A tidy dozen things about me
Well I guess I freaked out some blogger friends because I was a bit surprised about the lack of comments on my last post. Anyway...I have decided to further alienate you by telling you a bit about myself. I have always been a bit jealous when I see other bloggers getting tagged for things. I feel like the last kid picked for the cool team in gym class. Since nobody has asked, here are a few tidbits about what make me ....well... me.
1) I am a worrier. I worry about things that I have absolutely no control over so it really is a waste of time but I can't stop it.
2) I talk to my animals like they understand what I am saying...because they do.
3) When I am watching TV I don't always look at the actors in the scene. If there is a crowd scene or city street background I am scanning the sights instead of automatically looking at the actors speaking.
4) I hate walking on wet grass with bare feet. Actually I hate stepping in ANYTHING wet (except the shower of course).
5) I never drank coffee till I was 47. One day I was driving with S1 and we stopped at McDonalds and he got a cappuccino. It smelled so good I tried it and loved it. Now I am a drinker of Hill's Bros. French Vanilla/Fat Free cappuccino at least once a day, sometimes twice.
6) I don't drink the coffee when I first wake up. I have to drink a cold drink first thing, even when it is cold outside. It is either Peach Sna@@ple or Lipt@n green tea, citrus flavor.
7) The little inserted cards in magazines drive me crazy. When I get a magazine I go through and rip them out.
8) When I was a kid I was certain that I wanted 13 kids. Yeah I was crazy.
9) I also thought that if I accidentally swallowed a watermelon seed I would grow a watermelon in my stomach (see, I even worried when I was a kid)
10) As an adult I have realized that I had ADD as a kid. I completely zoned out in school and I wonder what my grades would have been like had ADD meds been around back then. ( I NEVER opened a book or did any homework in high school and managed C's but I will NOT EVER admit this to my kids).
11) It really pisses me off when people identify my kids when saying something stupid like "she has 3 kids, one is adopted" WTF...they are ALL my kids you asses.
12) I wish blogging had been around when I was younger. I wouldn't have felt so isolated when we were going through the IVF crap or adoption wait.
Well...there are a dozen things about me. I will stop now, leaving you begging for more.

Who gives kids those thoughts, that if they swallow a seed it will grow into whatever?! I thought the same thing about watermelons, but just the black seeds...
I don't know if I would have blogged when younger, but I really wish I had known about it when I was pregnant with XBoy. I could have used those posts when I'm feeling particularly crappy.
Let's see, I have the following in common with you: #1,2,3,4,6(though I drink water, milk or OJ). My cats are my children - they even have 'pet' names just like my daughter!
I share in numbers 1, 2, 4, 7, and 9!
Super cool idea. I'm going to copy yours and put it on my blog. When I can think of 12 things about me that is. :) Oh, and loved the previous post. Amazing story.
Not only do I talk to my animals, but they talk back. I've decided that our dog is a rapper trappend in a canine body, another has a country western twang to his voice and the girl is 8 but still talk s like a baby.
Guess, I need more friends!
Great post...I would tag if I knew how....
Must make that my new goal....
Learning how to tag....
