Let's play 5 Things
Tell us 5 things about you that are either interesting, weird, flameful, something your proud of...makes us all feel inferior to you...whatever it doesn't matter what it is. Add PIPs if you want.
I'll try to start:
1. I have scoliosis. I had surgery for it when I was 10 where they fused two titanuim rods to my spine. For 6 months after the surgery I had to wear a full body cast, think joan cusack in 16 candle, except it was an actual plaster cast not a brace and it was up to my neck the only area where there was no plaster was my chest. Thank God, I didn't have braces because THAT would have been mortifying.
2. I was in the marching band in HS. It was fun. And while most are considered dorks who are in the marching band (rightly, so). I think it would be kind of neat if my phantom kids were in it...but of course, they'd be the cool kid who changed the way people look at marching band nerds.
3. Because I still LOL at this. I sent Michael Jackson a get well card after his hair caught on fire. LOLOLOLOLOLOL
4. If I'm away from home for more than 2 days I get really home sick. I hate traveling because I love being home. I traveled a lot as a child because my dad always lived out of state so this could be what started it. When we have kids I will suck up my travel anxiety and take them places.
This is a traveling flameful: We went to India for our honeymoon. I did not enjoy myself at all and I flame myself for this now.
5. My flameful. I have two cats both of whom I love dearly. My boy cat is, well my boy, I've had him the longest and he's a people cat and needs to always be where his people are. He also likes to cuddle. My girl cat is more shy and I got her to keep my boy cat company. It took a long time to bond with her...a long time..years. She's finally come around and we snuggle sometimes and I love her to death. Anyway, you ever hear of how people get their animals stuffed when they die? I have seriously considered this.....thankfully my husband is all 'HELL NO!'
Your turn...
Re: Let's play 5 Things
Chicken your number 5? Your flameful?
It's me and my hubby too!!!!! My fur baby is so soft like a bunny and has beautiful green eyes I always tell my DH that when he goes I'm stuffing him and putting him on our bed. It totally creeps out my DH but I'm glad I'm not the only one who thought it!!!!
Gotta think about the rest I'll be back later. . .
This is fun!
Chicken, can't believe you went to India for your honeymoon! That sounds like a lot of work and all I wanted to do on our honeymoon was sleep (well, you know what I mean)
Here are my five:
I told my husband I want to have our pug stuffed and we could use him as a step stool. As for the other 4:
1. My daughter refers to wine as "mommy juice" in public. When she sees another adult with a wine glass she points and says "look mom, she's drinking your juice".
2. I ran a 1/2 marathon at 34.
3. FLAME FREE: I am convinced Tim Tebow is a porn addicted serial killer. NO ONE is that decent of a person, not even Mother Teresa.
4. I like to work out between 2-4 because of the very hot 20 yo boy who works there. He is not bright (often looks confused when arranging kettle balls by weight), but he is soooo PRETTY.
Chicken, the MJ thing still cracks me up!
OK had some time to think about it. I will use Chicken's #5 for my #1 because I seriously thought about. (MAH love the pug footstool idea!) I just want to make sure that everyone knows I would never do it though!!
#2 I feel bad because I get paid to work a 40 hour work week but I really only work about 30 hours. I'm not cheating my boss he knows my hours but I still feel guilty. I have to be at work at 11:00AM and I get to leave at 5:00PM. (I have to say it comes in handy now that I have a 2YO)
#3 I absolutely hate to fly and my Dad (is) and Grandfather (was) pilots for major carriers. They always told me that I had a better chance of dying in a car crash than a plane crash. I told them plunging to my death in a fiery ball was more likely to happen in a plane not a car!!! In spite of this hatred I have traveled a lot.
#4 The first item on my bucket list is to see the Northern Lights. I think it would be magical!!!
#5 I predicted my infertility. Growing up I always felt like it would not be easy for me to have children and it hasn't been. Not sure if this is a self fulfilling prophesy or I just married a guy with just enough issues that together we are a right mess. I even asked my DH the other day (on the way to the RE) if he thought if we had both married other people and they were both super fertile, if we would have still had issues. He looked at me like I was crazy and said "Now you're just over thinking it!!" (That's why I love him!!)
LOL! I love this one!
1. When I was in 4th grade I was an extra in a TV commercial for Kings Island theme park with D1ck VanDyke. (he was... um, not sober & mean to us kids..)
2. I could sit in bed and read books all day long and do nothing else...
3. I'm growing my hair out to donate to locks of love.
4. Flameful = I POAS a few days ago just because my bb's were sore & my temps were up (BFN of course)
5. I still remember the address of the first boy I ever kissed (when I was 14)
I drug myself for long plane rides, it helps a lot!
Fun game
My 5 will be more "flame worthy" confessions than fun facts. I am B-O-R-I-N-G.
1. I have been in school for a very long time. I have an MD and a masters too. I work long hours and am accomplished (I don't mean this in a bragging way, flame free right?), but honestly, I'm tired of it all. I want to give it up. I would love nothing more than to be a SAHW, or work part time, or do all volunteer work in a pet rescue!
2. My flameful: I like animals more than people. I think I should have been a vet, but then I think I would be a basket case every single day and would not be able to cope emotionally. Maybe this is why I am able to do what I do instead.
3. I love doing nothing. I can sit in my house all weekend with DH and our furbabies watching tv and being on the internet.
4. I hate talking on the phone. I never answer the phone and wish everyone would either email me or text me! I think I see so much sadness and I get so heartbroken telling parents and children bad news all the time that it is hard for me to listen to other people complain about things that I know that are problems for them, but are hard for me to empathize with. I have been known to tell my family that there are much much worse things that can happen.
5. This is gross but I have gone a whole weekend without showering. EEEWWW! I know, I know...disgusting. Don't hate me. Even DH thinks this is gross!
OK, other than #1, we could be the same person LOL
Really? That is super neat!
I have also tried to grow my hair out for Locks of Love, but my hair was cut in layers so they would not take it! I hope it works out better for you than me.
I'm gonna pick and choose from everyone else's
Shyn: My shameful moment is from King's Island (I lived in Columbus for 12 yrs). DH and I went while I still lived there and I was getting sick on all the rides so I had to take a dramamine! I felt like a very old lady!!!

#2 & #5 definitely!!! I work in retail and I come home everyday and tell my H how much people bug me!
Shyn-I donated mine to Pantene through their Great Lengths program you only need 8" instead of 10". The only difference is Locks of Love is for children cancer patients and Pantene is for women cancer patients. If this doesn't matter I still had hair a little under my sholders after donation!! Awesome cause though!!! -JM
Hmmm... That is a thought too. Besides, I do have some grey in my hair so maybe the Pantene program would be better. I'll look into it. Thanks JM!
Chicken all my favorite people were once in their HS marching band. I couldn't march and play my instrument at the same time so I was on the danceline instead.
I loooove to travel. I can't swim. Those two facts made snorkeling the Great Barrier Reef and Sea Kayaking the Pacific NW scary rather than fun.
shhh don't tell: I'm not a natural red-head. ( I've heard that if you color you can't donate to Locks of Love type places. Is that true for Pantene?)
I think we probably joked about stuffing out golden retreiver but what I really and seriously wish I had done is made yarn out of his super-soft fur so I could have a blanket.
