I've been tagged by Shannon to try and think of 7 random things about myself (that other people might be interested to know). Here is what I came up with...

1. I had stick-straight hair as a baby. People are obviously always shocked when I tell them this and I wish I had a picture online to show you..but it's true. The madness of frizz and curls started sometime in middle school-which is just perfect timing to start looking different from everyone else....luckily, since then-I have found some amazing products for curly hair-so if you know anyone in need-check out http://www.ouidad.com/!

2. I absolutely HATE to be lost while driving. I get very aggravated and I have to find a map immediately. Which brings me to (please don't judge me too harshly for this)...I love to look at maps, I want to know exactly where I am going and how long it will take and how many more exits I have to go. (for example, I know that if you are driving along I-85 in South Carolina-it will take you exactly 106 miles-man, this makes me sound a little crazy and a lot dorky) As you can imagine...when Russell and I argue-it's usually in the car (and he's driving...)

3. I really don't like scary movies or ghost stories. I refuse to watch anything that seems to be even the least bit scary. When I was in high school, I went to see The 6th Sense with my mom, my friend Courtney and her mom, and I walked out within the first five minutes and watched Big Daddy instead:)

4. I have two tattoos, I got them both when I was 18 and I kinda wish they would both magically disappear...

5. I have over 700 songs on my ipod, but all I ever listen to are the four albums by the Dixie Chicks, over and over again. They have been and always will be my favorites:) I even convinced Russell to go to one of their concerts with me last year in Atlanta and it was AMAZING!

6. I was born in Hobbs, New Mexico. (isn't the scenery beautiful...that is located just outside of town)

7. I went through a serious tomboy stage when I was younger (about 4-6 grade). I wore my brothers' old hand-me-downs and I LOVED Micheal Jordan and anything to do with the NBA. My dad and I would always watch the games together and my room had Michael Jordan posters all over the walls and come to find out...Russell and I had the exact same poster on our wall (I mean, what proof do you need besides that little fact that we are meant for each other:)) So there you have it, 7 random things about me. And-just a little side note-if you want to make this little game really interesting-ask your spouse to help you think of things. I asked Russell and he immediately starts listing things about me that bothers him. I quickly told him that's not what I meant and that I didn't need his help....

So here are the rules:

*Link your tagger and list these rules on your blog.

*Tell seven random facts about yourself on your blog

* Tag seven people at the end of your post by leaving their names as well as links to their blogs

*Let them know they are tagged by leaving a comment on their blog

Ok-tag, you're it:
