Here are my seven random facts...but really since i did this a way back i have to think of 7 more things, this is hard. i am not that interesting.  lol

1- i am double jointed, i used to sit with my legs bent completely back as a kid, drove my mom nuts (among many other things i did)  i blew out my knee at 23 and had my acl replaced , so maybe mom was right and sitting like that WAS really bad on my knees.

2- i sucked my thumb for 11 years (stop laughing) ok a little back story in my defense... i sucked in utero, how do i know this?  when i was born my thumb was purple and my mom thought i had broken it in a blanket or something, doc looked at it and said no that is a callous she has been sucking her thumb inside you and this is what happens.  so i had done this since before birth!  the roof of my mouth is concave.  the bone formed to the shape of my thumb, i thought everyone's mouth was like mine, but nope all of you have flat roofs in your mouth, not me.  i sucked all the time when i was little, but as i got older i would fall asleep and then the thumb would go to the mouth.  of course i had horrible buck teeth from this.  when it came time for braces my orthodontist instructed my mom to ace bandage my arm straight at night so i could not bend it to my mouth.  no joke.  so that is how the habit got broken.  crazy huh?

3. i have 2 tattoos.  a sun and moon combo in color on what was once a flatter stomach/hip area, after taylor, but pre kellen and casey. then my hubby and i went together YEARS back and got inked together (awwwwww  LOL)  so i have a design in black on my lower back. would i get another?  yes but something really thought out and with meaning.  do i regret the ones i have?  no, they are a part of me, a part of my history and where i was in my life then, i kinda like that.  do i wish my stomach was a fine piece of flat art and not a flabby stretch marked sun and moon?  heck yeah!   

4. i did not do pregnant well, ever!  all 3 times i had "hyper emesis" translated i threw up 24-7 and then some.  for all 40 weeks.  and i had girls and a boy so that wives tale went out the window with me.  i was literally the color green, i lost weight, not gained, i was hospitalized and put on iv and then chemo drugs to keep me functioning. and yes i did it 3 times!!!!  i always hoped with all hope that THIS time will be better.  no dice.

5. i am a fish. i love the water. i swam before my mom even knew i really could. i was on the swim team by age 7.  i woke up ate breakfast, put on my suit, walked to the pool, and lived at the pool til dinnertime and went back for late night meets.  i smelled of chlorine and my hair was like straw and my feet raw from the rough concrete surface of the pool, and it is some of the best memories of my childhood. 

6. i played the bells (glokenspiel) in the marching band.  yes band geek. 

7. i was born blonde and was blonde through high school, my kids are all blonde but everywhere we go people look at me and say where do they get their blonde hair, i feel like i need to carry a picture of me in my wallet for such occasions to pull out as proof.  each pregnancy my hair darkened and well now it is almost black with more grays than i like to admit.   but yes i was a blonde.
