8 Things About Me

C.J. Darlington tagged me, so here are the rules:

1. Each player starts with eight random facts/habits about themselves.

2. People who are tagged need to write their own blog about their eight things and post these rules.

3. At the end of your blog, you need to choose eight people to get tagged and list their names.

4. Don't forget to leave them a comment telling them they're tagged, and to read your blog.


And here are the 8 random facts/habits about me:

1. I'm left-handed.

2. I write in my journal every night before bed. Every single night. If I know that somehow I won't be able to right before bed, I write it in the late afternoon or early evening. I haven't missed a day in almost nine years.

3. I hardly ever wear makeup. I used to never wear it. Now I put on a little eyeshadow if I'm leaving the house or we're having company, and perhaps some lip gloss. Any more than that happens only once or twice a month. The sad thing is, my mom sells Mary Kay and I sell Avon, so I have more makeup than I can use in a decade!

4. My left ring finger has a callus from all the writing I do.

5. I am the oldest of nine kids (and was homeschooled from 1st-12th grade like C.J!), though most people think my younger brother (who's getting married in 6 weeks!) is older.

6. I have only ridden a rollercoaster twice in my life - once when I was 8 or 9 with my eyes shut, and once at Kennywood last summer with my eyes open (mostly).

7. I went from a church with about 30 people (including children) to a church with well over 1000.

8. I hate condiments - ketchup, relish (and pickles), mustard, salad dressing, etc. About the only one I can stand is mayo, and that's restricted to tuna salad.

I tag: Charity, Elaina, Heidi, Valerie, Marvin, Deborah, Ruth, and the ever-wise (and probably unlikely to participate) Dave Long!
