In the Scope and Tagged

The only thing on my mind is moving, so luckily I was tagged by Lemon Blossom.

The instructions: "I quickly write 8 random facts/habits about myself, and then tag 8 people. If I tag you, you had better play."

1. I was blind as a bat until January of 2001, when I got Lasik surgery. Since then, my eyes have been better than perfect. I am really glad I did it. (thanks LB for inspiring this tidbit)

2. One of the things I am most looking forward to about quitting is not having to figure out what to wear to work everyday. This is a very silly little issue, but between a growing belly and working at the same place for over 5 years it is hard to come up with business outfits everyday. I stand in my closet every morning bored of it all.

3. Last week, there was a news report about how people with a lot of moles tend to live longer because there is a correlation between them and some age defying genes. My husband looked and me and told me I would live forever. I guess I am admitting that I have a lot of moles blended in with my freckles.

4. My fingers are really long and thin. It is hard for me to buy standard rings because of this. My wedding ring is a size 4.5.

5. The new hair growth that comes after giving birth is still annoying me. The little ringlets in front of my ears and all the little fly-a-ways on my head make me crazy. Perhaps knowing that it will get worse again before it gets better makes me even more frustrated.

6. I have had the same car for almost 10 years. It is too small, but I love not having a car payment. I paid it off in 3.5 years, so this car has more than paid for itself. I’ll probably throw in the towel once I give birth to the next baby.

7. My maiden name is still on my driver’s license and the name I use at work. It is on my driver’s license because I hate the DMVs in South Florida. I refuse to go unless it is absolutely necessary and it hasn’t been. This is my protest. I use it at work because I started working there before I got married and it was easier. This will all change when we move to Texas.

8. My passport has expired. That probably isn’t a big deal for most people, but the idea makes me feel trapped. Getting it renewed will become a priority when I finally get a moment to breathe even though I don’t have plans to travel outside of the US.

Tagging 8 people is not that easy, but I will go with Princess & Johnsy, PageWize, A Comedienne’s Sidekick, Sofi, Anna, Reformatting (if you aren't too busy with the new baby), Aerin, and anyone else who might be interested.
