Tagged Pt I

Hey all!

I've been tagged a few times and boy this one was a hard one! I just had to write a bio for work and it's really hard to talk about yourself.

Without further ado, here are 6 random facts about me:

1. Milk. I hate milk. I used to love my mother’s macaroni and cheese until I saw her make it – never ate it again. If I pour milk into a cereal bowl, I have to hold my breath so I can’t smell it and I never, ever will empty milk down the drain (especially expired milk). I prefer chocolate ice cream to vanilla because it leaves less of a milky taste in your mouth. I love cheese and mashed potatoes and other things made with milk but refuse to “picture” the process that has gone into making them.

2. I’m a control freak. I like to be in control of pretty much everything. The exception to this rule is deciding where to eat when we eat out. Can you be a control freak but not like to make decisions? I think I like being in control post-decision making. Wow... I'm odd.

3. I hate, hate being tickled. It makes me want to cry. On the same note, I love Halloween, but I hate haunted houses or having someone sneak up on me. In college, we went to a haunted house and a person jumped out from behind something and touched one of us. That was it for me – I wasn’t sure if I was going to cry or wet my pants. :-)

4. If sleeping was an Olympic sport I could totally win the gold medal. Last Friday, around 7:15, I was laying on my bed trying to will my headache away when Andrew and Keith came in the house. Andrew saw me in bed, climbed up with me, undressed, got under the covers and said night, night. I told Keith I would be out as soon as he fell asleep. At 10:30 Saturday morning I woke and realized I was by myself. Knowing that I am a gold medal contender, Keith let me sleep as long as I needed to. Granted, prior to July 8th (Andrew's Gotcha Day) I was a much better contender for the Gold Medal. Now I'm lucky if I sleep past 7.

5. When I was a kid I was playing doctor and decided I needed some nose medicine. I shoved rocks up my nose – far. I don’t really remember what happened after that – maybe they had to be flushed out?

6. I’ve always wanted to be a teacher. So why didn’t I go to college for it? My parents were both teachers and I wanted to do something different. I’m now in the IT field and while I love resolving issues and figuring things out, I would still someday love to teach. (This coming from the person who knows she’s not cut out to be a stay at home mom but who instead thinks she can handle 30 of them??)

Now my task is to tag 6 others.
