10 Random things.....

Share I was tagged by Andrew to list 10 Random things about me so this post is for you buddy in honor of your first race coming up!  Good luck!

I thought I would list in chronological order:

#1 When I was in my mothers womb she was expecting to have me on July 1st and I arrived August 12th.

#2 In 5th grade I was voted by my peers for the "Miss Clear Creek" award because I snuck candy into camp and all the kids thought I was such a rebel.  It was awesome, the leaders were not impressed.

#3 In high school I played soccer, basketball and softball.  Basketball is my true love and I held the state record for most 3 pointers made in a game.  :)

#4  I went to a private Christian college whose rules were more strict than my parents which isn't easy to do. I loved it.

#5 While on a beach in Mexico the guitar player from Pink Floyd was trying to get me to go back to his beach house so he could "play his guitar" for me.  After a two hour conversation he realized it wasn't going to happen.
Conversation included lines like:
Him: "People shouldn't have so many kids because they use up the worlds resources"
Me: "Do you have any kids? (He is old and I am young remember)"
Him:  " I've been told I do."
Me:  "YOU'VE BEEN TOLD YOU DO?!, Wow, that is really impressive.  You lecture on the irresponsibility of having kids yet you don't even know or take care of your own.  Nice!"
Him:  "So you don't want to go listen to me 'play the guitar'?"
Me: "(trying not to vomit in my mouth) Dude? Really?"

#6 I don't drink coffee or alcohol but drink enough diet coke and eat enough chocolate to cancel out the good of abstaining from the first two.

#7 In my previous life (before children)  I got my BS in Health Administration and worked in the finance department of a large hospital.  I loved my cubicle, spread sheets and adding machine.

#8 I met my husband at a fraternity party.  I was the girl blending in with the wall asking "Why am I here?" Twelve years later he is still my best friend and we have 4 amazing kids. My Family is my life.  I gave up a career and chose to be a Stay at Home mom.  Once my littlest is in school I will likely go to work somewhere.  Trying to figure that out.

#9 I'm a Mormon

#10  Since this is a running blog I'll leave you with one random running thing about me.  The first race I ever ran was a Marathon.  I'm now training for a 5K  :)

Now to tag 3 people, I think I'll go with some of my Arizona peeps:
EMZ
Running Through Phoenix
The Boring Runner

Happy Running,
Adrienne

  2. Five has a lot of meaning for me from the point of view of your husband - my wife has had many propositions and I am so grateful for her love for us.

    Besides ... some guitar players use up so much of the world's resources.

    Thanks for the race wishes Rocky!

  4. Andrew, I should tell you the "proposition" happened when I was single otherwise he would have never gotten 2 hours of my time. He was a douche to say the least. "We don't need no education......ya and you have none."

  5. Hahaha…what a sleeze-ball…with a guitar. You’d think these rock stars would have better pick-up lines. Ones we could aspire to.

    And your family is beautiful. I follow “Day in the life of….” And I love it.

    Oh and thanks for tagging EMZ…maybe she’ll stop whining that she didn’t get tagged over at qonthemove.

    Sincerely,

    The Predicament

  9. That's an awesome list. I was surprised you went to Christian school and love it. Sunday school was as close as I got and it was boring high school forward.

  10. Something funky is up with our blog connection. I just found this by accident. Usually, I get an email when someone posts to my blog, but not for you. Who knows, but I will post ten random things asap. I'm not Mormon, but I work with a devout Mormon and have a lot of respect for Mormons- especially those who run a marathon for their first race! Take care.
