Fun Fact Friday

As you all know by now, I have taken my first vacation day(s) since January from my nanny job and escaped to San Francisco to play with Mr. Bear and GF for a long weekend. So in my absence, I thought I’d entertain you with a bunch of useless facts about my life on this fiiiine Friday.
1. My last day of working at an afterschool program in Knoxville I had the brilliant idea to dress up as a Tennessee hick and tell my students that Mrs. Bear had already moved to Atlanta…I talked with a southern accent and definitely had them fooled for atleast 30 seconds (4th graders are a lot smarter than I thought). However the kindergardeners were confused for quite some time and a few were devasted.
2. I sleep with a stuffed moose named MaryAnne. She is actually a male moose but when I was 7 years old I really didn’t give a rat’s butt what her gender was. My male moose wore dresses and bows in his antlers. Then MaryAnne’s antlers fell off and she was officially a woman.
3. I have never had a pet of my own. My sister has had 3 fish, a guinea pig, and a dog.
My dad had a cat. My mom had a cat. My brother had a cat. Me = nothing.
Someday Mr. Bear and I will get a puppy and even then it won’t be just my pup. This bothers me
4. I was on the Uconn Tap Team the first year it was created at the University of Connecticut. We won competitions and danced all over campus. The year after I transferred to UT they danced at a Celtics game during halftime and I was SO mad I wasnt there.
5. Last year I learned how to booty pop in the Pop Jazz class I took in Atlanta. At my wedding, after a few glasses of champagne…and maybe a few vodka sodas… I showed all of my new in-laws my booty popping skills. Thankfully the videographer was gone, but some guests took pictures… I am still trying to collect and destroy them all.
6. I think fart noises are HILARIOUS. And poop jokes are hysterical. However, Mr. Bear does NOT like talking about poop. Isn’t it normally the other way around?
7. Mr. Bear and I get a great kick out of prank calling his mom and stepdad b/c they don’t have caller id.
8. I hate really tall things. The Washington Monument made me wanna vomit. One time I saw a 7 foot man at the airport and had to hide in the bathroom until he was long gone. I called my mom from the stall hysterical and she had to calm me down.
9. I secretly wish I could become famous someday.
10. I curse like a dirty old sailor. It is really hard for me to censor myself in real life… The first time I said “shit” in front of Mr. Bear’s conservative mom I thought she was going to pass out and he was going to punch me.
11. I used to think Mrs. Buttersworth was real. I would talk to the bottle at the kitchen table and the bottles at the grocery store. I only buy Mrs. Buttersworth syrup to this day bc we are still bff.

12. Mr. Bear had to practically drag me down to the beach the night he proposed. When he asked me to take a walk with him on the red sandy beach, I politely declined b/c I didn’t want to get my feet sandy. Actually, I pretty much threw a tantrum fit (complete with stomping and flailing of my arms) refusing to follow him down the steep sand dune. He took off and I realized a fight would ensue if I didn’t take the dang walk with him… Needless to say I am glad I stopped acting like a baby.

13. I wrote a letter to the Tooth Fairy when I was little threatening her…i told that fairy if she didn’t take my tooth and leave me a gift she was going to be VERY sorry. She left me my monies and I felt like the most badass 5 year old around ( you’d be afraid of a 3 foot 5 freckle faced little devil with a strawberry blonde afro too).
