Random Facts

So, my sister tagged me a few days ago and I have been contemplating my 6 random facts since then. I even considered cheating and doing 3 for me and 3 for Jeff, but then I decided I would just go for the gusto and try to come up with 6 just about me.

Now, if you're tagged, here's what you do:
1. Post the rules on your blog
2. Write 6 random things about yourself
3. Tag 6 people
4. Please pass it on for fun...

1. I had several sets of tubes when I was a kid and hence have a lot of scar tissue in my ears. I realized a couple of years ago that this might be why I have trouble hearing so I often tell Jeff when he complains about repeating himself that it's not my fault...it's my scar tissue!

2. I have this sort of inate ability to get along with a diverse set of friends. I love it and it has been a wonderful way for me to become more culturally competent at work. I jokingly say, "I'm chocolate on the inside."

3. This brings me to my third random fact. I am great at one liners and often surprise myself with them in addition to everyone else. One of the girls in our Sunday School class claims that I am the funniest person she knows because I always catch her by surprise with my humor. I guess mostly because I am relatively reserved most of the time.

4. I find pleasure in the simplest of things. I can be feeling like everything around me is falling apart and if I get a Sonic drink, I am a happy camper again. I am actually known at work as the Sonic girl and my boss tells me every time she passes one, she thinks of me. When Jeff and I were getting to know each other, I wrote to him that "Sonic drinks make me happier than anything in a Styrofoam cup should!" And, he married me anyway...he told me he was glad I didn't have expensive taste!

5. I can find the positive side to most situations, although it takes me longer to find it sometimes.

6. I am very clumsy. I am notorious for tripping over my own feet! I even remember several occasions when I mortified myself by falling UP the stairs in school and another time in high school when I fell all the way down a stand of bleachers and into a pizza box, after pulling my friend down with me! So embarrassing! Now, I just laugh at myself when these things happen because I figure it gives me character.

There...I did it!
I am going to tag:
1. Libby, 2. Katie, 3. Lauren, 4. Wendy, 5. Lynn, 6. Daisy
