Tag, I'm it

I got tagged! And I'll admit like Alicia M, I've always secretly wanted to be tagged. :) So here are 10 random things about myself.

1. I slept with a stuffed animal named Buttcatt until I got married. Wait. That was a lie. I slept with him after I got married too. Just not when Jonathan was at home.

2. I prefer to not take the first item off a shelf at the store, instead I will take the one behind it. Especially if the product comes in a box.

3. I love being outdoors. It makes me feel really close to God. So when it's nice out I will sit for hours outside on the porch, or just put up all the windows and enjoy the fresh air.

4. I've always wanted to be a spy. Windham. Sarah Windham. Sounds good, doesn't?

5. I don't like bananas if they have any brown spots on them. I realize that the peel can be brown and it doesn't mean the banana itself is, but still, I have to force myself to eat one once the peel is brown.

6. I've been proposed to twice. Both times while in Europe. The second time was with Jonathan. The first, just as memorable, was from a drunk old Hungarian on New Year's Eve in Rome. I was at a cafe with my family when this old man came in and started calling me "princippessa" and proposed. It was really funny.

7. I secretly day dream about being in the Southern Living magazine. Either because of my garden, home or cooking. Especially my cooking.

8. I learned to enjoy hot tea with sugar and milk when I was younger because I was fully convinced I would one day meet the British Royals and would need to take milk with my tea at Afternoon Tea.

9. I took fencing for an entire year in college. I even competed some. It was a lot of fun, and I wish I could still do it. Hmmm, maybe I should look into a local fence club here in town.

10. I slept in pillowcases when I was a little girl. My family has some ridiculous pictures of me sleep on the bed in a pillowcase. I don't even know why I did it. Maybe it was a make-shift sleeping bag??

Now I'm gonna tag Suzanne F, Emily, Lincoln, Kara and Shelly (you can do it on Facebook!).
