This is a fun game going around the autism blogs. I was challanged by Tara to reveal 5 little-known things about myself. So brace yourselves, this could get scary...
1. My favorite color is purple. Any shade. I love them all. It isn't something I wear or decorate with though. Purple, for me, is a state of mind. When I feel confident, I feel purple. When I am happy, I am mauve. When I feel calm, I feel lavender. When I am pissed as hell, my brain sees fuschia. You get the idea.
2. You wouldn't know it if you looked at either of my desks, my kitchen counter, my car, or most any place in my home, but mentally I am very organized. I think in outlines - Roman numerals and all! Appointments are arranged chronologically and subcategorized with my "to-do" list. It's a disease, really, for which there is no cure. Unfortunately, when I am going through the house trying to get things done, I am easily distracted by the multitude of tasks that need to be accomplished and the new ones that appear as soon as one is begun. I never seem to get anything completed because I get pulled away by the little disasters that need attention now. Call it ADD if you want. I just see it as having too much to do.
3. When I was 9 years old, I got a terrible case of gas. Not the kind that leaves your body quickly either. The kind that builds up and really hurts. My sister and her friend, both of them 11 at the time, were trying to help me figure out why my tummy hurt. Her friend asked if I had ever kissed a boy. I said, "Yes, when I was 4. His name was Marty." The friend said, "Maybe you're tummy hurts because you're having a baby!" Even at the young age of 9, I was pretty sure kissing didn't cause babies; but somehow, she convinced me that I had been pregnant for the last 5 years.
4. Just before Ian was born, Steve and I made a batch of sparkling wine/champagne. It was very good, and we drank every bottle, except one, which we have labeled as Ian's bottle. We plan to save it for his 21st birthday. So far, it has traveled half way across the country twice. Naturally, we felt the need to do something similar for Ainsley. Hers is a bottle of Cabmerlot.
5. I once met Esther Williams - the actress who did the movies with the synchronized swimmers. She was stunning at 70+ years of age. That's when it really hit home for me that beauty is something that comes from within.....a plastic surgeons office!
O.K. bloggers, if you just read this, you're IT!
