Little Known Facts About Me . . .

I am trying to blog more regularly but there are times I have a difficult time coming up with a topic.  I usually try to make mental notes when something happens to make that a blog topic but when I actually have time to write, the note has disappeared.  So, I thought I would just list some random facts about me that most people probably do not know.

I think I have ADD as well as a mild case of OCD . . . or CDO (the letters should be in order).  Sadly, I am pretty sure I have passed these traits on to Andrew.  Maddie seems pretty normal thank God.

I have mild hearing loss in my right ear and when in loud, hectic places I tend to only hear all the background din and have to resort to some lip reading to make sure I understand what is said.  So, if you are ever talking to me and I turn my head slightly, I am not ignoring you, I am just trying to hear you.

My normal body temperature is around 96.7 degrees.  Both Madison and Andrew have average body temps that are similar to mine.  However, I tend to be very warmed natured – while most people are cold or cool . . . well, I feel like I have some type of internal oven blasting.  I have been this way since I was a little girl. 

I do not care for sweets.  I do not eat many things like ice cream, doughnuts, cakes, cookies or anything that requires syrup.  In fact, the smell of syrup makes me want to throw up.  I do however, have an unnatural love of french fries and chicken wings. 

I played basketball in high school.  While I am only 5’2”, I was very good at shooting 3 point shots and handling the ball.  I also played softball, golf and ran track.  

I have never sang karaoke.  Although, I have been caught on numerous occasions singing in my office.  

I prefer metal and old rock to country and pop.  

I always wanted to have 5 children . . . all boys so I could have my own basketball team.  I am thoroughly happy with my two wonderful children I have now.  

Growing up I was teased relentlessly because of my very curly hair.  I also sucked my thumb until I was 13 . . . which intensified the teasing.  

I have a fear of loosing all my teeth and have nightmares on a regular basis of this happening. 

Hope you have learned something new about me.  And if there is anything you want to know, all you have to do is ask . . .
