Unknown Things About Me

So quite some time ago I got tagged by Three Olives to list 7 things you may not know about me. But even if you do I'm gonna say em again so put that in your eye. HA

1. I met the house elf on the internet. We were both on Yahoo chat, and started talking when we were both bored at work. He was in Oakland and I was in southern AZ. After a couple months of chatting and phone calls, he broke down my resistance to meet in person. He spent 5 days in AZ. We talked about many things including looking for a mate. He went home on a Monday, on Friday I told him to call me. When he finally did (he thought I was going to dump him) I said if you were serious about what we talked about when you were here, bring a ring your next visit. That's how we got engaged. We've been married 8 years in August.

2. I have 6 tattoos. Not just little tiny tats like a cute little flower on my ankle but big ass honker tattos. In my left calf a castle in the clouds that goes from my knee to my ankle. On my left Thigh a Pegsus done in 6 shades of blue. On my left upper arm a dragon done in purple and pink (the house elf has the exact same dragon on his left arm only his is red and green) A unicorn on my left shoulder, a red rose on my right shoulder and then a large piece across my upper back that hooks the two on my shoulder. It's a large blue rose in the middle of my back and then a tribal from shoulder to shoulder with a rose vine entwining the tribal with pinkish purple rose buds.

3. I have severe arthritis in my back. I have had 4 rounds of steroids shoved into my spin, a disk-o-gram to see if surgery would help and 8 nerves burnt in my spine trying to get rid of the pain. I now can understand and symphitize with my mom for getting hooked on pain killers. Daily I am worried I'm going to be stuck in a wheelchair because the pain is so bad. I try not to let my family, my friends and my co-workers see how much pain I'm in but it's so bad I cry myself to sleep at night on a daily basis.

4. I like to collect music boxes. Not the actual box but the little statue things that have a music box attached to it. I don't have a super lot because I deceided to only collect the ones that were given to me by family and friends. But I love the collection I have. Kitties, owls, dancers dolphins and several others. I also collect wind chimes, not to the point that Burfica or my mom did but I have a nice little collection.

5. I am a scuba diving dive master. So is my husband but he will be an instructor in a couple months. I love to dive, but my back is affecting my ability to dive well, and so I've cut way back on my diving. From almost 150 dives a year to 30 to 50 dives a year.. I hate that. And I don't work with students much right now as if my back is in so much pain can I really keep a student safe. So I don't do that to much.

6. Smart ass...to the core. I know where it comes from. My father is a very sarastic person, to the point of being mean sometimes. So Burfica and I picked up being a smart ass as a defense mechinism. We have tried to curb it to being funny, and not to hurt anyone's feelings. But my last visit with Burf, I noticed being around my dad, I locked in to defensive mode again and was getting mean. I love my father very very much but he can be quite cruel sometimes. But at 67 he's not going to change. Only I can choose to change for me.

7. I had to tell the doctors not to do anything to keep my mother alive. And it makes me cry my heart out every day. No matter how many times she and I discussed this final decision it does not make it any easier to live with. And I would almost sell my soul for a few weeks to do some things differently with her. I was having so many problems in my life the last few months she was alive that I don't think I treated her with as much love and respect I should have and could have. I can only pray that she knows, and is happy that all those problems I was having are past and my life is good now and that I love her so much.

Well that's a peak into my life. As boring as it might be. It's who I am, it's how I live. Some people like me for it. Others don't. I can't make up their minds for them, and the ones that don't, I still try to treat with respect because I care about all of them. With the exception of one whore if she ever shows up on my door step I'll try to find a reason to shoot her for trespassing. But that's a story I won't go into.

Have a good weekend all.
