Hi all ... well I managed to get tagged by some fellow bloggers so I guess I have to play along - this will be fun! I have to post 8 things about me and then tag 8 other bloggers and have them do the same ... well here goes it ...
1. Let's see ... my biggest fear in life (other than the people I love dying before I do) is VOMIT ... yup - the sight, sound and well (smell) pretty much sends me over the edge and makes me want to cry. If someone around me tells me they have a stomach ache I will almost instantly get one in return due to the fear that someone may throw up! I am not sure why this affects me so - I think it may go back to when my sister had cancer and I would help her in the bathroom when she was sick from chemo ... didn't bother me then but I may have had my fill (sorry for that) of PUKE!
2. My favorite flower in the WHOLE ENTIRE WORLD are sunflowers ... when I was in high school and I finally didn't share a room with my brother I painted my bedroom yellow, put up sunflower border, bought sunflower bedding and pillow cases and decorated my room with anything covered in sunflowers ... today my room is blood red ... hmmm ....
3. I actually enjoy my job but if I changed jobs again and went back to school I'd love to be a kindergartner teacher!
4. Tomorrow marks the 10 year anniversary of the first day I 'met' my husband. It was 10 years ago - September 21, 1977 - that I logged onto AOL 3.0 using a dial up connection (because it was the fastest kind) and ran into some guy on the internet. I IM'd him because he was a designer like me and he returned the IM because my screen name was SMILE420 ... well the 420 represented my birthday ... he thought it meant I was a pot head ... since 420 is the cop call for marijuana! HAHAHA! Yeah, I had never even seen marijuana! Nice to know how we met huh ... fast forward 10 years and we've been married for 8 of those, have a 5 year old daughter and we're living life to the fullest! WOW huh ...
5. My daughter makes me laugh every single day - it is something her and I do in the morning ... we try NOT to make each other laugh and the one who laughs first is the loser ... but in a game like that there really isn't a loser is there ... She is the light of my life!
6. I actually - secretly - love my dog ... I wasn't really keen on getting a dog - they're a lot of work and the dog hair mixed with cat hair would wreak havoc on my allergies ... but I gave in! I act like I can't stand the poor thing but when nobody's watching I cuddle with her as much as possible!
7. My middle name is Mary - named after my maternal grandmother Mary! She is 85 years old and quite the lady!
8. I HATE to go shopping at the mall! I hate the crowds, the craziness, the people screaming at their kinds, the strollers bumping into me ... but I LOVE TO SHOP AT WAL MART!
So now that I told you a few things ... tell me somethings about you!
