Get to Know Me: 50 Completely Random Questions

After five years I have blogged about nearly every topic ande for anyone who wants to know more there is an about me page in my header. Even if you are new reader you’ll know I ramble on about new things many times a week to today I am going to kick it back to the kind of post that was popular in 2009 when I started reading blogs and was just fading out in 2012 when I started writing mine – a getting to know me post. I am going to answer 50 Completely Random Questions that People Rarely Ask which Molly from the blog Still Being Molly answered last week.  Here are my responses: 

1. What’s your favorite candle scent? Cake Batter. 

2. What female celebrity do you wish you were related to? Jennifer Lawrence.  More like I wish she was my best friend – does anyone reminder the Ode to Jennifer Lawrence I wrote in 2013?  Well it’s pretty much all still true. 

3. What male celebrity do you wish was your brother?  Chris Hemsowrth because he is gorgeous, my future children would have  great genes, and I am sure he must have attractive friends.  

4. What’s your favorite thing about marriage? (And if you’re not married, what’s your favorite thing about being single?) Well I’m not married so only having to plan around my schedule and being able to take solo trips whenever I feel like it! 

5. What’s one thing you own that you should probably get rid of, but just can’t?  After watching quite a few Buzzfeed videos I probably have makeup (especially nail polish) that is expired which should go through and throw out though it pains me, even if they were free samples. 

6. Can you do a split? Nope!

7. How old were you when you learned how to ride a bike? I am going to go with five?  Dad, feel free to comment on this post and let me know if that’s not correct!

8. How many oceans have you swam in? To be honest I had to Google “how many oceans are there”  because I know I have been in many seas but oceans?  In case you are wondering the answer is five and I am going to say that I have swam three – Atlantic, Pacific, and Indian because I did put my toes in the water in South Africa but it was FAR too cold to get in but we can count it 🙂 

9. How many countries have you been to?   Easiest question of the list so far because I wrote a whole post about this two weeks ago – the answer is 49.
