I've been tagged...

As I was reading my friend, Dana's post listing 6 random things about herself I was thinking to myself how neat each of those things were and also how hard it must have been to think of 6 random AND interesting things about yourself. I can think of tons of random things about me but not many are that interesting. Then, I got to the end and saw that she tagged me! I did manage to come up with 6 so we'll see what you think...

1. I have always wanted blue eyes. I used to want colored contacts even though my vision is perfectly fine. I was a chicken and never went through with it. Instead, I married a blue-eyed fella and had a couple of blue-eyed babies. I can't look at my own eyes anyway - this way I get to enjoy theirs! (I'm in love with your big brown ones too Jaden!)
2. I am listed as an author in a book chapter. Here's the reference: Scotti, J.R., Morris, T.J., Ruggiero, K.J., & Wolfgang, J. (2002). Posttraumatic Stress Disorder. In M. Hersen (Ed.), Clinical Behavior Therapy: Adults and Children (pp.361-382). New York: John Wiley & Sons.
3. I still wonder whether I chose the right names for my boys. I am still very happy with Anna but I worry about what the boys will think of their names when they grow up. I put a lot of thought into their names because I feel like names can have a big influence on your life. Think about it. What do you think of when I say the name Bambi? Walter? Rain? Names matter.
4. I'm a huge Harry Potter fan! Yeah, me and all the other 4th graders. If you are laughing at me you really should pick up one of the books and read it. You'll be a fan too. I'm sure of it. I love, love, love the books and can't wait for the next movie. Chris just told me it will be out in November. Yay!!!
5. I've never eaten shrimp, lobster, scallops, calamari, etc... I do eat fish (some) and I've tried a teeny, tiny bite of crabcake (can't tell you what it tastes like- guess I didn't get enough). Oh, and my Dad used to sneak fried clam strips in with my french fries when we would eat at Ponderosa. I just though I had some really tough fries!
6. I couldn't even swim on top of the water until I was 10 years old. The next year I joined the swim team. Turned out that I could do pretty good once I got it figured out. When I was in high school my relay team set a record for the 200 free style relay. That was in 1992, I think. It was still there the last time my sister told me. She'll be a Senior this year. I'll have to ask her again.

Okay, there you have it. Now it's my turn! I tag:

• Laura
• Kelli
• Chris (this should be interesting. It's a good way for me to get him to actually post something!!!)
• Jill
• Megan
