7 Things
Tania Sheko tagged me in a meme. So now I am sharing 7 things that my readers may not know about me.
Voila:
1. I have lived in Virginia all my life, but I have lived in 17 different houses (and only 4 in the last 16 years). My parents like to move.
2. I was born on my grandfather’s birthday…my mom was born on her grandfather’s birthday…and my son was born on his grandfather’s birthday. My mom and I were both born on a Sunday at 5:30 pm. Timmy and his grandfather were both born on a Wednesday at 1:40 pm. One of my students and I share the same birthday and it is also her grandfather’s birthday. (And my birthday is in 9 days so start picking out a card.)
3. When I was in sixth grade I ruptured my spleen running up a set of flagstone steps. I spent 2 days in PICU, a week in the hospital and three weeks at home in my bed in the middle of the living room. I had to lay flat on my back without getting up or even sitting up for three weeks, but my spleen completely healed.
4. I played on a three year undefeated girls lacrosse team in high school.
5. I don’t drink and drive because I buried two friends on the same day who did when I was in high school and I vowed to learn from their mistakes.
6. I was a telemarketer and I loved it and was really good at it.
7. The first time I ever ate in a restaurant by myself was two years ago when I went to Paris all by myself for a week. It was an amazing week.
So now for the hard part…I have to tag 7 more people.
Your birthday connections are very interesting. I’ve met people who have mysterious connections like that, but you have the most. Btw, I’ve already tagged Hiram. So now he’ll feel wanted.

It is freaky. I was trying to figure out how to add the theme from “The Twilight Zone” but it was taking too much effort so I gave up.
I made the mistake of not looking at who you tagged after I wrote it…oh well.
Thanks for tagging me.

I enjoyed reading your post on 7 things as well as the others and actually had fun doing my own 7 things post. It has been fun to get to know you.
