Tagged...

Thanks to Amy at http://figfarms.blogspot.com/ I have been tagged to share 6 unknown things about me. She got me yesterday but it has taken me all day and night to come up with 6 things because I am not very secretive and most of my friends have known me for years and years, but here goes:

  1. I can speed read-literally. I learned how to speed read in 6th or 7th grade and if I am interested in a book I will usually finish it in 1 or 2 days. This can be a blessing when you are studying or in a hurry but it's a pain when someone wants you to read something and they think you only skimmed it because you are through quickly. Sometimes I will actually look at something for a few seconds longer than it took for me to read it just so the person doesn't think I didn't bother to read all of it.
  2. My middle name is Marie- and this is also the middle name of my Grandmother and my mother. We also gave Reilly that middle name so we have the same middle name for 4 generations of our family.
  3. I almost always wear red polish on my toes because it reminds me of my Grandma, who often wore red fingernail polish on her fingernails. She wore polyester pant sets, etc., and had the old lady helmet hair but I remember thinking that she must have been fun and fashionable in her day just because she still wore red fingernail polish even into her 60's.
  4. My all time favorite song is "Hotel California" and has been my favorite since my teenage years.
  5. I have had the same best friend, Tonia, since elementary school. We can talk everyday or not talk for 2 weeks and still pick up where we left off like no time has passed.
  6. I had no trouble getting pregnant or being pregnant but I was in hard labor at least 12 hours with all 3 of my children before I delivered them.

Not very exciting, to say the least. Sorry-that's all I could come up with. I don't have anybody to tag because we haven't got any new Bunko Babes that are blogging! How about it, girls?

P.S.-I see that Angela has tagged me, also, so we really are needing some new blogger friends. This was fun and would be a good 1st post!
