Tagged Twice

Okay, so two people tagged me - Michelle and Cristina. I hope that doesn't mean that I have to come up with 14 random/weird things about myself.

1. I worked in a factory after my freshman year of college making Trane A/C units. It was actually an amazing experience and I met some really cool people. It totally changed my opinion of blue collar workers - for the better. It was one of my favorite jobs b/c I loved the mindless repetition and it's the only job that's ever given me two 15 minute breaks (go union!!).

2. I can put deodorant under both arms using my right hand. This totally freaked Kevin out on our wedding night. I had no idea that everyone else is so inefficient as to switch hands to do the other armpit.

3. Since we've been married, I've started talking in my sleep. I've shared rooms with several roommates over the years and no one has ever told me that I do this. Kevin and I both talk in our sleep now. We usually ask each other questions to figure out what the sleeptalker is thinking about. When I start to wake up, I get really grouchy when I realize I'm talking non-sense.

4. My college roommate and I went to Galveston for the weekend - spur of the moment. It turned out to be some Kappa Beach Party weekend. We were the only white girls in town. Some hotel took pity on us so we could get a room.

5. Another Galveston story. My college Bible study had a devotional in a Galveston hotel and we had lit candles. The wax got all over the floor and we spent the entire night buying irons and wax paper at Wal-mart so we could try to get the wax out (it was a lot of wax!).

6. When I was 16, I flipped my car, not even a mile from my house, the day my permanent driver's license came in the mail. My dad pulled the car back to our house and it sat in our back yard for months until we got it repaired. That sounds a bit redneck doesn't it.

7. I've killed two possums... when I was 8 months pregnant. Our dog Holly had mostly killed them (two separate occasions) and I wanted to put the poor thing out of it's misery so I wacked it over the head with a shovel. I know, I'm so graceful. Wanna guess who kills all the bugs in our household?

Now I'm supposed to tag people, but I don't like that kind of pressure. If you are into these things, consider yourself tagged.

Here are the rules:
1. Link to your tagger and post these rules on your blog.
2. Share seven facts about yourself on your blog, some random, some weird.
3. Tag seven people at the end of your post by leaving their names as well as links to their blogs.
4. Let them know they are tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.

"so I wacked it over the head with a shovel"

Bwah ha ha ha....this was hilarious! I can't tell if I can see you doing this or not! lol.

Also - Stephen and I both talk in our sleep - Stephen gets mad when I ask him questions, too.
