My friend Becky over at Boys Rule My Life has tagged me for the 7 Things Meme. She and I have whined talked a little about the fact that our sons ADORE Thomas (the train that is). In other words, she feels my pain and therefore we are bonded for life.
The Rules:
1. Link your tagger and list these rules on your blog.
2. Share 7 facts about yourself on your blog, some random, some weird.
3. Tag 7 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.
Okay, so here goes some random weirdness…
1. I loved to water ski as a kid. It took me a while to get the hang of it but once I did I thought it was SO. MUCH. FUN. I wish I had the ability to water ski now. But I don’t have a boat or skis and have you seen my thighs lately? You haven’t? Well that’s good.
2. I separate my silverware by putting the forks together, the knives together, and the spoons together in their respective compartment in the dishwasher so when I take them out I can just grab the whole set to put in the drawer. Does anyone else do this? I have had a couple of friends lately who thought this was weird. I personally think it’s efficient.
3. I had a perm once that lasted for almost 2 years. It finally had to basically be cut out of my hair. Now THAT is random.
4. I am pretty good at mental math. I have this thing about rounding to tens and it helps me do things quickly in my head. Even my CPA smarty husband has been pretty impressed by my abilities. Now Algebra… forget it.
5. I brushed up against Oscar de la Renta after a fashion show in NYC while there on a college trip. I was so excited to even be in the same room with fashion greatness.
6. I love to look at houses. I would be a realtor if I just got to look at houses all day and didn’t have to actually sell any and work on the weekends, etc, etc.
7. I have three older brothers who all shared a room growing up. On one wall of their room were two shelves of collected beer cans. Some of them were really cool actually. The funniest part though was the fact that while sitting in my parent’s living room one day, they all came crashing down. My mother DID NOT put them back up. I am pretty sure she loosened some of the screws. I mean do you blame her?
There you go, seven random tidbits. Riveting, I know.
As far as the tagging goes, I will throw this out to these gals and if you want to do this great, if not, no big deal. Some of you may have already done it too… this seems to be a pretty common one.
Have FUN!
Nice list. I could never water ski. I was too scared of a shark or an alligater getting me!
haha I would love to see some perm pics! haha
Hey! I have done a couple of them,

Thanks for the tag! I was hoping it would give me some fodder for a post but now I am all bailing out and using my old ones 🙂
I like the idea of the silverware in the dishwasher, I should do that but I am far to disorganized when I throw, er I mean load the dishwasher!
Thanks for the tag. I actually just did this one the other day (3/22) and posted it here:

Since I just arrived home from a LONG visit to the allergist/ENT with the big kid I am going to pass up repeating it. I hope this counts though 🙂
Thanks! I needed this to get me back in the swing of things. Check it out at

Those were all interesting things about you. The dishwasher thing is strange, but makes so much sense and I don’t know why I have never done this!!!
Thanks for thinking of me for this meme! Have a good evening – see ya – Kellan
I have considered the silverware thing, but then don’t the spoons kind of line up together and not get washed too well? Ya know? Maybe I’m just strange like that. I do face them all up though. 🙂
Thanks for playing tag!
My mom sorts her silverware in the dishwasher too! I don’t like it because I think the spoons have the potential to stick together and not get clean enough…plus everyone at my house is expected to rinse and place in the dishwasher…this can’t have too many other restrictions or it might not happen.
The fact that you are good at mental math makes me thing you are a GENIUS! Woot woot!
You don’t seem any wierder than the rest of us! So glad to hear about the ’rounding to the tens’ though – this is what my son’s 1st grade math program teaches and I love it (it just makes head- math so much easier)! http://www.alabacus.com/
The silverware thing makes sense too -whatever works, right? 🙂

Hello I just entered before I have to leave to the airport, it’s been very nice to meet you, if you want here is the site I told you about where I type some stuff and make good money (I work from home): here it is
Funny you should mention the silverware thing. Since I made that observation at your house, I have started to separate my silverware and it is more efficient!! Thanks
Every perm I ever had had to be cut out of my hair – they never relaxed! I so relate! (I only had 3 in my life) I would ask for a body wave they would give my PERM! No one listened to me (or was it that they really just didn’t know what they were doing?)
