Belly be gone!

ok…i’ve been tagged!  :)  i was gonna post my 7 regardless…this makes me think of my favorite “ice breaker” — 2 truths & a lie.  i have my favorite 2 truths that i use - but they’re so outdated!!!  :)  they were from when i was a teenager / in college.

ok…my 7 facts…

1.  i once went repelling down a cave…and at the bottom of the cave was a bunch of goat, uh, excrement.  i was so scared to do it, that i was either the last or next to last person to do it.  and when i got to the bottom, i realized it went too fast & i wanted to do it again!

2.  i danced drill team in HS and i loved it.  i quit my senior year because i couldn’t stand the girl who was captain, which sux because i really enjoyed dancing.

3.  in HS i tried to be different…somewhat alternative…but i was never really hard core alternative.  i tried to go against the norm and what all the “popular” kids were doing b/c i was never quite in the popular crowd…although secretly i probably wanted to be.

4.  i love still trying to impress my husband.  i’m full of random facts and useless information…but when i know something that’s kind of technical or related to tools or building something - stuff he’s into, i’ll tell him in context of what we’re talking about…and ask him if he’s impressed that i knew that fact. 

5.  i feel very fortunate to still have a grandfather alive (he’s in his 90s).  my grandmother passed away this summer, and she was 86.  i’m sad that my other grandparents passed away when i was younger and i didn’t know them as an adult, and they didn’t know me as an adult.  i am also very fortunate to have met both of DH’s grandmothers - who’ve unfortunately passed since i’ve been w/DH.

6.  i love to snorkel.  i wish i liked to dive, as DH LOVES diving.  i took a lesson in the pool at the hotel during our honeymoon, but i had a hard time clearing my ears.  i would love to be able to go diving w/DH (even though it does kinda freak me out), b/c he has pix of some really neat things he’s seen.

7.  DH & i have different stories of how we first met.  we’re only off by about 6 weeks…but he should realize that i’m right, as i remember EVERYTHING!!!  :)  i kinda stalked him til he asked me out!!!  i’d email him, IM him, and he had no choice to ask me out!  apparently i impressed him during our first date when i tried octopus (sushi)…and i haven’t eaten it since! 

now…if you haven’t written your 7…well, what are you waiting for?!  i’m tagging you….
