Three Obscure Things (Blog Challenge #2)

So today's blog challenge is to post 3 obscure things about yourself. These are things that most people don't know about me. So read on and keep the snickering to a minimum:

1. When I was about 12 I won the "Most Freckled" contest at the Lincoln County Fair.

2. When I was a teenager I had an entire wall in my room plastered with New Kids on the Block pictures that I tore out of my "Tiger Beat" magazines. And I once cried myself to sleep when I realized that I was never going to be able to marry Jordan Knight (one of the singers in the group).

3. I'm very attached to my hair. Not just in the literal sense either. My hair is my safety net. I play with it when I'm nervous. I let it fall in my face when I'm trying to hide or I'm embarassed. I throw it over my shoulder when I'm trying to be flirty. I'm scared to do anything traumatic to it because I don't know what could happen, so I only get a haircut about once a year and I never try the highlights I've always wanted. I swear, if something happens to my hair I don't know what I'd do!

great little facts about you...I bet I could give you a run for your money on the freckles ;) and the highlighting is not that bad..I think some very very subtle blonde highlights would look gorgeous on you, just don't get the same kit I did...yowsers!

I thought the challenge was to list things people don't know, but I knew them all. Perhaps it's because I had to listen to the New Kids on the Block through the walls in our house on 58th street or because I had to wait for hours while you primped and curled your life away in our only bathroom. Ah, those were the days.....

Height Check ...

Image
I knew it would happen eventually -- today just happened to be the day. Twice a year we mark the kids heights and ages on our piece of wood kept especially for this purpose. The last several years Tristan has been steadily gaining inches on Chase, coming closer and closer to Chase's height. Today was the day when he surpassed his brothers height. Take a look at the closeup of the stick. Tristan, at age 9 1/2, just barely edged out Chase, age 11 1/2. While Chase knew it was coming, he is not exactly thrilled at the prospect of being smaller than his "little" brother. He, understandably, does not think this is fair. We've had some very frank discussions the last few months about the fact that Tristan is going to be bigger. He has Brian's "big" gene and is going to be a tall and brawny guy like his Dad. Chase on the other hand got a lot of my genes and will probably be a more average height. Tristan is thrilled to be bigger than Chase and has done a good jo...

I hate exercise

I do. I hate it. I know there are some people that love exercising, but I am not one of them. The 40 minutes I force myself to walk the treadmill are the longest, most excruciating 40 minutes of my life. I've never been a physical kind of girl - I never did sports as a child, never worked out, etc. So someone please tell me the secret to loving exercise because at this point I am NOT getting it!
