hmmm...this requires some thought.

1. I have a tattoo on my big toe. It's of a sun, but unfortunately it looks like the sun has an eyeball in the middle of it. It bugs me, but not enough to go back and get it fixed!

2. I stood in line for 3 hours in hopes of getting a ticket to game 4 of the 2004 alcs game between the red sox and the yankees at fenway park. my husband was so proud. i ended up getting a ticket, but unfortunately the game was rained out and i was leaving boston the next day. boo.

3. After standing in line for so long to get that ticket, I ended up meeting a nice guy, who was a restaurant reviewer for citysearch.com. He invited me to tag along with him and his parents to review a restaurant since the game got rained out. Yes, I called my husband to tell him about it - but looking back it's kind of weird that I got in the car with basically a perfect stranger, drove to a really nice restaurant in boston where his parents met us and we all dined together - on citysearch's dime. He also ended up buying my ticket to the game, so I didn't lose out on that $50.

4. Aa and I were robbed in the Johannesburg, South Africa airport...by the police. Long story short (or long), we found one of our bags missing, went to the police station and after lots of talking they pulled our bag out. OH...I forgot to mention that this bag held our plane tickets to Botswana and back and then home, Aa's passport and lots of money! Needless to say, when we got the bag back, Aa went through it to make sure everything was in there and found everything except his passport! Not good and after a lot of discussion, another police man walked by, holding Aa's passport and nonchalantly asked if it was his. It was all very weird and a bit scary. We grabbed the passport and went on our way, only to figure out in the morning they had gotten away with Aa's Oregon hat and a Nike fleece. Hmmmm....you'd of thought those envelopes of cash might have been more tempting! I guess they were Duck fans!

5. I hate cooked carrots, but love them raw!

6. I met my husband the first day back to Eugene my junior year of college. We were next door neighbors and didn't actually start dating until we moved across town from each other.

7. I used to have a big crush on Shaquille O'Neal when he first was drafted into the nba. I can't even explain it now, but I have t-shirts, signed player cards and pictures of him taken at trail blazers v. magic games that I attended.

ok....now I'm suppposed to "tag" 7 others, but I'm not even sure I know 7 others to tag! How about Megs, Kelle, Heather, Christie and Kelsey...if you ladies feel like doing it...have at it, along with anyone else who might be so inclined...my feelings won't be hurt if you don't! :) leave a comment here if you decide to participate!
