More About ME

Did you ever get one of those chain emails with the "about me" survey questions? I'm sure I've done at least a handfull (and deleted plenty more). The purpose was to get to know your friends/family better, maybe find out things you would never know or even think to ask. Maybe this plays into the self-centered human nature, but sometimes it was fun to answer 50 questions about me, me, ME! Now with having our Facebook addictions you would think we know eachother quite well... right? Well I bet there are still plenty of things that most people don't know. Of course, there are MANY personal facts that I hope no one finds out! But I thought I'd do a little "Facts about ME" post.
*Disclaimer: There will be no profound information in the following. If you have something important to do, by all means don't waste your time here :) haha

• I'm addicted to chapstick, and have been for as long as I can remember.
• I did not graduate high school. BUT I did take all my GED tests in record time (cuz me smart!)
• I was a very well-behaved, quiet and polite child.
• I was a very naughty, mouthy and defiant teenager.
• I hate watermelon, but love watermelon flavored candy.
• I love grapes, but hate grape-flavored anything.
• I was pregnant before I got my 1st car.
• I've been pregnant 8 times - ahhh!
• I use to try to convince my little sister we had found her on the side of the road and then adopted her. - still not sure what sort of negative impact that had on her :/
• At one point in high school my GPA was .59 - overall in college was 3.6 (wish I could tell this to some of my old HS teachers!).
• I love watching TLC/Discovery Health shows, especially the trauma ones with guts and gore. But I'd never ever want to work in health care.
• My profession right now, besides full time mother & wife, is home daycare. However, I'm still undecided as to what I want to do with my life.
• In just 10 weeks I will hit the big 3-0. Not sure I'm ready for that yet.
• I love cherry ICEE's. Not slushies, or freezies or whatever else is out there. Only ICEE.
• I have to sleep on the side of the bed closest to the door. Unless in a hotel room, where I then have to sleep closest to the window.
• Chocolate covered raisins disgust me.
• My left leg is shorter than my right leg. If you've never noticed that before, you can thank the surgeon who sliced up my pretty little 11 year old knee to fix the discrepancy.
•  I once drove over my 5 year old son's leg, on accident of course, but he didn't even have a scratch! Thank God for His protection on that one!!
• I've never been stung by a bee. So contrary to popular belief - screaming and running with flailing arms at the sight of a bee does work.
• I have to use a q-tip in my ears after I shower. If I don't have one, then I won't shower til I get some.
• Because of my congenital hip dysplasia I can't sit Indian- style, aka, Criss cross applesauce. Physically not possible to put the left leg down where it should be.
• I miss watching Mary Tyler Moore, Dick Van Dyke, I Love Lucy and Bewitched.
• I hate ugly feet - especially when the owner of the ugly feet makes no effort whatsoever to spruce them up.
• I love babies :)  I'll bet most of you DID know that!
