Versatility

I've been tagged! The fantastic XLMIC, who I recently discovered after the blog world took HTC by storm, tagged me with the Versatile Blogger award! Thanks! (and if you don't read her, go CHECK HER OUT!)

1. I loathe shopping. It does not make me happy. Even when I am shopping for something I REALLY want, it's not fun for me. If I had the cash, I'd gladly spend it on a personal shopper, for real.

2. Some of you may already know this, but after calling myself a runner for more than a year and a half now, I have never in my life run on a treadmill. While I am oddly proud of that fact, I kind of want one. But then again, I kind of don't.

3. I got married in Vegas. And although I did NOT get married in an Elvis chapel (which I will admit a teeny part of me regrets now), my husband still managed to bring Elvis into the day...

They wore those glasses when I walked in with my Dad - I totally cracked up

Please ignore the crayon drawing I scanned for my daughter that you can still see - I am much too lazy to rescan...

4. I have a ridiculous fear of public speaking of any kind. At the same time, I wanted to be a professional singer when I was young. I can sing on stage, no problem. But ask me to speak? Horrible. I read one of the readings at my Grandmother's funeral mass, and still, at 40 years old, I thought I was going to fall over, my legs were shaking THAT hard.

5. Besides my aspirations for a career in the music biz (*snort*) when I was young I wanted to be a doctor. Right up until college, when I was registered "pre-med." I wanted to be a pediatrician. Somewhere near the end of my sophomore year, I realized JUST how much school (and DEBT) that involved. So I bailed, and ended up with a Medical Technology degree (read: lab rat). I'm not sorry, and if I were to go back to med school, I think now I'd probably end up an ME instead of actually working with the living...

6. One of my very earliest memories is camping with my family. I was laying there VERY early in the morning before anyone was awake, watching a spider snake its way down a string of web just above my sleeping bag. I'm still afraid of spiders.

7. After dealing with sickness this week (hence the radio silence) I can honestly say that I'd take 4 sick kids over ONE sick husband. Any day.

I'm supposed to tag people, but I am a lazy procrastinator, so I'm opting out. Play along if you want to, though, and let me know - I LOVE reading these!
