TMI?

Yes, thanks to Alexia at Alexia's Books and Such, you get to learn ten semi-interesting facts about me. She gave me "The Sugar Doll Award." If you haven't met Alexia, be sure to check out her blog. I've enjoyed getting to know her over the past few months.

Since I've already shared "interesting" facts several times before, I am trying to think of non repetitive facts.
Here's the rules:
• Thank the person who gave this to you.
• Copy the logo and place it on your blog.
• Link the person who nominated you.
• Name ten fun facts about yourself.

1. I have had two broken bones. The first was caused by my daughter when she was eighteen months old. She accidentally hit me in the nose with her hard little head. The doctors at the ER never believed me when I explained how my nose had been broken.

2. My second broken bone was caused by Sassie (probably on purpose.) She spilled her water bowl all over the floor. I slid on the water in the middle of the night and fractured my knee.

3. My worst trip ever was on a business trip to Mexico with Bryan. His coworker's wife died suddenly while we were there. Bryan spent his time at the funeral home trying to arrange to have the body released to be sent back the US. Not a relaxing trip for anyone.

4. My children believe my purpose in life is to torment them with educational activities. When Bryan told me he couldn't go on vacation this summer, he suggested I take the children somewhere. "How about New Orleans or Washington, DC?" I asked.
"No!" They said, "You plan to make it into an educational trip!"

5. My house seems to be a teenage haven. Last night, three teenagers showed up at our door and asked if my daughter had arrived home yet. They decided to wait for her in her room. Instead, they came into the bedroom with me and told me about which pictures I should download from their facebook accounts and feature on my blog.


6. I am unable to sew. I took one year of sewing in high school and people mocked my creations the entire year. I can't say I blame them. They were awful. I do sew buttons and ripped hems but that's all I can manage.

7. I picked out my daughter's name when I was eighteen. I didn't use the name until six years later.

8. I won the Four Year Creative Writing award in high school and participated in state English competitions.

9. I enjoy reading, but the worst story I ever read was "The Lottery" in a high school English class.

10. One vegetable that I absolutely cannot stand is brussel sprouts. Yuck!

I'd like to share this award with all my bloggy buddies. If you write out your ten facts, be sure to let me know so I can read them.


Alexia also gave me the "Blogger Buddy" Award. It's awarded to the top twelve most frequent commenters on one's blog. While I usually share my awards with everyone, I want my commenters to know how much I appreciate them. I guess I can't regift it to Alexia, but she is a great blogger buddy.

Thanks to all my commenters, I love to hear from you all. You are all great and I enjoy reading your comments--except for those silly spam comments in Chinese.
