6 Random Facts

Hmmm 6 random things about me (I wrote this a month ago and never posted it. I think I'm supposed to tag some people...go ahead and tag yourself if you want to do it!)

1. I believe that Skittles and Starbursts make my eyelids sweat. When I eat them, that is.

2. I never fully learned how to drive a stick shift until I was 28.

3. My golden birthday was also my 16th birthday - pretty cool, huh?

4. During both pregnancies I've experienced a strange bulge on the left side of my abdomen which is only noticeable when I wake up in the morning and am laying on my back. The Dr. said it's probably caused by a full bladder pushing something out of the way, or getting pushed out of the way...Sorry - TMI? She's not concerned, so I'm just amused by it.

5. We have 4 different versions of strollers - for one child. And I'm embarrased by it...But to satisfy the curious mind, here's what they are:
a)the original stroller (the kind that the infant carseat can clip into - usually part of a "travel system");
b) a jogging stroller, essential for speed-walkers like me;
c) an umbrella stroller - handy for keeping in the car for trips into places that don't have shopping carts (like the library) when the child is too heavy/akward to carry for more than a few minutes;
d) a bike trailer that converts into a stroller and can hold either one or two children. I've never used this as a stroller, but will perhaps use it when baby #2 is big enough to sit in it if it's sufficient for fast-paced cardio walks. If it's not, I fear we'll be looking for a double jogging stroller. Now to put your calculating minds at ease, since we're bargain finders and we recieved some of these as gifts, it would NOT have been cheaper to get one stroller that does it all. Is there even a light-weight, big-wheeled (so it can handle a fast pace), infant carseat friendly, trunk-friendly, shopping-friendly, one- or two-child bike trailer/stroller ALL in one? Betcha it costs a fortune...

6. I wrap my wet hair in a towel the opposite way of the rest of the world. Instead of tossing my head upside down, twisting the towel around my hair and flipping my head back up so the towel hangs down the back, I wrap the towel around my hair while it's hanging down, then twist the towel up on top of my head and tuck the end under the front part of the towel on my forehead. And I don't care who sees me like this. I have yet to meet anyone else who does it this way. Do you?
