Seven things about me
I’ve actually been tagged by Melinda to share seven weird things about me. As I read “weird” to mean “interesting,” this is a bit daunting. Here goes.
* Share 7 facts about yourself on your blog, some random, some weird.
* Tag 7 people at the end of your post by leaving their names as well as links to their blogs.
* Let them know they are tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.
1 – I’ve moved 33 times in my life. The somewhat interesting part about that is that I lived in one house for nine years, which means that I’ve averaged more than a move per year each and every year that I didn’t live in that house. No wonder I worry about putting down roots for my child(ren).
2 – I’m partially deaf in one ear. When I was in college at the University of Oklahoma, I was on the sideline of a football game when a “roughneck” (creepy spirit squad) shot off a gun next to me for no particular reason (they shoot these guns at the end of a quarter or perhaps when someone scores) and perforated my eardrum.
3 – I usually forget which ear is impaired. I just assume I’m hard of hearing generally.
4 – My eyes turn different colors depending on my mood and what I’m wearing. They range from a very light grey-blue to a much darker green.
5 – I’m incapable of multi-tasking if I’m in a room where the tv is on unless the sound is muted. I’ve never understood this.
6 – I refuse to dive head-first into water.
7 – Driving a manual car sends me into actual panic attacks (with the shaking, sweaty hands, difficulty breathing, etc.). The fear was so bad that I had to buy another car when I had six months left on the lease of my Saab convertible.
So, here are seven people I’d like to know a little more about, if they’re so inclined . . .

Where I’ve Been
I’m pretty weird, but I’m gonna have to think about this one….surely there are 7 weird things about me!
your eyes change color? dan is the same way. what color do you have listed on your dl? i think i’d be shocked if you say anything other than green. lol
wow! 33 times?! does your family have military background at all?
Hi Michelle! I won’t dive head first, either. In fact, I still hold my nose if I have have to go under at all!
7 weird things, huh? Hmmm…
#1, thanks so much for doing this! Number two, you moved 33 times! My goodness…I have only moved about 10 times and I thought that was nuts!
BTW, I am partially deaf in my left ear too; it doesn’t affect me too much, actually at times I think it is a benefit : )
posting mine today!
Thanks, Michelle. I’m going to have to think about this one for a while…I’ll try to post something “revealing” in the next few days. Hmmm…there’s a bad joke in that statement that I should probably just leave alone.
