25 Random Things About Pam That You Wish You Never Knew...

25 Random Things About Me:

1. I've been to New Zealand...and it has to be one of the most beautiful places on the Earth!

2. I've also been rafting down the worlds largest raftable waterfall...which happens to be in New Zealand. 25 foot drop in an 8 man raft! I took my anxiety medication before hand.

3. Before I was married, my initials spelled PAM (Pamela Anne Meyers). Now they spell PAP, or as some say "PP". Neither of which are very attractive...

4. I seem to have some obsessive compulsive behaviors that I've noticed in life...like re-reading emails over and over again (especially before I send them...but even AFTER I've sent them...I try to figure out what it sounds like to the other person...I've read this posting already about 4 times). Also, if I clean, I have to clean EVERYTHING spick and span...I deep clean when I do clean...which makes cleaning not happen very often because I don't have time to deep clean...but I hate leaving things half undone, so I rather leave it ALL undone. Don't ask. I have no idea.

5. I really...really really....want a baby right now. Like, right now. And my husband is just as bad...

6. I am the baby of the family (5 kids). And while I don't show it in my dealings with people in general (I'm EXTREMELY independent...my parents were too poor growing up to spoil me too much) I do show it in my family relations. I like to bug my family...and while my siblings got to get away from my pestering, my poor husband has to endure it for eternity :) He would say "Oh Joy" right about now...especially when I keep him up at night poking him or blowing air from my CPAP on his face.

7. In reference to the above, I use a CPAP Machine (Continuous Positive Airway Pressure) for Sleep Apnea. The first time any of my little kids decides to sneak in our bedroom at night, they will be pleasantly surprised (or scared!) to see a mask on mommy's face...I will tell them all mommies wear them ;) j/k. But, I don't snore anymore, much to my husbands delight.

8. I have panic attacks...and have since I was a little kid.

9. I hate when I feel out of control in cars...like when you were little and your dad would jerk the stearing wheel back and forth to make the car swerve for fun...yeah, I HATE that. Ryan likes to fish tail out here on the ice, and I yell at him EVERY TIME that it is NOT funny.

10. Macayo's Red Corn Chicken Taquitos with Baja Sauce is my FAVORITE meal. And I am having some on Saturday when I go home to AZ...Oh how I've missed my Macayo's out here in Idaho...

11. I wore flourescent socks when I was in elementary school (around 1st grade). The first impression my best friend from elementary school can remember about me is seeing me walk down the halls in my flourescent socks.

12. I once allowed my oldest sister to lock me in the trunk of her car. I don't know why I thought it was a great idea, or what I thought she was going to do with me...but she started backing out of the driveway, and I immediately went into a full blown panic attack, pounding on the trunk and screaming and crying. She stopped at the end of the drive way and finally let me out. I can still remember the horrible feeling today...

13. I've been to Oahu, Hawaii.

14. I love, love, love CSI (Vegas). My favorite show, and I own all the seasons.

15. I think I really want a Magic Bullet for my birthday...my husband is aware.

16. I'm not one much for diamond jewelry or expensive gifts. My husband bought me some diamond earrings for our 1 year anniversary in December, and he found out I rather have had the latest CSI Season out on DVD :) (which he ended up buying for me for Christmas instead). He also bought me a $400 bracelet last year for my birthday and Valentines day...I LOVE the color of it (different shades of blue all around) but I've only worn it about 5 times. That same V-Day last year, he bought a $300 Massage for me, that I never ended up using. When I went to use it before we moved out here, I found out the business closed down due to the struggling economy. I'm a simple girl, and also an anxiety ridden one that didn't want to go to a well-to-do salon all by myself. BUT, as he mentioned the other day, he is actually relieved to know I'm not big on fancy presents (or even presents at all...I really don't care) so he doesn't have to stress over V-Day this year. See, I'm a great wife.

17. I am completely out of debt. And proud of it.

18. I played the violin growing up. I haven't touched it since I graduated high school.

19. I hate E.T. I remember watching E.T. in the movie theatre with my family when I was only 3 years old...probably one of my earliest memories. I sat through the movie with my moms hand over my eyes, and I would space out her fingers every once in a while to peek through. To get me over my fear of E.T., my mom bought me a plastic E.T. doll where you pushed a button on his back, and his neck would raise up. Probably the worst idea my mom has ever come up with. I ripped off his head and threw him in the garbage. My brother wanted to keep him for himself, but thankfully, my mom wouldn't let him since I didn't want it in the house. I still hate E.T. to this day. Especially when he gets sick and turns white. My husband thinks he is going to get our kids hooked on watching E.T. just to mess with my mind.

20. I have the longest Uvula (the thing that hangs down in the back of your throat) you have ever seen. It's fat, and long, and touches my tongue. Thus, the reason I snore...

21. I hate any kind of food that comes out of the ocean. Fish, seafood, you name it. No thanks.

22. I LOVE eating tomatoes whole, like you would eat an apple...but don't like them sliced on my sandwich. I'll pull them off.

23. My husband was my first real boyfriend. And I was his first kiss (I wasn't TOO far ahead of him here...).

24. I have a love/hate relationship with rollar coasters. I love them, but they scare the crap out of me!

25. I like Ketchup on my tostadas (beans, sour cream, cheese, and ketchup on top!), burritos, and on my tacos. And even used to put it on my Macaroni & Cheese when I was little. My parents used to tease me that if I could, I would live off of ketchup alone
