Tagged-- Six Things you may not know about me.

1. I had a tatoo on my shoulder removed. (Painful!!!!)

2. I ran a marathon. The first person I saw when I crossed the finish line was George Bush Sr. and he said, "Atta girl!" I wanted to ask for his son's ph# but I was 99.9% parched.

3. I used to love writing when I was younger and would write little novels and keep them in notebooks in my bedside table. I got older and read through them and got embarassed and threw them all away. Sad.

4. When I was in middle school I pushed my two front teeth together until I closed my own gap. (My mom said we couldn't afford braces).

5. I sucked my thumb til' I was ten and my great grandma offered to pay me $100 to stop. I promptly did.

6. I am REALLY good at remembering names. I can be told your grandma's neighbor's niece's boyfriends name one time and ten years later I'll be able to recall it. Too bad I can't seem to remember useful information.

Tags are fully optional, of course, but I'd like to hear from any and all of you kind enough to read my blog. I really love nothing more than learning new things about people so, humor me!

YUCK!

I once ate a rotten raisin. It was the craziest kind of disgusting I have ever experienced. I have eaten frozen grease that I thought was ice cream, a cup of egg yolks that I mistook for orange juice and a glass of juice that was half full of dishwashing liquid. So it's safe to say I'm no stranger to the nasty. But nothing and I mean NOTHING compares to a rotten raisin. It was so bad I was wiping my toungue on my shirt and trying not to cry. I was eating these raisins while driving my kids to school and I had no drink with me. I actually swerved, narrowly missing an oncoming car. Sarah says she believes it was a bug rather than a raisin and she may be right. Whatever I ate didn't even have the consistency of a raisin! It was grainy and gritty. This is what makes me believe I could be on Fear Factor. I feel nothing they could make me eat could be as foul as a rotten raisin!

What's the worst thing you have ever eaten/drank?
