We've hit a major milestone - 25 posts for my Libby Design blog. That leaves me no choice but to do something wild and crazy in celebration...like list 25 random things either about myself or my business for your reading pleasure. Here goes nothin'...
1) My middle name is Rebecca.
2) My desk usually has at least one sippy cup on it and remnants of various snack items from the kids at any given time.
3) This morning I sat at a Caribou in St. Louis Park for an hour and fifteen minutes waiting for a new client to show up - while she sat at the Caribou across the freeway for an hour and fifteen minutes waiting for some mysterious designer who contacted her out of the blue to show up. We've rescheduled for Wednesday - and have narrowed down the SPECIFIC Caribou we'll be meeting at. :p
4) My first dog's name was Chumley - she was a St. Bernard who died after being attacked by a porcupine. RIP Chumley.
5) I love Cherry Coke.
6) At my last dentist visit I had 3 cavities...probably from Cherry Coke.
7) When I was little I was absolutely IN LOVE with John from C.H.I.P.S. Now I look back and wow, was he a complete dork or what?
8) I'm two months behind in entering my business expenses into my expenses spreadsheet.
9) Chad is actually my second husband - when I was 7 my brother Aaron married myself and Jeremy Day behind the Lilac bushes at First Baptist Church in Cannon Falls, MN - the very church my parents were married at. Unfortunately, that marriage only last about 2 hours until church was over.
10) I sometimes catch myself singing songs from "Barney" or "The Wiggles" as I'm working. Today it was a song from "Elmo's Potty Time"...."Put your body on the potty 'cause it's POTTY TIME!!!!!" (Imagine that being sung in the voice of Elmo's Dad)
11) Growing up I thought my Dad was related to McGyver because he could fix anything...and he kind of looked like him, too.
12) This past weekend I realized that my son has inherited one of my best features...my double jointed arms. Yes!
13) I have 1,824 songs in my iTunes library.
14) I love funky socks.
15) All I want for Christmas is...a gift card for socks from this website.
16) I'm the proud owner of a black 70s tie-around-the-neck pant suit that is complete with rainbow stripes running down the side AND a matching belt. Bring on the Halloween parties - can't wait to break that thing out again.
17) I recently got new glasses after having the same pair for WAY too long. When the eye doctor checked the prescription of my old glasses and compared it with my new prescription she said, "Wow, you haven't been driving with these on, have you?". I look at her and said, "
18) Last night I was thrown out trying to stretch one of my hits in our softball game into a triple. Crap, if only I had slid.
19) One of my most prized possessions is my "Poison's Greatest Hits" CD.
20) I haven't balanced my checkbook in over 6 months. Thank you online banking.
21) The only thing I ate today was a chicken burrito from Chipotle.
22) I love Dwight Schrute.
23) I sometimes play with the Dukes of Hazard car that sits on the ledge next to my desk.
24) Spam makes makes my skin crawl...or at least the idea of it does - I've never actually tasted it.
25) I have 3 meetings with "new potential" clients lined up over the course of this week, including the one I rescheduled as a result of the Caribou crisis this morning.
There you have it ladies and gentlemen - 25 fabulous things you probably really didn't care to know. Hope the next 25 posts are as incredible and out-of-this world as the first 25 have been. Peace out.

I LOVED this post. I laughed out loud a few times, too. Thank you for that.
Wonderful thoughts. The things you don't know about your neighbors :) Oh, but the Cherry Coke, of course I knew that. I'll never forget making them for both of us during one of your "cravings" when you were pregnant with Peyton. I'm so glad we share the same love for sugar!
I like the McGyver comment...and yes, your dad does look like him:-)
Awesome post!
