Five Things

I’ve been tagged by my RW Buddy, Perpstu, for five fascinating things about me. Of course, I think everything about me is fascinating.

(excuse me while I go and put my ego in check)

Grunt
Squeeze
Wiggle
Ugh
Ahh. There it goes.

(okay all you nasty-minded buggers out there – get your head out of the gutter)

Here are five things that I think are a bit unusual about me.

1. I used to own a surfboard and yes, I did know how to use it.
2. I’m a leadership-a-holic. It’s rare that I can be a part of a group/organization/association without getting recruited to help run in it in some way or another.
3. I’ve had two pet rats in my lifetime — Amanda I had as a child, I had Emily when I was in my 20’s.
4. I won a scrapbooking award for a page I did about my miscarriage. Ironically, I conceived Boo the same weekend.
5. I tried to induce labor with Boo (who was a week late) by walking my neighborhood and conviincing area residents that putting an inpatient mental hospital a few blocks away was a good idea. They built the hospital (yea!), but it did nothing for my labor (boo!).

Speaking of labor, one of my fellow Vegas parent bloggers, VegasDad over at iVegasFamily and his HotMamma are about to welcome their second son to the family. (Hot Mamma’s getting induced on Monday).

I know from personal experience that the shift from one to two is a big exercise in air traffic control. So, I’m hosting a virtual baby shower here. Please help me wish the many blessings by bestowing a bunch of unsolicited parenting advice here in the comments. Be sure to add iVegasFamily to your reader so you can keep tabs on his news!
