Awhile back I was tagged by a friend and was therefore supposed to share 7 things on my blog that most people probably wouldn't know about me. It's not too hard to think of 7 things that most people don't know. It's really hard to think of 7 things that anyone would really care to know. Simply put, my life's just not that interesting.
But I have 30 minutes until Eden wakes up from her nap so let's see how fast I can put this list together. Hmmm.... thinking, thinking....
1. I married my first real boyfriend/first real kiss. What I'm not counting: the boy I kissed on the cheek on the school bus on our way home from kindergarten, and the boy in eighth grade whom I agreed to "go out" with via a friend on Friday afternoon and then broke up with (again through the same friend) on Monday morning without speaking with or seeing once in between. There are pros and cons to marrying your first boyfriend (I've made ALL my relationship mistakes with him, but have no other relational baggage, etc.), but hey, we'll have been married 8 1/2 years a week from today, so I guess it worked out pretty well!
2. I love cemeteries. I always wanted to live next to one, and I got proposed to in one. I know it sounds morbid, but I just think they're really neat pieces of history. And they're places of deep significance to so many people. One of the houses I lived in growing up actually had 3 Civil War era graves in the field behind it. So cool.
3. The sound of metal scraping on glass, porcelain, or other similar materials makes my teeth hurt. My parents own a set of dinner plates that I absolutely cannot bear to eat off of because of the noise a fork makes against them. I'm sure a lot of people don't like that kind of noise, but is the teeth hurting thing normal? What's that all about anyway?
4. Along similar lines, the blue Otter Pops make me cough. Actually the blue flavor of any brand of those ice pops (Fla-Vor-Ice, generic, etc.) makes me cough. I must be allergic to the dye or something, I don't know. It just makes my throat really itchy. But only the blue ones. And only in those kind of pops - not in any other kind of candy or desert that I know of.
Eeeek!! Only ten minutes left! And I'm running out of ideas...
5. I once had a cut on my finger stitched up by my dog's vet. To make a long story short: I worked for this vet in high school, cut my thumb really deeply while opening a container of cat food, refused to go to the hospital because I had just been there after a car accident and did NOT want to go back, and my vet was kind of excited to try stitching up a human being. So I got 3 stitches in my thumb. It went totally fine except my thumb wouldn't numb very well so I could feel the needle most of the time. Still better than going to the ER!!
6. I once put a fishhook through my brother's ear. Imagine you're a little girl who just learned how to cast a fishing rod and you want to practice casting off the end of your grandpa's dock. Now imagine that you are that little girl's older brother who is standing at the end of the dock, and that your sister just nicely asked you to move so that she could practice casting. Hadn't you better move? Answer: YES, YOU'D BETTER.
7. I like luxury. I guess this one probably isn't very original or surprising - I mean most people like luxury, right? As a kid though I was a total tomboy and was always out tromping through the woods, getting dirty, etc. Now, I really don't like camping that much. I still really like being outdoors, I just want to come back to a nice cabin with like a jacuzzi and a big screen tv and a really good dinner waiting for me. In fact, awhile back I made a life list and one of the items on it was that I wanted to stay in the best room of the Ritz-Carlton someday. Or some sort of penthouse-style room that celebrity-types stay in. It's not that I like extravagance - I think I'm actually a pretty simple girl - I just really like being comfortable (and lazy). Don't know if that distinction actually makes sense.
Okay, there you have it! Seven things about me that you probably never knew before. I'm not going to tag anyone else, but if you see this and have a blog, I hope you're inspired to share your own seven things. Or, you can do like my other friend and just share a list of things you're thankful for. Probably a better idea actually.

I didn't know that you liked luxury, and I am kind of surprised, because you seem to be happy with things simple, as you said. Not that it is a bad thing, but it is original and surprising to me. And I can not even imagine having stitches without being numb. That doesn't sound remotely as good as going to the emergency room, but I guess I don't know the particulars of your last visit. Thanks for sharing.
