Is there any meme going around that is not list x amount of things about yourself? Cuz like I don't think I've seen it yet. Of course, it is way more entertaining to read about others instead of making up (I mean telling!) stuff about yourself. So since I just told 7 things not long ago, I will tell not just 6 things about myself, I will tell 6 things I have learned in my life. Thanks, Tristi for tagging me.
1. I have learned that if you are going to fill up your car while two 5 year olds are in it, you had better keep the keys in your hand while you're out there at the pump. I learned that just this week. Lucky for me, I learned it just in the nick of time. So I don't have a really interesting and entertaining story to tell you about that one... (whew!)
2. I have learned that Labor day is really a holiday, and it is NOT a reproductive holiday. Duh, LABOR Day. I guess I must explain that I'm only apparently fertile on holidays. And the twins were born at 8 months in late April...
3. I have learned that when you have 4 kids under 4 and a 13 year old, making time for yourself is much more exhausting than any relief it may bring. Just try to survive and enjoy it till they're older.
4. I have learned that every single trait that worries, confuses or irritates you about your children, all the things you wish they would listen to you about and change, are things you can see in adult form if you look in the mirror or in your spouse's eyes or both.
5. I have learned that double boilers HAVE to have water in the bottom pan.
6. I have learned that if you clean after your kids go to bed, the house will usually stay clean for about 8 hours.
I've actually learned a whole lot more, but that will have to do for now. If you have learned anything in life, please comment and I will be happy to tag you. If you don't, I will break the chain and be cursed with bad luck for the rest of eternity. Pleeese help meee!

I'm It!
I just got tagged. I must be a full fledged blogger now. Thanks to Cecily my cyber-pal. I mean, she's a human being, but you know what I mean. I'm supposed to list 7 random facts about myself and pass it on to 7 more bloggers.
Ahem!
1. The first thing that comes to mind is I decorate cakes. I used to make them for every birthday or special occasion. I have even made 5 wedding cakes. Now I just frost cakes and stick action figures on them. This comes to mind because I occasionally do cakes again so I can remember why I don't do them and that was a big part of my weekend. Stay tuned for a cake post.
2. I am a retired basketball player. When I was in 5th grade I won the basketball shooting contest for my grade at school and went to regionals. This is really weird seeing as how I'm a terrible athlete and I was probably like 3' tall at the time, maybe. My best friend was like 5'6". The kids called us the Jolly Green Giant and the Little Green Sprout. I practiced a lot though and tied for 2nd place in regionals. Then I retired.
3. I'm a stack person, not a sink person. That means I can't stand two sinks full of dirty dishes, blocking my way to the use of the sinks for other things. So I stack the dishes next to the sink. I would stack them on the floor before I would fill up the sink with them. Sometimes I fill the sink and start washing dishes and get interrupted and then the dishes sit there in the dish water till it's dirty so I am not innocent. My husband is a sink person. He corrupted my kids. I love him anyways.
4. I cannot think of a single random fact about myself at midnight after 2 weeks of uninterrupted interrupted sleep. That's sort of a double negative there. I also can't speak straight in any language after a certain amount of sleep deprivation. Luckily I wasn't too sleep deprived when I made my T.V. debut on Univision. I was interviewed about interpreting and apparently every time they run out of things to air, they show this episode of Aqui y Ahora again, people are always telling me they saw me a few weeks ago. There, eventually I thought of a fact. Or was that three?
5. My biggest fantasy is to be able to communicate by e-mail with family who have already passed on to the next life. Sorta like White Noise but just the written word and no creepy stuff.
6. What are the odds that two independent interpreters would end up accidentally walking into court with a bra in their respective purses? You don't know, but I do... I also have picked up all kinds of little tidbits in court. For example, If you drink half a bottle of tequila for breakfast, you can pretty much expect the day to go downhill from there. I know you were all going to try that, so I saved you.
7. I am luckier than words can say to have been born into the family that I was. They are all wonderful people that I adore and I owe so much to all of them.
O.K. so I will tag Erin, Victoria, Gerb, Trish, Jen, Anna Maria, and Anne. Sorry guys, hope you haven't done this one yet. I tried to avoid people who I saw got it or something similar to it already. This is worse than a chain letter, isn't it?
