Six Random Things...

I've been tagged once again. This time by Staci at Graceful Days. I know Staci and her family from Bible camp m-aaaa-ny years ago! It's been so much fun to stay in touch with her in blog-land.

The assignment is to list 6 very unimportant, random things about myself.

At first I could think of NOTHING. I really am quite BORING. But, as I began my list, I actually found myself having to pare it down. I guess boring = many unimportant, random things.

Prepare yourself...here I go!

1. When I was 3 years old I slit my eyelid while playing with a stick. If memory serves me correctly, I had to have 3 stitches - IN my eyelid. To this day, I am terrified that my kids are somehow going to inadvertently slice their eyes with a sharp object!

2. I was the tallest person in my sixth grade class...I even played basketball. Not having grown any taller since the age of 12, I still stand at 5'4" and I wouldn't exactly call myself "tall" now!

3. I worked at McDonald's my junior year of high school. {Would you like fries with that?} The funny thing is, I was extremely "food-conscious" at that time and hardly ever ate anything other than SALADS while I had my great 50% employee discount. In fact, I never even had tried a cheeseburger until I was a freshman in college!

4. I used to always sleep with TWO pillows. Now I only sleep with one. Odd.

5. I have this funny habit of crying while watching game shows. I have done this as far back as I can remember - even the good ole' Wheel of Fortune days when the contestants got to shop for trips, his and hers sportswear, and ceramic Dalmatians. Speaking of game shows, I love the Game Show Network, although we don't get it at our house...if I discover you have it at yours, chances are you will find me flipping the channel until I locate it! Did I mention that I am an awful channel-surfer?

[Ha - did you notice how I just stuck a few extra very unimportant, random things about myself into that one?]

6. I tend to be pretty "jumpy" - a trait that my husband and friends sometimes like to enterprise on! I recall one afternoon last year when my friend Kristi walked into my house whilst I was completely unaware. I happened to be downstairs in the laundry room, trying to make a dent in the perpetual pile of dirty clothes, when in leaped Kristi, full-bent on scaring the living daylights out of me. And scare me she did - more like terrorize! I screamed SO loud and SO long (and somewhere in there I think I crumpled into a laundry basket), I truly believe I frightened my dear friend more than she did me! We laughed for a LONG time after that one!

So there you have it, 6 very unimportant, random things about me.

As the tagging rules go, now I am supposed to tag someone else. BUT, since all three of my fellow bloggers I have who happen to read this blog on occasion seem to have already been tagged, I just thought I would mix things up a bit and tag all of the NON-blog-owning readers. Nope, you don't need to have your own blog to be in on this one! So, consider yourself tagged! :-)

Simply leave a comment (it's super-easy...if you don't have an account, you can always leave a comment by clicking on Anonymous) with YOUR 6 very unimportant, random things about YOU!

I can't wait to hear from you - all FOUR of you! :-)
