I heard about this "tag" thing and thought I'd share seven random things about myself:
1. As a child, I wanted to grow up to be Kelly Garrett from Charlie's Angels. My friends and I would play Angels all the time. We had an old Javelin parked beside the house that made the perfect car for chases and I had lots of purses and gadgets to play the part. Those were the days! I still think Jaclyn Smith is gorgeous.
2. I've overcome my horrible (childhood) fear of bees! I used to run screaming from anything resembling a bee, but with some self-imposed exposure therapy and positive self-talk, I can now look a big old fat bee sqare in the eye without increasing my blood pressure the slightest bit. Yeah me!
3. I am writing a book. . . or procrastinating it, at the very least. It will be titled "Obstacle Illusions" and will contain brief chapters promoting positive self-esteem and empowerment in order to overcome all those daily and lifelong obstacles blocking our successes. I'm hoping that my bff, Susan Woodruff and I will also collaborate on a book and travel the world discussing it and empowering women. (Don't stress ya'all, I will remember you, the little people!)
4. I saw the movie Titanic more than a dozen times in the theater and several more times on video. It was EPIC for me and I secretly drooled over Leonardo DiCaprio for many moons (he made my heart go pitter-pat in that movie).
5. I twist my hair when I'm bored or tired. I've done this since I was a little girl. I also like to twist Krystle's hair.
6. I love for everything to be in its place. Dougie was very surprised the first time he came to my office because of how organized it is. It just makes sense to have a designated place for EVERYTHING and to put it back there when you're finished with it. My home would be equally organized if I could only train my husband and children. They are always rolling their eyes at me as I rant and rave, "Where are the scissors? Who moved the stapler? Why can't you guys put things back?!"
7. I am still very close with my very best friends from elementary and high school: Susan Woodruff Carlson, Jenny Smith Walker, Carolyn Olsen Morrison, and Becci Carr Battaglia. There's nothing like reminiscing with them about the old days and sharing new events from our daily lives. Friendships are important to me.
Aside: When I asked Keaton about something random about me he said I should mention my "supermodel walk" that I use to get to the bathroom when I really gotta go---good to know what my children remember me for. . . (sort of reminds me of Mary's "oh my neck, oh my bunion!)
