Well, since I don't have any pictures to share (Adam threw my camera off the top of our stairs and shattered it) I thought this would be a perfect time to take Kristin's challenge and share 6 unusual things about me. Some of these things I can't believe I'm sharing, so promise you won't all want to commit me after reading them.
1. I secretly love to play the piano, but can't play that well. Usually on Sundays I play to my heart's content. Yesterday my friend Jodi called (a fabulous pianist), Andrew answered the phone and had her listen to me without me knowing. I was so embarrassed.
2. Sometimes when I clean my house, I pretend someone really important is coming over (i.e., my boss, the prophet, etc.) to motivate me to do a good job. So weird, I know.
3. I like the PBS cartoon Arthur - even more than my kids!
4. Once during an interview I was asked, "If you could be a kitchen appliance, what would it be?" Stupidly, I responded, "A refrigerator so I could be different temperatures." That doesn't even make any sense!
5. I have a tiny tattoo on my left ankle, which I hate more than anything (occurred my freshmen year at WSU). Funny, it cost $20 to put on and would cost $2,000 to have removed, which would almost be worth it except they can't "completely" remove it - whatever that means.
6. Once during my junior year in high school I was having a fight with my boyfriend outside one of the classrooms. I embarrassingly asked, "don't you think I'm pretty anymore?" Ugh! How pathetic! Why couldn't I have asked, "don't you think I'm smart anymore"??? Even worse, right at that moment my biology teacher came out of the classroom and started lecturing me about self worth. To this day, I cringe when I think of this.
Well, there it is. I hope I still have friends after sharing all this unusualness (my family members are stuck with me!)

Oh Carolyn! I thoroughly enjoyed reading about some of your quirks. We all have them! I loved your fantasy about cleaning your house for an important visitor. And your piano playing secret. You are such a cute person - in a very beautiful, sophisticated, lawyerly package. :)
I agree with Alisa! I am so glad you have a few quirks...It makes me feel so much better about my MANY!! I, too, am a fellow Arthur fan. I can get drawn in very quickly! It's just so cute and idealistic. Yay Arthur!!
Yes...you are a "very beautiful, sophisticated,lawyerly" woman...with a PAST (hence the tattoo)! I LOVE IT!
Sorry about your camera - sounds like something Sean would do!!!
You're so brave to share - and fun for us to learn more about you. You're great!!! I am glad I know you.
You know you will always have me for a friend. And an even better one now! I love it when you share things about yourself!
I love Arthur too! Asa has told me that he wishes I could be nice like Arthur's mom. I tell him as soon as he listens like Arthur I'll be nice like his mom.
