25 things you don't know about me

my husband and i were hanging out before the superbowl while i was cooking ribs. as is often the case, i like to keep busy so i thought it would be fun to play a game while we waited. long being a fan of the US Weekly piece they call "25 things you don't know about me" i thought this sounded just perfect! although the game of "25 things..." quickly turned into a "let's lay in the hammock thing", the moments we did actually play intrigued me. it's pretty fascinating when you dig deep within yourself to share something that might not ever come about in conversation because a) you don't do them anymore, b) who cares?, c) people will most likely think you're a fruit loop for just throwing out random thoughts about yourself.
