I have tagged by one of my blogging friends, Me-Moddy. I'm not really sure what being "tagged" means. It's conjuring up images for me from elementary school that I'd rather just forget.
But being the good sport that I am, I have decided to play along…albeit a fortnight and then some overdue…sorry for the delay, Kara!
To participate in the tagging I believe I'm supposed to list six random things about myself. Feel free to grab a cup of coffee and settle in.
- I skipped a grade. It was Kindergarten. You might think that since it was such an early grade that it doesn't count as really skipping a grade, but it does. I graduated from high school two weeks after my 17th birthday. Yeah, I was always a young-un. Not only did I skip a grade, early on I was in a self-paced learning environment and soon paced myself right out of two additional grades of math. So, while my fellow 12 year olds were learning to use their protractors in sixth grade, I was in the 7th grade getting my algebra on with the 9th graders. Talk about not knowing where you belong! You might wonder what I've done in my life with all that early mathematical aptitude…well, aside from acing my university calculus course, pretty much absolutely nothing.
And, in case you were wondering, I would not recommend allowing children to skip grades no matter how genius they may be. It gets to be a social quagmire right around jr. high. At least, I blame my personal awkwardness on being the youngest of my peers. But, perhaps it is just my awkwardness itself that should be blamed…I had more than my fair share, I think!
- All of my children were born on Thursdays. Maybe just a coincidence, but special to me!
- I border on Road Rage. I have several driving behavior pet peeves, but here are the three most likely to earn somebody a stare down.
- Driving under the speed limit. There is no excuse for this.
- Riding my bumper. I will brake randomly and suddenly. Be prepared.
- Driving in the left lane being passed by drivers on the right. Can you not see that people are passing you ON THE RIGHT??? Move over!!
I feel like I need to repent after making this confession.
- Driving under the speed limit. There is no excuse for this.
- My dream job would be teaching. I taught two semesters at a local university a few years ago. Loved it.
- Ironically, my nightmare job would be home-schooling.
- In the five houses I've lived in since getting married, I've personally painted a total of 21 rooms. The most recent was my kitchen this past weekend which I have now painted twice.
There you have it. Six random things about me.

You are SO funny. I laughed out loud, we are all to similar. Except for the genius skills in Math to which I believe you may have gotten my portion of brains in the Math line in heaven. I have very well been talking and missed my chance for math brains. UGH! Will you sit my me in class! I WILL need your help.
Those were some pretty great random things girl! Thanks for playing along. I really don't understand being "tagged" either, but I know in Elementary it meant somebody liked you enough to ask you to be part of the game, so this is all good - right?! :-) Ha!
Road rage was one of my favorites. Thanks for sharing your soul there! I hope I see you in a couple of weeks girl! Miss you!
