I’ve been tagged…
…twice actually, by Wendy and Shannon, or thrice (isn’t that a great word?) if you count Megan’s “I’ll tag whomever wants to play along.” [Update: add Casie to that too. I’m only doing this once though!] I’ve already listed some stuff about myself on my About Me page and my Quirks post, so I’ll try to come up with 7 new things.
1. I’m so lucky—I have a baby that doesn’t get up until about 9 in the morning, and I love it!
2. I’ve actually never had a drink of alcohol (not counting food with alcohol in it). I’m not opposed to it or anything, I just don’t see a reason to get into it. I like iced tea. And chai latte. And Coke (real Coke, that is.) So why drink?
3. I’ve worn my hair pretty much the same way since… well… always. It’s been shorter and longer, all one length and slightly layered, but I’ve never made a major change (unless you count the short-lived ’80s perm in the 8th grade).
4. I usually wear flavored kiddie lip gloss instead of real grown-up lipstick.
5. In late elementary/junior high school, while everyone else was watching whatever was cool at the time, I was faithfully watching “Brady Bunch” and “Little House on the Prairie” reruns every afternoon.
6. My parents were born on the exact same day. When I was little I thought it was normal for your parents to have the same birthday. I would ask my friends, “When is your parents’ birthday?” and they would say, “My mom’s or my dad’s?” and that confused me.
7. Despite intentions to the contrary, I exercise on a “2 weeks on, 2 months off” kind of schedule. And you know, I’ve stayed about the same size throughout my adulthood (excluding pregnancy of course). So I guess it works for me. Maybe I should write a book—I might be on to something here!
And I’m going to do the Megan bail-out: I tag anyone who wants to give it a shot.
The “Brady Bunch” and “Little House on the Prairie” reruns WERE what was cool at the time. There was no cable with all-cartoon channels back then. It was network television after the soap operas and before the news! My brother and I LOVED the Brady Bunch!
