7 things about Suzi you never knew you wanted to know
Fidget over at Finding Yourself Despite Yourself tagged me with this 7 Random Things About Me meme, and I thought I'd be nice for a change and participate. Go take a look over there, because there are a couple video blogs that will make you pee your pants laughing. Hint: Fidget has chickens!
1. My family lived in Brazil when I was a child. I don't speak Portuguese anymore, but sometimes when I hear it spoken, I understand the gist of the conversation. The part of the brain that deals with language blows my mind.
2. I worked for a veterinarian while I was in high school, and shortly after. Didn't love cleaning up poop and vomit, but I really really really loved the animals. I still remember many of them, and their stories.
3. I met The First Baseman when I was not quite 16. He was my boss at Radio Shack. How nerdy is that? We didn't start dating until I was 17, and I married that guy the day before I turned 20. We've been married for 25 years. HOWEVER! DO NOT TRY THIS AT HOME! Don't get married so young, people. It hardly ever works.
4. Two oddball injuries as a kid: First, I stepped on a needle and it went into my foot, requiring surgery and four nights in the hospital. Then, I shot airplane glue into my eye while trying to glue a giant tootsie roll back together after I'd opened it.
5. My vision, man. I really need to make an eye appointment. I think I need bifocals, because I can't read with my contact lenses in anymore. I don't see that well far away anymore, either. I don't appreciate it AT ALL.
6. I have run 5K three out of the last 4 days. After I run, I sneeze like a mutha for about 10 or 15 minutes. Every time. I also sneeze when I apply mascara. Fortunately, I enjoy sneezing.
7. In my thirties, I wore braces on my teeth and took Accutane for acne. I guess I bloomed into teenagerhood about 20 years late.
Now, since the theme is sevens, I have to tag 7 people. I'm going to tag the last 7 bloggers who commented here, so that means YOU, Kimmy (fix your blog!), Les, Mon, Debunot, Elle, Heather, and Jenni.
