6 Random Things About Me
1. I have a very, very, very hard time keeping up with sunglasses. I typically got through around 5-10 pair from April to September. I either loose them, or break them. The longest I ever kept a pair was about a year. And no, I have no idea where they are now. My husband has had the same pair since we married almost 8 years ago.
2. I hate beans. ALL beans. Well, except GREEN beans, but I don’t really count those. I can’t stand the smell of them. The texture of them makes me gag. They are just horrible. And it’s sad because everyone in my family loves them and they are really good for you. But I just can’t do it. I can’t eat them. Bleck!
3. I love to cook (except beans, natch!) but I hate, hate, hate the cleaning up. It severely impairs how often I cook. And I even have a dish-washer, and I don’t mean the hubby! I’ll be glad when the kids are old enough to do it for me!
4. I have missed a couple of windfalls. Not long after I started working for my current company (almost 8 years ago) a fellow co-worker tried to get me to buy a new little stock called Marvel. She said it would skyrocket after a nice little movie called Spiderman came out. She bought it at $2.80 or so a share and continued to buy a couple a week for months. She sold hers at around $8 a share. Today, it’s worth around $33. I almost did it. Almost and now I often think of how stupid I was.
We won’t even go into how I considered buying Google stock.
5. I have Cherokee blood. Just a drop really; my grandmother was half Cherokee. I guess it explains my stick-straight, dark hair and tendency to be rather dark skinned. I tan very, very easily.
6. I have a doppelganger. Don’t you think? I submit for your review:
For that matter, what do you think of him?
Geez I used to be cute. Wonder what happened… Anyway, there you have it. Are they a couple of little mini-mes or what? Poor kids. Actually though, Wesley looks more like my dad. With the hubby’s lips.
And there, Nancy, is that picture of me you’ve been wanting.

You’re beautiful!!! Very young, also. Now, just slowly age yourself forward in photos. You can do it. If you were that cute as a kid, you can’t be too ugly now.
Thanks for playing. I sorely wish I’d bought some Google stock but the only stock I ever bought plummeted. I’ve stuck with mutual funds, since then.

These were fun! I’m lucky to have a love for all beans, cosidering it’s difficult to be a vegetarian and avoid them.
You know, in my house, we’ve always had a rule that if you’ve cooked dinner for everyone, you don’t do any clean up: perhaps you could get that one started in your house? And your childhood picture is just too adorable.
