Since it’s Thursday afternoon and we’ve been known to veer off into random territory (like this, this, this, and this), I thought I’d toss another one on the barbie, er, blog. Below are things you probably never knew about me and John. Is it proof of our over-sharing tendencies? Yes. Evidence that we’re more than a little weird? Absolutely. But we just had so much fun with a Ten-Things-You-Didn’t-Know-About-Us post waaay back in 2009…
… that we thought it was high time we broke out this post three years later. So without further ado, some random bits:
1. I’ve always wanted to name a band. Not be in one or marry a rockstar. Just name one. All the time I say something weird and exclaim “that would make a great band name!” My favorite band name brain child: “What Ever Happened To Breckin Meyer?” (said out loud after seeing an old Road Trip trailer). Other favorites: “Exhibit A” and “Venn Diagram.” I know, I know. I’m certifiable. But it’s my idea of a good time. Also, I came up with “Pass The Mustard” last night and I’m kinda into it…
2. We assign babies to correlating animals. In a very very loving way. For example Clara’s a turtle. And a little bird. We see both of those animals in her all the time.We have about a million pictures that we glance at and say “Tuuurtle!” or “It’s The Bird!” She also has cousins who are a chipmunk, a bear, a monkey, and a puppy. Seriously, they all have assigned animals – at least in our heads. Here’s Clara’s “angry bird” face.
3. I know she’s not everyone’s cup of tea (and I might be a little scared if she was), but I’m totally under (as in, in no way over) Bethenny Frankel. I’ve seen every episode of Housewives Of New York, Bethenny Getting Married, Bethenny Ever After and even read her book called A Place Of Yes (I thought hearing about things like almost getting on the regular Apprentice and ending up on the Martha Stewart one were fascinating because there’s lots of behind the scenes stuff). And this next part might be polarizing to admit, but once a few years ago after a particularly good old episode of Housewives of New York I turned to John and said “now I totally understand why people get tattoos of celebrities.” Yikes, right? I just adore her hilarious honesty about herself – and I know some people are over her now, but I’m still on the train. She’s just so quick to confirm that she went crazy or had a lapse of judgment instead of denying it. I think it’s refreshing and I try to use that as my inspiration when I’m feeling defensive. That’s right, Bethenny Frankel is my inspiration. Hey, whatever works, right?
4. Nearly almost every day of Clara’s first six months on this planet she peed on her dad while he changed her diaper. We heard that was only a boy thing, but as soon as the first diaper came off, she just let it flow. And she usually made the face below. Is that not a Dr Evil/Mini-Me face or what? Hilarious. Note: John did not find it as hilarious as I did.
5. John’s favorite comeback (well, maybe second to “That’s What She Said”) is “Your Face.” No matter what someone says. For example, this dialog has actually transpired in our house – Sherry: “Oh man, did you leave that bag out in the car?” John: “Your face.” And for some reason I laugh every time. It’s his catch phrase. And I guess if pressed mine is “I do what I want!” spoken in a faux bratty tone. Even as a response to John asking if I’ll hand him the remote (which I then do and follow up with a pouty “here, but only because I wanted to”). Dorks for life.
Now it’s your turn. Tell me five random things, or at least one, about you. Do you put ketchup on your steak? Sing show-tunes in the shower? Count stairs whenever you’re on them (I totally do that in my head most of the time). Come on guys, let’s have some Thursday afternoon bonding, shall we?
Kim says
Oh my goodness when I read your catchphrases I died because my husband’s catch phrase is “Your Face!” He uses it all the time and I thought he might be the only crazy person that uses it. He even uses it with different expressions. Hilarious! Thanks for sharing…it makes our crazy family seem just a bit more normal. :)
Teresa says
In the situations in which you say John would say “your face” I would say “you and what army?” I think that saying originally was a response to a threat or challenge maybe in the 1940’s but I use it as an all-purpose response to any even-remotely stated criticism…weird!
Rebecca A. says
I will jump on the Bethenny train with ya! I have seen all episodes and sort of sad that I couldn’t watch the test run of the Bethenny talk show.
Random fact: When I am concentrating, I chew my tongue. I don’t realize it unless someone points it out to me. My mom does it too, so I guess that is where I picked it up from when I was little.
Katie Lewis says
My variation of “Your Face:” “Wow! That pillow is so pretty!” “Not as pretty as your face!”
Also (and more importantly), one thing I’ve noticed about Clara in all the pictures you’ve shared is that she has always looked like Clara. I know that sounds weird, but some kids really evolve a lot in the early years. Clara made the same faces as a baby as she does now. I think it’s sweet.
Oh yeah, and I love her voice.
Tiffany says
I’ve always wanted to name a race horse, “Whoo Doggies”

Elisabeth says
I like to think of myself as…quirky. That has a nice ring to it – right?
A few of my odder tendencies:
1. I put salt on my watermelon (and HATE watermelon without salt – think it tastes disgusting on it’s own)
2. I smell books. This is inherited from my father (who can identify certain publishers based on their “smell.” From old musty yard-sale finds to brand new Young House Love books…I smell em.
3. I talk to myself – like majorly. I even ask myself questions…and then answer them. I do it less now because my husband and I both work from home, but I miss myself. I happen to think I’m the best conversationalist around. Any psychiatrists in the area willing to lend their services?
4. I hate making a mistake in a list. If I’m writing a grocery list and write down the wrong price by accident, most of the time, I’ll start with a fresh piece of paper. Don’t know why I’m so picky about lists.
Amy Stokes says
How fun!
Okay- 1. Had a major crush on Jay Leno in HIGH SCHOOL! I even made a collage of his photos.
2. I eat chocolate while making dinner. And then still have dessert after dinner.
3. While driving, I touch my tongue to my teeth for every light pole. If I miss one, I do it twice quickly. This sounds really psycho written out.
4. My grandmother sat on her couch in the same position for 20 yrs. I recently discovered I sit on the same part of the couch in the same position.
5. When my husband and I ask each other for a small favor, the other one usually responds, “nope” and still does the favor.
6. Bonus: The sight of blood and gore doesn’t bother me, but if I barely cut myself, I get dizzy and almost faint.
Jill says
This is by far the most fun the comments section has ever been.
Let’s see:
1) I literally stayed home from work on Monday because my cat seemed too attached to sitting in my lap for me to go. She was sick over the weekend and better-but-still-mending on Monday, but sick kitties who just want to sit on your lap are so pitiful.
2) I frequently call my husband “Pooky,” and he frequently calls me “Baby Schmaybe,” but we both find it weirdly unacceptable if he calls me “Pooky” or if I call him “Baby Schmaybe.”
3) If my husband calls me out on doing something dumb (jokingly), I almost always respond, “Don’t question me!”
4) Exceptionally cute things make me cry while laughing in sort of an unhinged way.
5) I really love it when people call me by my last name.
Angie says
1. I love bacon and jelly sandwiches!
2. I always visualize the calendar months in a circle…like a clock but with the months instead of numbers. I have attempted to explain this to my husband and inquire if he does the same…he politely asked me if I was smoking something.
3. My hubby and I use the phrases, “friends on/friends off” for example, if one of our children is upset at one of us we’ll say “we’re friends off at the moment.”
4. At least once a week I declare my undying love for my bed as I snuggle under the covers.

Tassi says
My husband and I have a little thing we call “Life as a Musical.” We like to sing and dance about the mundane house and parent chores. The great thing is a good singing voice is not required.
Nikki says
hahaha I do the “i do what i want” allll the time!
Emily says
Oh, I’ve got a weird one for you!
1. I really do NOT like revolving doors. I got stuck in them once while on crutches because I couldn’t find the handicapped door. (I am not afraid of revolving doors, no way, nuh uh, not me. I just don’t like them.)
2. The phrase that my husband and I use is “You’re upside-down!” As in
“Did you forget to run the dishwasher?”
“YOU’RE upside down!”
I could explain how it came to be, but it doesn’t make much sense :-p
Jacqueline says
A bit random… our friends went to a wedding a few years ago and Breckin Meyer was at the wedding!!!

Bree says
I’ll “bite”. I won’t eat the ends of my french fries. I eat it up to the very end and toss it in the bag, on the plate, wherever. I have no idea why or where that came from but I’ve done it as long as I can remember.
In high school I taught myself to tie a shoe with my toes. When my kids pick things up with their toes my husband gives me an accusatory “that’s your genes” look.
Tracy a says
Naming bands is the best! My husband and I make the same exclamation all the time! Myersonal fave so far is, “Bloody Clutch” said in a British accent, of course! Venn Diagram is great too! Now if only I had some musical talent…
YoungHouseLove says
Haha, Bloody Clutch is awesome.

Lesley says
One thing about me… okay two:
1) I only eat Smarties in pairs (Smarties in Canada are like M&Ms , only with better Nestle chocolate inside) – matching colours, one on either side of my mouth, if there are leftovers of ones without a pair, I keep them and wait until I eat another box then pair the leftovers up first. My family knows better than to touch them no matter where they find the little pile in the house. I do it with other coloured candies too, but people are allowed to take the spares.
2) I read the last page of a book before I read the rest of it. I think the theory there is that if something happens and I don’t make it to the end I will know what happened… plus I know what I am building toward. It’s like every book is a mystery novel.
Oh, and my Aunt was lead singer in a band called The Marshmallow Cement Mixers when she was in high school.
YoungHouseLove says
Hahaha, that’s an awesome name!

hjc says
This may be your highest comment count on a non-giveaway post! Seems we’re all over-sharers! One of my (many) quirks is that I say “Doggy!” in a real excited voice every time I see one when I’m driving or riding in the car. It doesn’t matter who I’m with (or if I’m alone). Sometimes I even add adjectives – “Big black doggy!” or “Happy fluffy doggy!” The funniest thing is we don’t have a dog, or plan to. I just love seeing dogs.
Brandie says
Our niece couldn’t pronounce Despicable Me but when my brother-in-law would correct her she would respond (a little indignantly) “Let me say it how I say it.” I thought it was hilarious and quickly adopted it as my catch phrase.
Felicia says
I looooooove to sing in the car! Problem is, I NEVER know the actual lyrics and sort of make them up as I go? hah! Don’t put me on as “phone a friend” if you are ever at a musical “Who Wants to be a Millionaire?” #noreallynotkidding ;)
Melissa says
My random bits:
1> My husband and I almost never call our dog Astrid by her real name. It’s always Turd, Punky Brewster, Zac Efron, Billy Bonerface…
2> I hate cooking but I love baking.
3> My mom is my bff and she’s been in Aruba for five days and I’m going through some serious withdrawal. It’s hard not being able to call her five times a day.
4> I kind of love doing laundry: washing, hanging to dry, folding, and putting it away. It’s my most satisfying housework thing.
5> On my days off, I’d rather hang out with my dogs than do anything else. I love them more than I like most people and I feel guilty if I leave them at home and I go out when I could be home with them.
Caren says
I love this post!! And just a warning, I am an incredible dork.
1. I name every single animal. That chipmunk outside is Freddie. The random picture of puppies online are Drill-bit and Paint can.
2. I have never seen a single episode of any reality show.
3. As an undergrad, I doodled penguins in the margin of my notebooks and put course notes in their thought bubbles or as the landing when they jumped off cliffs. (differential equations didn’t play nicely.) Now when trying to solve a difficult problem at work, I doodle penguins on post-its until I figure something out.
Kiki says
It’s fun being a weirdo.
– I smell books. Like, the entire time I read them, I sort of flip the pages right under my nose. If a book doesn’t smell good (most do), I won’t buy it.
– I have a thing about alligators. As in, I love them. And try to see them whenever possible. Thankfully, they are in Houston with me, so if I need to, I can take a drive and go alligator spotting.
– I used to work in a vet, so I can clean a dog’s ears, trim toenails, and even express anal glands. But I won’t do that.
Weird! And fun. Right? Or…nerdy and weird. :)
susan says
As a teen, I was part of a week long,school-wide sit-in that changed the rules at my high school about girls NOT being able to wear pants to school!!! It was in NY, btw.
Our protest made the news and the school board then said they would allow girls to wear pants to school, BUT they had to be dress pants only-NO denim, etc.
It was 1971.
We’ve come a long way, eh?
Captain Micah says
My airplane is Gladys, and my new Ford Explorer is Pearl. It was a wonderful day when I got to introduce them to each other.
Future play dates are already being scheduled.
Jessica says
Each of my siblings has assigned animal nicknames, too! I’m a fish because I loved to swim when I was little. My brother is a frog because he was always jumping around. My sister is a monkey because she constantly climbed things. We still refer to each other by our animals, sometimes (at ages 24, 22, and 20). Fond memories!
Gloria says
Our dog Foster is so desperate for rubs that whenever he hears his name mentioned, even in a whisper from the other end of the house, he comes charging full speed ahead at you. So, we have resorted to using his “Gangsta Rap” aliases when bringing him up in conversations. They are as follows: F-Breezy, Bow Weezy, Lil’ Homey F-Troop….So weird!
krys72599 says
1. When I want to remember something first thing in the morning, I write it on my forehead. Not in pen (I’m not nuts!) but with my finger, on my forehead. And I write it backwards, so that if it WAS in pen, you could read it looking at me. Oh, and in between words, I swipe my hand across my forehead like an eraser. (You DID say we were supposed to totally embarrass ourselves, right?!?)
2. When I want to fall asleep but can’t, and before I get desperate and suck down some Nyquil (just kidding!), I count backwards from 300. Not 100. Not 500. 300. 300 because 300 seconds is 5 minutes and I figure 5 minutes of counting backwards is enough to relax me. And if I mess up the numbers while counting backwards I start all over, so sometimes it’s more than 5 minutes.
3. I have always wanted a Lotus. A 1976 or 1977 Lotus Turbo Esprit. (I’m old: I forget the year of the car but I know how awesomely cool it looks.) Yellow, with a black interior. And I want it even though an ex-mechanic of mine said I had to be able to afford to have a mechanic on staff and a trailer full of parts to put it back together… Although I married a better mechanic than he was and HE doesn’t agree…
4. If I had won this 1/2 billion dollar PowerBall, my life really wouldn’t change all that much. [Silence.] Stop laughing. I mean it. Yea, I’d travel more, but I wouldn’t move (I love my houses), I wouldn’t buy a new car (except for my Lotus. But I wouldn’t get rid of my Hyundai!), I would quit my job (but eventually we all quit our jobs). My family, though? Oh, THEIR lives would change dramatically! New or renovated homes, paid off mortgages, college funds, retirement funds, etc., etc.
5. I started college at 16-1/2 years of age (I used to be really smart, then I grew up). I skipped my senior year in high school to attend college. I met a group of about 150 other weird, smart, brilliant, anti-social teenagers who learned to socialize, make friends, and not be the weirdest kid in their class. I met my best friend there, and he and I have been best friends ever since. We spent 4 months together the 2nd semester of our freshman year, and have only seen each other times since then, since 1978, and we are still best friends. We talk about 4 times a year, now we text a few times a year, but we live about 1000 miles apart so we don’t get to spend time together. But whenever once of us picks up the phone, or sends and email, or mails a card, it’s like no time at all has gone by and it’s like it was yesterday we were cutting class to sit in the College Center Lounge and just talk, talk from morning ’til night.
Amy says
Wait a minute… You had a Burger license plate?! I want one with my dogs name! Too cute!
SW says
We call our youngest daughter Foo Dog. She even calls herself that. Like, ‘Foo Dog in the HOUSE!’. Our oldest is Lily. I often call her Lilser. One time, at a park, I said (I guess loudly), “Lilser, time to go!”. Another parent looked at me, horrified and said, “Did you just call her LOSER!”. To this day, make me LOL.
Jennifer F says
Funny! Reminds me that I’ve always wanted to have the roller derby name “Rose Mauling”….rosemaling is a form of Norwegian decorative painting…and since I have Norwegian in me and am an artist, this is my name of choice. Not that I’d ever do roller derby…..
:)
Ashli says
I am literally lol’ing (or l’ing ol?) right now at “Your face” and “I do what I want”!
One of my “trademarks” is assigning a second name to (literally) everyone! My cat is Freya Darling, my dog is Pepe Pleasant, and my husband is Justin Poohdle! (Yes, with an “h”). I don’t know where they come from, just at a certain point, a “second name” will pop into my head and then it sticks. Whenever I think about coming to read your blog, I refer to you as Sherry BonBon! Strange? LOL
YoungHouseLove says
Hahaha! I love Sherry BonBon!

Celestial says
My little boy used to make that face too! He’s 4.5 mo now, but he did it for at least the first 3 months.
5 things? My hubby and I refer to each other by the first letter of our names in e-mails (E & C). I count birds on wires just as much as I count stairs (only small groups if I’m driving). I collect Ireland t-shirts from Target (the cheap $5 ones). I have a cat named “Chapstick” because that was a requirement from my hubby, who was obsessed with said white tube, to get a cat. I know too many lyrics from 80’s musicals. Xanadu…your neon lights will shine…for you Xanadu. I blame my mom for that last one.
Melody says
My husband and I assign animals to people too. Only we do grown ups. He says I look like a mouse, and I think he looks like a gorilla. I know it sounds mean, but that’s not how we mean it. :)
Melanie says
Ha! So’s ur face!!! That phrase is said a million times at our house. In fact, we were instructing our 8 year old on the proper usage of the phrase at dinner tonight. Awesome.
Janice says
I like to complement people on something I notice about them that I like. With a lot of women, it is how they applied their makeup (since I dot wear any). With men, it is often how they smell (although I’ve gotta be careful about that one!)
Skye says
In high school I wanted to name a band the “100% Cottons” Their/Our first single would have been “shrinkage”. LOL
My sister always says “You’re a ___” as a comeback. Like as in when I remarked on her 3 point park job she told me I was a 3 point turn. LOL
Tracey says
I chose to be a single parent and have been since day one.
When my son was young (he’s now 13) he would say ” I’m showeaten” instead of sweating. So of course I say this every summer and he just rolls his eyes at me.
He also says the word variety wrong. So my friends and I always say it like he does, vi r it y, people look at us strangely but we don’t care.
Although I am 51 yrs old, one of my closest friends is in her early 30’s. I am actually older than her own mother. Either I am cooler than I think or she just tolerates me. Lol
I like chocolate ice cream and chocolate sauce but not together. Go figure.
Nikki says
Both our dog and our cat have a million nicknames! My husband and I can’t quite figure out how it progressed, but our cat went from Solomon to Bud (which is the only one he actually answers to…), in addition to Bird, Birdler, and Guy. There were more in the middle, those are just still in use. He’ll meow back anytime you say “Hey, Bud!”
Our dog, Sonya, is also called Gohnz (long O), Begonia, Jones, Bones, Tiny, Bray, Stinky, Stinglefritz and many more. Sadly, it’s gotten to where she will answer to most of those, lol. At least she knows if I use “Sonya” it’s serious. :P
We also spend a lot of time writing impromptu songs about our pets (or really anything, for that matter). Then we typically ask the other one if they liked the song. We’re pretty sure we should have been songwriters…
I also have a chicken named Pants. :)
YoungHouseLove says
A chicken named Pants is the best thing I’ve heard in a month. Seriously hilarious.

Leanne says
I am totally a huge fan of Bethenny too! I loved her talk show and cannot wait for it to come back. I am convinced that if we ever met, we’d be bffs for sure. My husband thinks that’s insane and also says, “your face” all the time. It makes me crazy bc I can’t ever think if some smart response.
Leanne says
And something funny… I just asked my husband who breckin Meyer is. “An actor…I was told I look like him.” He said. Guess I need to look him up! :)

Megan says
1. I love game shows. I could watch them all day every day. Especially the old school ones like Scrabble, Press Your Luck, DOUBLE DARE.
2. My dog sleeps on my pillow. He’s a 32 pound cocker spaniel and I wouldn’t have it any other way. :)
3. I would paint my entire house one color if I could. I find it hard to find a color that I like and want to go CRA-ZY with it when I finally do find it.
4. I love show tunes. I love to crank up the music when I’m in my car and sing at the top of my lungs.
5. I sing songs to my 6 month old daughter that have the word baby in them. I swear that she likes them the most. Especially “Baby love, my baby love.”
I love your blog. I read it every day, but rarely comment. It’s always so interesting and fun. Your house looks great!

Aw thanks Megan! You guys are hilarious- I love this post.

Laura J says
Okay, here we go!
1. We didn’t start watching Alias until the fourth season, at which point we’d watch two or three episodes on a Netflix DVD in one night. We LOVE Agent Sydney Bristow. Favorite line (and oft repeated) from the show? “I need an extraction!”
2. I call my husband “Boo” and he calls me “Sparky” . . . we have come to the conclusion we like these names much better than “Grandpa” and “Grandma” and hope any grandchildren we may have in the future call us by these names. :)
3. We both have degrees in English and love “word nerd humor.” One night at my mother-in-law’s house, the conversation turned to favorite authors. I said, “I don’t care for Hemingway. Not enough adjectives,” at which point my husband said, “Or Faulkner. Too much punctuation.” We laughed so hard we couldn’t breath! (Yes, we are strange.)
4. In keeping with some of the memes going around on FB, we went out to eat one evening with my husband’s younger sister and came up with this one: “I’ve had enough to eat…said no Jinkins ever.” We do enjoy a good meal! LOL
:)
Tamrah Ryan says
5 Random facts:
1. I occasionally, randomly text my husband crazy messages via online, so he won’t know it’s from me. It’s hilarious watching him get flustered.
2. In college I was in a band called “Curious, Cory, and the sound guy’s Peter.” We wanted people to think the sound guy’s name was Peter (when in fact it was our drummer), but then obviously “read into” it. OMG, what were we thinking? No wonder we never made it past the random coffee shop gig.
3. I think feet are gross. I have never had a pedicure because I can’t stand the thought of someone touching them. When I get a massage I don’t let the person massaging touch my feet. Not to mention they are abnormally ticklish.
4. When I fall asleep I have to have my ears covered with my blanket, and my feet tucked into the end of the blanket. Been like that for years.
5. I occasionally pull out the “I’m crushing your head” thing from Kids in the Hall. And most people have no idea what I’m talking about. If you don’t know what I mean, you should Google it… it’s waaaay less morbid than it sounds. Haha.
Erin says
Um weird. I think about renaming my childhood boyfriend’s band all the time. They had so many different names throughout the years. Today on the way home I heard a band called Of Monsters and Men. I think that is such a cool band name and I found myself pretending I was “selling” this new name to the band. funny. And yes, I must be crazy.

Oh my gosh, “Your Face” is my husband and my comeback too! Our conversations go like this:
Me: Did you leave that bag in the car?
Him: Your face is a car
Me: YOUR face is a car
Him: Your face.
Me: Your face!
And we laugh so hard and nobody else gets it. Glad to hear we aren’t the only ones.
josh o. says
commonly in our house (or at work, or wherever) i can be heard to say “dont tell me what to do” in response to anything and everything.
“what do you want for dinner?”
“dont tell me what to do”
we also overuse “that’s what she said” cause it’s always funny, and i revert to “your mom” quite often.
Our friends started to say “smell you later” instead of goodbye, and that totally stuck.
we also borrow lots of stuff from tv shows, so you can hear “say nighty night, bren-bren” from home movies; the “whatever, you dont know me….” bit from when cartman was a troubled maury povich guest on southpark; and for some reason we say “alllllll da boats” taken from an episode of Bethenny Ever After.
i’ve been know to drive around the block to double check the garage door. so much so that the neighbors notice it, and tease me about it.
side note: is the “tuuuuurtle” thing from Master of Disguise? It’s okay if it is, i won’t tell anyone.
YoungHouseLove says
Haha, it’s totally just a random “she looks like a turtle thing” but now we’ll have to check out Master of Disguise…

-I collect postcards. I have hundreds of them. I get all kinds of crazy postcards. I use them as art around the house and as mementos on trips. I’m a super light packer, so I need easy to carry souvenirs.
-Eyeballs gross me out. I have to cover my eyes when I see icky stuff on tv. I also get really grossed out when my husband tells me about his upcoming Lasik. Eww.
-I always put two packets of hot chocolate mix in my mug. It just tastes so much better!
-I get easily embarrassed for characters in movies or tv shows. I just feel so awkward. And wonder why they’re so awkward. It makes me uncomfortable.
-My husband and I choreographed a dance (part of it) to “You and I” by Ingrid Michaelson. For our first dance. At our reception. It was hilarious, and further cemented the fact that we are strange and perfectly made for each other.
Also, Sherry, the band The Features had an album titled “Exhibit A.” And the song “The Idea of Growing Old” is not only adorable to come from a rock band, but we had it played at our wedding.

Nice!!
