8 Things Meme


Tagged

ccw tagged me:

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

I'm not really saying anything my family doesn't already know:

1. I cannot sleep unless my sleepwear covers my elbows and knees and does not ride up over them while I sleep, and I must have at least a sheet on me no matter how hot it is. Luckily, we have air conditioning.

2. My hair color is still natural despite my "advanced" age. The curls are not. I've had a perm so long, only my husband, my parents, and my siblings know what I look like without one, and my youngest three siblings probably do not remember for themselves, only from photographs.

3. Being lost makes me literally nauseous. Bugs, snakes, wounds: no problem.

4. I don't give a rip about shots, but mess with my blood vessels -- take blood, start an I.V. -- and I try to pass out, although I've never actually done so. (Thanks, Dad.) I have to have blood work done at least once a year, because...

5. I have no thyroid any more. The cancer they knew about when they yanked the first half wasn't malignant, but the one they found after they sliced it and shoved it under a microscope was. Luckily, it was the non-inherited form of that cancer, so we didn't have to go testing the kids and possibly slicing them open, too.

6. I have three brothers and three sisters, and I am an only child. (Five half-, one step-)

7. I have no first cousins (except in-laws) but I can tell you the difference between a second cousin and a first cousin once-removed.

8. I consider "move" (as in "move house") just as nasty a four-letter word as any word that I might leave the vowels out of to keep from being bounced by some profanity-searching software.

I refuse to absolutely tag anybody specifically, but I encourage Chicken Without A Head , Misplaced Midwesterner , and Brave Sir Robin to play. Other'n that, play 'em if you got 'em.
