I never do these things but Jenifer tagged me and I haven't posted in 2 months so I think I owe it to the universe...
1. I have moved 37 times in my life. I was quite bitter about it until about 2 years ago. I finally talked to someone who put it in perspective and helped me realize that I was quite lucky to have lived in so many places and to be able to make friends so easily.
2. I had jaw surgery when I was 16 years old and was in the hospital for a week. It completely changed the way I looked and when I went back to school (after being gone for a month) no one recognized me. Note: this was not for cosmetic purposes - if it had been I would have gone for a much better look! :)
3. When I was a child all I ever wanted to do was grow up and be a business woman. That is all I would play with my sister - "office" - she always had to be my secretary. Now that I'm grown up and I got my wish to be a business woman I wish I could go back and concentrate all my energy on being a rich, stay-at-home mom!
4. The first time I saw my husband I knew I was going to marry him someday...but we didn't start dating until a year later.
5. I'm constantly intimidated by people around me. I think most of my friends and family view me as a confident, capable person, however I second guess most decisions I make and I'm always certain that people believe I'm an idiot.
6. My favorite movies are musicals. A short list is: The Sound of Music, Grease, Oklahoma, Mary Poppins, White Christmas and Funny Girl. I'm a sucker for a good...or bad musical.
7. I've had several surgeries in my life. I didn't have abusive parents but I apparently have horrible genes! :) Some of my surgeries: tubes in my ears (3 years old), appendectomy (5 years old), tonsilectomy (14 years old), jaw surgery (16 years old), c-section (28 years old), surgery on my neck (29 years old) - i've also had several broken bones and have dislocated my shoulder. Maybe it's not bad genes - maybe I have horrible luck!
8. I do not like animals. Never have. I have no desire to care for a dog, cat, fish, bird, etc. However, my daugther is in love with dogs. At some point in time I fear we will get a dog and I know I'll hate every minute of it. Growing up we had pets in our house - cats, dogs, fish - and I was not one of those people that fell in love with the animal after we got it. In fact, I did everything I could to avoid the animal and for some reason that seemed to make the animal want to be around me more. Yuck.

Hey, your blog does exist! I'm totally with you on #5. Maybe that's why we worked so well together. We were totally intimidated by each other until we figured each other out, then we were unstoppable!!! :)
Hey, can you eat yet? We need to do dinner!
It was so fun reading this post. It made me miss you a ton though! We need to get together. How are you feeling? Any feeling on if baby is a boy or a girl? Love, Weeza
WOW, I never would have guessed number 5 was you! Never!
So, how are you feeling?
I loved reading this! I had no idea you had so many surgeries. You are a brave one.
How are you feeling? We need to do dinner! When do you find out if this wee one is a boy or a girl?
I don't believe #5! I am your sister and I just can't believe you to be anyone other than a confident and capable person. Are you sure you weren't describing me? Anyhoo- I knew you hated animals- but here is a funny little bit I will predict: Addison will talk you into or guilt you into (whichever way you look at it) getting a pet- a dog and you will fall in love with that little creature and have to eat your words. Okay that is my prediction- anyone want to make a wager? And by the way I will look stunning in my swimsuit (that is my dream)- thanks for helping me pick it out! Okay and lastly- you've tagged me - just so you know I've been tagged before and I felt no obligation to comply- so we'll see. I will however join this blogging bloggers world someday (my goal is by the end of the summer), and at that time I will comply with your tag! P.S. Stay cute and cool and have a fun summer! Janie
Laura, you asked about my prediction for the economy: brace yourself. Save money. Get out of debt. I don't think things will be good. That's my prediction.
Hi Laura,
How's it going, I hear you are expecting. Congratulations! Hope you are feeling OK. Your post is cute. I am definately with you on the whole animal dislike thing. I honestly have no desire to ever have a pet. I just don't like them, and I really don't want to be responsible for one either. I will avoid it as long as possible with my kids. You'll have to check out my blog, daveloniandkids.blogspot.com
