Tell All Tuesday

Alright, Camie tagged me awhile back... so... I've been tagged. Here's how you play: Once you've been 'tagged', you have to write a blog of 7 weird / random facts/ habits/goals about yourself. At the end choose 6 people to be tagged, listing their names. You can't tag the person who tagged you, since you can't tag me back - let me know when you've posted your blog so I can see your answers.

7 Random things:

1. When I was young I wanted to grow up to be a biology teacher. I changed my declared major on the first day of classes to Recreational Management with an emphasis in Administration and my minor to Animal Sciences. I got college credit for interning at my second dream job... as a 4-H extension agent... yep... high maintenance me fought my way into the boys club to chase around cattle and babysit teenagers. Come on... did you really think my calling was as a homemaking extension agent... ;)

2. I am a freckled freak. My arms... hands... thighs... cheeks... nose... are all telling of my Irish ancestry... see photo above of me on a light makeup day a/k/a no foundation/breather Saturdays.

3. I once quit my job as a legal assistant to go to cosmetology school... yep... I'm a beauty school drop out who never technically started... long story... and I would have never been able to do it all without Mr. Waddle's support. Lucky for me this "wise" decision only lasted for two months before I went back to work for Bossman No. 1 in a different capacity at a different office :) Thank God for Mr. Waddle's sincerity and patience...

4. At the same time I was running around the state of Utah visiting every fairground known to mankind... I spent my spare time working as a telephone operator. Yep... I have a face made for radio/phone operation ;)

5. I can cook but I can't bake. Contrary to popular belief there is a distinct difference between the two... and unfortunately I can only cook for a family of 10... I have no idea how to scale down my impromptu recipes... it's sad.

6. I am 30 and have no clue how or when that happened...

7. I can trip over the smallest speck of dust around. Walking down the boardwalk last year about this time of year with Mr. Waddles by my side I took a header on the square... Jim stepped down the stairs... I somehow missed them all and walked right off the walkway... and came to a stop with my ice cream in one hand and my purse in the other hand... skinned knees... ripped pants... and a boyfriend who was trying his best not to pretend he wasn't with me ;) Just last weekend I took a header down the stairs at my parents' place... landed on the second landing doing the splits with one leg up above my head... damn lucky I didn't end up with a spiral break. And yet they let me out of the house on a daily basis without my helmet :)

This is where I tag people... but I don't feel like calling anyone out tonight... so just play if you want to... and let me know so I can check out your answers...

Also... Shan posted this and I felt like playing along... so...

Four Things

A) Four places that I go to over and over: Work, Post Office, Bank, and Home... damn... I'm pretty boring...
