Ilinap over at Dirt and Noise tagged me for another Internet Tell-All… I’m supposed to share six things about myself and then tag six others to do the same. I’m sure ya’ll are waiting with baited breath to see what I write (snort), but rest assured, I promise not to reveal anything about myself that screams, “TOO MUCH INFORMATION!”.
I’ll save that for another meme. Wink.
1.) My favorite movie is “How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days”. I know, I’m such a cliche. I can’t help it, I LOVE romantic comedies.
2.) I’m allergic to wasps. It isn’t life threatening, but I’ll bet my neighbor almost had a heart attack when a wasp flew up my shorts last year and I ripped them off in the driveway. I didn’t care that I was running around the yard in my underwear, I was more worried about what was going to happen if the wasp got all up in my business and stung me there. He didn’t… he stung me three times on my knee and I couldn’t walk for four days. I broke out into hives, and my entire leg swelled up to twice it’s normal size… it was gross. I ended up in the emergency room where the nurse told me she’d “never seen anything like it”. I am a medical mystery.
3.) I’m voting for McCain. And that’s all you’ll ever see me write about that. Political posts tend to bring out the trolls and, quite frankly, I’m not in the mood for trolls.
4.) I have ADHD… when I was tested 10 years ago I scored in the 98th percentile for impulsivity (I don’t think that’s a word… spellchecker keeps wanting me to replace it with “impassivity”. Screw you, spellchecker, I know what I’m trying to say!). It was the only test I ever rocked.
5.) It’s annoying to me when people ask if I’m sorry Mark and I never had a girl, especially when they ask me in front of one of my kids. Clueless, much? And you have no idea how pissed/upset I was when people would say, “Oh, another boy?” after I had my ultrasound when I was pregnant with Ryerson. Never mind the fact that he was healthy… I would never learn to french braid or have a reason to buy tights. To be honest, I would rather spend an entire afternoon watching a football game than one hour watching a ballet recital, and I don’t feel like I’ve missed out on anything by not having a girl. Plus, my kids are awesome.
6.) I’m not nearly as shallow or as much of an airhead as I come across on my blog. I keep my blog “light” intentionally… I have enough stress without bringing it to TEOI. I love to laugh and it’s the little things I want my kids to remember about me when I’m gone.
OK, and now for the final task… I’m tagging six people to bare their souls to the world-wide web. C’mon ladies and gentleman… have fun with it. Write six things about yourself, six things that you would never share with anyone (not that I did, but I should have added that I’m a total hypocrite… do as I say, not as I do 
). Post your secrets on the internet where we can all laugh and judge you. It’ll be fun!
Here are the rules:
1. Link to the person who tagged you.
2. Post the rules on your blog.
3. Write 6 random things about yourself.
4. Tag 6 people at the end of your post.
5. Let each person know he/she has been tagged.
6. Let the tagger know when your entry is up.
Ready, ladies/gentleman? On your mark… get set… meme.

Number 5… I totally get that. Except, I have all girls, which aren’t mine. And people ask me, IN FRONT OF THEM, if I am sorry I didn’t have my own. WTF?!?! A kid doesn’t have to contain part of your DNA to be YOUR OWN! Sorry, got a little ranty there.
Is it wrong to wish I had ADHD? That must be why your house is so clean…
And yay I got tagged! woo. I’ll get it done in the next couple of days.
Very well done! I cannot believe that people would ask you that, period, never mind in front of your kids. Well, you know what, yes I can. People…
Loved reading your six!
I get the girl question all the time too. It stupefies me since I am just thankful to have two healthy kids. We never found out the gender beforehand anyway so we clearly did not care. I’m plenty happy to be missing out on ballet, princesses, and boy troubles.
I post about politics a lot but I’m not a troll. I promise.
Thanks for the enlightening meme!
Danggit, I was already tagged on this. That was the inspiration for my offices have free food, i like food post. Not to worry. I will come up with a meme and then meme myself six times. I will do a big reveal soon.
I love romantic comedies, too, but… How To Lose A Guy In 10 Days! Girl, we need to talk. You need to watch better romantic comedies.
Even if I had a girl, I swear to you, there’d be no way I would ever be able to figure out how to french braid. Cripes, I can barely put a decent ponytail in my own hair!
I think of weird stuff about me all the damn time, then it flits out of my head. I’ll see to it that I am carrying around pieces of paper to jot my weirdness down when it strikes me.
Perhaps that is weird…
Ack! So mean! Lemme see what I can do to respond to this without getting in trouble with my best friend. I’ll be back! (That was both a warning and a promise!)
I’m a bit ADHD too, who isn’t? Who would ask you that in front of your boys?
That’s funny that people ask you about having a girl and it annoys you. I hate, hate, hate when people tell me I have a “million dollar” family because I have a boy and a girl. Just because one has a penis and one has a vagina doesn’t make me any better. I wish I could tell them to get over themselves already but you know. It’s that conflict thing. Not happenen.
I think you should put together a post of really good comeback lines related to number five!!
Hah … I didn’t know that you posted the link for the meme ( and why is it called that ) and I’ve done gone and linked you to another one.
