Happy birthday to B. For your reading pleasure, here are 27 fun facts about the birthday girl.
1. She's never gone to bed without flossing her teeth. Honest.
2. She flosses both sides of her mouth at the same time. You should have her give you a demonstration.
3. She knows every word to a certain Ludacris song, the title of which I won't say since it's her birthday and there's a pretty good chance she'd delete this post altogether.
4. Her signature dish these days is ribs. They give Sweetwater Tavern in Detroit a run for its money.
5. She once tried to smuggle a bunch of candy out of a Halloween party by stockpiling it underneath her elf hat, but got busted when my sister knocked the hat off her head with a pool cue and the candy went flying everywhere.
6. She's got some mad couponing skillz.
7. She's a sucker for just about any chick flick, but pleasantly surprised me by conceding "PS I Love You" was, in fact, pretty crappy.
8. Her patience with C and O is boundless.
9. She owns more shoes at the moment than I've owned in my entire life.
10. Every so often her Michigander accent still shines through. Have her pronounce barrette for you sometime.
11. Have you ever tried her homemade oreos?
12. She's a deceptive 5'2. The whole first summer we knew each other, I thought she was 5'8.
13. She's still a very good basketball player and can whip me in HORSE.
14. I've never seen her more distraught than when C cut her hair.
15. She is really, really tough. If you've heard her birth stories, you know.
16. She falls asleep during movies faster than anyone I've ever met.
17. Come over and watch her straighten her hair sometime. It's quite the process.
18. She used to work in a microbiology lab examining old Domino's pizzas for salmonella.
19. Someone really needs to humble her at Boggle, as I am incapable.
20. She's desperately searching for a converter box on craigslist these days so she can watch So You Think You Can Dance.
21. I have never laughed harder than when she busted out her old coronet and played "Tale as Old as Time."
22. Despite #15, she got worked over by her older sister in a wrestling match a few years ago, and is still making excuses about it to this day.
23. She regularly goes through 3 to 5 sets of tongs whenever she BBQs (see #18 for explanation).
24. One time she slept in a parking garage at the Pisa Airport when she was 6 months pregnant. We didn't have a car at the time either.
25. She's a very good sport when it comes to trying hole-in-the-wall foreign restaurants. She's come a long ways from her Chili's/Applebee's days. Which reminds me, I just heard about a Honduran baleada joint in Richardson...
26. Her guilty pleasure is The Bachelor/Bachelorette.
27. She wanted to rent her wedding dress rather than buy. That's when I knew I was marrying the right girl.

Oh, Happy Birthday Bethany Friend!
ReplyDeleteThat was a FABULOUS 27 list. Super insightful. And it made me think a.) we should play Boggle sometime. I mean, I'm not necessarily saying that I can beat you, but my husband can't give me a game either. :) And b.) do you freecycle? Do you know freecycle? Because there was a converter box up there just this afternoon... hang on, I'll email it to you.
Happy Birthday again, friend!
Nice list Dallan! Looks like you won the lottery with Bethany! I hope you don't mind but I kind of copied your idea and made a post for Doug's 31st B-day too. Please forgive me for my lack of creativity! Someday hopefully we can still all of us get together! I hear your bros are in our neighborhood for the summer:]
ReplyDeleteI've gotta say that I loved this list of Bethany facts! Since I've known her since 1st grade some of the things that were from back in the past brought a smile to my face remembering them. I hope you had a great birthday Bethany!
ReplyDeleteHappy Birthday B! Lindsay and I agree you are a very deceptive 5'2"...we never would have guessed!
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday Bethany and nicely done Dallan! I scrolled through the playlist on the bottom of the screen but, alas, no Ludacris. I admit to being a little disappointed... :)
ReplyDeleteHappy birthday Bethany, loved all the fun facts from Dallan! About those ribs...I heard about them from Cherise and she and I have been dreaming of them! I want the secret recipe! Hope that your birthday was a good one, Dallan is a lucky man!
ReplyDeleteHappy (late) Birthday! Bethany, you really are one of the coolest girlfriends in Texas. Can I convince you to come to NYC with us?
ReplyDeleteP.S. Borrowing a wedding dress is way better than buying. I need to come over for BBQ - I'll eat your red meat.
