Ok, this is slightly delayed, but tell me something new??? I’ve got a list of tags I’m due to respond to and well, I might surprise you and actually respond to them.   It’s not like you don’t know everything about me anyway, but Dabich tagged me recently so here goes!!  

8 Things About Myself…Rules: Each person posts these rules before their list, then they list 8 things about themselves. At the end of the post, that person tags and links to 8 other people; then visits those people’s sites and comments, letting them know that they have been tagged, and to come read the post, so they know what they have to do.
 

Also, because I’m a copy cat, I’m going to write in a color. Nah!!

1. My family, mostly my father’s family, call me Red because…

2. … apparently I had a redish undertones as a baby, coupled with the fact that I cried a lot. In fact…

3.  I was born a couple of months early, and was whisked away to the nursery for diagnostic tests, etc. When my mom got there to spend some time with me, according to the legend, she argued with the nurses saying that the baby they handed to her was not hers because I didn’t look black.  Isn’t that stupid??  I’m good and brown now though, so I wish they’s stop calling me that.

4. I used to have really light eyes as a young child as well, and according to another legend, after my mom saw the exorcist, she was scared of me for several days because I kept looking at her. Well excuse me! I haven’t made THAT mistake again!

5. My mom is clearly as cooky as I am, but is my best friend. Sometimes I feel like she’s the only person that understands me and gives a darn. 

6. I have a summer ice cream thing. As much as I eat it during the summer, you’d think I ate it all year, but I don’t.  I like most kinds, but prefer to go out for ice cream.  As often as I go, you’d think I’d gain tons of weight in the summer, but I think I’m just probably malnourished or something because I eat the ice cream instead of like dinner or lunch. It’s terrible (for the future nutritionist)! Most of the time I try to balance it by eating better things during the rest of the day, but some times I don’t care. Like today!   I plan on having some ice cream this evening!  For dinner!   

7. I have had a headache for 3 days.  While that shouldn’t be a “thing” about me, it seems to be becoming the norm. 

8.  I’m generally a pretty anal person when it comes to order and organization. HOWEVER, I have the biggest problem putting away clothes after doing laundry. As a result, I have baskets of clothes all over my room.  Ironically, I also hate ironing, so one would think this would motivate me to put away the clothes after washing them so they won’t be so wrinkled, but it just doesn’t happen that way. 

So that’s it!
