A few odd things that only my tightest homies (lol) know about me (and now you):

- I have two master’s degrees.  Yes, that’s right… TWO!  I is smart.  Actually… the hardest part about graduate school is paying for it… oh… and keeping myself… from using… ellipses… in my thesis…

- I have had half of a sewing needle stuck in the bottom of my left foot for 20 years.  You could say I’m the bionic woman… and man my bionic foot ached today… the price of being a superhero, I suppose.

- My Commodore64 was the greatest thing I’ve ever owned.  I miss it.  Typing 8,798,479 lines of code to get it to print my name across the screen… that’s some fine, quality fun.  Perhaps today’s kids need C64’s.  They are so used to instant gratification… I think hours of work for a very small payout would be a good life lesson… in fact, the best life lesson.  Can I get an amen?

- When I was 15, I danced on second base and home plate on opening day in Comiskey Park… WITH Mickey Mouse and the gang.  I know, right?  What’s sad is… I can still recall all of the songs and could probably fake my way through the whole routine today.  (To the tune of “I Need a Hero”… 5-6-7-8… Where have all the heroes gone, yes we are here to say… a guy like Joe DiMaggio would really make our day…)  LOL!

- One of my jobs in college involved being a “Professional Bra Fitter”.  Jealous?  AND I had a snazzy ribbon attached to my ID badge stating that I had earned this prestigious title.  Unfortunately, it meant I also had to measure a few racks… but that’s a whole other blog entry waiting to happen.  A friend recently asked if I had to undergo any further training to keep my certificate valid.  Of course!  I’m hoping to get endorsed in moobs next.

Are these the defining moments of my life?  Not so much.  Conversation starters?  Sometimes.  Reasons why I should be in therapy?  Absolutely.
