90-81 more things you do not need to know

Here I am continuing the countdown of '100 things about me'.

90. I once saved a toddler's life when I was in the shallow end of a pool. I was getting out and in the corner I looked down and saw the top of a head. I reached down and picked up a young girl and plopped her on the side of the pool where she immediately started crying and ran to her mother who was busy talking to another mom. I was about 12 or 13 and by this age I was usually never in the shallow end of the pool but I was on this day. I never really thought about it for years until my daughter started swimming classes.

89. I am a very picky eater. In fact there are several everyday food items I have never tried such as strawberries, cherries, watermelon, blueberries, peaches, avacadoes and that is only the fruit department. I did not try pizza or hamburgers until I was in my late teens.

88. I have been hospitalized twice (not including births). Once when I was 12 for a rare form of anemia for which I was in quarratined for a few days (and I had passed my first physical the month before so it was odd I was suddenly sick) and the second time was when I had my appendix taken out five years ago.

87. I have never tried smoking.

86. I worked steadily from the age of 15 until I became a mother at age 30.

85. I have worn a hearing aid since I was five years old. I started wearing two in college,

84. I am afraid of being homeless.

83. I do not mind being alone, going to restaurants alone, etc.

82. I was married to my first boyfriend for two years (we dated for four).

81. I did not go to a concert unitl I was 25 years old.


Family Update: Tonight we are going to an indoor football game and the Wisconsin Badger Marching Band is performing so we are all looking forward to it. Since we have all been sick off and on the past two weeks, it will be fun to get out as a family.

Thanks to all who voiced an opinion on the dentist. I am not sure what I am going to do yet.

Have a good one!
