25 Things You Don't Know About Me (TAG)

I came across this TAG & thought it would be fun! Here's a list of 25 things you don't know about me. 

1. When I was a kid, I always wished I had a sister. I'm the only girl on my mother's side (I have one brother & 13 male cousins). Having a sister would have meant I'd always have someone to play with. 
2. I'm actually pretty shy.
3. I love to sing, but my shyness prevents me from singing karaoke alone.
4. My favorite color is green. It's the color of grass that is always growing. I believe that, like grass,  I'm always growing.
5. As a kid, I was diagnosed with what doctors thought was a seizure disorder & was on medication for several years.
6. I got my driver license at 17 because of #5.  
   
7. I'm a home body. 
8. I absolutely have to make my bed every day.
9. I wasn't allowed to play sports as a kid.
10. At the age of 36, I pierced my navel.   
11. My maternal grandmother pierced my ears the old fashioned way with a needle & thread. They're not even. It wasn't obvious until I went to do my second holes, so I only put a second hole in my left ear.
12. I grew up in a kosher home for the first 10 years of my life.
13. I hoard nail polish.
14. I don't need to always be right. I just want the correct information. There's a big difference. 
15. I don't have any tattoos...yet.
16. I'm a giver not a taker. Asking someone to do something for me is very difficult. 
17. I like to play golf, but I'm not good at it.
18. I was allergic to gold as a kid & could only wear surgical steel (aka stainless steel) earrings.
19. My biggest fear is fire.
20. I wasn't into Sex & the City when it first aired. Now, I watch it whenever it's on & can't get enough.
21. I only shop in stores that sell pants & dresses in petite sizes, because I'm just under 5'4".
22. My favorite store is NY & Company.
23. My favorite discount store is Ross.
24. When we lived in NY, I would only go to gas stations that had attendants.
25. I finally understand that forgiveness means letting go of the hurt & pain. It doesn't mean that what caused the hurt & pain is accepted or okay. It just means that you're no longer carrying it with you.
