Four Things You Don't Know About Me

I hope everyone's week is off to a great start!


For this week's Tuesday Topics, I'll be telling you all 4 things you don't know about me.



1.  I am an only child, but I would have had two brothers and two sisters.  My mother miscarried two babies before she had me and two babies after she had me.  I would have been the middle child instead of an only child.  I often wonder how different my life might have been had they survived.  I never got to meet them, but I miss them.


2.  My mind has a wonderful way of taking a fear that I have and turning it into something awful.  If I'm driving behind a truck that has something in the bed of it, like cars, logs, or things like that, I'm suddenly envisioning these 'Final Destination' scenarios where whatever it is dislodges and comes crashing into the front of my vehicle, killing me instantly.  I'm terrified of driving on bridges, especially over water.  When I have to drive over one, I start to picture crashing, or the bridge collapsing, and then I end up drowning because I can't swim.


3.  I had glasses in the sixth grade but I hated them so I eventually stopped wearing them.  I thought everything was fine and maybe I didn't need them after all ;).  haha.  Two years ago though when I was renewing my drivers license, I almost failed the vision part because I couldn't read the chart.  Oops.  I got glasses (again) shortly after that and wear them all the time now.  ;)


4.  I have met two of my favorite authors.  I met Tim Myers a few years ago at our local Barnes & Noble.  He was doing a question and answer session with fans and then did a book signing.  Tim is a local author.  So local he lives in the same city as me.  Cool, huh?  I also went with my friend Abby a few months ago and met Nicholas Sparks.  I took a copy of one of my favorite books for him to sign.  I'd love to see them both again sometime!


So, that's it for my 4 facts.

What are some things people don't know about you?
