Hey, if this is your first time here, subscribe to my RSS feed. Thanks for visiting!

I’ve been so busy over the past week or so - ok, I’m always busy but even moreso lately - and I haven’t had much time to get caught up with blog posts. (Do you realize that I have like 429 7 blogs now? This one, the sadly-neglected co-parenting blog, my graphics blog, my VA blog, my “diary”, an anonymous blog, and a group blog I’m launching soon for single WAHMs. Hey, that’s one for every day of the week!)

Anyway, I’ve been tagged a few times lately with a “Random Things About Me” meme. From Diane (another “crazy mom”…we’re planning world domination) at Crazy Mom’s Journal and Cindi at Moomette’s Magnificents tagged me with “6 random things” and Alyssa at Life From My Laptop tagged me with “7 random things”. So I averaged them out and came up with “6.333333 Random Things About Me”.

1) I’m left-handed. I love all of those lefty jokes about only lefties being in their right mind. I even have a left-handed coffee mug that says “Lefties Do It Right”.

2) I’m a Golden Gloves champ and a state gold medalist in boxing. I won the gold medal after knocking a girl out in the second round. My kids have seen me compete. You would think kids wouldn’t be able to tolerate watching their mom get hit but mine were loving it! In fact, they were sitting in the crowd hanging out with the kids of the woman I was competing against. I even went to the Women’s National Golden Gloves in Augusta, GA one year and got my @$$ kicked by lost to a 19 year old girl.

3) I’m also a former rollergirl. I did derby for about a year under the name Raquel Welts and I was the Sponsorship Director for our local league. I even landed us a $3,000 deal with Pabst Blue Ribbon.

4) I’ve lived in Europe twice. My parents were both military so I lived in Germany with my dad and in Spain with my mom. This happens to be the reason I am not allowed to donate blood through the American Red Cross. Something about mad cows….

5) I have a condition called hyperhidrosis. It runs in my family. Some of my relatives had it so bad they had surgery. I just take medication for mine.

6) I have three brothers. Actually, they’re all half-brothers. My dad has twin boys from his second marriage and my mom has a son from her second (and current) marriage. So…if my twin brothers are my half brothers, does that add up to a whole brother? Oh, and they’re both diabetic (and so is my son).

And for that .3333333 random thing about me…(you were wondering how I was going to pull that one off, weren’t ya?):

Pretty clever, huh? See, since I’ve already posted it, it was almost effortless…it only took about 1/3 the effort.

Ok, so rather than follow the rules - I’m such a rebel - and choose six or seven people to tag, I’m going to open it up to anyone who wants to jump in and take the challenge. I’ve had a LOT of new visitors lately thanks to my giveaways so I’m hoping I gained some new regular readers and I’d love to learn about you if you’re one of those that plans on sticking around. If you DO decide to take the tag, leave me a comment and let me know!
