tag - I'm "it"

Yay!!  I was tagged by Marlene at Mission to a[nother] marathon.

This means you get to enjoy endure reading seven random factoids about moi!

  1. I am one of five children. [I am the baby youngest].  We all live within 30 minutes of each other.  Each of my sisters/brother have four or more children.  I'm really holding the numbers back.
  2. Nicknames growing up:  emilita-decarmelita, boomer, Emz, double E &volleyball Emily.
  3. I get panic attacks.  I'm pretty sure this is about the worst feeling ever.
  4. The only TV show I really watch is "modern family".  Sitting down is not a strong suit of mine.
  5. In general, I find it much easier to "get along" with males than females. 
  6. I love modern / industrial design.  My home is 85% metal, concrete & block.
  7. I was born with a broken collar bone.

Are you going to try to catch up to your sibs with the kids? Even though I watch very little TV, I agree, Modern Family is really funny!

BTW--just noticed your PR. Mine is 3:32. We should run one together and break that 3:30 barrier! (my goal for sure)

You're so lucky to have all of your family close! Awesome.

I used to get panic attacks too. Horrible feeling. Years later when I go into a store where I had one, I worry if I'll have another one. I'm so much better with all of that now. Thank goodness.

Love your random facts!

You would hate my house - it's a very traditional red brick center hall colonial. Pretty much the exact opposite of your house. ;o)

Thanks, Wendy! Delivering a 9 lb. 2-oz. daughter wasn't easy. However, it was more than worth it!

Great list! So, how do you pronounce EMZ? What does it stand for? Is it your initials?
