10 Random Things About Myself

I think this may have started with a friend of Dara's, and it has spread like wildfire! And now I have been tagged by Jenn Adair to list 10 random things about myself. I have loved reading everyone else's, but now that I am here trying to write this post, I am just drawing a blank! OK, I am a woman, and totally incapable of really drawing a blank (Angela will understand that!), but I am drawing a blank on 10 random, yet profound, things about myself. ARGHH!
Well, here is goes:

• I think I have the opposite of anorexia. I think of myself as very thin, yet the scale and the size of my clothes indicate otherwise.
• While attending BYU, the only food I remember eating for the 9 months that I was there was Pepsi and mini-marshmallows
• It took 4 Universities for me to graduate from college, and when I did finally graduate with a degree in Economics, I realized what I really wanted to do was be an optometrist, so I went on to college #5 to get the needed background in the Life Sciences
• I did not follow thru with Optometry School, but I did become a Mom, which is something I was not entirely sure I would ever do:)
• Doing laundry use to be one of my most favorite ways to relax...until I became the mother of 2 pre-schoolers
• Thanks to my cutie husband, I have a room devoted to paper and crafting, but I have yet to scrapbook for my sweet girls
• My spiritual gift is in paper
• Depending on who I am talking to, I claim St Louis (and the suburbs of Kirkwood and Florissant), Collinsville, IL, and West Des Moines as "where I am from"
• I think that eating and going to the bathroom are complete wastes of time
• I have no trouble making time for e-mail and blogging!!!

And now I am going to tag friends who having threatening to blog, but have not quite gotten there. I hope this is good motivation!!!
