7 Random Facts About Me

Ok Carrie -- I know it took me a while, but I finally got around to it!

Instructions: These are the rules…. each player starts with 7 random facts about themselves on their Blog. People who are tagged need to blog 7 facts about themselves and post the rules as well. At the end of their blog list 7 people you are tagging. Let them know that they are tagged by leaving them a comment.

1. I have freckles in weird places, one on the bottom of my foot, one on my ring finger (palm side), and one on my lip - like literally ON my lip - the pink part.

2. Most of you probably know this, but I played rugby for two years while I was in college. I loved it and I miss it. I'd love to play again, but I am not in shape (AND I'm pregnant!), my husband forbids it (I got injured alot!), and I don't want to be around all the swearing, beer and people with lifestyles that I don't agree with. (How's that for PC?)

3. If I wasn't a mom, I would be traveling the world right now. (don't get me wrong, I LOVE being a mom...but I've always dreamed of seeing the world and that dream never included toddlers tagging along!) :)

4. I have my fair share of pet peeves, but one that encourages me to set a good example for my kids is to always be polite and courteous. I can't stand rude people - you know, the ones who are rude just because they are rude. The ones who never say "please" or "thank-you" or who throw trash on the ground when there is a trash can 5 feet away or the ones who stand right outside your living room window (which is open) and smoke every 20 minutes....Ok, so there are a lot of pet peeves that can fall into the "rude" category...but you get my drift. I just feel like it IS important to always be considerate of other people if you expect people to be considerate of you.

5. When I was 8 years old I was carrying my little brother on my back running down a hill with a creek at the bottom. A few feet from the creek the grass became very wet and soggy/muddy and I slipped and fell and hit my head on some rocks. Blood was gushing everywhere and I was rushed to the ER where I watched in a mirror overhead as the doctor shaved my hair, and put stitches in. (I used to think I had 75 stitches, but for some reason I think that was exaggerated...) Anyway, the result is that I now have 2 inch scar on my head - and oh yeah, there is a freckle/mole on it. see, I do have freckles in weird places!

6. Another one of my dreams has been to own a harley - or to have a souped up car like the ones on the fast and the furious. When I had my old honda I used to imagine it getting pimped on "Pimp My Ride" and how cool that would be. I don't know about street racing, but just having the cool car would be so much fun! Can you imagine one of those cars with 2 carseats in the back? HA!

7. I have a collection of about 80-90 menus. It started in high school -- some of my friends used to collect them, so I started it too. Well, I still have all of those menus and hope to do something cool with them some day!
