OT, but my 5yo son was diagnosed with HSP last fall.

Guess I better finish this.

1. Cooking really stresses me out a lot.

2. I almost went to school to be an Architectural Engineering Technician instead of a Vet Tech.

3. I eat way to much junk food (and love it) and I hate drinking water.

4. I have an incredibly difficult time thinking of 10 things interesting about me.

5. I have recently been diagnosed with PTSD that stems from an abusive relationship I had in high school.

6. I am extremely terrified of bees (I'm allergic) and storms and torandoes (I panic).

7. I love riding dirtbikes, watching motocross, and college football (go Penn State!)

8. I just started playing golf (have gone 4 times sofar) and I am becoming very addicted to it.

9. I am happily married and we have a 6year old son (Cameron Ezra) and a 14 month old daughter (Alexis Ciara) and they are excellent kids.

10. I love love love studying anything related to the vet field (ecs. anesthesia) and would love to become a Veterinary Technician Specialist in anesthesia.

1) I am deathly afraid of snakes, but they seem to follow me (i.e., copperhead in the garage, milksnake in mom's house).

2) I have three ureters (most people have two.) Because of this, I spent a lot of time in the hospital from the ages 4-10.

3) I have the worst stretch marks in the world. Belly, thighs, even my calves. I guess that's what gaining 45 lbs during pregnancy will do to you.

4) Because of #3, I plan on having a tummy tuck as soon as we can afford it. I abhor plastic surgery, but in this case, I'm all for it.

5) I'm writing a book about motherhood and the toilet, kind of Erma Bombeck non-fiction humor style.

6) I published an article my junior year of college, "Archaeology and Pop Culture: Exploring Misconceptions." Who knew that a research project focused on Indiana Jones could result in a scholarly article.

7) Both of my children are named after characters in Edgar Allen Poe works. Annabelle Leigh and Madeleine Camille (I took some liberty with the spellings.)

8) My sister and I were named after Little Women. Wev'e got 3 out of 4 names- Amy, Meg, and Beth.

9) My husband's family are hillbillies in the truest, kindest sense of the word. They are actually from the hills of Arkansas, a very small town called Lead Hill to be exact.

10) My pet peeves are people who misprounounce words and who are consistently late.

I can't believe I actually just read this whole thread

1. I can tie a cherry stem in a knot with my tongue.
2. I can't stand the feeling of a strand of hair on my hands if they are wet (like the hair that falls out while your washing it.)
3. I,too, never liked cats until my husband and I got our first one together. Now I'm hooked:0
4. I had my gallbladder removed about 2 years ago.
5. I am obsessive compulsive. I count things instead of the usual "handwashing."
6. I have been parasailing at Table Rock Lake in Southern Missouri, that was pretty cool.
7. I am usually a very sensitive person.
8. My whole family, including my husband is left handed except for me.
9. Every year at Thanksgiving and Christmas my entire Dad's side of the family sits down together for dinner. There are over 30 of us!
10. Once in highschool I had my sister break up with my boyfriend for me over the phone because she and I sound exactly alike.

1. I have a food allergy to citrus, pineapple, and tomatoes that causes my tongue to break out in welts...but I eat citrus and tomatoes anyway.
2. I finally managed to convince my husband that the Gators rule.
3. When I was 16, I developed a peculiar rash and the doctors thought I had syphillis, but I didn't (hadn't even gone to third base yet)
4. Since moving to CO, I've developed acne, roseacea, dermatitus, and eczema.
5. I love ginger ale and ginger beers, but don't particularly care for ginger bread or ginger the spice.
6. I once painted my bedroom at my stepmother and dad's house bright teal with peach trim. The room would practically glow. My college room was painted candy colored sea green by mistake while shooting for sage and my current bedroom had another green mishap, but it's tolerable. I'm bad at picking colors
7. I wanted to elope
8. I don't like mixing fruit with savory flavors. For example, I loathe teriyaki chicken with pineapple on it, won't touch hawaiian style pizza, frown on fancified fruit 'salsas' served with meats, etc...
9. I was raised lutheran, but my family left the church after my parents divorced and I haven't been back since. Unless someone gets married in one.
10. I consider the divorce of my parents to be a great thing as my life has been much enriched by my stepparents, stepsisters (and their subsequent families) and my halfbrother

8. I am a home body, just like being at home. Was never really into partying to much.

9. I don't like Lipstick, the taste is gross and I don't like the feel of it on my lips.

10. The first time I ever tired Marijuana was this year and I'm 31.
Why I just decided to try it now and not when I was younger, I have no idea!
