8 Random Things

Hey, folks! I've been tagged by Kate and Susie for 8 Random Things. (I feel like Sally Fields at the Oscars because of this. Well, and confused that I can't link to Susie's blog...)

Here we go:

1. I have to post these rules before I give you the facts.
2. Each player starts with eight random facts/habits about themselves.
3. People who are tagged need to write their own blog about their eight things and post these rules.
4. At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.
5. Don’t forget to leave them a comment telling them they’re tagged, and to read your blog.

Now my 8 things.

1) Sunday afternoon/evening is pampering time for me. Sometimes I take a nap, I grocery shop w/ Mr. M (no, this is fun for me, really), I do my nails (fingers and toes), sometimes I henna my hair. It's a very nice way to wrap up the week. I feel like I have to be tough all week, and I get to be soft on Sundays.

2) I make the world's best pie crust.

3) I went to 13 schools, kindergarten through college. We moved a lot growing up.

4) I was a cheerleader in high school and college. I dated no football players, but we should probably not talk about my history with band members.

5) I am painfully bad with math, except word problems. I can solve word problems easily, but often cannot do the same function in a normal equation.

6) I weigh half of what my husband does, but easily eat twice as much. A college roommate once said that I eat like a trucker.

7) My mother and I have the same first name. I hated not having my own name growing up, putting up with the annoying jokes ("HehHehHeh... can I call you Junior?"). I used to buy baby name books, and think about all the things I might call myself when I was old enough to choose my own name and have it legal changed. (I kept my name.)

8) I'm extremely uptight about protecting my skin, but I loooove to be in the sunshine. I feel like I have a solar panel.
