8 random things

8 random things about me

1. All right, here are the rules.
2. We have to post these rules before we give you the facts.
3. Players start with eight random facts/habits about themselves.
4. People who are tagged need to write their own blog about their eight things and post these rules.
5. At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.

Don't forget to leave them a comment telling them they're tagged, and to read your
blog.



1- I delivered both of my kids without an epidural because I would rather go through a double-peaking transition-stage contraction every day for a month than let a doctor near my spine with a needle.

2- I waited until I was almost 30 before I had my wisdom teeth out (stupid) all 4 were full bony impacted and it took me 18 months before I could open my mouth all the way again. Thanks a lot you hack!

3- I love to learn new musical instruments. I've played the flute since 5th grade and in college learned to play clarinet, oboe, saxophone, and bassoon.

4- I can't dance to save my life. I get stiff and unwieldly and don't know how to follow.

5- I don't do girly. At least not if I can help it. Me- I'm a jeans and t-shirt kind of woman. Always have been, always will be. If it's cold I'll throw a flannel shirt over the top or pull on a sweatshirt. And if I do have to dress up, I usually feel like a complete fraud. Like I'm pretending to be something that I'm not.

6-I don't drink coffee (caffeine makes me paranoid- more so than usual), I don't smoke cigarettes (can't stand the smell), and I think beer looks like a urine specimen from the doctor's office. But. I do like mixed drinks- my favorite is a Long-Island Tea- the more the merrier. Some people get moody when they drink, I get silly. Everything is funny and I love to laugh. :-D YEAH BOOZE!!!!

7-My all-time favorite movie moment is when they bring the heroes around a corner moving in a line toward the camera. It's a shot they've used in Armageddon (especially effective when you saw the gaps in the line from those that didn't return), the Man in the Iron Mask (right before the last big fight against the king) and in Shrek (as they were leaving Dragon's castle). It gives me chills every time I see it.

8-I would rather be cold than hot. You can only take so many layers off before the neighbors complain. And nothing beats snuggling under a blanket and reading a good book. If I could skip summer I would. Spring, Fall, Winter, repeat. However, I love bright and sunny days. If the days are gray and gloomy I get depressed.


And I'll tag JohnGalt666, and BigTex71. I'm too chicken to tag people I don't know well and everyone else I know has already been tagged. Oh, come on, it's not that bad! :-D
