8 Random things you didn’t Know about Me
- I have a HUGE fear of failure. And, it appears that in
worrying constantly about failing I rarely, if ever, enjoy the rewards of
success.
- I love puzzles. I don’t have much time to enjoy them these
days, but I really love a challenging Jigsaw puzzle. I love them so much that
once I start one I can’t stand ANYONE touching them. This is probably because I want
to say that I completed it myself. One time I noticed someone had touched
my puzzle… I immediately went out and bought two huge shopping bags of jigsaw
puzzles. I had toddler puzzles all the way up to challenging adult puzzles.
This way there was no need for anyone to touch my puzzle…. they can easily
find their own puzzle to put together without touching mine.
- I love making people smile - Truly…. I love it!! I would
rather make people smile than doing something for myself. It gives me such
a good feeling to see a smile on someone’s face and knowing that I have the
ability to make someone happy.
- Tennis is my Sport of Choice - I love to play tennis!!
Am I any good? I think so…. But, even if I wasn’t I wouldn’t care. That’s how
much I love it… I just want to be playing. Last summer I bought my 11 year
old all the supplies he needed to play tennis. Did he ask for them? No. But,
this way I could have a tennis player available whenever I was ready to play. Good thing
he loves to play too.
- My Best Friend is my Younger Sister - And, she is one of
the most talented
and beautiful people that I know. I credit her for my online success as
she is the one who introduced me to Web Design years ago. Plus, she is one
of the few people that on a very difficult day could make me laugh till I
cry or pee my pants…. whatever comes first.
My sister Rachel, my father, and myself. I was six.
- I give birth to Monster Babies - No lie. My largest baby
was my daughter. Hannah weighed 11 pounds 12
1/4 ounces and she was born the
OLD FASHIONED WAY a week earlier than planned. The doctors had no idea how
large she was until she was born. It reminds me how amazing the human body is.
My daughter at a couple minutes old. 11 lbs. 12.25 oz.
- I love Musicals!! - They are amazing to watch and I leave
feeling totally satisfied. Musicals are filled with multi-talented people
and I love watching that. It reminds me of the wonderful times I would spend
with my Grandma. Her and I would sit and watch old movies together. You know,
the movies with Ginger Rogers and Fred Astaire. I loved watching movies with her.
- I have a Chronic Illness - Up until this point only a very few people know about this fact. I got very sick in July of 2006 and finally in August of 2007 I was diagnosed with Systemic Lupus. Lupus is an autoimmune disease that can affect various parts of the body, including the skin, joints, heart, lungs, blood, kidneys and brain. My immune system is overactive and attacks my own body parts. Unfortunately, the form of Lupus I have is the most severe…. my immune system is attacking my Central Nervous System and Brain. The diagnosis is still quite new and I am trying to deal with how my life has changed and will continue to change. I continue to morn the person I was prior to diagnosis and that is one of the hardest things I had to go through thus far. Some days I feel quite well while other days it is so difficult just to get out of the bed in the morning.
So, there you go…. 8 random things about me. Some you might not have known and others you might wish you still didn’t know about me. But, like it or not…… it’s me.
