5 Slightly EmbarrassingThings Few People Know About Me

I got tagged by my beloved cousin Val. Love ya Val. :) Here are my 5:

1- I played soccer for one season in 5th grade. Our team scored a grand total of 1 goal the whole season. I braided my hair perfectly to one side with a huge scrunchy on the end of it at every practice and game. The scrunchy matched my jersey. One game, a girl kicked a ball right at my face and I got a terrible bloody nose. Somehow, I did not get a drop of blood on my jersey.

2- Starting in about 4th grade, I thought I was fat. I weighed about 55 pounds (I still remember that from our fitness exams in P.E.), and I thought I was fat. I had a friend who I thought was really skinny and cute. I always felt self conscious around her because I thought, "Man, she must think I'm so fat." The weirder thing is I did not break 100 pounds until I was almost 14 years old. When I look back on pics of myself in my childhood, I was so scrawny.

3- I have hair issues. I cannot stand taking too long to do my hair. Even before I had Caleb, I was like this, but not to this extreme. Nowadays, I blow dry and style my hair maybe once every other week, if I'm lucky. Most days, I workout, wash my hair, and put it in a ponytail, braid, or leave it to dry on its own. Blah. Yet, at the same time, I do not have the courage to chop my hair off. I just know I still wont style it, and it will probably look even worse short and not styled.

4- When I was in 8th grade, I was obsessed with Hanson. I went to two of their concerts, had posters on my bulletin boards, and bought every type of BeeBop, TeenyBop, etcBop magazine that had their pictures in it. I owned cd's and movies. I even went to the extent of going to Oklahoma to meet them. Never did, though, I was too scared to knock on the door. I was obsessed. Embarrassing.

5- I have a weird extended family with 4 grandmothers (2 birth, 1 adopted, and 1 step), 2 grandfathers, 10 uncles (3 half, 3 full, and 4 adopted), three aunts (1 full and 2 adopted), and about a million cousins. I know very well all 12 of the cousins and family on my mom's side. However, I can barely even name maybe 10 of the 50 or so on my dad's side.

I tag Sarah, Lori, Summer, and Kendra!

Yea, I was wondering when you were going to get to that!!:)

I want to see Caleb... I think we are going to come for Terry's talk but i wish I could see him sooner. Have you read about my running adventures?? Seriously I hate running!

Summer said...

Oh boy. This one might take me a bit......only five? :) Ha ha. I so remember your obsession with Hanson. I'll be honest, I never got it, but hey, you turned out normal, so I guess it's all a-okay. :) Ha. Sure love ya!

Boy, you've had a lot going on since I looked in last. I'm going to have to check in more often. It's fun to see these random facts about you. An obsession with Hanson huh? At least I can say I know who they are....whatever happened to them? I have a little obsession with a country music singer who lives down the street. Do you think I should get up the nerve to knock on his door?? I don't think so! It was fun reading and catching up on you!
