7 Random Facts about ME

I have been tagged by Wendy Vecchi and Lisa Pace (both friends from our Maya Road design team) to post seven random facts about myself.  I have ignored these tags for as long as possible as I didn't want to bore anyone.  But today, I found myself with a bit of free time (shocker) and decided to make this one fun.  So here goes - sorry if this is long, but I have lots of photos to demonstrate my points!

1)  I was on the Newlywed Game two times with my first husband - they called us back for an alumni game because we (me) were so funny!  We won that game.  Tom (my current husband) set up the TiVo to tape all the NW games shows for a while and we found one of the two.  Shockingly embarrassing - hope no one else saw it!  Here is proof (photo right after we won):

2)  I once had hair extensions.  I wanted longer, thicker hair, so they were first put in with clips which tore my hair out.  Then we tried glue and they would fall out all the time at the gym when I sweat.  I had a convertible at the time and the clips were always showing.  It was a very embarrassing time for my hair which kept getting thinner due to all of it falling out.  So finally I had to cut it short to get it healthy again and I have never tried extensions since.  Here is a photo of it somewhat short - I think this was taken on Christmas (see item 7 for explanation on apendages to my face):

3)  Speaking of my hair, I used to get perms all the time and I had REALLY big hair as shown here (forgive the dust on this one - I'm too lazy to remove it):

4)  I used to dress up for Halloween at work every year.  Twice I was this martian called a Uranian from Uranus.  I used a trash bag as my outfit.  The make up was actually very well done!  This was my first year as a Director and I had to sit in my first Senior Staff meeting with all the execs with this outfit on.  It was not a good way to start having people take me seriously!

5)  In eighth grade, we moved from Virginia to California.  My aunt thought I needed a make over before starting school, so she took me to get this cute little short hair cut and plucked my eyebrows half way off.  My nick name became the Tall Tan Geek.  Seems from this picture, it might have been accurate.  Luckily I shed that nick name in high school!  Geek or not, I just wish my legs were still this thin!  haha

6)  I've been kissed on the cheek by Tom Selleck (right before this shot - I'm still in dream land):

7)  I have a serious addiction problem - CANDY!  I eat some every day.  Some times I try to cut out sugar and I do good for a few weeks, but then another holiday hits and I'm a gonner.  I hunt it out and steal it from my kids stash.  I know every candy store around and visit them often.  Here are some pictures of my favorites:

And now I am supposed to tag seven others, so here you go!
