In order to accept this award I am supposed to say 7 unusual things about myself. Hmmm.
1. I used to have to "rock" myself to sleep. I have since overcome this, but it was a real issue in my younger years. I would lay on my right side and rock back and forth until I passed out...I couldn't go to sleep without this ritual. My mom tried to figure out for years why my 1988 poodle perm would never hold on the right side of my head, so she took me to have it permed EVERY 3 MONTHS. Crispy headed torture.
2. I used to pick my nose while I was rocking myself to sleep and had a booger collection on the backside of my mattress. My sister ratted me out to my parents and one of my friends and I was really embarrassed...about as embarrassed as I feel admitting this right now. I know, gross right? But you know you pick your nose too!
3. My original major was Broadcast Journalism. I wanted to be...don't laugh...an MTV VJ. I even proudly announced this to the Dean of Mass Communications in front of the entire freshman journalism class at USC. No shame. Move over Downtown Julie Brown.
4. I have really bad A.D.D. I try my best to concentrate, but I always get distracted (oooh shiny) and always forget to do things. I mean well...I really do. Even if you have to repeat what you just told me.
5. I absolutely love to cook, but I'm just not that good at it. I will never be my grandmother-in-law or Martha Stewart. My latest mishap occurred last week when I caught Andy's grilled cheese sandwich on fire. Before that, I caught a pot of boiled peanuts on fire because I forgot about them (A.D.D.) and all of the water evaporated.
6. I used to love writing poems and won a poetry competition a long time ago. My poem was published in some book. I don't even know which book (A.D.D.).
7. I tried to become a Youtube celebrity by making several cocktail induced dance videos. That didn't work out too well.

Jessica-I am so glad that I came across your blog. I am going to check out the other blogs tonight. I have a 21 month old baby but I cannot safely get pregnant again and am hoping for a surrogate. I have been in your shoes before the biggest miracle happened for me. I hope it happens for you too!

As for the rocking yourself to sleep, you get that from your Mom. She did the same thing when we shared a bed! As for the ADD, you get that from..."Oh look! A bunny!" Go figure! Lol!
Tha last one was from me! Sorry!
Love, Aunt M
Congrats on your awards...they are well deserved. You write really well and with lots of humor!
She did get the rocking from me, and I still do it to this day! As for the boogers, I FOUND them on your bed, like a whole 4" row of them, your sisters didn't rat you out, I did! And as far as the ADD goes, you get it honestly...
Love,
Moma
#1~I couldn't go to sleep unless you rocked...so I would wake you up again and again so I could fall asleep! lol!
#2~Momma doesn't know what she's talking about b/c I SO ratted you out! Sorrrrrryyy! LOL hard!
#3~LOVE YOU and I know y'all will get your little miracle soon.
Katie, you seriously kept waking me up?!? That is so funny! As a matter of fact, I do remember wondering why I couldn't stay asleep!
Thanks:) Love you too!
Yes, I would get nervous if you fell asleep first! When the rocking would start to slow down I would call out your name and you would start back up! LOL!
