A meme for the past

I’ve been tagged by Amy over at Milk and Cookies to list eight things about me that you probably don’t know.  I have done this twice before, but I figured there is a lot you don’t know about me.

so here goes.  I’m going to focus on eight things from my past.

1.   I grew up in a house with five brothers and sisters.  We only had one bathroom.  My parents still live in this house, when my whole family gets together at Christmas there are approximately 28 of us for close to a week, with only one bathroom.  And it’s fine.

2.  I used to have my belly pierced.

3.  I have endometriosis.  I got rid of my belly ring when I had to have my second laparoscopy done.  I went to have my belly re-pierced, and it was the worst pain I have ever experienced.  (something to do with scar tissue, I guess.)

4.  I have a tattoo.  I got my tattoo when I was twenty.  When I told my Mom about the tattoo, after the fact, I broke it to her by telling her my belly was pierced, which she didn’t know about.  I figured it would lessen the blow of my very permanent tattoo. 

It didn’t work.

5. Brian and I used to live on the 44th floor of a high rise in Chicago.  It was right on Lake Michigan and it was divine.  I loved it.

6.  We honeymooned in Barbados.

7.  One time, when I was little, we were at the beach with my Dad, he carried my sister and I out into Lake Michigan until he was up to his chest, he then let us go in the water and I thought I was going to die.

It was fun.  To this day my sister and I can’t swim.

8.  I was the editor of my high school newspaper.

whew, that was E-Z.  I tag the last five people who left a comment, so that would be Jodi from Fruit Inspection, Beth at Sportsmomma, Lauren at A Wandering Heart, Mandy at Just a Girl, and LeeAnn at 2 Nuts in a shell.
