I have been tagged (unless it's another Holly... which is entirely possible... but I think it's me!) by my friend Linda for a game of ten things you might not know about me. So here they are!
1. None of my 3 kids came to me the normal way... two were by C-section via NICU and pancreatectomies and one came via adoption!
2. I love I mean I LOVE watching Monk. I can watch the same episodes again and again. I can also do the same thing with Keeping Up Appearances, but Monk is better. I find the shows extremely relaxing.
3. I am fascinated with people who live differently than me... cults, nudists, people with extreme body modifications and body art, communes, celebrities, people of other religions, people who eat bugs, Hutterites and the Amish, criminals, prisoners, and people from interesting places.
4. I have been trying to lose weight since I was 8.
5. My favorite ice cream is mint chocolate chip.
6. I have run a marathon and walked a marathon.
7. My favorite place in the world is the Trevi Fountain in Rome, Italy.
8. I have furniture with holes in it... but I take nice vacations. Perhaps my priorities are skewed, but I like to think that my kids and husband are only young once and I'd rather play with them than have nice furniture... course if I could have both... I would! Early in our marriage Scott and I decided that we never wanted to say,
"I wish that I had done _________________ but instead I bought a couch!"
9. I am really good at spinning things and reframing them. In other words, I am the ultimate "make lemonade out of lemons" girl. But I have my moments when I think... wait a minute... do I REALLY have lemonade... or have I fooled even myself and I'm sitting here with a big pile of rotten lemons?
10. I love to read. I could read until I turned into a pile of blubbery fat sitting on a chair without enough muscles to prop my body up. Thanks goodness I have kids and a husband to keep me from doing this.
I tag everyone who reads this post! Please post and let me know if you did it or not!

Oh my goodness... Now that was just embarrassing! Ack. It's amazing how fast the house can go from good to bad... And yes, I bought McDonald's for lunch. Ack. Double Ack.
