6 Random Things

So Kelly over at Baking with the Boys decided to put the proverbial sticky note on me – the 6 Random Things that you never wanted have been dying to know about me -

Here’s the rules and legal fine print:
1. Link to the person who tagged you.
2. Post the rules on the blog.
3. Write six random things about yourself.
4. Tag six people at the end of your post.
5. Let each person know they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog.
6. Let the tagger know when your entry is up

Well, let’s get started, shall we? (Don’t say you weren’t warned!)

1. 12 years ago, I was a highly paid Vice President of an engineering company – and children were the last thing on my mind. I’m still not sure how it happened. You might have to ask my husband.

2. Although I couldn’t pass Algebra in high school to save my life, my whole professional career has been in finance. Go figure. (ha! literally!) And my high school counselor told me I would never amount to anything.

3. When I was 18, my mother tried to get me to attend cooking school in Belgium. By myself. My brother offered to dress in drag if he could come with me. Needless to say, I never went. And my brother never did fit into my clothes.

4. I didn’t leave home until I was married. The food was great, the accommodations were spectacular, and my parents are awesome people. Why would I want to leave?

5. My long term goal is to be able to complete a sentence, finish a thought and not do 12 things at once. Hey, I can dream, can’t I?

6. Never in my wildest dreams did I think I would have a blog that people would actually read, comment on and enjoy. Ok, so no one has ever said they enjoy it – except my dad! Hi Dad!

Now, before someone else gets to them, I tag:
