7 little known facts about Kaycee

Torrey tagged me a while back and I still haven't thought of 7 things I'm willing to share about myself. Most of them are too embarrassing.


#1. My favorite place in the world to be is in my bed. I look forward to going to bed. I get in bed and cuddle up and say "Ahhhh, I LOVE my bed!" Sometimes I wake up in the night just to think "I am so comfortable. I absolutely love being in bed." And in the morning I dread getting out. I will usually wake up with the girls, turn on some cartoons, and go back to bed until they come in and get me up again. I don't usually go back to sleep, I just want to lay in my bed some more.

This goes way back to when I was a baby. Even before I could talk, I would lead my mom into my room and point up to my crib. I started sleeping through the night when I was just a newborn and I never protested going to bed as a kid.

#2. I am really prone to motion sickness. Again, this goes way back. I even get motion sick in movie theaters. If I want to see a movie, I have to take a Dramamine. And even THEN, I might get sick. This made for some really great date nights back in the day! :)

#3. People often ask me how I stay so thin. And here's the ugly truth - I don't try.
I never exercise. I eat whatever I want, although I am attracted to healthy foods naturally. I just was blessed with a really great metabolism. And I don't often feel hungry. I get this from my Dad. He can go an entire day and forget to eat. I do this often too. I will look at the clock and it's 3:00 and realize I haven't eaten anything all day. I just don't FEEL hungry! But even when I do eat, I don't gain weight.


#4. I have this weird habit - I "play" violin constantly. If I am holding Travis' hand, or have my hand on his leg, he will ask me "what song are you playing?" Because I am tapping my fingers on him to the fingerings of violin pieces. I don't even realize I'm doing it and don't know how often I do it - but probably more often than not. And it's not just pieces I've played on my violin - it can be something I heard on the radio, or a song I have in my head.


#5. I have never really been a beach person. Travis loves the beach, the girls love the beach, but after about an hour I am bored and ready to go home. So I decided if I'm living in Hawaii, I would need to take up a beach hobby of my own so I can become a beach person. So I have decided to take up shell collecting. It is really working so far. It's that variable success rate that makes it a little addicting. You never know what you might find! My goal is to find enough of my own shells to have a shell lei made with them.


#6. I have always been into body piercing. When I was in high school my mom wouldn't let me get a second hole in my ears, so I pierced my own ears with earrings and a potato. I pierced my own ear 4 times so I had 3 holes in each ear. In college I got my belly button pierced and the cartilage of my ear twice. And just last year I got the rook of my ear pierced (a cartilage part in the upper inner ear). I love it. I have never regretted any of my piercings. I think eyebrow rings, nose rings, and the ones people have on their lip or chin like a mole are really pretty. If I could go back, I would have my nose or one of the lip mole things done. I think I am too old now. Bummer.


#7. After 8 years of marriage I am still crazy in love with my husband. I get excited when I hear his car coming or when we are going to visit him at work. I still get butterflies when we kiss. And I still look at him and think he is the most handsome man I have ever seen.
