7 random things about me...

I've been tagged by Kim

1. I remember dates pretty well. I'm kind of a freak of nature. I see a calendar in my head and there's names all over the place on certain dates. Growing up I thought everyone had a calendar in their head. It's really bad to the point where someone will tell me a day that something is going on and I'll say, "That's so and so's birthday or anniversary or so and so's due date, but really had their baby on such and such a date". I try really hard to just think it and not say it out loud cuz I get a lot of weird looks like I'm crazy.

2. I LOVE LOVE LOVE newborns! I wish the newborn stage lasted a full 6 months to a year. They are soooo cute and little and cuddily. My baby is almost 2 and it's so strange that I am not expecting another one....a good thing though. I need the break!

3. I slept with my baby blanket till I was 25. As a kid if I forgot to bring it to sleep overs I would have my mom bring it to me. It was no secret I HAD to have it. After I got married Chris wondered if I would ever give it up. I honestly thought I never would. After 6 years I weaned myself from it. It went like this: from hugging it every night (I never sucked my thumb and smelt it like some) to putting it above my head between my pillow and the wall to it landing on the floor once and I didn't HAVE to pick it up...immediately, to eventually putting in the hall closet. And guess what? It's STILL there! Trust me, it's an impressive feat. I see it every now and then and think, "Oh look, my blanket" and then I manage to walk away. I still love it. My mom told me once I should cut a square of it and frame it and use it as decor! I don't know what the hell she was thinking!!! She's crazy to think I could ever freaking CUT it!!!

4. I wish I could play piano. I am really pathetic and listen to George Winston and will lay in bed with my eyes closed and picture myself playing with a huge audience watching me and thinking wow, that girl is sooo talented! Lame, I know. I will take piano lessons someday! But I'm sure I'll never be good enough to have a huge audience at a concert. I'll have my own concert with just my family...and my friend Corinne cuz she's going to teach me :)

5. I want to be a flight attendant. I want to work like 2 to 4 times a month and have all the flight benefits so I can take my family where ever I want and travel a ton and make lots of memories.

6. I pee my pants a little bit almost everyday. I really do. I have I guess what they call incontinence. Or something like that. It use to only happpen when I had to run after a child running into the street or jumping on the trampoline or when I yell really loud. But now it is to the point where I am just standing there making dinner or walking down the hall. I have a friend that has the same problem, I won't name any names, and she checked out the surgery you can have to fix it. BUT one of the possible side effects is loss of sexual function. So we both decided peeing our pants a little everday isn't so bad.

7. I laugh when people get hurt. I seriously can't help it. If you stub your toe or smash your finger or run into a garbage can while riding your bike (Annelise) I WILL laugh. I try soooo hard not too. Chris gets so mad and I have to hide my face. If someone got hurt so bad like getting hit by a car I WOULD NOT laugh. I would freak out and most likely be useless in that kind of an emergency. Or if an old person fell and broke their hip, I WOULD NOT laugh. (note: I have not experienced either one of these. It's just an assumption that I would not laugh.) I do have to say, that I don't laugh when my kids get hurt. I think it's just other people my age or older.
