Apparently these lists are a hit, so I’ll dig up some more random facts about myself. Let’s see…<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. I’ve only done actual karaoke twice, two songs at a karaoke Christmas party for work. I started with “The Devil Went Down to Georgia” by The Charlie Daniels Band and finished with “Sweet Child O’ Mine” by Guns and Roses. My voice isn’t exactly a rock and roll voice, but it was fun anyway. For me, at least. <\/li>\n
  2. When I talk in a female voice (don’t ask), I inexplicably pick up a bad Southern belle accent. <\/li>\n
  3. When it comes to household chores, vacuuming is probably my favorite. I want one of those fancy Dyson vacuums. Dishes and laundry are OK. Mopping and sweeping are annoying. Yard work and dusting are probably my least favorite. <\/li>\n
  4. I’ve worked in the same department doing the same thing for nearly 6 years. A few of the details have changed, such as new airports and policies and my added role as a trainer, but otherwise it’s the same. I’ve probably planned at least 60,000 flights during that time.<\/li>\n
  5. I prefer Reddi-Wip over whipped cream. It’s low-calorie, portable, convenient, and delicious.<\/li>\n
  6. I once played tennis on a court next to Jon Bon Jovi. He was in town for a concert and staying at the Four Seasons. My doubles partner was a member at the Four Seasons sports club. When Bon Jovi decided to take a tennis lesson on one of the indoor courts, we snagged the court next to him and played for a while until he was finished. Then we ambushed him and got an autograph. I think he was slightly annoyed but chose to be nice anyway.<\/li>\n
  7. My first car was a gold and white 1971 Chevelle Malibu. It was my mom’s first car, and she kept it all those years. I drove it for a couple of years and then handed the keys to my sister. After she got a new car, my mom sold the Chevelle to her brother, who tricked it out and still owns it today.<\/li>\n
  8. I own a grand total of two CDs that contain country music: Kenny Rogers’ greatest hits and a compilation album that includes the aforementioned “The Devil Went Down to Georgia”.<\/li>\n
  9. For breakfast almost every day, I eat a bowl of cereal and drink orange juice and coffee. The cereal is a mix of generic Frosted Mini-Wheats and Kashi. Brenden calls the Frosted Mini-Wheats “big cereal” and often wants a few pieces.<\/li>\n
  10. For my overnight meal at work, unless I have leftovers to eat, I generally bring a bagel, banana, and cup of yogurt. My evening meal with the family is the only one that varies consistently. Strange as it might sound, I’m OK with that. It saves me from having to think hard about what to eat for breakfast and dinner.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
