Ten Things you dont know about me

I've been tagged by Rebecca from http://sunnybrookrebecca.blogspot.com/to post Ten Things You Don't Know About Me.

So, here goes.

1. I am an accountant....... but hate higher math, like Algebra, Geometry, Calculus, etc.

2. My first car was a ford escort, Yes I said Ford Escort!

3. I was in the United States Navy for two years. Right out of high school, that was an eye opening experience. I can honestly say I now know I was truly naive. I lived on board a submarine tender, the USS CANOPUS. They put it out of its misery a few years after I left the service. I don't regret a minute of my time spent serving our wonderful country, but two years was long enough for me. Sorry all you "lifers" just didn't think I wanted to raise my kids in the service.

4. My stepfather is a preacher

5. I love to have pedicures! Nothing better than having your feet and legs massaged and toe nails painted. Of course, in my fantasy it is a big buff dark headed man with green eyes, not a little tiny Asian woman who is in a hurry.

6. I absolutely could not stand Rebecca from http://sunnybrookrebecca.blogspot.com/ when I first met her. HATED HER! But of course like my other bestest friends, I came to love her. (' Couldn't be that we are a lot alike!) Remember that Bek? The days at Revis?

7. I have had a job since I was 14 and didn't complete my degree until 2003.

8. I have only truly loved one man my entire life. Yes honey, it is you Michael.

9. I was truly blind for 9 months in my right eye. I was diagnosed with optic neuritis when I was 26, my "mallrat" daughter was just two months old and I had a sinus infection. I woke up on a Saturday morning and couldn't see anything out of my right eye. Very SCARY! Because I had always been very healthy I didn't even have an eye doctor let alone a neurologist or opthamalogist or any other the other specialist I came to know over the next few months. I went to an optometrist and He scared the crap out of me because after dilating my eyes he proceeded to tell me that I had Multiple Sclerosis. I mean HELLO! I know know he was in no position to diagnose that. So, he sent me home and told me to find an opthamalogist, btw don't drive when you are blind in one eye and cant see out of the other! I scared the Crap out of myself on the way home! Only by God's grace did I manage that one! Anyway, I became case study, I didn't not have MS, it was a freak thing caused by a sinus infection or so they think. They told me I would never regain my vision, but I believed God answered my prayers and healed me. Because I now have 20/20 vision in both eyes again!

10. I have no favorite color.

And don't you just know those little Asian women are talking about you while you're getting your feet done? And enjoying the fact you can't understand them?

We should go together for a pedicure. I have only had one in my life and it wasn't all that good. We could go to some little Asian woman and when they start speaking to each other we could talk Pig Latin or something. I hate when they do that. I always feel like they are talking about me. Miss you.
