7 random facts:

1. I chew my hair... constantly. It's really not pretty. I have to pull my hair into ponytails or clips to prevent me from chewing on it. I have one piece of my bangs that REFUSES to cooperate and never grows longer than 3" so not long enough to pull back, but just long enough to reach my mouth for me to chew on. I seem to have a oral fixation or something. I chew my fingernails too. I sucked my thumb until I was a teenager... how does one get over this fixation? No clue, but I really should stop, I'm killing my hair.

2. I'm not very pateint. I'm immpatient with almost anything. I like instant gratification. I don't do much cross stitch anymore because it just takes so long. I get bored 'playing' with Arianna fairly easily - which is a shame for her. I can only read so many books 12 times or say YELLOW each time she presses the yellow button so many times before I start to gaze out the window and zone out - its bad. At work if something doesn't work after the first couple of tries I take a break and do something else because I'm frustrated (far too easily). But I'm learning - I'm much more patient than I used to be!

3. I drive stick shift - and LOVE IT! When we bought my corolla in '05 I special ordered it because I wanted the LE version with stick shift - which is hard to find. I just enjoy driving that more than automatic transmissions.

4. I love typing. I learned to type in 6th grade, taught myself. I can type over 80 words per minute and when I'm bored I find myself doing imaginary typing to random words.

5. I'm math deficient but enjoy abstract math - I find geometry and math patterns everywhere. My favorite is ceiling tiles and bricks - I can make all sorts of shapes out of them, calculate angles and find myself taking the time to count all the panels/bricks in a certain area. Ask me to do geometry and I'll laugh at you. I took algebra 8 times in college (due to transferring many times) as I was THAT bad at it, every time I transferred I had to start at the bottom level algebra class again. I finished with calculus and my degree in comp sci. How strange for my non-math self.

6. I'm not a good dieter. My size 8 jeans don't fit anymore and I'm kicking myself. I think I've put on a good 7 lbs. and I can't get motivated to get outside and go for walks (me and cold don't mix). We're getting a new DVD player for Christmas and then I can have one in the basement to do my exercise DVDs by... but what will I do until then? Get fat, obviously... grrrr...

7. I miss my baby terribly when she's away. I find myself falling more in love with her lately. I find myself having to scoop her up to hug her more NOW than when she was a baby. Of course now I can't get those hugs or cuddle time cause she's just too busy being a toddler... this makes our decision to try for another easy but I feel like I missed out on Arianna's baby time cause she was so sick and I didn't really feel like she was mine - like I was just babysitting her for the time being, ya know? It's weird when your life starts with 3 months in the hospital... weird when motherhood starts that way too.

Now for people to tag...

- Jess - who is way to busy with twins to do this, but I'll try.
- Emily - who is way too busy potty training to do this, but I'll try.
- Jessica - who is way too busy with sick kids and school to do this, but I'll try.
- Lisa - who is way too busy with her two kids, but I'll try.


And that's all I got - anybody else, chime in!
