25 Random Facts about Me...Miss Ann Marie Potter

So the other night I woke up from a totally-out-of-it-dreaming-of-the-sun-sleep to the nagging feeling I needed to do something. I tossed and turned for 2 hours thinking "No all the lights are shut off...and do I have clean underwear for tomorrow" you know the basic stuff. But the nagging feeling just wouldn't subside and therefore decided to get out of bed and check the house for the lights, check, check the drawers for underwear check, and yet it still remained, the nagging feeling! Finally it dawned on me I had not completed my FaceBook 25 Random Facts about me. So I promptly sat down at my new (but old to Jim) laptop and wrote out my 25 random facts. Well, you know me miss. techy-techy, I did it wrong and I don't think anybody read it, so I am going to post it on our blog...because nobody will read it here.

1. I am a realist. I absolutely hate the half-full, half-empty question because I have always thought it depends on whether or not you are filling it up, half-full or drinking it half-empty…why doesn’t anybody else think this way?
2. I have always wondered what my family would have been like if my oldest brother Alan hadn’t had died.
3. Since the time I was 12 I wanted a Burberry scarf and 4 years ago Jim bought me one for Christmas as a surprise.
4. I have a total and absolute fetish for skirts. I finally figured this out when I was buying a skirt for the summer when it was 15 degrees outside. (just last week)
5. My high school councilor told me, in not so many words, I wasn’t smart enough to go to college so when I graduated with a 4 year degree with honors I wanted to send him a copy of my degree with the words FU on it
6. The last New Year’s resolution I made (1996) was to wear miss-matched socks for the entire year…it lasted a day.
7. I can never remember my oldest and dearest friend’s, Tammi Ringger, birthday…October 16th or November 13th…the 16th? GRRR
8. I was told by Lou Diamond Phillips (look him up on IMDB) that I was funny.
9. I want to own my own gourmet kitchen shop and call it JANES Concoctions. It will be modeled after the gourmet kitchen shop I worked at for 4 years during high school while being a barrista.
10. I am currently training for a half marathon; which makes me laugh because when I first started to run I could run for 2 minutes straight now I am up to 67 minutes straight.
11. I have a very clear and distinct memory of sitting in elementary school, listening to Chris Miller talk about his family in Nebraska and thinking to myself “Nebraska, now that is one place I never want to live.”
12. It drives me crazy when people ask me if I wished I had had a girl…NO!!! I love my boys and I am glad that I have 3 boys…I am totally a 3 boy mom.
13. I hate to drive slow…it drives me crazy! And that is why one day I will drive a Porsche Panamera (the new 4-door).
