I am going to do numbers 1-3.

11 Random Things:
1.  I hate showering.  Don't worry, I do it on a regular basis, but the thought of it stresses me out. It is not so much the showering part, but the part that comes afterwords that I dread, which is the getting ready part, which makes me seriously hate the showering part.
2.  If Jordan isn't home I can't sleep in our bed, I sleep out on the couch.  
I get to scared in our room/bed by myself.
3.  The feeling of my knees touching really creeps me out.  I can't stand it. I have to sleep with something between my knees like a pillow. 
It's a gross feeling to me to have those knee bones touch!
4.  I worry I am not going to love my kids as much as I love Ben Cook.  I worry I am going to have these nerds as kids, and Ben is going to be the child I never had.  I also worry they won't be as cute as the Cooks kids.
5.  I know way more about celebrities lives than I should.  I find them to be fascinating.  I read eonline multiple times a day, along with other sites.  I share all of my information about these celebrities with Jordan, as if I am friends with them all.
6.  I don't eat Chinese food, not because I don't like it, but instead because I have this fear of it.  I believe if I eat it my face will swell up.  I truly think this will happen to me, while I logically know it is crazy and most likely not true, I still don't eat it. So when I am asked if there is any food I don't like, I say Chinese.
7.  I ask Jordan for a massage on a weekly basis, and he usually gives me one, not willingly, but he does.  And these massages are real, good massages too.  Like I lay on the couch and he gives me a full body, 30-60  minute massage.  I realize this is not a normal thing a husband does, and I love my husband for doing it.
8.  I don't have my ears pierced, and feel like a fool when I look at what I'd look like with earrings on.  The only piece of jewelry I usually wear is my wedding ring.  I do like rings and some bracelets, but when it comes down to buying it for myself, I always think I'd rather buy a shirt or something else instead.
9.  I feel terrible about 6th grade.  We had "try-outs" to be our friend.  We picked a girl, then a week later told her she couldn't hang out with us anymore.  I did apologize in 7th grade to her that my friends and I were not the nicest, but I still feel bad about that to this very day.
We also pretended we were the Spice girls.  I was Scary.
10.  The Nintendo (and by nintendo I am referring to all gaming devices) stresses me out a lot and gives me a bit of anxiety.  My kids are going to feel deprived because I say we will never own one.  No wii, no kinect, nothing.
11.  When I was younger nobody could eat a Wendy's cheeseburger faster than me.  My sisters would always try, and never beat me.

Amanda's Questions:
1. What is your idea of a perfect date?  I love going out to eat, so that first, then Jordan would take me shopping and let me buy whatever I wanted, then maybe a campfire on the beach would be magical.
2. If you had to pick one thing to eat for the rest of your life, what would it be?  Chips and Salsa.  I eat that on a daily basis.  French fries and ketchup too.
3. If you could be any celebrity who would it be?  I think Jessica Alba is beautiful so maybe her, but Jenna Dewan is married to Channing Tatum, so tough call. Also, I think Kendall and Kylie Jenner seem to have a pretty fun life too. 
4. What is your favorite memory from high school?  Oh boy, lets see. . . . I loved my teachers and administration.  I spent the first week of my Senior year in Mr. Zauggs office, and most days in Coach Fesslers.  Mr. Timothy was wonderful to me too.  I also loved my classes with Emily senior year.  And I also have some of the funniest memories cheerleading when I start to think about it.  
5. What would you do with $5000, if you had to spend it all in one day?  Fly Jordan and I to Europe somewhere.  I really hope to go there at some point.  We'd shop, eat delicious food, and see amazing things.
6. What is your favorite scent? (perfume, candle, shampoo etc.)  I love the smell of cleaning supplies.  Like after you have cleaned the bathroom, and you walk in and it smells fresh and clean, I love that!
7. If you could change your name, what would you change it to?  I can't picture me as anything but Brooke.  I think Brooklyn is cute, and once pretended that was my name.  But I like my name, it's weird to think of changing it.
8. What is your favorite day of the week? And why?  I love Saturday's for obvious reasons of having the entire day with me and Jordan, but I also love Friday nights.  We usually stay home and watch Shark Tank, What Would You Do, 20/20, and Dateline.  I love it.
9. Chocolate or fruity candy?  Fruity candy 100 times out of 100!
10. What is your favorite restaurant?  I love food way too much.  I love El Matador, am craving Cafe Rio at the moment, I love this place called Nic and Jim's in Georgia, and have been thinking about this Pizza place in San Francisco since we went there like 6 months ago . . . I could go on and on.
11. What is your favorite accessory and why?  My purse.  I take it everywhere, and try to fit my entire life in there.  I feel weird without it next to me.


. . . and that is the weirdness that is me!
Thanks Amanda for tagging me, this was fun!
