Okay - so now I have to list 8 facts about myself that may or may not be interesting to you :) - then tag 8 others, hmmm….
one - i frequently sneak out of my bed, go down to the guest room, call all my dogs and snuggle up for the remainder of the evening (particularly if Victor is snoring!)
two - i always despised guacamole (really, anything that has that *texture* where you go *mwhah* - you know, that mealy texture up against the roof of your mouth like peas, or refried beans, or avocado) BUT when I was pregnant with Ali I somehow turned the corner and now I love and crave a good guac (still creep out about the textues thing on the other disgusting foods i mentioned!)
three - I would give ANYTHING to go on *The Amazing Race*. Love that show. Seriously, love a lot of reality TV (i know i know - i shouldn’t be admitting it!) but I would never want to lock myself in a house for 3 months (Big Brother) or starve as a castaway (Survivor) or God forbid, SING (American Idol) but would I travel around the world doing crazy stunts and sleeping who-knows-where?? HELL YEAH. You wouldn’t even have to give me the million dollars (although I just KNOW I’d win!) I’d do it for free. In a heartbeat.
four - i like excessive and **unusual** punctuation!!!!! In fact, when people write grammatically (sp?) correct sentences, I find them incredibly boring :)
five - speaking of singing (harking way back to list item #3) I was somehow absent the day GOD (or whomever you believe is in charge of such things) handed out musical talent. Seriously. I can’t carry a tune, I’m tone deaf, have NO sense of rhythm, it’s sad, I tell you. And yet, I like to sing REALLY LOUDLY in the car. Wanna go on a road trip with me??
six - again, speaking of singing….my darling precious little 2 1/2 year old likes to say “please mommy, you no sing” whenever I start. Brutal toddler honesty. My protective little 4 year old son always rises to my defense “don’t worry mommy, i like your singing” awwwww……
seven - my daughter is named after a football team. yep, my dear husband is a huge Crimson Tide fan - when we were thinking of girls names and not agreeing on anything - I jokingly suggested “we could name her Alabama and call her Ali” He LOVED it. I was like, I’m KIDDING. I thought I had dodged that bullet when Jake popped out and was, lo and behold, a boy. My triumph was short-lived, as from the moment of conception (okay, I exaggerate a little) my DH proclaimed that she was a girl and that her name was Alabama Grace. And so it is. Just give it awhile - it actually sounds cute and not nearly as horrifying as you are thinking it is right now :)
eight - i should really stop playing this silly game and get back to work proofing…..
That’s it. 8 things you never knew you wanted to know about me!
