My 2 Lil' Punkins!

I can't believe Halloween is here. . .what I consider to be the first of "THE" holidays, and Gracyn is home with us!

So, I've decided that the day I posted the 7 things about me, I was absolutely drained. . .Mommy-brained-out. . .after reading the posts of the much funnier moms that I lovingly tagged, not because I think they're BOOOOREED (LOL), I thought I better change it up and borrow some fun from Jackie!

In the spirit of Halloween, here are 7 SCARY things about me that you didn't know:

1. When I worked at a pizza parlor I let people use expired coupons, and could never get the pepperoni smell out from under my nails. I'd even dig them into a bar of soap and let them sit. . .

2. When I worked at the Dim Sum restaurant, YES, I pushed around a cart with food. . .I'd yell out, "Ha Gow" (shrimp dumplings) or "Sui Mai" (pork dumplings) or "Pi-goot" (steamed pork) and with my great accent people believed I spoke Chinese. Guess what? I'd stare blankly when they stopped pointing and putting up one finger, and started speaking in Chinese.

3. Before DH proposed I asked him one day (well, I asked several times before this) when he was going to propose and he said "One year." So, I got a calendar and marked it 365, 364, 363. . .until the year was up. . .I think he ended up proposing after that, but of course, I still said yes.

4. As a child I was obsessed with numbers and counting. I'd lay in bed counting the number of slats on my window blinds, I'd count the number of steps on a stairwell going up and down.

5. I have an impeccable memory (well, I used to) and still remember the phone numbers, addresses, and birth dates of kids I knew in elementary school. Funny I have to ask DH whether his is the 10th or the 11th all the time! LOL

6. I lived in 2 houses until I moved out of my parents' home, but lived in at least 6 places in my college years, and lived in 4 different houses in 5 years with my DH.

7. When I eat, I have make sure the last bite is perfect. A little rice, a little meat, a little veggie all mixed together. Oh, and with cereal, the last serving (I usually eat 3-4 in a sitting, has to be just right - not too soggy, milk not to sugary)

8. I know, I said 7, but what the heck, 8 is a lucky number. . .when I'm stressed, nervous or bored I pick at a spot on my head. . .after I came back from Taiwan my hairdresser gasped. . .I now have a bald spot. I need to find a new habit!

So, there you have it. . .hope these were worth reading. So, here's the FUN part for you. . .comment with the funniest or scariest FACT about yourself by 10/14 and I'll send the WINNER a bag of their favorite Halloween Candy!
