Seven things ...

My step-sister, who is waaay better about keeping up her blog than I am (in fact, she puts most bloggers to shame), bestowed this upon me:


So, in the spirit of "man, I guess I gotta do it," here it goes!

The rules are as follows: List 7 random things about yourself and pass it onto 7 honest bloggers.

1. I don't like reality TV, but for some reason, I could spend all day watching America's Next Top Model. Not sure why, I guess it's the 13-year-old in me judging yet envying beautiful, skinny women. But I still don't like Tyra Banks. Sorry.

2. I don't consider myself a materialistic person, but I love, love, love shoes! Not the $400 Jimmy Choos or anything (don't even know if I spelled that right), but regular, everyday sneakers, sandals, boots, etc. I have too many, but always want more!

3. In high school, I wasn't a particularly fun person. But on a weekend trip to Birmingham my senior year I did moon a bunch of truckers. I won't tell you what my best friend sitting shotgun in front of me showed those truckers! Let's just say we got several honks and headlights flashed (hint!).

4. I was in a Japanese commercial as a child. They actually wanted my best friend to do it, but she was sick. But since I had blond hair too, I could fill in. I got paid $200 (or whatever the Yen equivalent is).

5. Secretly, I always wanted to be a dancer. I guess it's not much of a secret anymore.

6. Before my son was born, I was always paranoid about having an ugly child. Obviously, that wasn't the case. But now I realize that even if he had been born with three eyes and both ears on the left side of his head, I would have thought he was the most beautiful child I had ever seen.

7. Growing up my dad always told me: "You'll never know how much I love you." I would always roll my eyes and groan "Da-ad, yes I do." Well, turns out my dad was wrong. I did figure it out. It just took 26ish years and having a child of my own before I knew what he meant.

Too bad I don't know 7 bloggers. So I'll pass it on the few I do:

McBaby and More
Fricknits
What the Springers are Doing ...
Southern Foothills Cookery

Oh girl! The blogging keeps me away from cleaning. That's the only way I'm able to keep it up!

Ok, the mooning. I would have totally expected that from Rocky, but YOU? SHOCKER!!

That list reads startling much like my own would. I too hate reality TV but inexplicably love America's Next Top Model. I also love me some shoes. I'll wear the same five outfits week in and week out but my feet always look spectacular! Alas, I have never mooned truckers. You are way ahead of me on that one.

Fun list!
