I've been tagged by Barbara Hearne to list 7 unusual facts about myself that most people don't know. Barbara is an amazing wedidng planner, check out her blog here: Barbara's Blog

Here are the rules for the tagging.

1. Link to the person that tagged you and post the rules on your blog.

2. Share 7 random and/or weird things about yourself.

3. Tag 7 random people at the end of your post and include links to their blogs.

4. Let each person know that they have been tagged by leaving a comment on their blog. I emailed everyone so that people aren’t waiting for their random quirks.

Here I go!

1. I have almost a black belt in Tae Kwon Do! I practiced Tae Kwon Do all through high school but then didn't keep up with it after college. I have a red belt with 2 black stripes, which is the closest you can be to a black belt without actually having gotten one :)

2. I hate peanut butter with a passion. Just the smell of it makes me almost sick.

3. I am obsessed with bags and shoes. I just need more closet space!

4. I used to work for a newspaper (The Williamson County Sun) doing photojournalism. The photo here is the favorite image I ever took working there, of an annual kolache bake in a small Texas town.

5. I used to be really, really scared of bees, until I had to shoot an assignment on a beekeeping club for the newspaper (see #4!) I had to get over my fear real fast!

6. I once had a job working as the Pillsbury dough boy for 2 days. I was 16, and my aunt worked for a food service company and they were doing a Pillsbury promotion, and I couldn't turn down $10 an hour at 16 years old! So, I donned the costume and had to actually do the "hehe" every time someone poked me. And no, there are no photos of that :)

7. I went on a trip to Costa Rica with some girlfriends spur of the moment (they had been planning the trip for months). They certified in scuba diving, and I was convinced to take the 2 hour discover scuba diving class by them (I had never dove before). The instructor forgot to tell me that I needed to relieve the pressure in my mask so I got mask squeeze and had to resurface early on the actual diving excursion. My eyes were swollen shut and once the swelling went down I had popped blood vessels all around my eyes for the rest of the trip! And to top it off, I got seasick on the way back to shore (and I never get seasick!!)
