Oh ps- here are the rules:
A. The rules of the game are posted at the beginning.
B. Each player lists 6 facts/habits about themselves.
C. At the end of the post, the player then tags 6 people and posts their names, then goes to their blogs and leaves them a comment, letting them know that they have been tagged and asking them to read your blog.
Thing 1: I used to be a dancer. I love LOVE doing ballet, but pointe shoes gave me horrible blisters all over my feet. We weren't allowed to use any padding in our shoes so we could "feel the floor." I could feel it alright. My friend, Whitney, and I came up with an excellent form of foot therapy for our aching feet and blisters. Every night after a long ballet class we would go to my house and flush our feet in the toilet. (We would bleach it first of course.) I love the feeling of the cold water swirling around my toes. I have thought about trying it recently, but I just can't justify sticking my foot in there without sufficient injury first.
Thing 2: I have the gift of saying the perfectly wrong thing in all situations. My mouth gets going down I15 before my brain even backs out of the garage. I apologize to all of you that I have ever said these dumb, insensitive, naive things too. I'm sorry for being rude and for spilling your secrets. It just comes naturally to me. The latest example of my big mouth is this:
Last Sunday, I was helping my mom deliver neighbor gifts to her friends in the ward. I took one to a man in the ward that I really admire. He is divorced and takes care of his two little kids. I didn't expect him to remember me, but he did and he asked how "married life" was treating me. When people ask me this question I usually tell them that "I recommend it," just to be silly. When I said this to him, I immediately knew that it was the WRONG THING TO SAY. He just kind of chuckled and said, "Well, I like being married, she just didn't want to be married to me." I felt so stupid, rude and insensitive! Sorry cool guy from the ward- I will do better next time.
Thing 3: I have crazy bendy elbows. I was double jointed to start, but I broke my right arm when I was 7 and that helped it bend even more.
Thing 4: I got my first pair of glasses when I was in Preschool. By the time I was 7 the eye doctor told me that I had to go outside and play instead of reading books all the time because my eyes were so bad. By the time I was 10 I had the same prescription as my dad, and they said that they usually make this strong of prescriptions for people that wear bifocals (aka: not 10 year olds.) They told me that I had to get "hard" contact lenses to keep my eyes from getting any worse. Now, I am legally blind without my glasses or contacts.
Thing 5: When I was little I always wanted to have "Ariel bangs" just like the little Mermaid. Now I do!
Thing 6: I like to keep things nice, but I often take it an extreme. When I was in second grade, I got a big beautiful new box of crayons. I thought they were so cool that I didn't want to mess them up. I wouldn't use them and if I did, I would color very lightly and I would be sure to put them back in the same spot to keep them nice. I recently found my beautiful box of crayons. There were about 7 that had still never been used, and I am only missing one out of all original 96.
Thats all of my deep dark secrets. I tag Zak, Megan, Randy, and Heidi. I know that this is not 6 people, but My blogging world is small and I can't tag every one! Then there would be no game left.
