"Seven Things You Really Didn't Want To Know About Me and Because Of That You Never Thought To Ask"

1. I had the "starring" role in a jr. high play and still remember all my lines. I was the Ghost of the Christmas Clock written by my 7th grade English teacher. I was on stage the entire play...but the ghost never spoke.

2. I dropped out of nursing school, even though I was getting A's. Let me just say the world is a better place without me as a nurse.

3. I was voted quietest girl in my high school senior class. Quiet is not a word most people would use to describe me now. I'm not only loud, but every once in awhile I cuss. Not quite like a sailor, but I can put quite a sting of expletives together in rapid fire.

4. I use an insulin pump to manage diabetes. This involves inserting a fairly long cannula needle into my abdomen and attaching it to tubing and the pump. I've been asked if I had an MP3 player on my waistband. "Nope." And I gleefully offer to show them how an insulin pump works...as they flee.

5. I wannabe a runner but all I've got is stinky sneakers. I want to complete (I used to say run) a marathon before I die...and considering I can not jog to the end of my street I probably would die if I tried this soon. My short term goal is a 5K walk this year. That I can do.

6. I am not supposed to be married to Usually Darling Hubby. I found him through a personal ad and just expected him to be a rebound guy for a few dates while getting over a long, unhealthy relationship...God had other plans.

7. I require at least a full day to recover whenever I take my daughter to church. I'm not sure if this is more a reflection on my daughter's personality, my physical/mental health, or this church. Probably a mix of all three.

I'm not going to tag anyone, but leave it open for anyone to play...
