Random 30

Here are 30 random facts about me, one for each year.  

- During movies when it gets suspenseful I fast forward or walk away for a bit because it stresses me out. If I can't walk out I close my eyes and plug my ears.
- I sleep with earplugs or a pillow over my head (light sleeper). This started when I had Levi and he slept in our room.
- I have watched every episode of The Office, Modern Family, Monk, Psych, Bones, and Castle multiple times.
- I would live in flip flops if I could.
- I wear more makeup, jewelry, and the color pink now than I did as a kid/teenager/collage student.
- It's hard for me to sit through a movie without doing something with my hands. I think I'm ADD or at least borderline.
- Daytime TV bores me.  I have never seen a full episode of Opera, Ellen,  Martha Stewart, The View ....
- I got married 8 weeks and a day after returning from a mission in Bolivia. My husband was my first kiss (yes he was that good!) and I was the second for him.
- I throughly enjoy documentaries and non fiction books and have always subscribed to National Geographic since I was a kid. Not collage though, doesn't count.
- I hated avacados and mustard until I went to Bolivia and my companions forced me to eat them (ketchup, my favorite, is not so great down there so mustard is all that had, which tastes the same no matter where you go)
- I didn't eat cream cheese until I was 26
- Randomly I have a lego mini figure collection. They are just so cute! These are mine, not the boys, mine and located in my office and off limits unless I say so.
- I haven't spent more than $25 on makeup in the past 5 years. Thank you Scarlett!
- Perfume? That is another story. I love me some good perfume. I have far too much, but they make me feel 'put together' even if I haven't showered.
- I have a large shoebox full of  girls hair bows and clips, and several containers with ribbon to make more, just in case.
- I was extremely clutzy in high school. I fell all the time, it became such a joke among my friends and I that we started counting.
- I lose something just about every day. It's usually my phone, keys, wallet....once I even made my bed with the keys in it. Now that was a tricky one to find.
- I've sung solos in front of audiences as large as 500. Talk about terrifying.  
- My name was going to be Claudia Hannah. Kendra Denese is MUCH better.

- I very frequently think about random things like how amazing that a piece of mail got to me so quick and how does that work, or how did someone build that chair, what kind of day is that road flagger having, what exactly happens to the recycling once it is picked up....
- While I LOVE music I have been to very few concerts. My first? Boys II Men. With my mom.
- I really started learning paino when I was 16 and mostly taught myself. Which, according to a teacher or two is why my rhythem and timing ain't so great.
