Random Things About Me You Probably Won't Care About

 Do you really know a person if you don't know a few random facts about them? For example, did you know that although I love the ocean, I never go down to the beach when it is sunny?? I dislike the sun, heat, crowds, and smell of sunscreen so much that I limit my time to early mornings or early evenings. When everyone else is packing up and heading in, I am on my way down.


A few other random quirks of mine you probably don't care about...

I read magazines from back to front. Absolutely no explanation for this one.

I strongly dislike minigolf. Just cannot do it. But I am glad for those who do!


   I love cooking Italian food. And I am really good at it. Lots and lots of practice.



 A reader commented that my son resembles a young Paul McCartney. So after a quick Google search, I realized that yes. My son could pass for a Beatle! Thank you to whoever pointed that out!


And finally, while the vast majority is celebrating the commencement of summer, I join them, but for a different reason. It brings me that much closer to my happy place. Autumn.


Well. That is what I have today, my friends. I hope you have a cozy, happy, productive, or restful day. And I add the families of the precious victims of yesterday's tragedy to my prayers.

  5. Interesting tidbits! I like the beach and walking in sand, but not actually getting into the water! NO problems here as any beach is a very, very long ways away. My heart is broken with the Texas shooting - so very sad and senseless. Prayers for the families and our nation.

  7. I love these kinds of posts from you and learning more about you. I can relate or understand most - except mini golf! Lol I love to mini golf. And the reading a magazine backwards made me LOL, but I actually think that's cool and may need to try it. I hope the rest of your week is blessed my Friend. xo

  9. The photo comparison is spot on, oh my! And I couldn't agree more, Fall is my favorite...not too hot, not too cold, ideal for me...carving pumpkins, cozy sweaters, bonfires, those are the things that make my heart happy. You inspired me (again!) I've been thinking about a similar post, I'll get on it this week! Have a terrific rest of your week, Mary

  10. I am with you, I do not like the hot sun, heat or crowds. Too bad, because the beach is so beautiful. But why not enjoy it in the early morning or early evening? I do love the smell of sunscreen though. Like I said in your last post I really do think Rhett resembles a young Paul McCartney quite a bit. There's a strong resemblance. Reading a magazine backwards? That's a funny quirk. That would make me a bit nervous. But we all have our quirks, so who are we to judge. It's so sad about all those little kids and two teachers in TX. I can't even begin to imagine the pain those parents are going through.

  12. I always enjoy learning things about you. I haven't played mini golf in like 11 years, but I don't remember disliking it? I should give it a go and let you know. ;-)

  13. I really enjoyed this post. Like you I love going to the beach in the morning. There's something magical about listening to the sound of the waves in the morning. It adds a bit of sparkle to the rest of the day!

    With love from,

  14. I absolutely how we're all the same in different kinds of ways! (That's in the song Relate from King and Country.)

  15. Ok, I SO related to everything on your post today. That is wonderful that you cook Italian food so well. It's my favorite food! Oh my gosh, Rhett DOES look like Paul McCartney, that's amazing! I think we all have a twin out there, right? Your Italian dish looks delicious, and can that be tiramisu? I don't like the crowded beaches either, and I chuckled at your words, "It brings me that much closer to my happy place. Autumn." Me too! What a terrific post this morning, Billie Jo. Loved it all. It's nice to hear random facts about our blog friends once in awhile. : )
