10 Things you may or may not know about me!

I have been tagged (thanks Shontell!!!) 10 things you may or may not know about me!

10) I may be able to dance... but I am very uncoordinated. Example... last year I went snowboarding here in Cyprus. We don't get much snow but when we do and even though it is pure ice for some reason that seems to be what people want to do. The ice wasn't the bad part though, it was the lift... a T-bar lift (I never knew what that was until that VERY embarrassing moment!). So, there I am watching my friend Debbie go up on this strange thing that looks like an upside down "T" attatched to a bungee. What you are supposed to do is slightly "rest" on it without putting any weight on it and than it just sortof guides you up the hill. I thought okay, this can't be that hard. WRONG!!! I think the first time I made it about 5 feet up, crash... the next time maybe 7 feet, crash... etc... oh and never mind that the guy working the lift happened to be an attractive guy *eeeks*. I told him to just let it drag me up, I would be okay.. he he... so anyway, a few (okay maybe 15 or so) tries later I finally decided to put the bar between my legs, lock it in so that it couldn't slip away. It worked, I got to the top where Debbie was ever so patiently waiting... (talking to about 4 or 5 men). I say "whoo hoo I did it"... but wait... now I had to get my legs unwrapped from this bar and it was still moving. Once my legs were out I forgot to let go of it and fell on my stomach with the bar pulling me along. I don't think I have ever been so embarrassed in all my life. The men kindly said "She must be American!!!"... Yep... American... what can I say?

9) I can't stand when apples squeak on my teeth... it literally makes me gag! Just thinking about it makes me gag!

8) I can't stand the feeling of wet towels. You know like when they squeak together as you remove them from the washer... makes me gag! Notice a trend? I gag alot!!!

7) I get a little onery when my house is a untidy (okay so really onery). It overwhelmes me and I will go on a cleaning frenzy!

6) I have a huge fear of water. I thought that scuba diving would conquer it but I think it made it worse. The farther the shore is the more scared I am. One of our dives we did we had to swim to the "spot" and it was a bit windy and the water was choppy. I couldn't use my snorkel because I didn't feel like I was getting enough air. So I used my air from the tank which didn't help either. I started to panic and decided that there was no way that I was going to make it. I abandoned my fellow divers and swam back to shore (or something like that) and realized that once I got to the shore I had no one to help me get this heavy tank off my back. It wasn't pretty. I was being slammed up against the shore, tossed around like you would not believe with plenty of on-lookers who I am sure were in hysterics just watching me. It took me about 15 minutes to get the tank off and out of the water once I realized that if I would only take the flippers off I could stand. Let's just say that the next dive they were sure to take me out on a boat! :^)

5) I am a bit chlosterphobic. Put me in a small room with loads of people and I am bound to freak out!

4) I have the most amazing friends and family in this world!

3) I have a MAJOR fear of the unknown... this includes death, what I will do tomorrow (I like to have a plan), where we will be living this time next year, etc... I am a planner and I like to know what is going to happen next!

2) If you are cleaning your ears you better know that I will run (and I do!!!). Just the thought of what I might see on that Q-tip scares me. My husband loves to tease me with this one. I am fine with my own ears, but don't show me yours. EW!

1) I LOVE to rock climb. I am very passionate about things I love to do!

I am tagging all of you...
