the lovely jenny over at RJR tagged me ages ago and i am finally getting on top of things so here is my 8 random things
(you have probably heard them all before so feel free to ignore this post....LOL)
1. Post these rules.
2. Each person tagged must post 8 random (... hopefully interesting) facts about themselves.
3. Taggees should write a blogpost of these facts.
4. At the end of the post 8 more bloggers are tagged and named and released back into the wild.
(i won't be doing this part....if you want to take part in this, just do it)
INTERESTING FACT NUMBER 1
i met mark when i was 16 (27 years ago) and we were both at school together.
our eyes met across the english room and the rest, as they say, is history.
his parents have never liked me and i don't expect things will change in the future.
INTERESTING FACT NUMBER 2
i was school captain and dux of the school in year 6; president of the student council, school captain and female student of the year in year 12.
INTERESTING FACT NUMBER 3
i was age champion (16 years) for the 800 metres in year 10
(hard to believe when you see the size and shape of me now...!!!)
INTERESTING FACT NUMBER 4
i have a degenerative disease in my right wrist that went undiagnosed until i was 31.
it is called kienbock's disease and is rare
(i was only the second case my orthopaedic surgeon had seen in 20 years)
i am at stage 5
(which means i have had my lunate removed and a scaphoid/capitate fusion and minimum rotation of my wrist)
i will eventually need a total fusion of the wrist but have so far avoided that and hopefully will for a few more years to come.
i take anti-inflammatories every day to help with the swelling and the pain.
a real b*tch of a thing to have in your right wrist when you are right handed.
INTERESTING FACT NUMBER 5
i am a regular plasma and blood donor and i am on the registry as a bone marrow donor.
i started giving plasma over 12 months ago and so far have given it over 25 times in the past 12 months.
i started giving blood when i was 16.
INTERESTING FACT NUMBER 6
i once met john paul young at a truck stop on the way home from canberra.
i was pregnant with jake (DS2), suffering shockingly from morning sickness and after i said "you're john paul young. i've loved you since i was a teenager", i had to run to the toilet and be violently ill.
bet i made a great impression on my teenage crush
INTERESTING FACT NUMBER 7
i have a real "thing" for "men-in-uniform" (MIUs)
all my friends make fun of me and this "thing" i have because i have it SO BAD.
not real fussy on the type of uniform - army, navy, RAAF, police, ambos, security gurads, firies, men in race suits (loved the years mark raced karts and wore his race suit - Mmmmmm)
but i have a real preference for RAAF blues.
INTERESTING FACT NUMBER 8
i suffer terribly from "cyclical insomnia".
i might goes months and months of having a good night's sleep and then i will have weeks of waking up through the night, and despite being exhausted, i seem to be able to exist on a few hours sleep a night.
the GP tells me it is related to stress.
so now you know 8 totally random things about me - don't know that they are so interesting.
i hope that the men in your life have had a great father's day.
mark is so anti father's day that it makes me sad. i think it has a lot to do with the way his father was when they were growing up.
so the kids all spent some time with him this morning, i cooked him breakfast and he said that was more than enough for him.
i called my dad who is in town but unfortunately i can't see him. he is helping care for my uncle bob who has cancer and is having chemo so because we have all been ill, it is best we keep our distnace. i had a great chat to dad though and hopefully will be able to see him in the next few days.
off to do some scrapping and some ironing (YUCK!!!)
the pile is starting to resemble a small mountain.
remember to look for the things in your life that make you smile
~~ and let those you love, know that you do ~~

HAPPY THOUGHT FOR TODAY
seeing my children spend quality time with their dad
