This seven thing meme has been going around in various forms. I thought I would grab hold and do my own.
1 - First off I have to state very clearly. I.Am.Not.Pregnant. I appreciate the well wishes and congratulations in my comments on my Friday Feast post. For dessert I was to "Write one sentence about yourself that includes one thing that is true and another thing that is not." It is true that I have four children, but it is not true that I am expecting our fifth child this fall. You see it is physically impossible for us to get pregnant. If by some miracle I did get pregnant it would be just that, a miracle, or my hubby would be wondering whose bed my boots have been under. If you catch me drift. Thanks again though for your kind congratulations on my non pregnancy pregnancy.
2 - I use to have a rock collection when I was a little girl. One day I got a clever idea that I would set it all out in our front yard and then charge people to see it. Kind of my own version of a lemonade stand. Yes, I was a sad pathetic little girl. I seem to remember that my grandpa was the only one that actually paid me money to see it. Grandpas are nice that way.
3 - During christmas break of my sophmore year in high school I had minor surgery on both my feet. When we went back to school after christmas break I had to wear those walking cast thingies on both feet. Only for a week . I remember walking to classes and hearing people say, "She broke both her feet?" Someone even asked me if I had a skiing accident. Needless to say I was more than thrilled to not have to wear them to school anymore.
4 - When I was younger I wanted to be an 0lympic gymnast. I used to love watching the 0lympics on TV and dreaming of being in the 0lympics someday. We had a trampoline and I would perform my own tricks and flips. I even taught myself how to do back flips. It is a miracle that I never broke my neck. Though I did get whiplash once, from doing a seat. I think I was having a seat war with someone. I lost.
5 - Once in Junior High I lied about being in detention so that I could eat lunch with my friend who actually was in detention. Only thing is some how I ended up having to spend lunch in the office, by myself.
6 - I like to make funny faces. Somehow this has rubbed of onto my children. My husband has been affected by this as well. Digital cameras are soooo much fun....
We were taking a picture to see who had the biggest mouth. He does hands down, but you wouldn't know it based on this picture.
7 - I steal my children's candy. Each month my visiting teacher's bring a small treat for each of my children. Sometimes my children actually get it. It depends on if there is chocolate involved and how close it is to that time of the month. When it is that time of the month I have been known to tear through my entire kitchen searching for any chocolate I can get my hands on.
So, there you have it. If you would like to play along let me know.


20 people have something to say:
You don't live near me, do you? Because I totally think we'd get along great. I told my hubby I was pregnant on April Fools Day. He's been snipped, so he was a stressin it a little. Then, thru my laughter, I told him Tupac was the dad. It was CLASSIC.
I planted rabbit poop when i was little because I thought they were seeds. Who's a pathetic little girl now???
hi amanda: thanks for stopping by today at my 7 thing meme (dorky moments), too. i really had fun remembering these and writing about these.
wow, i was impressed at your big mouth pic! so funny that we all really thought you were really pregnant.
i hate it when i am CRAVING a piece of chocolate. i start doing an immediate mental assessment (is there ANY chocolate in the house, where where, any hidden there? no no... and immediately in my mental assessment, i sadly realize there is absolutely NO chocolate in the whole house ... it only takes about two seconds). i can totally relate to this one :)
~cheers :) kathleen
no shame in #6 or 7! i do those both frequently... :)
hey, thanks for dropping by and showing your support!
tori: LOL!!! That is funny that you had your hubby going. Rabbit poop?? That is funny!
kathleen: I didn't think anyone would actually think I was pregnant! Mmmmmmm chocolate!!
lei: Thanks for stopping bye! :D Thanks for letting me know I'm not the only one that steals candy from my children. ;)
I.Am.Not.Pregnant. Yeah right! Anyways, congrats!!
Tori: "Tupac is the dad", bwahahaha!
2-Pay-per-View Rock collection and planting rabbit poop. Oh no, that kills me.
7-Stealing children's candies. Ok, so my tjinking is, they don't need that much candy. I, on the other hand, am is need of it.
#1 - bummer. I am. Just kidding. I'm not, but one year on April Fools Day I told Nathan that I was. He's still a little mad about that.
Is that scott in the picture? That does NOT look like him. It is cracking me up.
NCS: My thoughts exactly on the candy. They don't need that much candy. Besides, I appreciate good chocolate more than they do. lol
Wendy: Congrats! ;) Yes, that is Scott. Pretty silly huh!
We're supposed to share our children's candy with them?
Hmmmm.... :-)
I thought all good mommies stole their little ones' chocolate. Mine lost about half of their Easter candy that way. They totally forgot about it. I sure didn't.
The rock collection sounds like something I would've done!
:o)
That is a lovely, lovely picture of you and your hubby. What a sweet grandpa to pay to view your rock collection :)
I'm the same way with chocolate - even though I haven't had "that time of the month" since I got preggo with Rand. I have moments that cause me to seriously scour the house for any scrap of chocolate possible.
Great post! I used to want to be a gymnast in the Olympics when I was little too! I also steal my kids' candy. There is no way they need that much! I love all your candid shots. Your faces are so cute! :)
Very fun! Love the faces!!
The recipe is soo easy:
1 bag of buttered popcorn, popped
2 squares almond bark, melted
hot tamales
Pour melted almond bark over popcorn add hot tamales and enjoy!!!
Thanks utmommy! That sounds so easy and very yummy!
Hi amanda!
Pleased to meet you, you candy-swipin', rock-pimpin', trampoline jumpin', um...formerly-cast-footed wild woman?
This was fun to read, and I'm pretty sure we must be related.
Eating candy that belongs to children is known as tithing at my house.
Oh, and Tori, I am totally stealing your idea for next April.
I wonder if that would work in in cyberspace: Send my one dollar by paypal and you can see my rock collection
I can make some great faces too, but my mouth ain't that big!
My VT's=My treat!
Tori won me over with the Tupac comment.
I found the last Ghiradelli square. SAM wanted to arm wrestle me for it.
hi amanda: are you still not pregnant? he he
i loved elizabeth-w's comment about the kids' candy is called "tithing" at her home. what a hoot.
