To Know a Stripe

For your Monday enjoyment, here are some random things you may not know about me:

I've always wanted to be a mascot. A got a bit of a taste of it a few years ago when I got to dress up as a chili pepper for a race around the bases during a local minor league baseball game. Ah, the cheers of the fans - and I won the race, even after getting tripped up by a fellow pepper after the start!

Grown-ass adult here - still scared of the dark.

I have my mom to thank for this, but I adore garlic. I think a few slices of raw garlic is a fantastic accompaniment to almost any meal - though I rarely ever do this (those around me rejoice). As much as I like garlic, I can't stand the taste of garlic on my breath and it practically impossible to get rid of!

 

Doomsday Preppers is one of my guilty-pleasure shows. More so, probably, than anything on Bravo. The folks on Bravo are plain ole over-the-top. The eccentric people on Doomsday Preppers may be right. Shhh, and get in your foxholes!

I get way seasick. I went deep sea fishing once and it was a lovely day out on the water until ... the captain turned off the engine and the boat started swaying side-to-side. And that was about the end of my day. Except I didn't want to ruin the trip for everyone else on the boat so I laid down sick on the boat for hours. Not one of my more fun excursions.

Chocolate chip cookies are my fave, especially the chewy ones. I love everything about them except for the chocolate chip part. Really.

I've been to Disney World three times, all times with friends, no kids. I love Epcot. Space Mountain is awesomely scary. The hot dogs at Casey's Corner in the Magic Kingdom can't be beat. The blue glow-tinis at the Prime Time Cafe in Hollywood Studios are wicked. And some of us may have snuck into the Honey I Shrunk the Kids exhibit after-hours, thanks to too many glow-tinis.
