I don't know how interesting any of this will be, but here goes!!
1. I super hate mayonnaise. It even repulses me to write the word--I check my sandwiches (even ones I made) between every bite to make sure there is NONE. If it were a person, I would stone-cold murder their as*.
2. I am southern Church of Christ by upbringing.
3. I have a tattoo of an orange Taurus bull on my left hip. I am not a Taurus--I am a Gemini--I just really really liked the bull, waited four years, and finally got it. The problem arouse that it is pretty pale against my skin, so during my c-sections the staff thought it was a rash both times, but my doctor made sure to keep it intact =)
4. I had c-sections both times I had my kids--complications due to gestational diabetes--and I don't regret it for a minute. Still one of the best decisions we ever made.
5. I became obsessed with baby names during my first pregnancy, but it exploded into a full blown addiction when my in-laws hurt my feelings so badly over Emerald's name.
6. I am damnably proud, which can cause problems for me and my family...
7. My husband and I have a 16 month old and an almost 3 year old, but we are still both going to college--he goes online year round and works, and I stay home and attend during the traditional school year.
8. My dad was diagnosed with Hep C and Cirrhosis of the liver when I was 11 or 12--most of my teenage life, I didn't see either of my parents more than once a week because Dad was in the hospital and mom worked from 5am till 9pm and spent the nights in the hospital with Dad. It was pretty much just us 4 kids until Dad got a transplant in 2001.
9. I didn't want to date Mike at first--I wanted to just be friends with benefits (read: make out buddy) so that I could focus on school. He pushed me into it.
10. Since I was a little girl, I have had a deep fascination and love for medicine--practicing reading on my mother's science text books, and anything I could get my hands on. I wanted to open an adolescent oncology ward and research center when I was grown up. I still desperately do, after volunteering some with Teens Living with Cancer (TLC).
11. I have had over the course of my lifetime: chickens, ducks, geese, horses, pony, sheep, goats, rabbits, cats, dogs, rat, guinea pig, and parakeets, all while living on a half acre.
12. I only moved once with my family growing up--from one house, to the one next door. Michael on the other hand moved no less than 8 major times, and that doesn't count from one home to another in the same city.
13. We recently discovered that I probably have a hyper-sensitivity to tomatoes and can't eat them any more...which sucks because two of the staples down here (BBQ and Mexican) utilize tomatoes a LOT.
14. My husband and I are learning how to cook together--hurrah!!
15. Finally, my favorite bands are Queen, ZZTop, Led Zeppelin, Fall Out Boy, and Alabama =)
