uh-oh ive been tagged...

okay, so i think i am supposed to list 8 interesting facts about myself? Not sure i am all that interesting...but i'll give er' a shot:

1. I vacationed in the Caymans growing up and always told my dad i wanted to move there and work as a "waitress on the beach"...well, i did it while at UT w/ my friend Steph and told my roomies i was going to find my husband bc all the guys i dated in college sucked...they of course all thought i was nuts...but about 6 months laters he followed me home....4 kids later...here we are! Sometimes i think he secretly wants to escape back to the island! ha.

2. I AM CRAZY! Seriously i know some of my closest friends know and i have discussed but if i try and do things out of order during the day I CANT! I normally ship stuff out in the morning..the other day i had a meeting and went home in the afternoon and bc it wasnt "emtanner shipping hours" i could NOT do it...really not exaggerating....I repeat I AM CRAZY!

3. I am CRAZY For the smell of rubber tires (like in the big you know "tire stores")....okay this will really prove how crazy i am...i noticed this when pregnant w/the twins...i would go to work w/Kris (it was a tractor place that smelled like this) and just disappear and go huff rubber tires...Kris knew about this but i did it discreetly....i still do it! i mean i want to run over to the wal-mart tire dept. just typing about this...so NOT KIDDING about this either! If I could just make Yankee candle come out w/the rubber tire scent i'd be in HEAVEN!!

4. I prefer plastic silverware for ALL meals bc i cannot stand for metal to touch metal...i cant even be in a room during the holidays when everyone is cutting up food...at my parents everyone knows NOT to do this but when more people are around i just try and disappear rather than try and explain this wierd obsession...So excited...Kris just brought home 600 plastic spoons that werent used from a work seminar or something..yea!

5. I was supposed to be crippled...the doctors told my mom i wouldnt be able to walk bc of how i was doubled over while she was pregnant...came out and fooled them all! Havent stopped since...pretty sure after they saw what i was like that was why they decided to make me an "only child"...dad tells me this all the time..he also used to tell me my "real dad" was coming to pick me up...he would seriously let me get a suitcase and bawl! and his brother told me santa got killed on 411 (the kingston pike in maryville)...hell, no wonder i turned out like i did!

6.I have had maybe 8-10 zits EVER in my whole life! and i DIDNT get ONE SINGLE stretch mark after having 4 babies (and a twin pregnancy)...thanks mom!!--dr. newton says genetics is the only explanation for this one!

7. i am soooooooo totally addicted to diet dr. pepper....i am not even going to reveal how much of it i drink a day! cant even begin to function until after 2 of them in the morning!

8. EVERY NIGHT i lock myself in the bathroom and sit it my HOT HOT (i mean i look like i am scalded) cast iron (so it stays HOT...i think that's what it is called...cast iron???) tub and read either people or US or flip through catalogs or read photoshop mags/books for about 2 solid hours...i keep redrawing water and everyone in the house knows this is OFF LIMITS...they all leave me be! have always taken a bath...every night of my life!! get it from my auntie linda i think! in fact headed to watch the Hills and then retire to "the tub"...good night! egt

Oh my Em. Rubber Tire smell? At least my smell fetish actually smells GOOD :) Mine is fresh cut lumber.

But the scalding hot bath with People or Us? The separated-at birth-syndrome continues...
