Tag--you are it!

I was tagged on Amanda's blog to tell you seven things about myself you may not know about me. Loved your list Amanda (chased by a skunk--really?!). Here goes!

1- I had a shirt in elementary school that had a rainbow across the chest I loved a ton. I would always try to suck in my stomach so my rib cage looked like boobs in that shirt. Holy cow--if I only would have known then what I was in store for!

2- I love dried fruit (apples, pineapple, apricots, bananas). Bought a Ronco food dehydrator in college, but could never get it quite right.

3- My first job was working at Orange Julius at Valley Fair Mall. I bought a $40 Esprit pink t-shirt with my first paycheck, and still think it was one of my favorite pieces of clothing of all time to this day.

4- I was a JV cheerleader in high school. I was so not good--couldn't tumble or dance at all. Didn't make it again the next year for the Varsity squad, and was secretly relieved.

5- My first car was a big, huge, blue boat of a thing. I thought I wanted a car so badly--any car at all--but came to the realization there is something to be said for having a cute car. Somehow that never really went away...

6- I haven't seen or spoken to my dad in over nine years.

7- The ultimate indulgence for me is reading in bed all day long. I have only done it like twice in my lifetime (came home from college one weekend and read Frankenstein for two days straight for a paper I had to write, and once when Mack was a baby and he slept all day on and off. Read Wally Lamb's This Much I Know is True). But, I do sometimes stay in bed for hours and read.

Ok so nothing really exciting about me but maybe something someone didn't know. I am now tagging Amber, you're it!
