Hmm.... 7 interesting things about myself....

1. I love, love, love to travel.  I used work as a flight attendant and flew to many different countries in my younger days.  I wish I had the money and time to do that still.  There is still so much to see and do out there!
2. I LOVE food.  I am a big fan of sushi and authentic ethnic food.  Chinese, Japanese, Thai, Indian, Vietnamese, Italian, etc.  I love to try everything!  I love a good steak too.  I think about food.  All.  The.  Time.  I always have cravings.  Ask my Babe, cravings keeps me up at night!  Wouldn't this be fun when I am pregnant and have cravings?  I'll drive my Babe crazy!
3. I am an adventurous person. I love to try different, adventurous (crazy) things.  I have skydived, scuba dived and bungee jumped, and I love rollercoasters and theme park rides, the scarier the better. I am hoping that I will be able to try hang gliding, parasailing, cave rafting and Zorbing some day.
4. I had really bad teeth growing up.  Even though I wore braces for a couple of years in high school, my dental work started way before then.  When I was little, I had 4 extra teeth that had to be pulled to allow my two front teeth to come out.  Then I had to wear retainers even before I started wearing braces because my teeth were so screwed up.
5. I'm short.  I'm only 5'3 and my Babe is 6'4".  We have a 13 inch difference in height.  People say that we make a cute couple.  I think they mean odd, but are too nice to say.  Dancing with my Babe is a real challenge!  I always joke that my Babe loves to be looked up to, and that I am occasionally his leaning post.
6. I met my mother-in-law before I met my Babe.  Though my Babe and I went to the same college, we never met until later.  He majored in engineering and I was in business.  My MIL was a non-traditional student, she went to college after getting married and raising 4 of her 5 kids.  My MIL and I were in the same evening class though we never really knew each other.  When my Babe and I started dating, we arranged to meet my Babe's mom for the first time.   He said, "Oh yeah, my mom says she knows who you are.  You were her classmate".  I thought "Oh crap!  I hope I didn't say anything stupid in class".  My professor then was also my advisor, he and I used to give each other a lot of crap in class.  Luckily my MIL and I get along really well.
7. I am currently not employed and I do not miss working.  My hope is to get pregnant soon and stay home with my baby.  I am finding that I am a much happier and healthier person after leaving my highly stressed job.
