Mr & Mrs Peters

Ages ago, Karen tagged me in her blog post… Karen, please forgive me for being so delinquent in my blogging. So, without delay, here are my 10 honest truths.

1. I talk to Radar like he is a human, which I think is because we are alone together so often. I know he isn’t going to answer me back, but I do it anyway. Every day when I come home from work I pet him and ask, “How was your day… What did you do today?” When I am laying in bed at night I call out, “Goodnight Radar.” Justin usually resorts to one of three tactics: mocking me, pretending to talk back in Radar’s voice, or just ignoring it all together.

2. To remember where I have parked in large structures/lots, I assign curse words to my parking spots. (example: If I parked in 3J I would remember 3 jerks- Not really a curse word but you get the idea.)

3. As I go about life, I am constantly asking myself, “What would Michael Scott do in this situation?” It’s not that I want to emulate him, but more that I am obsessed with how he handles social situations.

4. One of my favorite things in the whole wide world is holding babies. I am scared that when I have my own kids I am not going to be able to let others hold them. I promise, I am normally a good sharer!

5. Like many people (I hope), I occasionally get the urge to laugh during the most inappropriate times. Being in HR, this can be a huge problem. Imagine how you would feel if someone started laughing uncontrollably at you during your interview… Or, even worse, while you were being fired? The worst, however, was when I got the giggles during my great grandmother’s funeral.

6. During high school I worked as a hostess at an Italian restaurant. We were located near a big military base so people would come in wearing their uniforms somewhat frequently. I would try to thank each one who came in to eat… Usually the service people appreciated my sentiments, but it would turn me into a mushy wreck. One time I got so distracted thanking a pilot that I walked into another table right in front of his whole family.

7. When I was little, I played a game with my little sister Allie that revolved around a blizzard at an airport. I don’t remember all the details, but I would basically cover her with every blanket we owned, to keep her from dying. She was probably 3 at the time, which explains why the heck she let me do this to her. This story also shows that my fear of natural disasters started at a young age.

8. I have tried dressing up Radar in human clothes. Don’t judge.

9. If I could have 3 wishes, one would be to sing like Lea Michele from Glee.

10. When I laugh too hard, I sometimes pee my pants. Again, don’t judge.
