The strange yet true facts about me:

1. I had a friend when I was younger and her mom believed in being very open with her about everything. One of those items was what happens at the GYN's office. My friend decided to share such facts with me and to my little 8 or 9 year old mind it was terrifying. I remember praying very hard that I would never have children because I figured if I didn't have children I wouldn't have to go there. Little did I know . . . :-) It's a good thing God doesn't answer all our prayers with a yes.

2. I love to read and if I don't have anything new to read I'll re-read a book. I won't re-read just any book but ones that I loved I will. I also love to read while eating and would rather read than watch t.v. or carry on a conversation, most of the time.

3. I haven't had an uninterrupted nights sleep in 9-12 months.

4. When I clean my house my last item in each room is to light a candle. I just enjoy the scent of a candle but Graham says it's my "sign" that the room is done.

5. I am a recovering hypochondriac. At different points in my life I have been convinced I had: appendicitis, Parkinson's disease, and AIDS (and too many more to name). My imagined illness usually coincided with seeing a television news story or documentary on the illness and then I "developed" those symptoms. I had an overactive imagination as a child.

6. I cannot watch horror movies. They disturb me greatly and I end up having horrible dreams. Graham's sister and brother in law love these types of movies and find them funny so they have a huge collection of them. Needless to say, I do not borrow them.

7. I had a definite dislike of pants without elastic while growing up. I found anything with a zipper and button uncomfortable. For that reason, I rarely had jeans because it was hard to find them with an elastic waist. I can remember the first time I wore jeans with a zipper and didn't hate them...I think I was 12.

I don't have 7 people to tag but here are the lucky ones:

1. Katie
2. Mandi
3. Rachel
4. Rebecca
