5 Random Facts

I’ve been tagged by Dianne at Daffodil Lane: for the 5 Random Facts meme:

1. I am deathly afraid of high places. It can be a problem at times, espeically when go for hikes. Maybe someday I will tell you how I came to be afraid of heights.

2. I hate housework and I’m a slob. I’ll admit it. My house is a mess. It’s embarrassing and I hope I can fix this little flaw.

3. I was born at lunchtime.

4. I’m a middle child. There’s another interesting little story related to this that I will have to post on sometime.

5. I’m 5’6″. This is interesting. For the longest time, like all of my adult life, I have thought I was 5’8″. I think it even says this on my drivers license. I mean, who measures themselves when they are an adult? Well last summer when I was at home visiting my family my niece, who has been growing like a weed, decided that we should all measure ourselves. Turns out I’m only 5’6″.

    that’s funny about your height. for the longest time I’ve thought I was 5’6″ because when I reached my mom’s height as a teenager, I figured I was 5’6″ since that’s what she said her height was. they measured me at my doctor’s office last year and it turns out that I’m 5’4″! my mom lied about her height for all those years!! (busted)

    looking forward to hearing those other “stories” you mentioned 🙂

    I’m afraid of high places too, but I don’t really know why. And I also don’t like closed in places. I need wide open spaces! LOL 🙂

    My father thought for years he was 6’8″, but a few years ago they measured him and he’s actually 6’9″.
