I've been tagged for the "random facts" game a few times. Most recently, Kara tagged me so I thought I would go for it.
1. I don't like cake. I don't like it so much that I didn't have a wedding cake. But I LOVE desserts and candy. So we had a dessert bar and then a candy bar (and lots of other food too) at our wedding and I thought it was perfect. Have I ever mentioned that I still believe that my wedding was absolutely perfect down to the minute detail? Yeah, it was. Thanks mom and dad!!!
2. I hate going to bed cold. I bundle up to get in bed and then slowly strip off the layers throughout the night. There's usually a pile of my clothes next to the bed every single morning. I've always been this way and Allen had to point out how extremely strange it is.
3. I am obsessed with eating enough fiber in my diet. I know the fiber content of a ton of foods and go to great lengths to get my allotted amount every day.
4. None of my babies has ever had a bottle and I breastfed both C and M for over a year each. A lot of people think this is extremely weird and inconvenient. I start them on a sippy at about 6 months so if I ever need to leave them (which I never do before about 6 months anyway), they can use the sippy.
5. My current obsession is food storage.
6. I very rarely buy books for myself - I love the library and have to love, love, love a book to actually purchase it. But, I could buy a gazillion kids books any day of the week (I'm up to 5 purchased this week alone).
7. I still refuse to color my hair. So I spend every night plucking my gray hair out of my head. One of these days I will cave but it just seems like too much work to maintain. I would however really love to start getting my nails done again but Al hates fake nails. Sigh. Funny, I had nails when we met and all the way up until I quit working to have Carter and he never mentioned it.
I tag Melissa, Marie and Elisa for this (and anyone else who wants to play along).

Ok, I have to say, I LOVE wedding cake. :-) I won't let Andrew and I leave before they serve the cake.(I guess I'm a bit obsessed) But the dessert bar at your wedding sounds like it was devine!
Glad you played along! I hate being cold in bed, but if I get too hot, I have nightmares. Weird, huh.
I am obsessed with food storage too! I think it's because I finally figured out how I wanted to do it (long term stuff) and how I was going to achieve it. Now it's just buying and doing for each month. Hooray!! (This is actually the first time I've used "obsessed" to describe this. Greg has joked with me about it, but I've just called it "focused":)
If I plucked all of my grey hairs I'd be bald, lol. Sad but true! Fun post, I loved all of your randomness.
Omigosh, I feel like I didn't know any of this!???! How fun to read, I have to admit that I am laughing about your high fiber diet! And no cake? What about cupcakes?
I'm the same when it comes to being cold at night! I slowly lose layers of clothes during the night as well!! ;o)
Yep- I have to go to bed with socks on but they are always off before I wake up.
LOL about your food storage obsession, mine is gardening these days.
no cake for me either --but give me a brownie any day!
i like amy's term 'focused'. maybe i could start using the term FCD instead of OCD. food storage is a good thing to obsess over. i love the new emphasis on 3 months storage, it's not so ovewhelming. you'll have to give me any good hints and tips you have, I'm always looking for good FS suggestions.
if i'm too cold at night I sweat. Bring on the blankets and warm pj's!
fun to read your random facts -- i love when people do these. maybe i'll have to do more.
how cool about your wedding desserts! I'd love to hear more about your perfect wedding...
LOL about your fiber issue. Do you know why you have this obsession?
I don't like buying books OR music.
I just got acrylic nails for the first time. I'm trying to decide still if I like them....
Just tell me you don't wear socks to bed!! Please, that's the WORST. And did you know the costco whole wheat bread has 5 grams of fiber per slice? I might have that obsession too......
Fun! I'll play along...
I've breastfed each of my babies for a year too, although C & I would take a bottle. Not L. It's challenging, but worth it, I believe. And I have never, ever colored my hair. In fact, that might be one of my 7 random facts...
I never knew you didn't like cake! But I do remember shopping for white candy with you when you were in Las Vegas. Remember going to M & M world and looking at the solid white M & M's?
