Amelia Takes On the World

Well my friend Amanda tagged me from her blog to do 7 random facts – and I need to tag someone else to keep the chain going.  So Jenni – when you read this – you need to post 7 random facts on your blog!  Tag!

Okay 7 random facts is going to be hard for me to come up with, but here goes:

1) I played bass clarinet in high school, and actually cared about music back then and yes – went to band camp – every summer

2) Apparently when I was little I wanted to play tennis, because my mom played tennis and that meant I could get married and have babies – ironically I do now play tennis and it was a pre-cursor to getting married and having babies

3) Not totally about me – but Amelia’s name came about because I dreamed that is what we named her… and then it grew on us – and we did live on Amelia Island for about 6 months when I was 4

4)  I bought a guitar to learn how to play after dating a guy who was good at it – he even wrote me a song – and I never learned and gave the guitar to my mom.  I was surprisingly good at guitar hero the first and only time I’ve played though…

5) I like sleep – having a 7 month old doesn’t really help with that – but even before her, we’d go to bed early… now its even earlier.  Like 9pm early.

6)  I read surprisingly fast – and I can totally block out things around me – like my husband, poor thing.  Its a habit I picked up while traveling for work as a consultant in airports & planes.  My favorite all time series is by Diana Galbaldon – Outlander – its historical fiction with romance thrown in.  I prefer ‘fake’ because its an escape from the real world for me, though I do like other books.  Amelia has put a crimp in my reading.

7)  I’ve lived in … Metarie, LA; Amelia Island, FL;Norcross, GA; Cupertino, CA; Kingwood, TX; Durham, NC (Go Blue Devils!); and now Atlanta, GA … with a few three month stints thrown in for internships/work in Austin, TX; Tampa, FL; Phoenix, AZ.   Trying to cover most of the Southeast with a couple Western cities thrown in for good measure.

Okay – Jenni – tag!
