Tagged! yay!

Let me just start by saying... I LOVE being tagged... it makes me feel loved and I think they are so fun to read and write!  So I've been tagged 3 times with the 7 wierd things about you thing... and I would have only been tagged once, I'm sure, except that I have been living and breathing baz biz and have had NO time to post... So... thanks for your patience...and a bigger thanks with a cherry on top for tagging me :)

I've been tagged by Jenny, Doe and Niki. (oops!  And I got tagged by Claire too!)  And here's how it works:  I get tagged... so then I have to list 7 wierd things about myself, then I have to go and tag 7 more people and they have to do it and so on :)

So here's me and my seven wierd things:  1.)  I am a nerdy math whiz.  I did algebra in sixth grade, and I can do crazy math in my head, but I can not spell for beans, and it takes me a really long time to read anything.  I'm a terrible reader.

2.)  I actually believe that being pregnant made me a little bit dumber... IQ wise, than I was before.  I was still in college when I had my first, and school was much harder for me after I got prego, and it was harder for me to retain info, and I attribute that to the fact that my blood was probably circulating more to my uterus and less to my brain.  And I'm not joking... I really believe that and it was even worse with the second one.  However... my hearing and smell is INSANE now... I mean off the charts!  I'd rather be smart than a good smeller, so that's a bad thing.

3.)  I have hella anxiety when it comes to bridges.... especially if they are over water and I'm not good with steep cliffs on the side of the road either.

4.)  I always harrass my mom that she's a packrat and that she needs to throw more things out instead of storing them... but then she'll make a pile of stuff to go to charity, and I'll take half of that pile home.... hmmmmm... how does that work?!  Who's calling who a packrat! LOL!

5.)  I majored in child development because I was a bartender while I was in college... and I never really wanted any other job... so I just figured that it would be a good thing to major in since I would some day probably use what I learned on my own kids.  And it turns out I was right.  So my degree is not worthless... my kids reap the benefits everyday.  I'm well aware of their cognative development, gross motor skills, and social/emotional limitations!  LOLOLOL!

6.)  I listen to that am radio show called Coast to Coast every once in awhile.  It's all about aliens and ghosts... and it TOTALLY freaks me out, so I can't listen to it very often, but if I'm really tired and I need to work, I can turn it on because then I wouldn't be able to sleep anyway, so I can work longer.  Does that make ANY sense at all?!

7.)  I have a special place in my heart for Jimmy Buffet because my husband and mine's first date was to a Jimmy Buffet concert.  So here's to pencil thin mustaches, cheeseburgers in paradise... and my personal favorite... let's get drunk and screw.  (and I don't go to tanning beds anymore because I'm way toooo busy to be that vein anymore... but when I did, I always used to listen to a JB cd while I was in there.)

that's it!  I did this once before here... so that's really 13 wierd things I've listed about me (cause the first time I did it, it was only 6 wierd things :)  And now I get to tag some gals... so here goes!

Amy, Heidi,  comfits,  Cupcakes for Clara, Shannon,  MamaUrchin, and Lisa

you all probably thought I was going to tag Nicole huh... well I know she won't do it... so next time.  LOL!

I share your bridge anxiety. *shudder* The first time my dad ever had me drive on the interstate, he made me cross the Delaware Memorial Bridge.

I heard somewhere that being pregnant can make your mind work slower. So maybe you're on to something!

i've been tagged :]
i'll be making up a post this weekend...i have to narrow down a list on this one!

okay...so i'm amazed by your list!!! it's the 2nd one...IT IS TRUE!!! i know it is because that's what i've always said! i even told my college advisors & teachers. my husband always said i was insane for thinking that, but i don't think so...and neither do you :]

also...i have a hard time w/ bridges as well, but more specifically, those things underneath that hold them up. those giant cement columns that go under the water...they petrify me! we went canoing once & i thought i was going to die because i couldn't get paddled away from one. i really don't think i've been more scared in my life!

lastly...my husband & i used to listen to coast to coast!!! hahahaha!!! we haven't been able to pick up reception on it lately. we just love it because the people crack us up :] although, i will admit i've had an eerie thing happen to me once. i'll have to find my old livejournal post about that one!

sorry for writing so much ;]

I love Jimmy too!! I've even been to Key West three times for the annual convention - I went with my dad and my little sister. My hubby can't stand him though!
