Ok, Molly "taged" me so now I am going to name seven interesting things about myself. I am pritty boring, so I might have to stretch a couple of things to "kind of interesting, but mostly mundane" things about myself. So here I go...
#1. Everyone knows that I live in Russia. However when I was in russia I lived with someone from the Russian maffia, got chased in a metro station, spit on at a bus stop, ate shark, kicked off a bus, almost ran over by a tram, and surrounded and almost mugged by a band of gypsies. Yes, there really are gypsies. And that really is not all of the near misses I had there. I was born under a lucky star I guess. And I was only eighteen at the time.
#2. I loved living in California!! I got to work for an executive producer who live in Malibu. Which means that I ran into a lot of stars. I met Ozzie and Sharon Osborn ( who told me I was F___ pritty) , Mariah Carrey, Julie Andrews, and Dick Van Dike. The little girl I nannied for was also friends with Potsy from Happy Days, Ansil Williams's little girl. So I met him too. I was also mistaken for Kate Winslet while I was shopping at the Ralf's in Malibu.
#3. I can speak Russain and I know sign Language. I use to want to be a teacher for deaf kids, but instead I teach my kids sign so that befor they can talk, we can still communicate. My little girl will be three in december and she hasn't had a full blown temper tantrum. And I think that it is because She is always understood.
#4. I have been to Russia, Latvia, Lithuania, Estonia, Switzerland, Finland, Canada (does that count?) mexico and Puoto Rico.
#5. I have a photographic memory. I always win the memory games at baby showers. My husband calls me Monk. I always win fights because I can recall exactly what you said in the way you said it. You would be better not to even try. :)
#6. I am a published author. Before you get to excited let me tell ya what it is. In high school I won a writing contest and had two of my poems published in a book of poetry, which they said that I could buy for $50. bucks. So I don't even have the book that they are in. Oh well, someone out there does.
#7. This may not be interesting to anybody ealse, but to me the most interesting thing about myself is my two kids. They are fun and exciting. They keep me busy and make me laugh everyday. If you told me ten years ago that I would have the best time of my life on the floor in my jammies coloring in a coloring book whilst watching winny the pooh, I would have said you were crazy. But they make everything new again and that is the most interesting thing about me.
The day after Evan's blessing, we found ourselves temporary residences of the Ogden Reigonal Medical Center. Chad woke up sunday night throwing up. We thought at first that maybe it was food poisoning. After a sleepless night, he still got himself up to go to work. After he came home, he couldn't stand up straight and he was so weak. He was so very pale. His lips were completly void of color.
We were thinking that Chad was dehydrated so we called his mom to watch the kids, then we went to the ER. Turns out that when you throw up purple liquid, that means you have blood in your stomache. Chad had a bleeding ulcer. Half the blood in his body was now in his stomache. Matters were made worse by the fact that Chad takes a blood thiner because of his metal heart valve. They admitted him into the ICU right away.
