4X2=8
I got tagged by Becca, who is a friend of some friends of mine, to share eight things about myself. Since I've already shared a number of things about myself, I was trying to figure out what you possibly couldn't know about me. Hopefully these will be 8 unique facts:
1. Even though the entire process is a pain, I love having parties and entertaining. I'm not that big into making things look great (a la Martha Stewart), but I love to cook and I love to invite friends over to hang out and eat. We celebrated with friends tonight and it was a lot of fun.
2. I ran a red light the other day. I really didn't mean to, and the more I think about it the more freaked out I am. I just keep imagining a car running into the side of my car and smushing S-Boogie, and it would be my fault. Thankfully that didn't happen.
3. I used to hate capri pants. When they first started being the fashionable thing to wear, I thought they were ridiculous. Finally a few years ago I realized that I just don't like shorts as much anymore. I guess I'm officially an old lady now.
4. I have to hang all the clothes in my closet facing the same direction.
5. One of my new favorite CDs is Mind Control by Stephen Marley. I like to listen to it really loud in the car.
6. When I was a kid I used to like to eat uncooked oatmeal with milk and molasses on it.
7. I sweat a lot. Even in the winter I usually have sweaty armpits. That's why I don't buy very many dry-clean-only clothes and I always feel self-conscious about people noticing.
8. I once ate a dog biscuit just to see what it tasted like (I was 9).
I'm supposed to tag 8 people, but it's late and it's a holiday, so I will invite all my readers to share 8 fun things about themselves.

I was a cheerleader in high school. (I KNOW! WHAT WAS I THINKING?)
I still have the skirt I wore to my jr prom (it was semiformal) and since the waistband is stretchy I like to wear it when I'm pregnant. I've driven the Alaska highway five times, I hate being tickled because it makes me pee my pants, I don't like my maiden name because no one can ever pronounce it so I was relieved to get married, only it's not much better now, and Wyclef's song Guantanamera was one of my favorite songs in high school.
Also, I sweat a ton and I just started using the secret clinical deodorant because I had a coupon and it seems to help more than all the other ones.
I never buy shirts over $10 because I know I'll have to replace them pretty much every year.

My worst red-light running incident happened after I took my last final in April 2002. I was driving east towards the mountains after getting a Schlotzky's sandwich and feeling all sentimental and relieved when I saw the light I'd just gone through turn green in my rearview mirror. That was the death of my post-finals relief.
I ran a stop sign a few months ago, right in front of a school. Now,every time I approach that same sign,I am not only very careful to stop, but am also filled with fear that a cop is waiting to pull me over and give me a ticket for the time I ran that same stop sign months ago.
