the few times he has, I've had my mom or sister in law come stay here. Oh jeez, when am I gonna grow up??

10. Laundry is my LEAST favorite chore
- I can't believe how much laundry 2 people can accumulate. I do not even want to think about how bad it will be when we have kids....ugh. I think the part I hate the most is folding and putting it away. Our next house (which I want to build) will have laundry on the upper level near the bedrooms for sure!
