OK so I started this list a while ago after seeing one on someone else's blog...then never posted it because I couldn't decide if it was egotistical to list so many things about ME. Then I recently saw one on my friend Molly's blog and thought it was so fun (I stole your image...hope you don't mind Molly!)....so I looked at my unfinished list and decided to add to it. But...they're not like boasting things, so I decided it was ok....more just like quirky things. Some are less than flattering!
1. My full name is Kathryn Elizabeth Steuri Cox
2. I love Oreos. Any kind.
3. I love The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants...books, and movies.
4. I miss my dear high school friends a lot.
5. And I miss my college friends too. Everyone moved!
6. I miss college memories in general. Crazy, but fun, times.
7. It's been years since I've gone a day without caffeine. Sad.

16. I love third graders-what a unique and perfect perspective on life!
17. I can't swim.
18. I've never held a tennis racket.
19. Speaking of 'I've nevers..." I've never had a bloody nose.
20. Or a broken bone.

26. I recently like getting my nails done in weird colors.
27. I have never had stitches.
28. I don't know how to sew a button on.
29. Yet I was the Sterling Scholar for Family and Consumer Sciences. Oh the irony.
30. When I was little (maybe 3 or 4) I got chased around Hogle Zoo by an ostrich! It chased me, pecking at my bottom and legs! I was so scared and my fam was laughing too hard to do anything about...it's still the family joke....and I'm still scared of ostriches.
31. I got my belly button pierced right after my 18th birthday, in a trashy place in Hollywood on Spring Break.

33. I love the smell of apple cinnamon.
34. I'm a night owl.
35. And love to sleep in.

49. Or use the wrong their, there, or they're.

51. But I don't know the difference between further and farther. (Mom, I know you do, teach me!)
52. I used to have eyelash extensions.
53. I wish Logan had a Target. But it's probably good it doesn't for my bank account's sake.

55. I think my husband is really funny...
56. I wish I was a runner.
57. When I was little one of my friends was mad at me and called me a lesbian! I didn't even know what it was, but got really upset and told my mom.

59. I like the fun parts of being a grown up...staying up late, living with a super cool boy, having more money than just allowance (not much more...).
60. But hate the boring, hard-to-understand parts of being a grown-up....insurance, taxes, retirement, stocks, etc...
61. I used to drink a bit in college...and am glad I had that time of my life...BUT don't anymore. It's just not for me anymore. I've decided it won't help me get the things I want in my life. I'm not against people who do, I just feel like there are more negatives than positives....
62. I still miss my grandpa and hardly a day goes by that I don't think of him...he's been gone 13 years this Monday....

65. But I do love my job, so it'll all work out.
66. I love butter spray....sounds gross, works well...
67. I love when my husband wakes me up with a hot breakfast...like today, french toast!
68. Snoop Dogg kinda freaks me out....but I LOVE Kyle Korver...
69. I like to plan meals a week at a time and be domestic.
70. I'm really self-conscious of my big nose and big ears.
71. My absolute favorite place to be is the pool. Yes, I can't swim....but I just like to lay (or lie?) by the side....with my ipod, magazine, diet coke...ah.
72. I love my inlaws....and am so glad Bevin and Sara moved back to Logan. I've been able to get to know them better and we've all had a lot of fun....
73. I set 5 alarms every night. And check them a zillion times.
74. My lamp shade in my room has to be straight. I straighten it every night before bed.
75. And my bathroom door has to be half shut. Bugs me when it's all the way open.
76. I wear a camisole every day. I can't stand to wear a shirt without one.
77. My family has weird pets...a pot-bellied pig, flying squirrels....
78. I played school for hours when I was little. I always knew I wanted to be a teacher.
79. I'm still weirded out that I'm old enough to be a teacher....
80. I was an extra in the movie Drive Me Crazy.
81. I went to East High where High School Musical was filmed. My students found out and asked if I know Zac Efron!
82. I once played a prank with my friends...we got 10 HUGE bags of shredded paper from the University (late-night studying for finals has a perk)...and FILLED our friend's room with it. Like not just scattered...FILLED. Cupboards and all. He didn't find out for months who did it.
83. Among the most scared I've ever been was in Texas, when this crazy druggie dude was breaking into our apartment and throwing stuff at our (glass) door in the middle of the night. We pretended like we weren't home and called the police. Sounded lame later, but we were SOOOO scared!
84. I have sung karaoke once...and I CAN NOT sing. I was in a bar on my birthday....enough said. Never again.
85. Speaking of singing....my brothers are both good singers and made all the choirs in jr. high and high school....and LOVE to make fun of me for not making ANY choirs. I'm all for mouthing the words.
86. I won a washer and dryer when I was like 8 in a contest at a furniture store. My mom didn't even know I entered until she got the phone call! Ironically, we were at the furniture store so my mom could buy a new washer...and her dryer broke like a day before I won the contest.
87. I totally believe in ghosts/spirits/etc. My fam has had some interesting experiences since my grandpa passed away.
88. I wish I could wear lipstick. I look like a clown. Not what I'm going for.
89. I want a Honda Pilot or a Honda CRV...love them.
90. I saw the 4th of July fireworks in Washington D.C. a few years ago...it was really cool.
91. Sometimes I wish I was trendy...sometimes I don't care....
92. I wish I was more organized.
93. My fave flower may be hydrangeas....I like tulips too...and daffodils...
93. I love beef jerky and pretty much quit being a vegetarian for it.
94. I like black and white pictures best....they hide everything and look really classy.
95. Every holiday I try to outdo my husband, and it can't happen. He's SO good at planning fun things and getting me exactly what I want.
96. I almost went to school at the University of Kansas...I had a dorm room and all. But out of state tuition was so expensive. I visited USU once and was sold.
97. My dad races dragbikes and had held the speed record in Utah. He goes nearly 200 mph in around 7 seconds. Yikes.
98. I used to be a really fast, crazy driver....I'm now a lot safer.
99. My husband HAS to sleep with a fan on for background noise....and it's passed on to me now too. Silence bothers me at night.
100. I'm really scared of losing someone close to me.
OK...whew. That was a lot.

Fun post, I found out lots I didn't know about you, and my favorite was #72!
ReplyDeletei just barely read molly's :)
ReplyDeletelearned lots of fun things about both of you.
I loved it!
ReplyDeleteI love folded over potato chips too. I seek them out in the bag. This was so fun to read. It's good to see that some things haven't changed since we were roommates and that some things have. Love ya!
ReplyDeleteI LOVED your list! I think that you are one of the funniest, and cleverest people that I know.
ReplyDeleteDo you remember when we had a talk about the weird things that we do or have to check before we go to bed, one time at work? I also remember that you said that you always changed the volume on your car radio to even numbers. I too have some quirky or maybe O.C.D. things that I do before bed.
Thanks for doing this little post it was really fun.
