8 Random Things About Me
|
I've been tagged by Valerie and I'm suppose to come up with 8 random things about myself.
Here are the rules:
1. Each player starts with eight random facts/habits about themselves.
2. People who are tagged need to write their own blog about their eight things and post these rules.
3. At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.
4. Don't forget to leave them a comment telling them they're tagged, and to read your blog. (copied from Valerie's site)
1. I hate going to the doctors. This one is on my mind because I was at the doctors with Little One today. Second appointment this week. Yuck! I have had so many appointments with my children (I'm guessing about 80- 100 in the last 3 years) that I just absolutely hate to go. I hate it so much, I will not go to the doctors for my own health unless I absolutely have to. I've got a lot of health issues of my own (exhaustion, limbs going to sleep on their own for no reason, pains in all my muscles, poor memory, can barely move my neck, to name a few) but I hate going to the doctor so much I won't even get checked out. Ok, I'm done venting!
2. I took 2 years of French in highschool and 2 quarters of Spanish in College and I know from this experience that I really stink at foreign languages. In highschool we were suppose to sing the French National Anthem in a small group. I "sang" it with two of my friends and lip sank the whole thing. I got an A on it. 
3. I'm a real picky eater, so I have a lot of sympathy for my children when they don't like something (even though my son (ds10) doesn't think so). We tend to fix them something else if they don't like what we are eating.
4. My favorite movies are not very "girly". I like action, sci- fi, fantasy and disaster flix the best. I do like dramas and romantic comedies but if I have to make a choice I usually choose the former unless I'm in the mood for a laugh. But I HATE horror films! It's pretty great because my hubby and I pretty much like the same movies and tv shows, so that is how we spend a lot of our time together.
5. I HATE, HATE, HATE to exercise!!!!! Ok, my health problems kinda play into this. It's really hard to get started exercising when you feel really bad, but I wouldn't really like it even if that wasn't case.
6. I'm so forgetful that I stick post -it notes all over our bathroom mirror. They have been so abundant at times that hubby had to move them to shave.
7. My favorite color is purple. (ok, I'm having a hard time coming up with things!  )
8. I took astronomy in college and was actually good at it. (Now I'm really grasping!!!)
Btw... speaking of Valerie.... I've you have not checked out her website you really should. She use to write for PBS but now write books for homeschooling. She even offers freebies. She also has a yahoo group that you can join.

The ONLY second language I was good at was American Sign Language. I am a kenestenic ( sp?) learner and I did great at this language b/c I got to move and think in pictures. I am very right brained too. (0= I am so sorry about your health and having to go to doctors. I hope things slow down for you. This was a fun read. I did my meme of eight and tag of seven. There is even a reversal tag too.
God Bless my SSiC
In Him<><

I've always said I'm the pickiest eater in the family. Since I do most of the cooking, I choose the menu, but occasionally I'll make something that everyone likes except me, like shrimp. Oddly, they love my shrimp recipe, but I've never tried it.
I'm also love purple and sci fi and fantasy, but I like funny movies over all. I need to laugh.
You don't hate exercise, you just haven't found the right exercise yet. Keep looking.
I understand how you feel about doctors. That's why I taught myself about alternative remedies. But if you're hurting that much, it might be time. Just my humble opinion. :o) Once I know what I'm dealing with, I can more easily study my problem and find alternative remedies to help myself.
Peace and Laughter,
Cristina
