The Book Blogger Get To Know Me Book Tag

I saw the lovely Jazmen do this tag yesterday so I decided to join in...

5 RANDOM FACTS ABOUT ME

1. I read magazines back to front.

2. When adjusting the volume on the car stereo, it has to be 

on an even number or a multiple of 5. 

3. I was born without a sweet tooth. Not only does chocolate do nothing 

for me, but I can live without cookies, candy, ice cream, cakes, etc. 

4. I planned my elopement to Las Vegas and wouldn't change a thing. ♥

5. I don't watch TV so I am waaay out of the loop when people 

discuss their favorite shows.

MY BIRTHDAY

September 18

MY FAVORITE MEMORY

Oh geez, I don't have one favorite memory. But this is one of them.

Years ago when the movie Something's Gotta Give came out, the main character had a birthday cake with sparklers instead of candles. I made a comment to my sister that one day I wanted a cake with sparklers. Years later, at a birthday dinner with my sisters, a slice of cake came to the table... with sparklers. My sister remembered that for years and made it happen for me. I'll always remember that. :)

A DAY IN THE LIFE OF ME

Oh boy, I don't if you all can handle the excitement but here it is anyway. I get up at roughly 5:15 every day (yes, weekends, too). I wish I could say my day consisted of wine, wine and more wine like Jazmen (LOL) but sadly, no. Instead, from 8:00 til 5:00 I'm at the office. I'm the executive assistant to the Board of Directors for a company that provides training services to the Dept of Defense. The evenings consist of me and The Husband debating about where to go out for dinner, some reading when we're back at home, and by 9:00 I'm headed to bed. Total party girl, amiright? What can I say, it's how I roll.

5 OF MY FAVORITE SONGS

Not sure whether to go with my faves right now or my favorite songs ever (which would all be throwbacks to the 80's). I'll stick with the old stuff - I like it best. :)

1. Romeo's Tune - Steve Forbert (1980)

2. Lessons In Love - Level 42 (1987)

3. Burning Flame - Vitamin Z (1985)

4. Kissing a Fool - George Michael (1988)

5. Don't Leave Me This Way - The Communards (1986)

Bonus: Just for grins, I'm going to throw in a couple songs that annoy me to no end and have me changing the station immediately anytime they come on: 7 Years (Lukas Graham), Stressed Out (Twenty One Pilots), Hello (Adele)

IF I COULD EAT ONLY ONE THING FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE, WHAT WOULD IT BE?

Loaded baked potatoes. Or pizza.

SOMETHING I REALLY DISLIKE

Complainers. And lizards. (And complaining lizards are the worst.)

SUMMER OR WINTER?

Winter! Winter! Winter!

I'm a native Floridian that can't handle the heat, people.

IF I COULD LIVE ANYWHERE IN THE WORLD WHERE WOULD IT BE?

Tough one. Maybe London? I loved it there and could totally see myself living there.

Or just someplace with actual seasons. Although to be honest I don't know how I would handle a *real* winter.
