Random thing #1: I close my eyes when I brush my teeth. I have no idea why, or when it started. A couple of years ago I noticed my eyes were closed while I was brushing, I made an effort to open them and it was the most bizarre sensation, so I am assuming that I have been doing this for quite some time.

Random thing #2: I hate the way cardboard or any kind of rough paper feels on my hands. We just rolled a bunch of coins and I can't bring myself to pick up the rolls... just the idea of handling them makes the hair on my neck stand up. Putting a fair amount of lotion on my hands makes it slightly more tolerable. I just told my DH about this a few weeks ago and he thinks that I am nuts.

Random thing #3: Whenever I see the time 11:11 I say "hello"(out loud) to my friend MG who passed away 4 years ago. She used to say "Eleven eleven, elevens a plenty" whenever she saw this time. She used to do this with 10:10 as well, but for some reason I seem to only see 11:11. Since she passed away I see this time at least a couple of times a week, and in the most unusual places - time stamps on emails, fetal monitoring documentation... I miss her everyday, I'm broken hearted that my daughter will never know her. If we ever have a son, his name will be her last name.

Random thing #4: I am the only one in my family who has not become a sports official. My brother referees hockey - he refereed the Olympics in Italy in 2006, my father refereed college and high school football, softball, basketball, and was a gymnastics judge and now works evaluating football officials, my mother was a gymnastics judge. One day...in my abundance of spare time, I would like to get into gymnastics judging, although the sport has changed dramatically since I was involved.

Random thing #5: One of my favorite sounds when the seal is broken on a certain type of IV fluids- it is a very crisp "pop".

Random thing #6: As much as I love my career, and think about what degree I can work on next...all I really want to do is to be a stay at home mom...

Okay, I tag Baby Quest, I believe in Miracles and anyone else who is out there reading.....
